The Apple.

The apple belongs to the natural
family Rosaca. Its origin is I'M
known. We often hear the apple
spoken of as the forbidden fruit, but
there is no scriptural authority for that
assumption. Perhaps the notion arose
in very natural desire to justify our
first parents, for who could e. satly
blame them for not resisting the temp
tation to sample an apple? The apple
is several times mentioned in the Bible.
Because of this mention it is supposed
to be a native of Palestine. Doubtless
there it originated and by cultivation
grew into lusciousness. Yet at the
present day it is worthless as fruit IN
Canaan and the surrounding countries,
and is brought into Egypt and Pales-
tine from Damascus. The apple Of
Scripture must have been palatable
fruit, for it is mentioned along with
other luscious fruits but some say
that the apple of the Bible was any
fruit that emitted a fragrant odor. The
apples tina: we now so much enjoy are
not supposed to have come from the
apples of ancient Palestine. They are
supposed to have ali originated from
the wild crab of Europe. This wild
crab was as sour as sour could be.
Pliny says the wild crab had "many a
foul and shrewd curse given it" on &C
count Of its sourness. The same author
says twenty-five distinct varieties were
known to the Romans. Now the va
rieties are legion. Our varieties were
brought from Europe, and did not
pring from the American crab apple.
The apple has become a widespread
fruit; it is more universally grown and
its uses better known than any other
fruit. 1t is q long-lived tree--trees two
hundred years old being known to be
still hardy and productive. The apples
of this country are far superior to any
other. Queen Victoria buys and eats
apples from "the states"
| As in the case of the potato, new va
rieties are derived from seeds. One
variety in ten thousand is worth prop
agatng There is no permsnency Of
varieties when the seeds are planted;
varieties must be perpetuated by graft
ing, budding, layering, or by cuttings.
Who has not heard of the apples Of
Sodom? Josephus declares that the
fruit, when plucked, is dissolved into
smoke and ashes. Josephus was too
credible an historian to be entirely
mistaken about such matter, yet at
this time no one can say just what the
apples of Sodom are, and whether they
exist at all to day. The better opinion
seems to be that they are the fruit of a
nightshade which grows about the Dead
Sea, and which very often contains
dust. If this be true, the apple of
Sodom is near relative of the tomato
and potato, but no botanical relative of
the apple. 1t is better that the apple
should belong to the same family as
the roses, and not be botanically akin
to the Magistrates.
Who would not sing the praises Of
the apple? 1t now giows and glistens
in ten thousand orchards. 1t is wait

Pork and Health,

1t is possible to eat pork very moder-
ately without SERIOUS results, but its
general use is sure to beget scrofula,
rheumatism, and consumption. Show
us a class OF people who eat pork large
" end steadily and we will show you a
class among whom you will find the
majority Of consum ptives. The less all
eat of it the better, for it Is poor sub
stitute tor wholesome food. The corn
and other cereals are mich better eaten
by mankind before the hogs eats them.
1t does not improve them to convert
them into pork.
So says the Orange County Farmer,
] the hveliest and most successful local
paper in our exchange list. We want
to take some exceptions to the above
anathema. 1t is fashionable now to
decry against pork, and it is natural for
us 10 tall IN with the current. Is il
true that the general use of pork begets
rheumatism, scrofula and consumption
Is it not the staple meat of farmers
throughout the great corn and pork
producing Statesf Do these three di-
seases prevail among them more than
among city people VINO eat more beef
than anything in the way of meat? AS
Col. Ingersoll says, honor bright u
now. There is pork and pork. In
other words, healthy pork and diseased
pork. II we can credit the assertions
and evidence of Investigators who have
been looking closely into the subject, a
very small per cent. of American pork
is unwholsome food, from parasites or
disease, as alleged in foreign countries.

Poultry Houses.

Various plans are adopted by poultry
keepers to protect their fowls from the
inclemency of the winter weather. In
erecting fowl houses, be careful that
they are not foul houses, as most of the
arrangements are. A. B. Allen says IF
| it is desired to increase the warmth of
the house in winter sliding windows
four or five feet high and as wide as one
pleases, may be set into the south side
of the house. Put wire netting against
these, so the hens cannot Jump or fly
against the glass to break it. These may
| be removed during warm weather, and
solid or blind doors hung in their place
| to keep ont the SUI in hot days. If one
resides where there is no danger from
thieves or vcrmin, the whole south side
of the poultry house may be left open.
In this case it would be so well ven
tilated that the posts need not be over
seven feet, and the roof not carried up
so high; but the ventilator should still
be put or the center of the roof ana a
window and blind at each gable end.
For the perches use inch thick Stats
two to four inches broad, so that the
hens can sit comfortably on them.
Small round poles for perches are very
trying to their legs, as they are obliged
to cling close to these with their claws,
and this tires and strains them during
the whole time they are at roost. Don't
set these perches like steps, one a little
beyond and higher than the other, II
YOU do the hens will be constantly fight
ing and struggling to obtain the top
one. Set all at the same height, and so
distant from each other that the hens
on one perch cannot reach to peck
those on the other. AS soon as they get
on to their roosh All seem to delight IN
| this torment.

Black Squirrels on the March
Binghamton [N. y Republican

Gray squirrels are very plenty in the
Lackawaxen woods, and good hunter
can kill back load in four or five
hours. Black squirrels are very scarce,
and but few are to be seen. They are
travelling toward the east, and strike
nearly bee line. They cross the canal
and river above the Westfall church
then they have nearly an unbroken
wilderness through to the Delaware
There is one thing singular about them
they turn neither to the right nor
left, but plunge through ponds, rivers
and swamps, or whatever else lies in
their path.
