relieved of all grass or weeds. Every weed should 
be at once buried, which will destroy all the seeds 
not perfectly ripe, and furnish excellent manure for 
the trees. 
In spading round trees it should be observed that 
the tree occupies, or desires to occupy, a large area; 
very little spading round the trunk does very little 
good. The roots reach out for nourishment and 
have a good title to all the land they need. I will 
mention a fact. My friend, Mr. II tram D. Crosby, 
of Leicester, Livingston Co., N. Y., had occasion to 
excavate for a well, and found an apple tree root 30 
feet from the tree to which it belonged, and more 
than an inch through at that place. I measured the 
ground, and we had not the least doubt the roots of 
that tree extended more than forty feet, each way, 
from the tree. This shows the absurdity of digging 
round the trunk of a tree about half the size of a 
ladies' hoop skirt, and putting all the manure—I beg 
pardon for mentioning that subject in that connec¬ 
tion—within the same circumference. 
What remains for roe is to ask if farmers have 
any conscientious scruples about expending labor 
where it will pay best? If not, they will dig and 
dung their trees, and next year plow the whole 
land, unless a steep side-hill, and put it to a hoed 
crop, and hoe it thoroughly.— h. t. b. 
should not be so, because the means to get correct 
information is within the reach of all. 
Every person that has 2& bushels of apples to pick 
8houldhave a canvas or slieet. He will save enough 
that will drop in picking, to pay the cost of it. Last 
season I bought some Qolden Sweets on the trees. 
I prepared a sheet to pick them, in the morning I 
took the barrels aboard, went one and a half miles 
to the orchard, and with five lads, that were glad to 
work for two to four shillings a day and board 
themselves, we picked, barrelled up in good order, 
and delivered at the station, two and a half miles 
from the orchard, eighteen barrels in a day. I pre¬ 
sume two barrels of these apples were saved from 
being the same as windfalls, by having a sheet, 
I will endeavor to give a description ot the sheet. 
I took enough factory sheeting to make a Rquare 
about fourteen feet. Basted it together with wrap¬ 
ping twine. It took two clothes lines to bind the 
rim of this sheet, to keep it from tearing and the 
apples from rolling off. At each corner about two 
feet of the lines were left loose to form slip-loops to 
hold the sheet upon the stakes. Tn the center 
should be a half-inch hole bound with Htrong, thin 
leather. It recpiires four corner stakes, six and a 
half feet long, some notches in the upper end for the 
slip-loop of the line to hold in, and at the other end 
steel spikes three-fourths of an inch in diameter, 
tapered to a point, to drive into the ground. A 
center stake five feet long, with a spike in one end 
and a half-inch bolt in the other, to hold up the cen¬ 
ter of the sheet, and cause the apples to roll to the 
rim, handy to he taken off, completes it. My prac¬ 
tice was to spread the sheet under that part of the 
tree to be picked, clear of the ground, and send two 
lands into the center of the tree, and two more on 
ladders to pick from the outer branches, dropping 
the fruit on the sheet. All the fruit over the sheet 
that drops and don’t hit a limb, is safer from injury 
than it would be laid into a basket. Myself and one 
lad sorted the fruit, and got it ready for carting to 
the station. 
“ I used a press for heading up barrels, made in this 
manner:—Take one and a half-inch plank of light 
timber, some ten feet long, set a standard in one end, 
having a mortise or strap of iron for a lever to work 
in. The lower side of the lever should he four 
inches above tho barrel when standing on the 
plank—a round stick, one foot long and four inches 
in diameter, with one side hewed off sufficient to 
have it lie steady on the head of the barrel. Fill the 
barrel, shaking it frequently while tilling, till the 
apples are a little above the edge of the chine. 
The apples will be dented a little when tho lever 
brings the head to its place, but will be less injured 
than those that are loose, and much more satisfac¬ 
tory in market. Apples intended for market should

have iiad in this, and we earnestly recommend all travelers 
who may ever happen to bo within one hundred miles of the 
Isle of Wight, in either the spring, summer or autumn time, 
to take the necessary time for a visit. No wonder that it is 
Victoria’s favorite home. 
“Agriculturally considered, tho Isle of Wight presents but 
HttJo that is worthy of notice. The soil is variable—in some 
parts of tho island a deep hard clay, in others a calcareous 
and (iinty gravel. The crops are evidently not very large, 
though the cultivation is good. A number of tile factories 
supply good tile for thorough drainage. Of all public im¬ 
provements, tho roads appeared to as tho most remarkable. 
