Prospects of Fruit Raising.


j. II. Hale of Connecticut, who has had
wide experience in fruit raising, after
speaking of the advantages of the present
day--the railways, nearness to towns,
home markets, cheap conveyance, ETC.,
says: "Yet with all these advantages
none of us are getting rich. Some are
just making a living. others are losing
money and becoming discouraged with
low prices. We hear, indeed, about the
successful cultivator who produces 5000
to 5000 quarts of berries to the acre, and
sells them for 10 cents quart, while moth
ing is said of the ninety and nine just
men, who raise 1000 quarts and sell them
for cents. But at present l advise those
who are established in the business to
hold on; cultivate fewer acres, give better
care to what they have, and let new be-
ginners not begin" These remarks apply
to those who raise fruits for market, they
can have no retarding ekect on such as
provide an abundant supply for their fam
lilies at home.

Reports of Fruit Raising-House-
hold Hints and Farm Notes.

This is the period for putting in the
turnip crop, and new crop seed should be
used. The seed being snail it is import
ant that the soil be in the finest possible
condition, not a clod or lump to be al
lowed. The ground las was recommended
previously should have been plowed and
frequently cultivated before now, in order
TO allow weed and grass seeds to germin-
ate, thereby Kidding the field of these
nuisances before planting. The crop is
especially summer crop and natures
quickly. 1t can be grown on land formerly
occupied by early potatoes or green peas,
which is an advantage, the cultivation of
the previous crop cleaning the land for
the turnips. For general crop the ruta-
bagas are preferred, as they keep well in
winter and yield largely. The seed should
not 60 in until the ground is moist, and
half an inch covering is sufficient. The
VOWS should be carefully laid off and
as straight as possible, in order
to permit the use of the horse
hoe after the plants are well
up. The better mode of putting in the
seed is to use a seed-planter, as they are
now constructed to open the rows, drop
the seed at intervals, cover them, and then
slightly press the earth on the seeds with
a small roller. 1t also marks off the next
rop. BY this plan it is only necessary to
use the marking line for the first row.
Use plenty OF seed. as the fly readily at
tacks the young plants. A liberal use OF
wood ashes along the rows is said to be
protection, but it is better to rely on the
use OF more seed than is really necessary,
as the surplus plants can be easily re-
moved if too thick after they appear.
There are two methods of putting in the
seed. One is to sow the seed thickly in
the row and after they appear to thin the
plants out By chOpping spaces between
the stools required, and the other is to
drop the seed in stools at distances sui
ficient to allow of the use OF the hoe. The
latter mode is preferable, as the work can
be done with the seed-planter. IL either
case the hoe must be used.

Seal FarmIng and Gardening.
Country Gentleman.l


Farmers and country residents generally
have within their reach the means for
making their children healthful and hap
Ply by enjoying the odors of green fields.
For this purpose their grounds should be
made neat and attractive to a reasonable
extent, and repulsive influences removed.
The wise farmer will begin early with his
children, TO gather around them these at
fractions. If the parent takes an interest
in green grass and flowers he may convey
this mental inheritance to his children by
pointing out their beauties and wonders
and by devoting some OF his time to de-
vcloping these wonders. A neatly kept
home and its surroundings, facilities for
the study OF the natural sciences, home
collections Of minerals and insects, teach
ing the art of budding, pruning and graft
ing, making dried collections of weed and
of grains and grasses, will gradually in the
course Of years make the country perma-
nently attractive to growing up families,
and ineite a taste for rural and scientific
study.

Preserve the Landmarks.

There is surprising recklessness regard
ing the preservation of monuments
erected by the government surveyors
throughout the northwest. The surveyor
of Brown county, Oak, gives this timely
warning IN loca. paper: Il notice a
lamentable want of care OF the govern
ment corners among the farmers and
landowners Of the country. Where stakes
existed they are rotted of, often pulled
out and used for frewood; the mounds
are erased by cattle or travel, the pits are
filed up and obliberated and soon, if not
already, no certain evidence will remain
OF their exact location. Now | need not
enlarge on the very great Importance OF
preserving these points TO mark our
boundary lines. Residents from the east
can recall any amount OF trouble arising
from some lost corner doubts, disputes,
litigation, and perchance big surveyors
bill. Therefore, let every one of these
corners receive the prompt attention nee
essary TO make it definite and permanent.
Since each corner has an individuality OF
its own, owing to the marked Irregular
ties OF the government surveys, it is a mis-
take TO think that a lost corner may
readily be restored by measurements
from adjacent corners. For enduring
monuments l would suggest a pointed
stone or iron rod, or where practicable
plant tree. To forestall any subsequent
dispute two or more OF the adjacent own
ers should unite in the planting of the
corner. / would caution roadmasters
against carelessness in destroying or
bUuying too deeply these landmarks.

THE HONEY EXTRACTOR.
Death of Maj. Van Hruschka, the Inventor
of n Useful Article.

of n Useful Article.
A foreign paper notices the death at
Venice, Itaiy, OF Maj. Won Hruschka, the
inventor OF the honey extractor. He was
a retired Austrian officer, and the honey
extractor occurred in this way: His apiary
was in Italy, and one day when he was in
his apiary his littla boy came there. The
boy had a small tin pail tied to a string,
which ne was swinging in a circle, holding
the string in his hand. The indulgent
father gave the youth a small piece of
comb filed with honey, putting il into the
little pail. The boy, aftes little while,
began TO swing the pail again as before.
A few moments after he became tired OF
that amusement and put the pail down
TO talk TO his father, who took it
up, and, by chance, noticed that the
honey had left the comb and set
tied down into the pail, leaving the comb
perfectly clean that had been on the out
side of the circle when the boy was swing
ing it around. The major wondered at
the circumstance, and turning the comb
over babe the boy swing it again, when,
TO his great astonishmant, the other side
OF the comb also became perfectly clean,
all the honey being extracted and lying at
the bottom OF the pail.
During the following night Mai. Won
Hruschka, after going to bed, commenced
10 think the circumstances over. On the
morrow he commenced a series OF expert
ments which resulted in his giving to the
world the first honey extractor. which by
whirling, something like his son whirled
that little tin pail, gave him the pure
liquid honey, extracted by centrifugal
force, leaving the honeycomb entirely
free from the liquid sweet, which he gave
again TO the bees TO fill, allowing him the
pure honey for making wine, mead, ana
me;heglin, or honey cakes as desired,
without employing the troublesome and
primitive method in use up TO that time
of MASKING up the combs containing the
honey, pollen, and sometimes brood, too,
20 let the honey drain through the cloth
in which it was placed, giving what was
formerly known as .'strained honey"
