MAIDEN BLUSH APPLE.


1.-THE fruit shows effects of apple bIotch.l
vaded area being dwarfed by the ac-
ton of the fungus, further growth Of
the apple results in cracking of the
fruit similar to that produced by the
apple scab fungus. The cracks range
and frequently extend almost to the
center Of the apple.
In extreme cases crack may almost
encircle the apple, practically dividing
it in half, and one crack may intersect
another, forming a cross. Fruits only
slightly affected with the disease may
90 through the season without devel-
oping cracks. These are more COM
monty developed shortly before the
fruit natures, though few may occur
earlier in the season. The skin being
thus broken, the fruit becomes an easy
prey to- other fungi and soon goes
down in decay. AS 8 rule, the affected
fruit drops prematurely, and the I'M
sprayed Ben Davis trees left as checks
in the demonstration blocks at Benton
vile, Ark, shed so per cent of their
crop some days before picking time.
Infection does not begin toitake place
until the fruit is nearly half grown.
The blotch was first observed on the
check trees June &c, and only few
affected fruits could be found on that
date. On July 16 large percentage of
the Ben Davis apples was affected, and
by the middle of August it was clearly
seen that the crop was practically lost.
1t developed first on fruit on the lower
branches and within the shaded por-
tons of the tree, but finally spread TO
almost the entire crop.-W. NJ. Scott.

The Shorthorns.

Perhaps the best claim to the qualifi-
cations of the two purpose breed is
possessed by the Shorthorn. AS is we'll
known, there are two distinct types,
one which is fair in milk production,
but excellent in beef, and another toll
erably good in beef, but valued most
for heavy milking qualities. In this
country the beef type is more com
mon, while in English dairy sections
the Shorthorn dairy strains are very
rominent.-American CultivatOr.

Sully's Courtahip.

in 1888 Rosny had fallen in love with
the daughter of the president, st.
Mesmin. The young lady was hand
some and kind, but while paying her
his addresses he heard of Mile. de
Courtenay, who was reported to be
beautiful, well-born and wealthy be-
sides. Prudence suggested that he
should make her the Baroness de Ros-
ny, but he was already half committed
to the other. While he was pondering
the subject he arrived one day at an
inn in Nogent and found, to his dismay
that by an unluclty chance both ladies
were lodged in it, Mile. de st. Mesmin
in the left wing and Mile. de Courte-
nay in the right. Both were ready to
marry him, and he was ready to mar
ry one of them, but could not decide
which. 1t was very awkward posi-
tion for the wavering lover, and at
first he thought of saving himself by
instant flight. While he hesitated Mile.
de st. Mesmin's younger sister saw
him and expressed her surprise that
he had been half an hour in the house
without visiting them. The decisive
moment had evidently come. Turn

who was with him. He did so, and

OLDEST ORCHARD IN AMERICA.

The oldest apple orchard in Ameri'
ca, If not in the world, is in the CEN
tre of the ancient of ManZano, Is miles
southwest of Estancia, Terrance coun-
ty, New Mexico. Many of the trees
are more than six feet in circumfer-
ence, but all are still fruitful and Wig
orous although neglected for genera
tions. Little is known of the history
of this orchard, but the Oldest inhabi-
tants of the valley Of the Rio Grande
remember the orchard from childhood
and say that the trees have not
changed in appearance since then.
Venerable Mexicans and Pueblo In
dians tell of visiting the orchard az
far back as they can remember and
finding apples on the ground in all
stages of decomposition at least two
feet deep.
The Estancia Valley has been peo-
pie for ages, probably by the kinsmen
of the natives found by the Spanish
explorers at Gran Qulvira, Abo and
other ancient cities. Probably in the
early days of the Spanish occupation
some Franciscan monk found his way
to Manzano and there planted the
seeds that have developed into these
venerable trees They are no doubt
fully three hundred years old.
Close by the orchard is little lake
fed by large spring. A short dis
tance away is grove of pines and ce-