They are mostly narrow, but the smoothest and handsomest 
we ever saw, Inclosed with beautiful greeu hedges all tho 
way, substantially macadamized, with a surface as smooth as 
any sanded garden walk, and, furthermore, without any of 
those miserable ditches which make most roads in America 
so unpleasant and unsafe. They afforded ua constant pleasure, 
and mndo our afternoon pedestriauatiou of fourteen miles 
seem but a single hour’s promenade in some delightful park.” 
The question is often asked whether the Spring 
or Autumn is the best time to put out Strawberries. 
There is really but little difference. If prepared to 
do the work now, we would not wait until Spring; 
and if neglected in the Autumn, it should be done 
in the Spring as soon as possible. Strawberries 
may be set out at any time from the breaking up of 
frost in the Spring until the ground is again frozen, 
and if done with care, nearly all will live. Those 
who want but a small bed, and will give them the 
necessary attention, may therefore do the work at 
any time when they can obtain good plants. But, 
during the hot, dry weather of August, transplant¬ 
ing is somewhat troublesome, if done well; and if 
not, the greater part of the plants may die. There 
is very little difference between April or May and 
September, except in this respect—plants put out 
now will give a partial crop next Summer; but, if 
set in the Spring, there will be no trait of value the 
first season, 
Those who desire a crop of fruit in 
1863 from the beds which are set this fall, should 
make the soil very rich and deep, and a light cov¬ 
ering of leaves or straw will he a great protection 
in the winter. The leaves will act as a fine manure, 
and are preferable in this respect; hut if the soil is 
rich enough, the straw has this advantage—in the 
Spring it should be removed from the plants and 
placed between the rows, where it will act as a 
mulch, keeping the ground moist and cool and the 
berries clean. 
The proper distance for planting is about a foot 
apart in the rows, and the rows from two to 
two and a half feet Nothing is more perplexing 
than a strawberry bed turned into a mass of weeds 
and runners. As a general thing, such a bed should 
be destroyed and a new one started. Then take 
pains to prevent the new bed from getting in the 
same condition. Cut off all runners as soon as they 
appear, so as to throw the whole strength of the 
plant into the fruit, and you will get a good crop of 
large, excellent fruit. If you want a quart or two 
of extraordinary size, to astonish your neighbors or 
for exhibition, as soon as the fruit sets pick off from 
several of the strongest plants all but three or four 
of the largest berries. Hoe and fork thoroughly, to 
keep down the weeds and keep the soil loose. We 
do think that forking ajid hoeing injures the roots 
somewhat, but not half so much as weeds and a 
hard baked soil. The strawberry plant, while the 
fruit is forming, requires a good deal of water, and 
the size of the fruit will depend in a great measure 
upon the quantity it can obtain for its use. If, 
therefore, a great quantity of weeds are allowed to 
grow in the bed and suck up the moisture, or even 
more strawberry plants than can obtain the required 
moisture, the fruit will be small, seedy, and com¬ 
paratively worthless, and if there should happen 
to be a “dry spell,” the crop will dry up and be¬ 
come shriveled and hard, and never ripen. Last 
season we Raw a score of such cases, where the crop 
was literally ruined for want of water, when, if the 
beds bad contained only one-quarter the number of 
plants and no weeds, a fair crop might have been 
obtained. This is the reason why mulching is so 
beneficial to the strawberry, for it holds the water, 
preventing it running off as it would from a hard 
surface, giving it time to soak into the earth, and it 
also shades the ground from the hard suu, retarding 
evaporation, and keeping it cool and moist. If any 
one wishes to be fully satisfied of the effect of water 
in strawberry culture, let him select a small bed, 
and as soon as the fruit is set, give a good soaking 
every day, or even twice a day, night and morning, 
and he will not only obtain fruit of nearly double 
the ordinary size, but a much larger quantity, whilo 
the plants will continue to blossom and give fruit 
from two to three weeks longer than plants that 
receive no artificial watering. We do not of course 
recommend this plan of watering in all cases, but 
we do say, that where it can be done without too ranch 
trouble and expense, it will be found profitable; and 
we ask amateurs to give it a trial. Our object, at this 
time, however, is only to show that the straw¬ 
berry plant requires a great deal of water, and that 
we should endeavor to meet this requirement by 
destroying all robbers of this element, as all weeds 
are, and the necessity of saving all that naturally 
falls on the soil, by proper mulching. 
