STRAWBERRY Cnltnre... Wealthy Ample.

A correspondent in Braintree says, 81 see
in various papers extracts from articles
written by you on strawberry culture, and
think if you would publish them in the
paper of which you are agricultural editor
it would reach as many as it does now"
In reply, we would say that the substance
of the articles referred to appeared in these
columns about two years ago. Perhaps be-
fore long we may refer particularly to the
point of the commercial growing of straw
berries in Vermont for the supply of more
southern markets with late berries. The
matter is now under test in the vicinity of
Newport, and if the express company gives
(as it has promised) living rate of trans
portation 10 the growers, it may be sue
cess and add needed money crop to the
list of Vermont products. The results can
not be known for a year or two, but we
hope to keep our readers posted on the pro-
gress of the experiment. The same writer
wants to know how the Wealthy apple
proves as a keeper. To this we are glad to
be able to answer firstrate." Ours kept
nicely to the middle of March, when the
last specimens were given away. Mr.. R.
w. Shepherd, Jr., of Montreal and Aaron
Webster of East Roxbury both report them
as keeping in perfect order until April LIST.
In addition, we will say that in early and
profuse bearing it seems the only equal we
have to the Duchess of Oldenburgh. We
feel sure that we have at last, in the
Wealthy, first-class apple for home use and
market, the equal of the Baldwin in every
respect, and perfectly "iron-clad in hardi-
ness. We have now five hundred of them in
orchard, and all our earlier settings are full
of bloom at this time, May 81.

An Enemy to the Apple.

d. T. Averill of Mortified writes "A
friend states that he has an apple tree that
usually blossoms fairly and the apples set
WE'LL but when balf-grown some kind of a
worm attacks them by eating around under
to skin and through them, causing all, Or
nearly all, to drop off at that stage" and
wishes to know the name of the worm and a
remedy. We think the worm is the larva
of the apple curculio. 1t is found in many
orchards, and often does as much or more
injury as the larva of the Goblin moth. I'm
fortunately we know of no remedy, unless
jarring, as practiced with the plum cur
culio, would be effective. 1t is rarely so
destructive as in the case named. Perhaps
coping large brood of early chickens I'M
der the tree might reduce the number of the
enemy.

The Rural New Yorker.

The Rural New Yorker of May Goth has
fully-illustrated article on the oleomargar.
inc manufacture which will very much in
terest its dairying readers. The Rural is
emphaticaly a live paper, and a live farmers
paper, too, in all the term implies,-which
to us includes great deal that is given the
cold shoulder by most agricultural journals.
The Rural seemed good enough year ago,
but it is fifty per cent better this year. We
have not heretofore praised the Rural as we
felt it to deserve, because of our own rela-
tions with it as contributor. Now we
have said just what we think, and if any
body desires to attribute it to any but an
honest motive to do justice to the best agri-
cultural and domestic paper in the world,
why, let them.

A Word to Young Men.

Tell me a young man drinks and know all
the rest. Let him become captive of the wine
cup, and he is captive of all other vices. No
man ever runs drunkenness alone. That is
one of the carrion crows that goes in flock.
If that beak is ahead, you may know the
other beaks follow. In other words strong
drink unbalances and dethrones, and makes
him the prey of all the appetites that choose
to alight upon his soul. There is not a
piece of sin upon this continent but finds its
chief abettor in the places of inebriety.
There is drinking-place before it, or be-
hind it, or bar over it, or bar under it.
The officer said to me that night, " You see
how they escape legal penalty; they are Ii
censed 10 sell liquor" Then l thought
within myself, the court which licenses the
sale of intoxicating liquors, licenses gaming
houses, licenses libertinsm, licenses diseases,
licenses death, licenses all crimes, all suffer,
ings, all disaster, all woes 1t is the legisla-
ture and courts who swing wide open this
grinding, roaring, stupendous gate OF the
lost 1,aimaqe.

