HOUSE AND FARM.
r-uits for the Northwest,

L. D., Bismarck, Dak.--What varieties
Of apples would be likely to do best in
the neighborhood of Iron Mountain for
an orchard of 400 trees for family use
and market? How many summer, fall,
and winter apples should there be?
What, also, would be the most desirable
cherries, plums, pears, strawberries.
currants. and raspberries?
Ash OF knowing the location of
Iron Mountain" we assume it to be in
Dakota, near Bismarck. There is prob
ably little or no experience with fruits
in that region; hence we are guided
mainly by the recommendations offruit-
growers in the similar climate of Minne-
sofa, especially 80 far Is applesare con-
cerned. Selecting from their list of last
year, we name: For summer, 50 Tetof-
ski; for Autumn, so Duchesse of Olden-
burg; for early Winter, $50 Wealthy;
for late Winter, $50 Minnesota. The
success of pears in that climate, we re-
gard as quite doubtful-Osband's Sum-
mer, Flemish Beauty, Sheldon, and
Beurre d'Anjou are as likely to succeed
as any others. If any plums will stand
Dakota Winters, they are likely to be
such natives as Miner, Weaver, or 9TH
ers of northern parentage. Cherries,
none but Morellos-Early Richmond,
English Morello, or Late Morello are
hardy and good. Currants, Red Dutch,
White Grape, Cherry ard Victoria:
Raspberries, Black-Caps only-Souhe.

A young journalist who received bis
early professional training on the New
York Sun, related an incident of his ex-
perience with Charles A Dana. The
young man had been sent out to inter.
view q prominent democrat upon the
political situation, and stumbled across
a radical republican, from whom he
also secured an interview, which
he placed upon the mana
ging editors desk. AS the opinions ex-
pressed by the republican we're wholly
at variance with the platform of the
Sun, the managing editor put a decided
damper Upon the enterprise of the
youthful reporter, and MI. Dana hap
pening to overhear the conversation, adj
dressed the innocent scribe:
Haven't you been here long enough
yet :!T to know ansI the policy Of this papsr?"

you must know that most of our read
ers can't stand the full light of the orb
of day, and we have to give them only
such light as is reflected by the moon"
"Oh, you want me- to give them moon
shine, do you, sir?" coolly retorted the
unabashed knight of the quill.
Mr.. Dana turned upon his heel with.
out a word, q smile lurking about his
lips, and left the room. Two days after

The Sunfiower as an Industrial Plant.
1t may not be generally known that
the sunfower (Helianthus annuus),
which has lately been brought into such
notoriety by the aesthetic" school, has
considerable claims to attention from an
industrial point of view. Its somewhat
nut-like seeds-or. as Baron Ferdinand
Won Muller describes them, "seed-like
nutlets"-afford an excellent oil, which
is not only useful as a lubricant for
machinery, but is one of the best of
table oils. The seeds, again, afford a l.
mirable food for poultry, the stocks
furnish u good textile fibre, and the
blossoms yield a brilliant. lasting yellow
dye. So highly does Baron Won Muller
think of the virtues of the plant that he
includes it in his list of selected plants
suitable for administration and indus
trial cultivation in the colony of Victoria.
AS much as fifty. bushels Of seedlings
have been obtained from an acre Of
ground, under favorable conditions, and
as much as fifty gallons of oil can be
pressed from such a crop. When he
states that about six pounds of seeds are
required to SOW an acre, from which
such an enormous return is possible, il
is scarcely surprising to be told that
t h return from a sunf1ewer field is
attained within a few months" The
plants, the same authority states, prefer
calcareous soil. Baron Won Muller,
however, has not by any means ex-
hausted the list of virtues which the
plant possesses. The Chinese, who
have SO far appreciated its properties as
to use its fibre in a~dulterating and dye
Ing their silk fabrics, and its oil not on
ly as a lubricant but as an illuminant,
state that its flowers supply the best
bee food, and that the "cake" left after
expressing the oil is superior to linseed
cake as a food for cattle. The leaves
are also employed as a substitute for or
for mixing with tobacco, and as an ingre-
dent in soap manufacture the oil is
highly priced.

Training of Daughters.

