 been tested by long experience — the tides are 

 noted with care — a complete register of the times 

 of holding the Courts in each State in New Eng-

This Diary likewise contains no less than 17 

 pages of iniscellaneous matter, highly useful to 

 every Farmer and House-keeper. The following 

 are among the articles, viz: — Descriiition of, and 

 remedies against, the Curculio, or worm in apples, 

 pears, stone-fruits, &c. — the celebrated A.Young's 

 Rules for Ploughing — Hon. T. Pickering's remarks

The contemptible quackery of undertaking to 

 foretell what the weather will be a year hence, 

 more or less, is in this Calendar, superseded by 

 realities of use in domestic economy, or maxims of 



morality, instead of " Illustrations of Lying." 



The pseudo-weather-wise-Alnianac-PTO^;ios((ca<or 

 must be a Prevaricator, in pretending to know 

 what cannot be known. He might as well tell us 

 haw many wild geese will fly over New England 

 next spring, or bow many i)in feathers will belong 

 to their goslings at the period of their autumnal 

 migration. What sort of weather should Alma- 

 nac colmnns display, when, (as frequently hap- 

 pens,) one part of the country, for which a diary 

 is calculated, is parched with drought and another 



part at the same moment deluged with rain.'

ON THE MIXING OF FRUIT. 



Mr Editor — I have, growing in my garden, 

 contiguous to each other, two trees, of the peach 

 kind, one j)roducing white cling stones, the other 

 yellow peaches, both of them springing from 

 stones, planted where the trees stand. I do not 

 know by what names they should be particularly 

 distinguished. The fruit ripens about the same 

 time, to wit, the early part of September. The 

 trees both bore quite full in 1827 — 8, in both of 

 which years I gathered quite a number of clin-' 



for THE NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



LYSCOM APPLE. 



Wm. Prince, Esq. 



Dear Sir— Yours of the 13th inst. was duly re- 

 ceived, and I have complied with your request so 

 far as circumstances would permit. Tha scions la- 

 belled No. 1, are scions of the ^^ Mi core," and "JVo 

 blossom," they are sprouts from the, body of the 

 tree above where it waS engrafted, as the pwner 

 informed me ; the tree is so near dead, that no 

 other ran be had from it. If I can procure some 

 from Medfield, before it is too late, I will forward 

 them. No. 2, are " Lyscom," a large striped ap- 

 ple, ripe in October, equal to any that I have 

 tastcd-^said to be a native of a farm in South- 

 borough, formerly owned by a man of the name 

 of Lyscom, hence its natne. I have ho^seen it 

 in any catalogue of api)les— in fact, it is but little 

 known, considering its merits. 

 Yours respectfully,

QUERIES. 



Mr Editor — As the N. E. Farmer-Is the me- 

 dium through which much valuable information is 

 circulated, I regret that it is not in my power at 

 this time to transmit to you the result of some 

 successful experiments for the benefit of yoiu- 

 readers, instead of requesting answers to certain 

 in(piiries which I take the liberty of requesting 

 you to insert in the New England Farmer. 



1. Will diflfjient kinds of fruit trees, such as 

 apples, peaches, pears, cherries, plums, &c. flourish 

 and bear fruit well, if set promiscuously in one 

 orchard. 



2. Does the cominon red idierry of New En"-- 

 land furnish good stocks, on which to engraft the 

 different varieties of the cherry, and if so, should 

 they be used as standards, or grafted near the 

 root. 



3. Will pears succeed as well engrafted on the 

 common thorn bush as on seedlings, and if so 

 should the scions be inserted near the root or 

 otherwise. j)_ 



Lyme, (Ct.) Sept. 17th 1829. 



Mammoth Fruits, Sfc — A pippin apple, from a 

 farm in Little Compton, R. I. weighed 20 ounces 

 and measured 15 inches round. Mr Josiab W. 

 Green, of Nashua Village, Dunstable, N. H. has 

 raised a squash this season which weighs 128 lbs. 

 and measures 6 feet round the middle. 



The demand for straw pa[)er in Pennsylvania is 

 great. Mr Shreyer, of Chamliersburg, advertises 

 fir 1000 tons of oat, rye, barley and wheat straw. 

 The mills have been increased in size and number.
