Strawberries, Blueberries, Huckleberries.

Mr. W. u. Philbrck, market gardener
OF Massachusetts, says, speaking OF straw
berries, that "the Charles Downing does
we'll on almost any soil, and is almost the
only good berry of which this is true. 1t
is, on the whole, the most popular kind
now Wen known and tested, and is very
fast taking the place of the formerly al
most universal Wilson" of huckleberry
possibilities he holds these views, as re-
ported by the NeW.England Farmer.
at is rather strange that among all
the enterprising gardeners of our time al
most no attention has been given to the
blueberry and whottleberry. Indeed, SO
long us our markets are abundantly sup
piled with cheap wild fruit, there is little
inducement in this direction. Our high
bush swamp blueberry, however, is no.
bic fruit, and has to some extent been
cultivated 10y transplanting the wild
bushes. Why cannot Improvement be
made here by raising seedlings, us has
been done with the straw berry? just
imagine what sight it would be to have
a high bush blueberlN laden with fruit Of
the size Of Charles Downing strawberry T?
Yet he would be a bold man who would
say this is impossible and even improba-

The Baldwin Apple.

In an article on the cultivation of ap-
pie trees in the Home Farm, Mr.. Joseph
Taylor, of Belgrade, an experienced Or
chardist, in speaking of the Baldwin says:
"About sixty or siXty-five years ago,
the Baldwin apple was first introduced
into the State of Maine, by the late John
Pitts, esq.,, who came from Massachusetts
and figured largely in farming in Belgrade
for quite a number of years. He brought
some sci0ns, | think, from the parent
tree, or from a tree near its paternity; a
part Of these scions he gave to my father
which were grated into trees now stand
ing on my farm, which was once part
of my fathers farm. These trees, as |
have said, are still standing and bearing
some apples every year, but more every
alternate wear. now have in mind three
trees grated to BaldWins at the time
have alluded to, which stand i'll a row
with three other trees which were grated
the same spring to RoAbury Russets.
These six trees are about all in the same
condition as to healthincSs, all having
Welded in measure to the intirmities of
age But now III regard to difference in
productiveness and profit OF the two va
rieties of apples, think can safely say
that yearly, for nearly sixty years, the
Baldwins have exceeded the Russets in
value Of production more than fourfold.
There is Baldwin tree now standing by
the side of the highway within forty rods
of my house, grated in three branches
when young, by my father between fifty
and sixty years ago, which | think ! may
sa'eIy say has yielded on an average year
ly, twelve bushels for fifty years. 1t has
borne more or less every year since it be
gan to bear. one year, about thirty
years ago, while i'll the prime and strength
of its fruit bearing capacity, there were
forty bushels picked from it; and last sea-
son, 1850, at about the siXtieth year Of its
age, it yielded twenty bushels Of good
Baldwins, so says its present owner"

If it is desired to have buildings look
white and remain white, zinc white
should be used for paint instead Of white
lead. The zinc cost a tritie more per
pound. but it goes further, will never pow
der up and rub off, and if properly put on
will last longer and look whittier than the
best white lead that was ever made. 1t
hasplenty of "body" if it is not mixed too
thin, and should be well rubbed Oh when
it is spread. If zinc was used exclusively
we should not see so many dingy, dusty

TAKE OFF TEE SPROUTS.

There seems to be a great diversity OF
opinion relative to whether sprouts on the
body of an orange tree should be removed
or left to grow during the summer to pro.
tect the trunk from the heat of the sun.
Many who prune the tree 30 as to low
the head to form three or even four feet
from the ground make practice of allow.
ing all shoots coming from the trunk to
grow during the summer to protect the
trees, especially when young, from the
cold, taking them off in the spring only to
allow another crop to grow.
Last winter our little lemon orchard was
somewhat hurt from the frost. In the
spring advice was freely given to let the
sprouts grow, not only as protection to
the trees, but to induce growth. and thus
get the trees into vigorous growing eondi-
tion again after the apparent check by the
cold. Against our Judgment we followed
this advice, but as a matter Of experiment
the sprouts were moved from hall dozen
average trees. To-day those trees sprouted
have sent vigorous growth into the top,
while those MT sproutea have a vigorous
growth of sprouts but little growth q
heads.
Ii the tree has healthy growth its
trunk needs no protection from the sun
it is the stunted tree that needs protection,
and then it is better to use shakes or boards
than to turn the vital force of the tree into
growth that is to be sacrificed at the ex-
pense Of the growth OF the top, which ia to
be permanent. Those sprouts will now
come off of those trees we want no more
experiments in that line: those who want
to follow that practice longer can do 80,
but in the future we shall adhere as closely
as practicable to the rule to remove all
superfuous growth in its infancy. Thumb
pruning, SO far as it can be carried, is much
preferable to using the saw and pruning
shears. Il Press and Horticultural.

FORTY ONE DAYS UNDER A STRAW STACK
On the 10Th of February last A. D B,ubaker
of Massanutton, had straw stack blown down
in field where his cattle were running He did
not miss any~ef his cattle till last Sunday, the
27th/f march. On that day he was out looking
at them and discovered that one of his heifers
was missing. 1t at once occurred to him that
the straw had fallen on her and that of course
she was dead. Going to the straw stack, the
heifer probably hearing his steps as he drew
near he hearda low moan or low, and on pull
ing the straw away found the heifer not far
from the surface. She was lying down and had
eaten the straw all about her, sliding along as
the straw disappeared from her front. Mr. B
thinks she would soon have eaten her way. out.
Ofcourse, being confined in this way for Al
days, she was mere skeleton, though Mr.. B.
thinks she will live. Her fore legs from being
doubled up under her so long, are very much
crooked and out of shape.-Pqge Courier.
