Tlie Small Fruit Cullurlst, by A. S. Fuller. 
The first work devoted exclusively to Small Fruits 
in this or auy country was the one of which the 
title is given above. The eminent Doct. Lucas, at 
the head of the leading school of horticulture in 
Germany, found this work so well adapted to the 
needs of European fruit growers, that, immediately 
after receiving it, he wrote for permission to trans¬ 
late it into German, a request which was complied 
with, and it is now the European, as it has been 
the American standard work. With a view to 
SILOS—ENSILAGE. 
Do you want to learn all abtftit the Making ol 
Silos and the Preservation of Crops in a fresh 
green state through the winter months—then you 
should purchase Dr. George Thurber’s Volume, 
alluded to elsewhere in this paper. He is the 
recognized American authority on all such 
Rifles, Shot-Guns, Pistols, 
bring the work up to the present time, and abreast 
with the progress that has been made since it first 
appeared, the author has thoroughly revised, and 
wherever it was necessary, rewritten the volume, 
thus making it essentially a new work. Those who 
intend to set out plantations of small fruits, whether 
for market or for home use, should be aware of the 
great advantages of fall planting. In the climate 
of the Northern States, the soil is in the best con¬ 
dition for planting, in autumn, and the general 
weather of the fall months allows the plants to be¬ 
come well established before cold weather sets in. 
The work can be much better done during the 
autumn weather, than in the cold, wet days of our 
uncertain springs. To all who would plant any of 
the small fruits, this work comes as a most season¬ 
able guide. Of course in such a work the prin¬ 
cipal changes must be in discarding old varieties 
and in noticing the new ones. In this respect the 
information here given will be found quite up to 
the present time. Published by the Orange Judd 
Company. Post-paid, $1.50. 
Painting; Made Faster and Cheaper.— 
A little paint on the dwelling, and its surroundings— 
outbuildings, fences, etc.—will add to the salable value 
of any place, however small, many times the cost of the 
paint. Implements, tools, fences, indeed any wood¬ 
work exposed to rain, or dew, and sun, will remain 
effective at least twice as long on the average, if pro¬ 
tected by paint.—“Division of Labor,” is accomplish¬ 
ing in the line of painting what it is doing in almost 
every other industry. It is not necessary now to call 
in the skill of a long experienced mixer of paints, 
with his array of cans, grinding stones, pigments, 
oils, driers, etc., and have him spend half the day in 
getting ready to begin. A large establishment, using 
steam power, with few employees, now does all the work 
formerly done in a thousand separate paint shops, and 
does it far better, in the way of perfect grinding, mix¬ 
ing, and toning. Thousands of pounds are ground, 
toned, and made all ready for instant application at one 
operation. Instead of half a score or more of cans or 
parcels, the painter can now open a keg, large or small, 
take out the needed quantity, and, with brush in hand, 
set to work at once. It is even said that the saving of 
small cans and packing will pay a fair profit to the manu¬ 
facturing establishments. The manufacturers, having 
prepared a large amount of each shade and quality, apply 
it upon sample cards which are numbered and sent 
to purchasers, with estimates of the quantity required 
for each hundred square feet of surface, for one, 
two, or three coatings. It is therefore only necessary 
to order a can, keg, or barrel, of any particular color 
or shade and quality desired, giving the number of the 
sample card. As the paint is all ready, for ordinary 
plain work many people can apply it themselves, almost 
as easily as a coat of whitewash ; or employ an ordinary 
painter, who can do a full day’s work in putting it on. 
It will be obvious to any one, that paints thus prepared 
by wholesale, and by steam power, can be furnished at 
much lower rates for the same quality. The II. W. 
Johns’ Manufacturing Co., whose card is usually found 
in our advertising columns, is one of the most extensive 
makers of ready mixed paint in this country. One of 
their specialties is the “ Asbestos Paint,” which we 
have referred to in former numbers.
