Having seen items in some of the pa
pers of the territory in regard to the
destruction of the apple crop by blight,
and also that large numbers of apple
trees were dying, we took Il trip Mon
day to the extensive Alderman fruit
farm two and one-half miles from
Hurley, to ascertain how serious the
damage was. The proprietors inform
ed us that the only symptom Of blight
among their 5000 orchard trees, was
in the southwest corner of their orch
ard where the fruit trees were protected
| by q 7Cind break, and where there was
no circulation of air among them.
There were few trees dying, but the
Wealthy, Duchess of Oldenburgh, and
! Whitney No. 90 were all right and
hardy. We were shown trees of these
varieties, some of which were not more
than an inch through, which Were
loaded with fruit. The Aldermans
have spent 4 great deal of time and
money in experiments on fruit culture
and as result they know just what
varieties are hardy, and as to protec
ton say, "never protect your apple trees
with anything but another row OF
apple trees.

We notice several of our territorial
exchanges are publishing the pro-
spectus of the "Police Gazette If the
editors must read the Gazette" one
would suppose they would prefer
quietly subscribing and paying for it
outright, rather than to degrade the
columns of a family newspaper to
procure lt.-Ddkot0 Haronite.
Correct Mr.. Huronite; and there is
another class of advertisements which
the newspapers should "set down" up
on. We refer to those which promise
much for little. While we publishers
may get well paid for inserting such
ads, do we not in measure, by so do
ing, assist in robbing the subscribers to
our paper, whom we are IN duty bound
to protect from all imposters. 1t has
been the aim of the Herald to exclude
all fraud" ads. from it's columns.

proYements.
National lie Stock Journal
We know cases where keeping strict
farm accounts has nearly doubled the pro
ducts Of the farm in Ave years. Thisis an
absolute necessity to give basis for i'm.
provement. These accounts enable the
farmer to analyze his separate operations,
and to see which pays best; and everyim
proyement he makes encourages him to
make others;an these multiplied through
all his operations soon double his produc-
tons. We have known dairyman whose
average production OF milk stood quitelow
at the factory, to be much stimulated by
the greater success OF neighbor that he
set to work studying the matter Of feeding,
experimenting and weighing the milk Of
each COW, discarding the poorest mixers
and buying better TO replace them, till the
next season he was able to show SO per:
cent addition to his average per COW. And
several years after, when he led all the
patrons Of the factory, he declared that bis
real profits in dairying began with his
keeping account OF the individual merit
Of bis cows, and that he was led to do this
by finding his yield so much behind his
neighbor's. This is an illustration OF the
effect Of keeping accounts on other
branches OF farming. Now is q good time
for the farmer To. begin accounts OF the
spring operations. .i.

The woodsmen Announce n Great Gum
Year.
Bangor Cor. Eeu Tork Sun.
This is great gum year in Maine, espe-
cially on the Penobscot, and now that the
sun is climbing up into the north little
and the lumbermen are coming out the
air is fairly redolent with the perfume Of
spruce. The logs, knees and bark are not
the only valuableparts Of the great timber
tree, for the gum is worth considerable,
even in its rough state, just as it is hacked
from the crotches OF the old trees. There
arc two or three firms here which buy
large quantities OF it from the lumbermen
and gum-hunters for the purpose OF refin-
ing 1t, as they say. But, ,as q general
thing, the refining consists In adulteration
with rosin. They throw it into a big ket-
tic, bark and all, and boil it 10 about the
consistency OF thick molasscs, skimming
tho impurities of as they rise to the sur
face. Then, II the purpose be- TO adulter.
ate, some lard or grease and lot OF rosin
is added, and in some cases little sugar.
The mixture then becomes thicker, and,
after more stirring, is poured out a slab,
where, while 1t is yet hot, tits rolled out
in a sheet about quarter 'of an inch
thick, and then chopped with steel die
into pieces half an inch wide and three
quarters OF an inch long. These pieces
are wrapped in tissue paper and.packed in
wooden boxes. There are about 200 pieces
in box. Some gum is treated in this
way without adulteration.
The best gum comes from no particular
locality, but always from the biggest trees.
The doctors up here say chewing gum
benefits the teeth. The losgers, in their
many idle hours by the camp fire, white
out miniature barrels from blocks Of cedar
or white pine, hollow them out, and gil
them with the choicest gum the woods af-
ford for gifts TO their sweethearts, chill.
dren or friends when they come down"
in the spring. Others, who so into the
woods for gum alone, bring down big bags
OF gum and sell it to manufacturers Of the
improved article, Up here adulterated
gum is called patent gum.
