Two Esceilcnf Apples

The American Golden Russet Is
an apple of the very highest merit
Tor home use as a dessert fruit. 1t
has delightfully."- agreeable flavor
and so fine a texture that the most
delicate stomach, unable to digest
easily the coarse market sort of APP
pies, can eat it freely. The tree has
an erect form, large leaves. quite
well adapted for lawn planting: it
begins TO bear when quite Young,
bears annually and carries its fruit
inteIioriiy on the older wood so that
the branches are not bent out of
place or the tree disfigured bv it.
Like other Russets this requires to
be stored in rather damp cellar or
in close box of wood or tin which
viii retain moisture about the fruit.
Otherwise the apples will shrivel,
the contained water escaping through
the open rind and the fine aroma of
the fruit with it. Another apple of
the san., season--early Winter-of
entirely different character but
equally fEc in its way, is the
Smokehouse. II is the finest ha-
vored and textured stewing apple,
and very fine for dessert, but so su-
perior N sauce ;hat all who have
ever tasted it want regular supply.
1t is snsrce excepting it is so well
known latcustomers insist upon be-
ing SUP lied. Nurserymen have trou-
bic witn it because OF its leaning and
yielding habit Of growth. which
makes IS difficult to grow tree up
right enough and tail enough for
orchard planting. 1t carries this
habit to the orchard, and aggravates
it by the further habit of forming
its fruit buds at the end of the
young growth. which, naturally
weak, OF course bends low with the
weight Of the heavy fruit. This
sort is of the old Vandevere type, /
and shows it bv its extra culinary |
merit, and by the terminal fruit
buds, on each side Of which a pair
of new shoots issue, one on each /
side Of the terminal blossom, SO that /
all the young growth shows usually /
an even bifurcation. The fruit has I
a bright, well vanished rind, and /
not at al rimous as the Russet, and
keeps pulmp and perfect on open
shelves. - Peansylr1ui,i

The First Caif.

IL is often the case when n heif.
er has her first calf that the farmer
thinks she viii not give more milk
than win keep her calf in good con-
dition and lets them run together to
teach her the mystery of being milk
ed when she has her next calf. In
this decision there are two mistakes
that go far TO spoil the COW for fu-
ture usefulness. Cows are largc'v
the creatures of habit--and WI "A
their first calf everything is new
and strange to them, and they read :
lily submit to be MIXED, and think
it is all right; but suffer them to run
with the calf the first season, and a
vicious habit is established that they
will hardly forget in lifetime. If
they ever submit to be MIXED qui-
city. it is evidently under protest.
But there is greater objection than
this. The calf running with the
COW draws the milk ever hour or
two, SO that the milk vessels are at
no time distended with milk. though
the quantity secretedin given time
may be large. But this is the natu-
raj time to distend the milk ducts
and expand the udder to a good ca
pacity for holding milk. When with
her next calf, you require the milk
to be retained twelve hours the I'D
der becomes hard, painful and the
milk leaks from the teats. or more
like, nature accommodates the guam
,ity OF the milk secreted to the ca
pacity To retain if, and the COW be-
comes permanently a small milker.
Much of the future character al i
'''w. Therefore. depends on her treat

Smail-Pox in Richmond.

RIcHMoND. Va, Jan. 10. 9.-The
town authorities or Reidsviiie, n. c.,
having notified the Mayor of Rich
mond that Il quarantine ordinance
has been adopted against this city
on account OF the prevalence of
smallpox, the later has responded
in a letter, in which he say- the ex-
tent of the disease in Ricnmonl i
not such as to Justify alarm. There
are only fifteen cases in the city,
about one to each 5.000inhahitants.
and II cases in hospital out of the
city, most of which are convalescent.
The Mayor saws, from his knowledge
of the general existence of the dis
ease in various sections. and from
the cautions and preventatives taken
here, he considers that the disease
exists in mild form in Richmond.
and to less extent than in other
cities that the city is safe to visit or
reside in. and that the people are in
fine health and spirits. The report
recently published that nine,y new
cases of smallpox were reported in
one day of last week in Richmond is
wholly untrue. The truth is that
as stated in Mayor Carrinton's letter
and as reported the beard of health
there are only Sc cases all told, in
the city and hospital, and the larg-
est number of new cases reported in
one day is six.
