4 New England Apple Orchard.

Mr.. Prescott Williams, of Williams
burg, Mass, is the owner of an inn
mense apple orchard, probably the
largest in the New England States.
The orchard was set out nearly twenty
years ago, and has been in bearing for
many years, although the present crop
is the largest ever grown. Mr.. Will
liams estimates the crop at $500 bar
rels. Three hundred and sixty-two
trees. it is estimated, will yield six
barrels of apples each. of which three
hundred are Baldwins, sixteen
Northern Spys, sixteen Hubbardston' s
Nonesuch. ten Rhode Island Green
ings, ten Lady Sweetings, six Con-
gress and four Roxbury Russets, max
ing total of 2,172 barrels. Hundreds
Of trees will yield one, two or three
barrels, but these are not included in
the count. A number of trees will
give fifteen barrels and others eight or
ten barrels of apples each. The
orchard occupies a rocky slope of COM
mon New England farming land.
When Mr.. Williams began setting and
budding trees many years ago the old
farmers lauSned at MIN, out nc perse-
vered in his plan and for long time
has expended more money in dressing
for his trees than the average farmer
clears for his entire farm. The orchard
at present is a magnificent sight. the
apples large, fair and of brilliant
color; the yield is probably the largest
for the area in the history of New Eng
land. The trees are propped to keep
the limbs from breaking off, and the
trees are free from worms, being pro-
tected by troughs of Kerosene oil about
the trunks. A large force of men will
begin picking Oct. 1.-B0ston Post.

Boxwood' and Its Uses.

The lockwood of commerce is a tree
of considerable size, attaining to
height of 80 feet. It is native of the
islands of the Mediterranean, and
grows in Turkey, Asia Minor and
around the shores of the Black Sea.
The wood possesses delicate yellow
color, is very dense in structure and has
a fine uniform grain, which you will
find that Piso's Cure cures cough
much quicker than any other medicine,
and yet does not dry it up.
gives it unique value for the purposes of
the wood engraver. In addition to the
ever-increasing demand for the wood
by engravers, very large amount is
used in the manufacture of measuring
rules, various mathematical instru-
ments, flutes and other musical instru-
ments, as we'll as for turning into many
minor articles, aud for inlaying, and is
favorite wood for small carvings.
The use of lockwood for turnery and
musical instruments, is mentioned by
Pl,ny, Virgil and Ovid. The quantity
of the wood which passes out from
Constantinople yearly is estimated at
from 5000 to 1000 tons, with about
1900 tons more of inferior and small
pieces. While the consumption is con-
tinually increasing, the present sources
of supply are rapidly becoming exhaust
ed, the forests near the sea are denud-
ed of their best trees, and access to the
wood growing in the interior of the
countries around the Black Sea is diff
cult owing to the want Of means of in
ternal communication. The subse-
quent increase of the cost of lockwood
has led to frequent attempts to discov-
er other woods for the purpose of the
wood engraver, but none of the numer-
erous substitutes proposed have hither-
to been found to possess the necessary
combination of properties.

American dentists are too numerous
in Paris for their own advantage, judge
ing from the following: The other day
a recently established dentist brought
complaint in court against his servant
for having left him suddenly without
giving notice. The servant justified
his conduct by explaining that all the
while he was in the doctors house not
single patient made his appearance,
while he was obliged to sit near the
window and scream by the hour, to
make people believe that teeth were
being pulled inside by wholesale. The
court acquitted the servant.