A Jersey Herd Book with No
Ripgv in IL,

A good many people complain, with how
much justice we cannot say, that the Amer
lean Jersey Cattle Clubs Herd Book is a
very exclusive affair, the club being regarded
as sort of mutual benefit ring of the spec
ulative breeders and fancy farmers. To
such the information may be acceptable that
the Herd Book of the Maine State Pure
Blood Jersey Cattle association is open to all
parties on just and equal terms. We be-
lieve the stock recorded in this work to be
equal to any in America, and we recommend
our readers who are breeding pure Jerseys
and do not fiud the courtesy and fairness
they have right to expect from the Amer
lean Club to correspond with the secretary
of the Maine Association, N. r. Pike Of
Winthrop, in that state.

Names New Liquor Law.

Maine has at last got liquor law to evade
which will require the utmost ingenuity OF
the wine sellers and the wine bibbers. Thus
far a loophole of some sort has always been
found in the statutes framed on the subject
When the ordinary liquor saloon was com
PEELED to put up its shutters the private club
came into existence, and when payment for
liquor was prohibited the dispenser of the
beverage found way OF giving it away
and at the same time reaping the usual mer.
camille profit. Under the new law all these
tricks aud evasions will come to naught
Club houses and all similar contrivances are
to be declared nuisances and suppressed
upon sight. Giving liquor away is to be
remorseessly punished. A person found in.
toxicated, either on the streets or in his own
house, shall be sent to Jail for thirty days
and if he undertakes to do the thing sec.
ond time he will be given vacation and an
to reform for term three times
as long. Maine seems to be in earnest this
time.-NeW York Herald.

No Party In Beer Politics.

The Public Leader, Detroit, organ of the
after hearing of the passage
of the joint resolution for constitutional
amendment in Iowa, thus declares its inten-
tons At the polls, this coming Novem-
Der, the prohibition party must be beaten,
no matter what party in politics suffers.
There will be Republican prohibitionists,
Democratic prohibitionists and Greenback
prohibitionists, and these men must be
fought by the members of the trade where
ever they show themselves. In national pol
itics men can afford to follow their parties,
but in state and county elections the trade
ought to be in possession of the views Of
every candidate, and support only those
which are sound, and who will pledge them
selves not to favor further sumptuary and
restrictive legislation"

Appeal by the Clergy.

A temperance appeal by English clergy
men has been forwarded to the archbishops
and bishops of the established church. Its
signed by fourteen thousand ministers. The
petition says We, the undersigned clergy
of England, venture respectfully to appeal
to your lordships, as the only members of
our order in parliament, as such, most ear
nestly to support measures for the further
restriction of the trade in intoxicating
liquors in this country. We are convinced,
most OF us from an intimacy with the peo-
pie extending through many years, that their
condition can never be greatly improved,
whether intellectually, physically, or reli-
giously, as long as intemperance prevails
among them, and that intemperance will
prevail so long as temptations to it abound
on every side"

THERE is a forward movement all along
the line among intelligent and refined men
aud women for higher and nobler manhood
and womanhood, and the young men and
women of to-day are learning TO shun the
vices Of few years ago. There is no reason

be drunken loafer, while there is every
reason why every person should make the
world better for having lived in 1t.

FROM LEADyILLE.- A party of five young men arrived here this morning, direct from Leadville, where they have been engaged in mining. They were g days on the Say, coming with their own wagon by Way of Santa Fe ard Fort WIngate. They repre- sent business Uf all kinds ba.l.y oVerdone al Leadyille and ihe mining force Is being re- duced in all the mines. They are all ex- perieucei miners ana are looking for em- pl1yment. Their names are Arthur Stout, F. J Chatelle. ]. W. Malloy, Samuel Gun nInghAm and Peter Bayse. All except Gun ningham were formerly lead miners at Jop- lin. Missouri. They saw the corps of rail- road surveyors on ihe Little Colorado, but did not come by Albuquerque, consequently did not see the graders, and being strangers and unacquainted with the country did not learn how far they had progressed.
 Now that the building of the 3Jlh parsl- lel route is fact beyond question, We think that the settling of lands along the line oi she survey by our citizens would Oe most wise and evidently result in great benefits + would cost comparatively little to secure prize and now is the proper time to ict. There are very many desirable um5er and agricultural claims n Northern AriZ ma, immediately on or near the line of the road that might, just ss well. fall into the hands of persons who have extended ready hand in he development and settlement or this section of Arizona. as to be acquired by those who follow railroads and go-sle up everything desirable. without baylrg ac- qured any considerable cain or nght to do 50.
