TWO PROFITABLE APPLE TREES.
| Judge ii II. Branch of Orwell has en-
joyed the reputation for some time of sell
ing more apples from the same number of
trees than any other man in town. This
season, although the off year, he has pick
ed over 200 barrels from - trees Twenty
six barrels of SHOWS from two trees We're
sent to New York market last week and
were good enough so that they sold there
Oh Friday for $3.50 per barrel. Had the
two barrels retained at home been sent
