Appl. Crop at HON. and Abroad.


According to data compiled by the
Boston Chamber of Commerce. the
probable yield of apples in the New
England states will be about one-half
an average crop, while the same ap-
plies to New York, with quality mostly
inferior. Virginia, Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania and Kentucky, about one-third
of crop. Missouri. Kansas, Arkansas,
Illinois and Indiana, considerably less
than last year. Michigan, California,
Colorado and Oregon, many more than
last year. These predictions are made
by the same authority as regards the
crop in the countries named: Great
Britain = Considerably heavier than
last year, the bulk Of which will con-
sist of later varieties. France and
Belgium-Fair crop Of late varieties
Spain and Portugal-Early varieties
rather light, with later varieties heav-
Ter. Holland and Germany-Will not
have q large crop, as fallings OF late
varieties have been considerable, more
especially in Germany, while Holland
will be heavier in early varieties. Nova
SCOTIA fair crop. and by some 1t is
estimated that over 900 barrels will
be shipped Ontario-East Of Toronto,
not so heavy as last year, while west
of Toronto there will be many times
more than last year. The prospects
are that the fall varieties will not be
required In Great Britain, except in
very moderate quantities, as their ap-
nlas and those from the continent will
almost answer requirements until win
ter apples from the United States are
ready for shipment.

CaImuck Wool Growers.

One of the most difficult tasks OF
government employees is accurately to
locate the country in which imported
wool is produced. This is particularly
the case in regard to the celebrated
Calmuck wool. The Calmucks are peo-
pie of the Monaghan type, and are
found in the Chinese and Russian en-
pires, as well as other portions of CEN
trail Asia. They are wandering race,
and are very eccentric. Continually
on the move, they stop only at places
where feeding is abundant. When the
season for shearing approaches they
get as near as possible to the most con-
venient port in the district they hap
pen to be travelling in They seldom
ship their wool from the same port
twice in succession. They live in conf
cal. felt tents. which are set up in
regular lines, like the streets Of a
town. They pride themselves on their
small, tough, high-spirited horses, and
these, with excellent cattle and broad
tailed, rough-feeced sheep, constitute
their wealth. They are great gam
blers, and the shearing season. which
throughout is a period of merrymak-
ing, brings out this vice in an extraor-
binary way. Their favorite practice is
to gamble on the speed Of two or more
of the most adept shearers. A Cal
muck may begin his shearing a COM
paratively wealthy man and end the
season by being a beggar. But he
never frets over his losses. He starts
fortunes, and often within year he is
better on than ever. But this does not
cure his mania for gambling, which he
will follow so long as he has anything
to gamble with

Wheat went through the winter In
good condition and started well in the
spring, when, March %. freeze cut it
to the ground. This delayed ripening
two weeks, making it SO late that it
was caught by the black rust after the
usual time of ripening. The black
rust appeared June II. as most of our
wheat was in the dough, and in three
days wheat that had promised yield
of 30 to 10 bushels per acre was hard

FARM AND GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
ACRICULTURISTS
Some Up-to-Date Hints About Gull
tivation of tho Soil and Yields
Thereof-Horticulture, viticulturs and
F1oricultur&



Celery is said to be a native of
Great Britain, where it grows in low,
wet places 1t has been cultivated and
made edible. introduced into the
United States it grows well in soils
that are moist and filed with humus
and in ATTITUDES not too cold. Black
muck is a favorite soil in the West,
and where it is underlaid by gravel or
some soil that will permit of natur-
al drainage it proves suitable. There
are favorite localities where the muck
is so deep that it makes no difference
what the subsoil is, since by digging
large open drains, way out is MADE
for the water There are many places
where celery soil exists that is as yet
untitled for the growing OF that
plant. Celery is a boon to the farmer
in that it takes for its natural habitat
soil that is not suitable for many OF
his crops. Not only is here the ad-
vantage that the low lands can be
used that would be otherwise but SER
viceable for meadows, but the gener-
ally even distribution of the muck
rigation easily possible. Thus the far
mer can be sure of a crop, even IN the
dryest of years. In such case the
coming in of this celery crop may
make up for losses sustained on the
lands that cannot be made resistant
to drouth. The plant can be grown
on the uplands, where Of course It's
ILL l. I<1+o ,od
the state of the weather.
Fertilizing is done as FOR otner
crops, and in such cases barn-yard
manure is preferable to any other
kind. Nitrate of soda is used to some
extent, as are also lime and gypsum.
The seed for the early crop is usually
sown in hot beds during the first halt
of March. If one has greenhouse OF
course this may be used for starting
the plants. The advice is given to
cover the seed very lightly, say a six
teenth of an inch. and to keep the
ground moist till the plants have OBJ
tanned a good start. One writer says
cover the top of the ground with paper
or boards till the seeds sprout.
For the crop that 10 cApcSlCU ~ -
pen late in the fall the seed may be
sown out of doors almost any time in
spring previous to June. When the
plants are large enough to transplant
they should be set in rows, the plants
to be six inches apart in the row and
the rows four or five feet apart. From
that on the culture is not much differ
ent from that given to most other
plants, surface cultivation between the
rows being practiced. If the field is
large one it may be found better to
use a horse cultivator, when it may be
advisable to have the rows more than
four feet apart.
Blanching is done in various ways,
by the use of boards or by killing up
the earth around the plants. But when
the celery is not to be put onto the
market till late in the winter 1t is not
often blanched till it is about to be
disposed Of