Do mothers of this country ever re-
feet upon the degree of responsibility
that rests upon them in the moral train
ing of their daughters? The columns OF
the daily journals recording the down
fall of girls ought to awaken parents to a
serious consideration of their duties.
The father is not without his share Of
this responsibility. but it is to the moth.
er more particularly that the daughter
should turn at the most dangerous pc
riod of her life, for counsel: The rela-
tons between mother and daughter are
more closely in sympathy with regard
to those matters of moment to the fe-
male mind than those between father
and daughter; or, at least, they should
be, and are, where the mother is awake
to the full measure of her duty. 1t is 80
easy for the mother to possess the entire
confidence Of her daughter, and as the
sharer of those tender secrets which en-
ter into the lives of young women to
guide and direct her Alright.

Domestic Economy.

There is much more roomlfor choice in
the administrationsof even a small in
come than one is apt to believe at first
thought. 1t is not the righteousness of
wealth that is enviable, but the broader
and more various outlets and inlets
which it offers for life. Every income
may be studied with reference to
these possibilities and the result will
often be surprising. An hours serious
consideration of 80 serious a subject as
the uses of money, with last years ex-
pense book beside her, aad pencil and
note book in hand, would, perhaps, sug-
gest to almost every house mother some
portion of her economy in which she
might wisely turn over a new leaf, 1t
she has not a well-kept account book to
refer to, that is the first leaf to turn.
Comfort end elegance in dress, table
service, furniture, equipages-all the
surroundings of our lives-these are
good and desirable when they do not
involve the sacrifice of anything
important; but it is we'll to remember
that they are not to be the chief objects
of life, nor the ends for the attainment
of which homes are ordained. If we do
not desire for our children better things
than these, il We do not assume for them
higher responsibilities, we are promo
ting that dangerous tendency toward an
exaggerated respect for wealth, and a
corresponding depreciation of character
which is the growing peril of our nation
and our time. As American mothers,
let us, while considering the division of
time and the apportionment of income,
not forget in the maintenance of health
and comfort in our households, the
equally important claims of intellectual
life. religion, social development, human
helpfulness, and the high ideals OF a
pure pursuit of truth and beauty.-D.

The Hop Crop in England.

The reports from England indicate .

blight, they have entirely revived, and

hop plant is said to be unparalleled. A
correspondent at Rob%ertsbridge says:
"If the present weather continues, they
will grow in that district one of the best
crops on recold." Reports from all parts
of the country are similar to the above,
and. unless some unforeseen enemy APP
pears, the hop crop of England in 1883
will far exceed the highest average. 1t
is quite likely that our hop growers will
be compelled to accept a rather low

On the 7th of November, 1887, at the
hour of evening prayers, we were startled
by a heavy thud and sudden jar of the
earth. The sound was like the fall of some
vast body upon the beach, and in few sec-
onds the noise Of mingled voices rising for
a mile along the shore thrilled us like the
wall of doom. Instantly this was followed
by a like vail from all the native houses
around us. immediate y ran down to the

than fifteen OF twenty feet above high water
into indiscriminate ruin. Houses, furni-
ture, fuel, timber, canoes, food, clothing,
everything doated wild upon the food.

Eggs With Dark Co1ored Shells.

The old idea that hens eggs with dark
colored shells are richer and better than
those with light, is again revived; and
several of our agricultural contempora-
ries are discussing the subject with con
siderable ~earnestness. A New England
paper informs us that the dark shell
Brahma eggs command six to :ten cents
a dozen in Boston market more than
any Of the light colored varieties, while
a newspaper in Maine tells us that the
eggs of the Plymouth Rocks are much
richer than those ofthe brown Leghorns,
or any others with white shells. While
this may be true, it looks to us very
much as though the breeders of>certain
varieties of our domestic fowls had taken
this way to push their favorites to tho
front. We certainly believe that there
is a difference in the flavor of eggs of the
different breeds, but do not think the
color of the shell has anything to do
with it. As a rule, the larger the egg
the stronger the fla yor, and this may We

A bushel of grapes can be raised as

Captain John B. Moore, of Concord,

The oldest asparagus plants can be set
out this fall, but we have always prac-

plants in the spring. One year old
plants will grow, but it is easier to tend
the pants as seedlings till two or three
years old before setting, than it is to
transplant small ones and lose half of
them, and have them reset. Asparagus
once set is perennial, and it pays to be
thorough in setting it. The only way
to hurry up the crop is by manure and
deep cultivation previous to setting. Set
in sandy loan; where it can be over
flowed annually by fresh or salt water,
it does the best. We set In rows 2 l-2
