War ill ail Apple Barrel. —Just as 
we are closing the last pages of this issue, we learn that 
the fruit dealers in Niagara and Orleans Counties, N. Y., 
have issued a circular to the apple growers, as follows:— 
“We desire to state that on and after the first day of 
October next, we will not buy fruit in barrels of any less 
size than the present flour barrel, which is made of staves 
twenty-eight and one-half inches long, with a seventeen- 
inch head, and a bilge of sixty-four inches in circumfer¬ 
ence—and our reasons for such a course are as follows: 
For the past few years, we have, in common with the 
whole trade, sulTered severe loss not only through poorly 
packed apples, but inferior and very small barrels, which 
wholly puts our fruit outside of the export trade. Itcosts 
no more to transport a full-sized barrel by railroad, canal, 
or ocean steamer, than a small one, which fact enables 
the buyer to pay a greater price for fruit packed in full- 
sized packages.”—The dealers, of course, have a right to 
buy or not to buy, as they please. And the farmers have 
a right to use the present legal apple barrels, holding 
one hundred quarts, if they think best. To accuse the 
farmers and fruit growers of Western New York of 
“ stinginess,” because they use the legal barrel, is en¬ 
tirely uncalled for. The dealers have been hasty in their 
action. They over-estimate their power if they think 
they can dictate terms to the farmers. So far as we have 
hoard, however, the farmers and fruit growers have not 
the slightest objection to using the flour barrel size. 
Why should they have ? Tire only question is whether 
the dealers will or will not pay an increased price for an 
increased barrel of good fruit. 
ISydiraiiilic ISn,m or Water 
Kam.—This is an apparatus whereby at little expense 
a constant stream of water from a brook, spring, or pond 
can be made automatically to pump a small jmrtion of 
the water to any desired higlit, within one hundred to 
one hundred and fifty feet. The essentials are a supply 
that will fill say an inch pipe, and a fall of five to eiglit 
feet, within a short distance. Any first-class agricultural 
implement or pnmp house will send circulars with full 
explanations, giving prices for rams of dltferent sizes, 
piping, etc.