After a strawberry bed has fruited one year, if 
you wish it to bear well the next, give it, in Octo¬ 
ber, a thorough dressing with well rotted manure; 
and if it has been composted with sods, muck, Ac., 
all the better. This should be done thoroughly; 
not a little on the surface, to deceive the eye, hut 
several inohes, that the plants can feel and feast 
upon. Let this remain exposed to all the fall rains,

Goliath is a large, round plum, skin a deep red, 
and very prettily mottled with green and brown, 
almost covered with fine dots. 
It is now about the time to commence blanching cel 
ery, at least that which was planted early, and design¬ 
ed for fall and early winter use. It is best not to 
commence too soon, aud yet enough earth should be 
drawn towards the plants to keep the leaves erect, 
as if they are allowed to straggle at will, many will 
be broken in the work of blanching. If the plants 
are held tightly together while the earth is drawn 
towards them, this will answer a good purpose, and 
is the common way; but a correspondent of the Lon¬ 
don Gardeners' Chronicle some time since recom¬ 
mended the use of saw dust for this purpose, as he 
found it to answer better than any other material, 
and was especially valuable tor the late crops to be 
kept during the winter. lie says: 
“ Having bail some trouble in keeping late celery 
from rotting in a uow kitchen garden, where the soil 
was very retentive and damp, and the plants earthed 
up in the usual manner, I have since used sawdust 
for the purpose, and find that it answers perfectly. 
Last winter all the late celery was earthed up with 
sawdust, and it kept quite sound till April, and no 
slugs or insects attacked it underground, the heads 
being very solid, clear, and crisp, and well flavored. 
I had some doubts that the sawdust from resinous 
trees might give the celery a disagreeable flavor, but 
on trial I found this not to be the case, and the saw¬ 
dust is now taken indiscriminately from the sawpits, 
where different kinds of trees are sawn up. Before 
the late severe frost occurred in October, I had just 
finished the earthing up of all the late celery with 
sawdust, and 1 find it is now wonderfully fresh, the 
frost not having penetrated far through Ihe surface 
to the hearts," 
Another correspondent recommends charred earth 
in preference to sawdust, “as it will not only answer 
the purpose as well, but will allow the rain water to 
percolate more freely to the roots of the plants, and 
be of infinite service to a soil of a damp, retentive 
nature.” The sawdust he thinks will induce an 
injurious growth of fungi in the soil. 
These 
are permitted to creep off almost indefinitely, so that 
the surface is occasionally seen quite covered by an 
interlacing net-work of vines, as complex as a melon 
bed. On the hard ground, basking on bits of rough 
limestone, the berries lie securely, undisturbed by 
sudden blasts of the storm; swelling aud ripening 
beyoud any examples here or in Europe, even 
under the best auspices of the gardener. 
Here is a point that is deemed of transcendent 
importance in reference to vineyard planting at the 
West. Missouri, an immense tract of prairie in 
Eastern and Western Kansas, and very choice sec¬ 
tions of Nebraska, are yet to be the great wine¬ 
making regions of North America, on this side of 
the Rocky Mountains. Tho prairies are not under¬ 
stood even by Western farmers. Valuable as are 
their crops, when the vine is systematically planted 
on them, as they will be, one single acre will yield 
a far greater return in a single season, than ten 
ever did in wheat, corn, or other familiar products. 
The Syrian method places the cluster beyond the 
contingency of sweeping winds, tho first obstacle to 
contend against in raising vines on poles, Rhine 
fashion, or giving them the look of clothes-lines, as 
throughout Italy. At Herman, on the Missouri 
River, where Prussian vine dressers are thriving by 
making admirable hock, 1 feel convinced their 
profits would be enhanced by simply introducing 
the Palestine system. 
It is because the writer foresees in the future how 
this successful branch of industry is to flourish on 
the far-extending prairies, that he dwells with more 
force and pertinacity on this, in his view, great sub¬ 
ject. Following the simple but, in all respects, 
safest course on flat sections of the country, or 
rather where a sudden blast of wind, from acting 
against the swinging cluster, either breaks it oil' or 
blights the berries, the happiest results would follow. 
Such is the bounty of the harvest in Syria always, 
and it must have been so for ages, that the writer 
has had wine, rich, luscious, and nutritious, on the 
table in Jerusalem, which could be afforded at 
fifteen cents a gallon. The juice was pressed out 
by exceedingly rude apparatus, the grapes having 
first been brought from villages by the Arabs. 
