FRUIT GROWING IN WISCONSIN.

of whale-oil soap and tobacco water. 
The next day we heard the Doctor recommend¬ 
ing plum growers to make troughs of water under 
their trees, as the cheapest and wisest way of sav¬ 
ing their plums. If Mr. Fitch will obtain twenty- 
live plum trees, and tike care of them for ten 
years, he will be able to talk moch more wisely

Dear Rural: —A young man (in Rural of 
January 7) wishes to gain some information in 
regard to Shawano Co., Wis.,—whether fruit will 
succeed there, &c. The south line of Shawano 
Co. is forty miles north of this city, (Oshkosh;) 
and as that county cannot be favorable to the 
growth of fruit that will not grow hereabouts, I 
will give him the benefit of nine years' experience 
in growing fruit here. 
Peach trees grow very fast, and by covering in 
the winter can be kept in good order for three or 
four years; after that, as they are too largo to 
cover, they will, kill down in the winter, and 
sprout from the roots every spring for two or 
three years, and finally freeze out. Pears do not 
do well. They grow well in the summer, but tho 
frequent freezing and thawing during our Wis¬ 
consin winters, crack the bark, and in three or 
four years kill the tree. That is my experience 
with pears. 
Most kinds of apples do well, though I have 
lost several trees in the same way my pears were 
killed. Tho common red cherry bears profusely 
here, but the light check and dark cherry do not 
bear well and are short-lived,

Rev. Du. Cuylek, of Now York, in a letter ad¬ 
dressed to the Christian Intelligencer somo time 
ago, makes some practical suggestions in refer¬ 
ence to the value of the kitchen department in all 
institutions for the education of young Indies.— 
We make the following extract alluding to a fe¬ 
male seminary ho had just visited.: 
"They have good teachers of all the stereo¬ 
typed studies of ladies’seminaries; but, In add!* 
tion to all these, the college graduates its girls also 
from the kitchen. Each pupil is required to spend 
a certain time of each day in housework and 
In practical cookery. Premiums are bestowed 
for skill in housewifery, as well as for skill in 
painting landscapes, or solving problems, As a 
matter of good morals, as well as of economy, 
every woman should be an expert housekeeper.— 
Because the Divine Teacher gently reproved 
Martha for excessive carefulness, I am persuaded 
that he did not mean to discourage the womanly 
tact and training which fit. their possessor to guide 
a household well. To fashionable girls in those 
days a larder or a kitchen are as unknown regions 
as Dr. Livingstone's new found jungles and lakes 
in Central Africa. Yet these young ladies, who 
are so much above housekeeping, do not seem to

unusually small, and the collection is never large.

