HOW TO PACK APPLES.

Country shippers and packers of APP
their fruit honestly: that is, have the
fruit run alike all through the barrel.
Do not endeavor to cause deception
by playing good, sound fruit on the
top and bottom of the barrel, and fill
the middle with a lot Of gnarly. wormy
and decayed fruit. 1t does not pay.
The deception is easily detected upon
investigation. and merchants do not
care to have fraud practiced upon
them, neither do they care to practice
1t upon their customers.
Full regulation sized barrels should
be used Take the barrel, one head
out, nail the hoops and break off the
ends of the nails at the inside; place
layer or tier Of apples, good and uni
form size, smooth. bright. healthy, as
closely as possible, stems downward
on the lower end, then fill up, basket
| full at a time. throwing out small,
wormy or windfall apples and shaking
the barrel we'll after each deposit un-
| til it is full up to the top Of the rim
or two inches above the rim, depending
on variety and tenderness Of fruit;
place the head squarely on the apples,
and with a screw or leyer(pres force
it into place and nail securely. Turn
over the barrel and mark name of APP
pies with red or black lead or stencil.
Bear in mind that, to be shipped safe
| ly. fruit must be packed tight, to pre-
vent rafting or bruising.-Massachu'

preached. The man evidently had been

APPLE RUST.

The disease is we'll named. Leaves
attacked by it appear as though COW
cred by an unusually heavy coat of
iron rust in isolated patches. In more
severe cases these patches are more or
less closely connected, and the whole
under surface of the leaf Will present
a rusty appearance. Upon close in
spection it will be noted that the af-
fected areas are really outgrowths
from the surface.
This disease is frequently met with
in various sections Of the country on
the foliage of the apple. The fruit is
seldom attacked by the rust, but some
varieties show more or less susceptible
ity TO it. The Lawyer or Delaware Red
Winter is one of the sorts most often
attacked by ii. Many of the low plants
which prey upon our cultivated apples.
present very interesting life history,
in fact. the peculiarities which they
present are quite as surprising in then
way as are the transformations OF in
sectS.
The apple rust lives during a portion
of its existence upon the apple as
host affecting either its leaves or fruit
in the manner above described. This
same fungus appears i'll another and
very different form upon she red cedar,
causing what are popularity known as
cedar apples These apples during
April and May become masses of gela-
+ipouc material IS1la lly irregular in OIlt-
line. looking much like a mass of Sela-
tine Jelly of Il bright straw or orange
color. In the mass of jelly-like tissues
great numbers of reproductive bodies
| (spores) are produced which when dry
are carried by the wind to the apple
leaves or growing fruits to produce the
| characteristic rust spots.
AS has already been limited. the prev
alence of the rust depends much upon
the sort of apple. Its prevalence is
also in the vicinity of the orchard. The
chief safeguards lie, therefore, in
avoiding or in eliminating the cedar
and in selecting resisting varieties as
the sprays so far discovered as fungi
cides have little effect in checking the
! disease. In fact. | have found this
malady in sprayed orchards where the
foliage and fruits were free from seal
and brown spot. indicating that the
sprays used had less influence ii
checking the rust than in subduing the
other troubles = W. Va. Experiment

PAINT ron TuE FRUIT TREES.

Mr.. Il. Maxwell, Of Lindale. sends
,he following recipe to the Courier,
which should bo read by every fruit
grower: = great variety of washes
have hecn used for preventing the fe-
male beetles from laying their eggs
upon the trees. The following is prob
ably as effective as any that can be
used without danger of injury to the
bark: Dissolve one-half gallon of soft
soap or five pounds Of whale oil soap
in one-half gallon OF bot water, and
add one-half pint Of carbolic acid.
When mixed, add five gallons of warm
water and enough lime to make n
whitewash of about the consistency
Of paint Finally stT in one-fourth of
a pound Of Paris queen. Apply tie
wash in April, before the eggs have
beon deposited on theHtrees. and again
III Il few weeks. All cracks and crew
ices must be filed and the bark thor
oughly and completely covered. The
work has no effect on the borers after
they have once entered the tree. but
is intended to prevent the depositing
Of eggs. to kill newly-hatched larvae
before they have entered the bark
