The Largest Orchard in the World.

The largest orchard 10 the world is
doubtless that owned aud worked very sue
cessfully by Mr.. Robert McKinstry, OF
HUDSON, Columbia county, N. Y. Mr..
McKinstry's orchard is procuring for him
worldwide reputation, and has many
visitors. Like all fruit-growers and others
Of kin to that profession, he is kindly and
literally disposed, and has no secrets to
reserve from others who are interested in
his labors. The orchard is situated on the
east bank Of the Hudson river, on high
rolling table land, and contains more than
$4,000 apple trees, 1900 pears, 1000
cherries, 500 peaches, 200 plums, 200
crabs, 900 vines, 600 currants and 200
ehestnuts. The varieties grown are -
Rhode Island Greening, 1000; Baldwins
5000; King of Tompkins county, 1900
Astrachans, 800; Northern Spy, 500;
Wagener, 500; Gravenstein, 400; Gran.

less number The pears are Bartlett, B.
d'Anjou, Sheldon, Seckel and Lawrence
chiefly. of cherries, there are twenty
eight varieties. The orchard is remarka-
bly, thrifty, and the oldest trees are about
twenty years old. The soil is dry roll
ing gravel, with some limestone; the trees
are planted twenty feet apart, and do not
seem by any means to be crowded. The
ground is plowed several times in the year
and kept fallow, excepting, when thought
advisable, il is seeded to clover. The or
chard is intersected BY roads over six
miles 10 length for the passage Of wagons,
and is bounded by continuous row Of
apple trees set ten feet apart for four and
one-half miles, The soil is certainly well
adapted for fruit growing, for the trees are
clean, thrifty, compact aud loaded with the
highest colored and fairest looking fruit.
The apple crop of the present year is ex-
pected to be 10000 barrels, large por-
tion of which will be exported to Liver
pool and Glasgow. Twenty-four men and
fourteen horses are employed hauling out
the crop or in blowing.

The Cooley System Of Milk Setting.

At late meeting Of the Experimental
(Pa.) Farmers Club, Mr. T. J. Reynolds,
from the committee on this subject, made
a report Mr.. Reynolds has Refrigerator
of this kind, and gives the following as
result Of bis experience with IL:
Began to use the Cooley refrigerator
when making about 100 pounds Of butter
per week. The yield for the FIVE weeks
preceding the use Of the Cooley system
was 102, 81, 100, 81 and 99l pounds.
Began the Cooley plan second month, %;
when the yield was, first week, l. IA pounds,
second week, ll8 pounds, third week, l16
pounds. During this period the same
number Of COWS were kept and had the
sape feed and treatment from Mr.. Rey-
nolds, who takes charge of them himself
Prior to the use Of the Cooley system he
had made butter in an ordinary spring,
set in common pans.
The quality Of the butter is considered
fully up TO the old standard, and his com
mission man has written to him that he
was glad he had made the change.
Mr.. Reynolds churns his milk sour, aud
now twice each week, and thinks that he
gets one-third more cream than by the old
method of setting. A number Of ques-
tions we're asked Mr.. Reynolds in relation
to the working Of this system, to which he
gave full and intelligent answers, to the
satisfaction Of the club, and highly com.
mandatory to the success Of the system.
Thomas Gawthrop read written report
in relation to the amount Of ice required
to raise the cream on given quantity of
milk.
IB pursuance of the wish of the club
expressed at last meeting we have endeav-
ored to make some experiments with the
Cooley refrigerator to form an approximate
idea Of the amount Of ice that would be
consumed to raise the cream on q given
amount Of milk, with the following result
February 2 set two cans, containing %
quarts, at Z o'clock, p. NJ, having the
creamer in milk room, at a Temperature
Of 65 degrees, where it had stood with the
lid raised for four hours previous to the
trial. Submerged the cans, with water at
80 degrees temperature, and added ten
pounds Of ice, which in one hour reduced
the temperature to 4S degrees; then added
six pounds more Of ice, and at the lapse Of
one and half hours found the degree o.
heat to measure 45 degrees in the mass
which We think (the cream being nearly
all up would have been amply suficien
to have finished the operation, as ther,
was small quantity of ice still remaining
but added four more pounds of ice, AM
found eight hours after that the water wa
still at As degrees. Drew of the milk an,
reset 10 same water at so degrees, and il
all subsequent trials found fifteen pound
Of ice amply sufficient to completely finisl
, the raising Of the cream on twenty-fiv
quarts Of milk. The separation Of th
! cream from the milk iu our several trial
was so complete that after standing thirty
{ six hours under the most favorable condi
tions, there was hardly scum over th
, top sufficient to be recognized as such.

The Peanut Trade.

A quarter Of century ago peanuts
were obtained chiefly from Africa. Now
the African nuts are sent to Marseilles
and used for making olive oil, which is
sent TO America as the genuine article.
In those days nuts were grown in America
only in small quantities, chiefly by the
negroes of Virginia, North Carolina aud
Tennessee, and were sold by them TO oh.
tain spending money. Now the immense
production of American peanuts, together
with their superior quality, has driven
the African nuts from the market. The
best nuts come from Virginia. A few
years ago scarcely any but Wilmington
nuts were sold, now there is scarcely any
call for them. Tennessee is also source
Of supply, but none are received here
from that State, as the raisers eau get bet
ter price for them at Nashville. These
nuts are not as expensive as those raised
in Virginia, and are not ms bright, but
they are richer, and many prefer them
Some nuts also como here from the West
Indies, Curacao being the chief source of
supply. rive years ago the peanut crop
Of Tennessee was not far from 10000
bushels, that of North Carolina 60, 900, and
that Of Virginia 225,O0O. The estimated
crop for the present season Is as follows -
Tennessee, 1000 bushels; North Caro-
lima, 10000; Virginia, l,O00,0OO The
street yenders usually buy from one to
five sacks alta time aud sometimes as high
as from ten to twenty sacks. A sack con
tains four bushels, or 12S quarts Of pea
nuts, and is sold at from 81 to Sl.10 per
busbel, SO that at tho latter price the sack
costs the dealer s4.40. In retailing the
dealer calculates to make forty quarts out
Of every bushel IN the sack, as they use