It is strange 
meeting, if they grow decent apples, don't bring 
them for exhibition. Ei.t.wanoer A Barky made 
a due display with winter pears,—about 50 varie¬ 
ties,—and these were the most attractive part of 
the Exhibition. Beside tins collection, there 
were only a dish or two of pears. The same gen¬ 
tlemen exhibited about the same number of 
apples. There were several other small collec¬ 
tions of apples,—probably fifty or sixty plates in 
all. Some one — Judge Cheevbr, we believe,— 
made an interesting display of well-grown pota¬ 
toes, the most striking feature of which were some 
26 varieties of Goodriehe'a Seedlings. A few 
specimens of native wine and preserved fruits, 
made up the meagre collection of horticultural 
products, which, but for the one lot named, would 
have been poor enough. 
On Wednesday evening, Dr. Fitch, the well- 
known Entomologist, delivered a Lecture on the 
Curculio and tho Black Knot on Plum and Cherry 
Trcep. When this Lecture was announced, we had 
some faint hopes that we would derive from it 
valuable information that would enable ns to save 
our plums without so much trouble as their pres¬ 
ervation now costs. We expressed this hope to 
some of our Bornological friends, who only looked, 
without expressing their doubts. Perhaps they 
thought they knew as much about the curoulio as 
the Doctor. 
Mr. Fitcii said the enreulio bad been in his 
thoughts, and haJ occupied much of his time, the 
past year. He considered it the most destructive 
insect we have in our country. The wheat midge 
had done more injury the few past years, but he 
thought its parasite would master it. The cur- 
culio, unlike other injurious insects, was a native 
of the country. It had been known for one hun¬ 
dred years, and yet its ravages bad not been 
checked. We had evidence, from Baktkam and 
others, that in 1806 it. destroyed the nectarines 
around Philadelphia, but did not injure the plums. 
It afterward attacked the plums, and finally 
cherries, apples and pears. All the Agricultural 
Journals contain articles describing this insect 
and its habits; and yet if is not generally known 
where it keeps itself three-fourths of the year. It 
is known that the insect deposits an egg in the 
young fruit, which falls, and the maggot makes its 
way into the ground, and in three weeks it is 
ready to come out a perfect beetle. But wbat 
becomes of it until the next June, was a very 
The Doctor was of opinion, 
All kinds of plums 
do well; our winters do not seem to affect the 
plum. All but, the hardiest kiuds of grapes have 
to he covered iu the winter. The vine bears 
profusely, but the grapes are not as large as the 
same kinds are iu New York. The Clinton grape 
is not affected by the winters. The Isabella kills 
down about every fifth winter. 
Small fruits, such as currants, gooseberries, 
strawberries and raspberries, succeed as well as 
could be desired. 1 grow the black raspberry, 
(taken from the woods near the lake,) and I have 
not failed of having a good crop but ouo year in 
seven; that year was an exceeding dry year. I 
have two varieties of red raspberries, and the 
yellow Antwerp. They all bear well. 
Our friend may not know that Shawano county 
is a pine county; and his eighty acres may be 
covered with a heavy growth of pine that will 
have to he cut oil' and sent down to this market,

it will be good farming land, when the pine is off, 
is a question that he can answer better by coming

A. H. Raymond, 
TO RENOVATE AN OLD APPLE ORCHARD, 
In plain view of where lam now writing, is an 
old orchard of name Bixty trees, which were 
planted more than forty years ago. The trees 
were allowed to follow the dictates of nature.— 
‘The ground has been plowed and cropped a few 
times, but rnoBt of the time it has Iain in pasture, 
and no manure of any kind lias over been applied. 
Some twenty-five years ago, more than half the 
trees were grafted, mostly with winter fruit, but 
the brunches of the old stock were suffered to 
remain, to the great damage of the grafted fruit. 
There still remained 24 trees which had never 
been grafted, and having fallen into tiTher hands, 
the proprietor, m the spring of 1855, employed 
two young men to graft them with winter russets, 
which they accomplished in little more than one 
day. In four years’ time, (Oct., 1859,) the owner 
gathered eighteen barrels of us handsome winter 
russets as I ever saw, beside what windfalls were 
devoured by cattle, hogs and horses. The good 
fruit he sold for $1 25 per barrel, (the barrels 
were furnished,) amounting to $22 50, which was 
sufficient to pay for the labor of grafting several 
times over, and 1 see not why these twenty-l'our 
trees, if well cared for, may not produce the same 
good fruit for forty years to come.

