The Apple Market Outlook.

The apple crop now being settled
problem, the question of what growers
are going to receive for them becomes
an absorbing topic. In this connection
the most that can be said at this time
ia that as usual at this early time of the
season no estimate of what either
present or prospective selling value
should be seems to have yet been settled.
While there have been some sales, yet
the price has been such as grower In
his case could snatch up rather than
generally established value.
We learn of sales Of winter standard
varieties at prices ranging from dollar
and a half up to two dollars barrel
according to what the sale includes
But these prices are only for the'timt
being, and should hardly be relied upor
az to what the offers may be next weeh
or next month. This is said as applying
to New England and Maine at the pres
ent time.
In the country at large the selling
value Of apples is also a good deal mix
cd. In the middle west and southwes
there seems to be quite full crop tha
the locality appears anxious to dispos'
of. This condition introduces a facto
of uncertainty as to the value of th'
Eastern crop. Just at present New

Braxil's JunEles.

The jungles Of Central America and
Brazil are masses Of vegetation SO
dense that it is practically impossible
TO penetrate them. Swain and his par
ty when crossing the isthmus Of Da-
rien labored hard with their hatchets
and machetes the whole Of one day and
achieved but half mile. In many
parts of Central America the under
growth renews itself so rapidly that 1t
is almost impossible to keep road
open through 1t. In one instance In
Honduras road sixteen feet wide was
made by engineers and laborers
through jungle, the underbrush and
vines being cut away even with the
ground. Two weeks later, returning to
complete the work by laying stones on
the .roadbed, they could not find the
road, the vines having completely filled
the vacant space.

st. NapOleon,

Many people ignorant Of the true his
tory of the church will be scandalized
when they read the title Of this article.
Let them read it to the end. There
was in Corsica some hundred years
ago very pious family called the Bo.
napartes. Their first child was born
on the 18th Of August, Assumption
day, and as he looked very small and
feeble they wanted him to be baptized
without delay. Their priest consented
to perform the ceremony, but as 1t was
customary to give to child the name
of the patron saint of his or her birth
day the good priest could not and
would not call him Assumption Bona
parte." In his embarrassment he look
ed carefully over the Lives of the
Saints" and finally found the name Of
saint martyr who In the first centu-
ries of the church had ben stoned to
death OH that very day of Aug. 10. or
course neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Bonaparte
objected that their firstbOrn child
should be named Napoleon, having
thus the high patronage Of a brave
martyr Of the early Christian church,

others. The future of the New England
farm will be largely the working out OF
these conditions.
They are, of course, the competition
of the new lands of the west and the in
creased use of farm machinery. These
two causes have worked together, each
depending upon the other. In fact, had
| 1t not been for the invention of our
modern farm machinery, the competition
of the west would never have been what
it is, and had it not been for the demand
arising from the vast level plains OF the
west, farm machinery would never have
reached its present stage OF advance
ment.
Western competition with our agri-
culture has thus been severe for two
reasons: Superior fertility of the soil,
and its better adaptability to the use OF
machinery. Exhaustion of virgin fer
tility in the west and improved methods
of tillage and fertilization in the east
are rendering the west less superior In
the first respect. The other consider
alton believe to be the vital one. The
future of the individual New England
farm depends upon whether or not it
can be titled by machinery. OF course,
there is no hard and fast rule. Our
farms vary from those that can be titled
as easily as prairie to those that can be
cultivated only with pickaxe.
For the best class of farms l believe
the future is bright and that prices will
improve. In Vermont we have thou
sands of acres of land which can be
bought now for $50 or $50 an acre. If
these lands were located in Illinois or
Iowa, they would sell for 500 an acre.
l cannot but believe that the future
will bring demand for this land. On
the other hand, we have many acres in
cultivation which l believe can best be
given up to the growth of forest. We
shall see more artificial forest planting
in New England in the future, and there
by see the land 30 utilized as to yield
more net profit per acre than 1t now
yields in pastures and fields.
There is no occasion for discourage
ment in Vermont. l have never been
one to mourn over abandoned farms or
to urge artificial means to prevent their
going back to forest. The causes work
ing here are beyond the control of
government. 1t is worth remembering
that when a man abandons farm he
does it simply because he can live more
easily and happily elsewhere. New
England might abandon third of the
land now in farm and produce more on
the remainder than she is now produc.
ing and at vastly less expense.
