first anples which are put in market

first apples which are put in market
barrels should be STAGED The
facing consists in placing two or
three layers on the lower head with
stems down; that is, with stems
pointing toward the head. Clean,
bright apples of ordinary size should
be selected for this purpose. The
rest of the apples may be poured into
the barrel. This pouring, if proper
ly done, will not injure the apples.
Eggs can be produced. Use bas-
ket with swinging handle, one
which can be lowered into the barrel
and turned while there, and hold the
apples back with the hand, so that
they will not pour too rapidly. Two
or three times during the filling shake
the barrel gently to settle the apples
firmly. Face the upper head in the
same manner as the lower one. 1t is
desirable not to head up the barrel
| at once. Cover with boards to keep
out the rain, and let the barrels stand
open four or five days. 1t is not,
however, always possible to cover
the barrels, in which case they may
be headed up at once and turned
| down on their sides. In this condi-
ton they will shed water.-Ameri.

GARDEN WORK.

There is some work to be done in
the garden this month. The asparagus
bed should have the old stalks cut
down and burned, and liberal
amount of manure should be forked
in now. The currant, gooseberry,
blackberry and raspberry bushes
should have much of the old wood
cut out and the new wood trimmed
back, and they also should be ma
nured. If any are too tender for
this climate they should be laid upon
the ground and lightly covered with
earth or with horse manure. Grapes
also may be taken from their trellises
and laid down if there is danger from
winter-killing upon the treliis. Ma
nure them with bone and ashes or
some fertilizer that is rich in phos-
phoric acid and potash. Do not use
Notwithstanding manures, like night
soil, pure manure, blood or fish scrap
around any of the small fruits. 1t
Injuries the flavor of the fruit, and it
makes growth of wood which is
not tough and healthy, but which is
very liable to attacks of insects and
diseases. Well-rotted horse manure,
or a compost of horse and cow ma
nure, is excellent, and it may be i'm
proved by a mixture of good wood
ashes. The pie plant also should
have liberal manuring now. and the
same manure used for the asparagus
or the small fruits will be well adapt
ed to this plant. Material for mulch
ing all the above should be collected
now, and placed where it can be used
quickly when needed, if it is to be
put on plentifully at the same time
as the strawberry beds are mulched,
which should be done when the
ground is frozen an inch or so deep

The Butter GlObule.

"We are glad to note that the
New York State Experiment Station,
under the dictatorship of DR.. Sturte-
want, has during the past year been
making a special study of the fat
globule in milk. DR.. S. M. Babcock,
chemist to the station, contributes
paper to the 1885 report that would
seem to settle the membrane question
beyond further dispute or discussion.
His experiments show that the fat in
milk is free fat and exists in the form
of an emulsion with the serum of the
milk" So says Brother Cheever of
the Ne,o England Farmer. 1t is now
nearly twenty-three years since we
spent much time in the study of milk
physiological and chemical sides of the
subject were studied thoroughly and
carefully, and, with microscopes kindly
supplied to us by Professor Oliver
Wendell Holmes of the Harvard Med
ical School, all that could be learned
OFFICIALLY of the nature and constitution
of this peculiar fluid was striven for.
AT that time we were engaged in the
practice of medicine in the city of Bos-
ton, our specially being the diseases of
children. Years afterwards, when cir
cumstances had made us farmer and
an editor in Vermont, we many times
publicly stated the facts as we had
learned them, and as DIR. Babcock has
now again learned them. We were
not then aware, as we have since be-
come, that it is not permitted to every
one to make scientific discoveries.
There are rings in science, as in art
and in politics. If you are in mutual
admiration ring, in science, you are all
right, and your good work Qf you do
any will be trumpeted and sustained
by your brother professional ringsters
under the usual understanding in
rings-"you blow for me, and I'll
blow for YOU" Otherwise, the rings
throw cold water on you, or listen to
you, or your personal friends, with icy
if polite unbelief, real or assumed.
OF course patient, persevering merit
may in time push itself to the front in
spite of all rings, and achieve recogni-
ton. But we were never very ambi-
tious in that way. We sought for the
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1886-04-21

knowledge because we wanted to use it.
AS occasion served we impaired it to
others, but we did not care too much
whether they accepted or refused it.
Some who wouldn't know milk globule
if they should see it, and who never had
seen one, were quite witty at our ex-
pense. They no doubt thought it
very unwarranted thing for us to make
statements so opposed to the received
opinion in this matter. But now that
Dr. Babcock has gone all over the work
again, probably under better facilities
than were possible to us, is the dis
covery yet made? Has DR.. Babcock,
or his chief, Dr. Sturtevant, sufficient
standing in any scientific ring to get
this discovery accepted? We fear it is
doubtful. 1t is more likely that we must
wait for the work to be done by some
one with the right kind of backing
one with such position and support as
will authorize the teachings of the
physiological textbooks to be harmon
lied and brought into. line with actual
facts, well known to few for nearly a
quarter of century.

THAT TERRIBLE HARROW.

Mr.. Editor Il see in your department you
recommend hoeing potatoes, and / think
corn, with harrow. | would like to know
what kind of harrow you use. / greatly
fear if l should put my harrow to such pur-
poses / should get very few potatoes, or corn
either-for it would think, tear everything
up by the roots. 1t has suggested itself to
me it must be the Thomas harrow you
use. / am, and always was, ready to accept
advice from any one that knows from ex-
perence, and if / can raise better crops and
raise them cheaper by change of practice,
/ am in for it, for am very certain that the
farmers need to employ every means prac-
ticable to keep even with the times. Speak
ing of grating wax, used your recipe last
season and / never saw as good results
from any other. 1t stayed where it was put
in all kinds of weather | see you esteem
ashes highly as a fertilizer and especially
for potatoes. Experimental some last sea-
son by using ashes and plaster in connec-
ton on my potatoes, in the proportion of one
pint of good hardwood ashes in each hill
and at the rate of four hundred pounds of
plaster per acre. 1t was greensward and
well plowed and narrowed with wheel
harrow, and then furrowed and planted in
the furrow. The crop was fair, did not rot
much in the field and not badly in the
cellar. j. c. q.
REMARKS. Potatoes when planted
deep (six inches) and covered with
harrow, as advised above, can be safely
narrowed when coming up, even with
light straight tooth harrow. Indeed
that is what we have always used, nine
teen teeth set ten by fourteen, five
eighths round steel, quite sharp. This
harrow is easily drawn by one-horse.
You won't knock off half dozen sprouts
in narrowing an acre. 1t cleans out the
