Canada in the United States is equally
adapted to the growth of the fruit, and the
larger part of our apple-crop comes from
along this northern tier of States. Near
lv 400. 900 barrels of apples were shipped
from this country abroad in 1891, and
more than that number several times
over is reserved for home consumption.
England is great purchaser OF apples,
and she takes all the surplus crop that
Canada can produce, and OF late years
Australia has been trying to make up the
balance which Canada fails to fill. Never
theless. the markets of the world are SO
board, and the demand so general, that
American farmers are increasing their
apple-orchards rapidly. Apples from
this country generally command from
three to four times as much as the Eng
lish. Horticulturists claim that this is due
to the greater care in picking and pack
ing American apples, only the inner va
rieties of which, known as dessert apples,
are shipped to Europe. The best apples
from the Northern part of our country
command even better prices than oranges
in the English markets. The vast ma
jority of the inferior apples are consum-
ed in this country, while the foreign
markets get the pick of the frnit.
The soil best adapted to the cultivation
of the apple tree is the deep loan of the
old red sandstone, and for this reason the
greater part of the Northern States and
southern Canada are so well adapted to
their growth. The rich soil of the West
ern States produces apples of q larger
size than those of New England, but
they are inferior in flavor. The apple is
one of the hardest fruits that we have,
and it will flourish as far North as the
isotherm of IS degrees, and even farther

| In the Southern States the apples de-
crease in quantity and quality, as the
winters are too short and the summers
too long. 1t has been a problem, how
ever, for some time to introduce iron
clad'' varieties of apples, which will
stand the severe winters which occasion
ally sweep across northern Maine. Yer
mont and Canada. The ordinary varie-
ties are often killed by the cold and only
produce crops occasionally. The Russian
iron-clad varieties have been introduced
here, and when crossed with the native
stock, they produce fine tree, uniting
the hard qualities of the Russian apples
with the sweetness and flavor of the
American fruit. The Red Astrakhan,
which is so celebrated in all our mark
cts, is one of those imported varieties,
while the Spitzenberg comes from some
part of northern Europe also.
Altogether there are more than 1000
varieties of apples raised in the United
States, and all shades of quality and size
are represented in this long list. They
al 20 represent different times of the sea-
son for ripening, beginning with the ear
lv harvest apples, and ending with the
late winter varieties. Some of the ex-
cellent winter apples will keep two years
or more, while many of the summer ap-
ples decay inside of a month after matur-
ity. The Newtown pipin sells the best
in New York, and it is a favorite brand
in this country. Other varieties that sell
we'll in all the markets are familiar to
every lover of apples, such as the bell
flower, russell, Baldwin, gravenstein,
Vandevere, nonesuch and the greening.

appearance, even though it is generally
known that they are inferior to the green
ones. The third grade consists of all the
apples that will not go into higher grades
and yet are too good to convert into
cider OF to feed to the animals. The
apples in this instance are tumbled into
barrels without much assortment, and
the owner is satisfied if he can get in re-
turn fifty cents profit per barrel for
them.
The ssculls'' and. bruised apples from
the heap are either dried, fed to the ami
mails. kept for home consumption, OF
converted into cider. Cider in modern
times has partly fallen under the ban OF
temperance reforms; but there are
enough cider-lovers left yet to make the
drink profitable one for the manufac-
turers. In the early days of New Eng
land every cellar was abundantly stored
with apples and cider, and the latter was
considered wholesome and lndispensa-
BILE beverage This was good old Eng
lish notion, and the New England Purl-
tans could find no harm in drinking this
wholesome beverage. Today more cider
is probably used in New England than
elsewhere. both as table ornament and
as a mixture to flavor pies, buildings,
and similar eatables. The apple-growers
of this section generally have their own
cider presses, or one is purchased in com
mon bv several farmers. All the surplus
crop is turned into the mill. Ii there is
no sale for the cider while fresh, it is
sure to be converted into vinegar thai

| through the setting out of additional
orchards. Good large trees now yield
from two to five barrels of salable apples.
An old tree of q good variety that will
produce such a crop nearly every season
pays the owner large profit.
The harvest season for apples begins
late lie the summer in many places, but
along the Canadian border September is
early enough, and most owners wait even
later. The apples here are naturally
winter apples, and they are picked to
supply the late markets. Apple pickers
arm themselves with stout muslin bag,
which they sling over their shoulders,
and light wooden ladder. Every apple
must be picked carefully fIom the tree,

several kegs of cider are thus annuslly
consumed in every large orchard.
Two years ago there was some trouble
abroad started by rumor that American
apples were poisoned. This caused de-
cided decrease in the export trade, and
apple growers found their interests
damaged considerably. The fear was
that the apple had absorbed some OF the
copper solutions sprayed over the trees
to kill insects, but common sense soon
ruled again, and the alarm was found to
be as silly as the grape in New York
last season. The apple-growers have to
use poison to kill the insects, as all other
horticulturists do, but this does not in
lure the fruit. If it were not for this
poison, the apple orchards would be
nearly ruined by grubs, flies, and insects

PENNINGTON, Me-, September 23.-
The apple-crop of Canada and Mainelvery
materially affects the general prosperity
of this section of the country, for the eli
mate of the Northern part of the United
States and of southern Canada is SO per-
fectly adapted to this wholesome fruit
that many hundreds of acres are planted
with the trees. All sorts of apples are
grown here, and no prettier sight can be
imagined than to walk through the coun-
try and see fields of apple-trees loaded
down with the fruit-golden russets,
green pippins, and bright red Baldwius.
In fact, just comparison between an
apple-tree loaded with fruit and an
orange-tree of sunny Florida would not
result disadvantageously to the formers
credit-while the orange-tree exhibits
simply gold and green colors, the apple
orchard presents nearly every hue OF the
rainbow, scattered promiscuously among
the green branches and leaves.
Canada annually exports thousands of
barrels of apples, and farmers find more
profit in this Industry than in general
farming. The line along the border of