important question, 
from his own observations, that what was known 
of the curculio was only a small part of its history, 
and that if there was no young fruit it would not 
be discommoded, but would live on and prosper. 
They are found upon the plum, cherry, thorn, 
apple and butternut.. Those upon the butternut 
are larger than those upon other trees, showing 
that this tree is congenial to them. They are 
plenty until autumn, at which time they may he 
found in great numbers upon the golden rod. 
They generally appear three weeks before there is 
any young fruit in which they can deposit, their 
eggs. Horae of them appear to he epicures, and 
choose the best fruit, while others, from choice or 
necessity, are content with the apple and other 
more common fruits. The non-productiveness of 
apple orchards was chargeable to the curculio. 
The Doctor combated the idea of Harris, that 
the curculio that appears in the spring iB the late 
crop that has remained dormant in the ground 
from the July previous, as he thinks tho heat 
of August would certainly mature them. He 
believes they are hatched in due time, and in the 
absence of fruit in proper condition for their use, 
deposit their eggs iu the under hark of the apple, 
pear, butternut, Ac., and in the black knot excres¬ 
cences on the plum and the cherry limbs. Mr. 
Langwokthy, of Rochester, sent him*some apple 
bark, on which was plainly visible the crescent 
mark of the curculio. It was also plainly seen on 
the butternut bark. The thorn apple, falling from 
the hush in early winter, often contains the egg 
of the curculio. These remain dormant until the 
warm weather of spring, as doubtless do those 
that are laid iu the bark late in the season. Many 
of the matured beetles, no doubt, shelter them¬ 
selves lot the winter in crevices of the hark and 
other snug places, where they remain dormant. 
The black knot was a disease analagous to can¬ 
cer in the human system, yielding only to similar 
severe treatment. 
The Doctor summed up the subject by stating 
that there we re three generations of the curculio 
during the season. The earliest, no doubt, de- 
posite their eggs in the teuder hark of the young 
shoots before the fruit appeared. Many of the 
last crop were overtaken with the cold and sought 
shelter in the crevices of the bark. Some of the 
worms had entered the ground so lute as to 
remain dormant until hatched by spring warmth, 
while others doubtless remain in the bark of trees 
in the larva state. 
No parasite had been found to prey upon this 
insect until within a few months. D. W. Beadle, 
of St Catharines, sent him some llies which he 
supposed caused the black-knot. On examining 
these, he found them to be a curculio parasite — a 
black, ichneumon fly, with yellow legs and a 
bristle-like sting, with which it deposits an egg in 
the curculio worm. 
Of the remedies for this insect, Mr. Fitch had 
nothing new to offer. He spoke of shaking the 
trees, but not w'ith much confidence, as he said it 
sometimes failed, and the process bruised the 
bark and injured the tree. If the Doctor had 
more experience he -would not talk so. Another

FRUIT TREES AND THE WINTER. 
The effects of the extreme cold upon the vitality 
of fruit trees, seems not yet to he fully realized. 
Whether it is the cold, or tho sudden changes of 
heut and cold in winter, or the bleak winds of 
spring, and late frosts, that so much of late damage 
the trees, and what remedy or preventive can 
he applied, is still open to observation and expe¬ 
rience. Last March, I had occasion to remove 
from a distance, to my garden, two pear trees, of 
my own planting and grafting some fourteen years 
since, and having Bet them out, I wound their 
main trunks with ropes of straw, as a protectiou 
from the heat of the sun iu summer and of the 
cold in winter, during their acclimation. 1 trim¬ 
med them severely and anchored them firmly, and 
watched them closely dui ing the summer and fall. 
One w ithstood the transplanting and its incidents 
well, and the other, though not doing as well, put 
forth foliage, and, up to the beginning of winter, 
appeared to he in living condition, with a fair 
prospect of surviving its transplantation. Since 
the cold weather of 16 degrees below zero, I 
examined them again. Tho first tree referred to 
that grew the best, is uninjured, but of tho last, the 
whole limbs and top, down to the straw, ia entirely 
dead, but under the straw it appears uninjured. 
Query. —If I had also wound with straw the main 
branches and limbs, would it have saved the 
whole tree-? and if so, ought not the fact to be 
heeded? S. N. Holmes.

think this will be found satisfactory.—A Minne¬

and mostly all the European kinds are rejected, 
among which are all Myalls seedlings; and, when 
we find that Nicholson's May Queen is described 
as of fine flavor, Omar Pacha very large and beau¬ 
tiful, and Sir C. Napier as a late kind, we cannot 
place much confidence in their display of judg¬ 
ment, or the correctness of the description of 
other kinds. 
We have also before us a circular respecting a 
new Strawberry, named Downer’s Prolific -Seed¬ 
ling. from J. S. Downer, a nurseryman near Elk- 
ton, Todd county, Ky. This wonderful Strawberry 
is reported to be “ten times as productive as any 
of the 100 varieties cultivated in that vicinity, 
averaging 123 berries to each single plant, and of 
course, iu size and flavor, equal to any other variety 
in cultivation, and not to he sent out till 25,000 
plants are ordered;” so Mr. Downer intends, if 
possible, to be on the safe side, as it Is coming out 
at a very high price, accompanied with a deal of 
puff; and all who may think fit to favor Mr. Dow¬ 
ner with an order will have to pay about £7 for 
100 plants.

selves whether it is all gospel that our American 
friends set forth; as for ourselves, wc think no
