Apple Drying IN Western New
York,

The apple drying and fruit evaporat.
ing industry of Western New York
developed with astonishing rapidity
last year. Fruit evaporators are still
running in this part of the State. a fact
hitherto unknown in this business.
Over dozen new and large evaporators
have been erected in Niagara county
alone. The market for this kind of
fruit is found.in Europe, and dried ap-
Piles are supplanting in great measure
the green fruit. There are now in
NiagarA county representatives of
English firms buying large quantities of
this kind of fruit. The reason assign
ed is that barreled apples rot SO in
making the transatlantic trip. Many
European firms have taken the trouble
This year to send their agents to this
:ouDtry to buy from personal iuspec-
tion rather than through their commits.
sion men. If the market does not rise
before spring it is liable to leave several
prominent commission firms in this
State in bad way. The blow the
dried fruit strikes at the green is sur
prising. 1t is estimated that over
100000 have been expended in evap.
,rating apples and canning them in this
county alone. OF course this. county
naturally leads all the others as being
the chief apple market of the world,
but Wane, Monroe, Orleans, Ghautau-
qua and Cattarausus are not far behind.

Farmers Institutes.

In states that are blessed with State
Boards Of Agriculture, growing pop,
ularity for Farmers Institutes is shown
The Western States are most conspic-
ueus for these institutes which are in.
creasing agricultural education and or
ganization among farmers to a mcst
gratifying extent. The Institute meet
ings are distributed over the states by
congressional districts, aud held at cen.
tral and most accessible points for each
district
Maryland's prospects are new favor

mental Station, and farmers should
make a united effort to have this insti-
tuition established on q basis which
would protect it from the political octi-
pus that has sucked the blood of the
Agricultural College. making that
school utterly useless for any agricul-
tural purpose whatever.
With an active Agricultural Station,
Farmers Institutes might be held in
the winter season with immense advan.
tage to our State. The following pro.

Colorado Beetle in Germany.

In the December number Of Agrs-
cultural Science is translation from
tbe Berlin Official Gazette of an ac-
count of how the introduction of the
Colorado potato beetle into Germany is
prevented. The beetle was first dis
covered on the patato field in tie local
ity Of Latitzch. As soon as its appear.
ance was positively settled, an exam
ination was first made of all the fields
the beetle could possibly have visited
Then for distance of SIX miles about
the place. placards with colored illus
trations of the insect were distributed
among the people to put them on their
guard. Eight smaller potato fields
were thus discoveredrto be affected.
All these grounds were then strictly
guaranteed. The potato STALKS were
most carefully searched for eggs, larvae
and beetles Next the soil about the
roots and stems was examined and aft
erwards the tops were cut eff and col
lected in linen lined baskets. These
were placed in pits four feet deep, in
layers four inches thick and situated
with raw beuzine oil destroying the
plants; on top of these were placed other
layers until hight OF 20 inches was
reached; then esrth was placed on
them. The infested fields were plowed
nearly a foot deep, experienced labor
ers followed the plows, collecting any
larvae, chrysalids, or beetles turned up.
Then the land was narrowed once being
gone over again by laborers for Insects.
After the search was ended the fields
were thoroughly satuated with raw ben.
zine OIL, l65 lbs being used to II
square feet, The fields were shut up
aud no one allowed TO go on then.
Next year no crops will be grown h ert'
but the folds will be again exam