Look out for the Russian thistle. It
rs here and it has come to stay, says
Farm News. Last year the writer saw
q good many specimens east of the
Mississippi river, some of them along
the railroads of Ohio. Last fall good
many thistles went to seed and the
winter winds blew them hither and
yon all across the country. This
spring there are good many places
where Russian thistles are springing
up miles away from the place where
the seed ripened last fall This is es-
pecially true of the prairie sections Of
Illinois, and it is safe to predict that
the battle with this pest is on. Every
man must use his best efforts to de-
stroy every specimen on his land, il
he would have any peace handling his
crops of grain. We have been watch
ing specimens grow along one of the
great railroads, and it is surprising
how rapidly they shoot up and how
thickly the land has become seeded
with them in some places. If one Of
these plants get start, it soon throws
out side branches and the shade kills
any other plant near the thistle, and
if the thistles are thick enough every
other kind of vegetation disappears. A
single plant where it grows alone will
often cover a circular spot three feet
in diameter before the season is over.
It is the worst weed pest we have ever
been called upon to fight, and it should
be kept in subsection from the first

Tomatoes from Seed.-Tomatoes
raised from seed vary from season to
season. They grow readily from cut
tings, and when we find one plant that
is in every way more satisfactory than
others the only way to perpetuate it
with certainty is by cuttings.

Cleanliness in Swine Raising
whoever would raise hogs without
disease land this is necessary to OBJ
tain the highest profit must get rid Of
the notion that the hog is naturally
filthy animal; that filth is less dis
tasteful and unhealthful to him than
to the steer or horse, and that it is
impossible because of the nature of
the animal to surround the hog with
sanitary conditions. Filth is a pro-
life source Of disease among all ami
mails; and because the hog is brought
into contact with the most filth, there
is the most disease among swine. Filth
opposes the health and thrift Of swine
just as it opposes the health Of horses
or man. The first step in growing
hogs without diseases is to keep Nth
away from them, to give them clean
food. clean drink. clean quarters. clean
shelters. Farmers Bulletin.

OF course, hogs, like other animals,
and even like human beings, will con-
tract depraved appetite, says a writ
er in an exchange. If forced for long
to consume calculated food, he will
grow to prefer it, just as the topper
Graves alcoholic drink, or as the
opium-eater Graves the baneful drug
that has destroyed his will while per-
verting his physical condition. Some
times a grower will assert that high"
food Ia best for swine, but the assertion
is unscientifc and easily disproved by
practice. One who will separate his
swine into two groups for feeding, the
one with wholly unfermented foods,
and the other with sour and putrid
foods of the so-called "swill' class,
will, when he comes to killing, find a
vast difference between the texture,
color, flavor and other qualities Of the
meats in the two groups. 1t is I'M
deniable that the quality of the food
is recorded in the quality Of the flesh
produced by it, and this fact should
forever be borne In mind by the grow
er of swine. Western corn-fed pork
can be recognized even in ham and
bacon by it's texture and flavor. Swill-
fed pork bears its distinguishing
marks from pen to pan. Acorn-fed
pork is recognizable anywhere and
everywhere by the tang" of the acrid
meat of the acorns. The pork of the
creamery-fed swine would never be
mistaken by any one who has ever
made a comparative examination of
the pork of swine fed on various foods.
The grower must keep these indispu-
table points in mind when he outlines
his practice with his swine.