And there is no reason why the same economy 
might not be practiced here.”

GATHERING AND PACKING FRUITS, 
Our large fruit crop is now ripening; plums are 
abundant in our market, fall apples are being sent 
away in large quantities, and fruit dealers are just 
now well supplied with early peaches. From the 
present time until late in the autumn the fruit grow¬ 
ers will be busy picking and shipping their crops of 
fruit; and a few hints on this subject will at least be 
timely. As a general thing, this work is done in a 
careless, slovenly manner; the main object appa¬ 
rently being to save time, rather than to have the 
fruit so picked aud packed that it will reach market 
in the best possible condition, and sell at a high 
price. We learned this bad habit when fruit was 
cheap, hardly worth the gathering; and now when 
good fruit, if properly picked and packed for ship¬ 
ping, will sell at a good price, and when an acre in 
fruit will bring the farmer more cash than five in 
any other crop, it is difficult to cease to do evil and 
learn to do well. 
All fruit should be picked by hand, with the stems 
attached where this is possible. If of a soft nature, 
like peaches, tkey should be placed in broad, shal¬ 
low basketB, the bottoms of which have been covered 
with paper to prevent bruising. Any braised spot 
will decay very soon; and those who buypeacheB 
know that it is almost impossible to find a basket of 
ripe fruit one-half of which is sound. With pears, 
quite as much care is necessary; for, as they ripen 
Blower, a braised spot is sure to prove quite a detri¬ 
ment. An old correspondent, an extensive grower 
aB well as buyer of fruits, some time since sent us 
the following, which we commend to the attentio 11 
of fruit, growers: 
“ Last season I bought and shipped some apples 
and pears to Boston market. My principal object 
was to help formers and fruit growers get their sum¬ 
mer fruit to market, and prepare tho way for my 
grape crop that I wished to go to a company in 
Fanueil Hall Market, Boston. Frequently was it 
the case when a car load of apples arrived there, the 
most of them in prime order, that a few barrels 
being put up in bad order, the whole car load was 
subjected to a discount of twenty-five cents on a 
barrel. There went all I had labored for, namely, 
the nett profits. Why ? Because some fruit grow¬ 
ers were so covetous they wanted everything that 
was in the shape of fruit on the trees to count. 
And in some cases the windfalls, too. Now, it 
A WORD FOR THE TREES 
Many a tree, innocent of any crime, is to-day 
seriously embarrassed in circumstances. Ground 
given up to weeds and grass, exhausted of its fer¬ 
tility, hard as a brick and dry as a powder house, is 
deemed good enough for a tree. Nobody else is ex¬ 
pected to “make brick without straw.” Squash, 
the butt of every fool’s ridicule, nevertheless receives 
many evidences of respectful consideration; pro¬ 
tected from all enemies with a soft bed, and abund¬ 
antly nourished, it has comparatively an easy time 
of it; but a tree bearing fruit delicious as the odor 
of flowers, or foliage that would lend new charms to 
Paradise, makes its way through sternest difficulties. 
Must these things be? 1 speak particularly to 
farmers who have a time for every thing but the 
cultivation of trees. At a fixed period they get up 
their fire wood, get out their manure, repair fences, 
plow, plant, hoe their corn, potatoes, and beans; - 
these things are all luid down in their well observed 
programme. Will any body be so kind as to tell me 
what season is set aside, by uuiversal custom, lor 
attending to the orchard and the ornamental trees? 
Aud yet farmers are beginning to make large calcu¬ 
lations about the money they are to receive for 
apples aud other fruit. I should think every dollar 
received in that way would be a spectre to haunt 
them for neglected duty. 
It is rather late to talk of this matter now, but 
every neglected tree should be at once attended to. 
There is still a period of growth, and an impover¬ 
ished tree should make the very most of it; besides, 
cultivating the land now prepares for an early 
growth in the spring. All trees standing in grass 
ground; all trees standing in wheat, oats, barley, or 
pea stubble, and unspaded-about, should be at once 
THE PLUM CROP 
We have an unusual crop of plums this season in 
Western New York. Almost every tree is loaded 
with Iruit, and those who have cared for their trees, 
as well as those who have entirely neglected them, 
are reaping a rich harvest. For more than ten 
years past, plum orchards that have been properly 
treated, have yielded good crops, with the exception 
ot last season, when the blossoms were destroyed 
by unseasonable weather and some frost; but now 
every old and neglected tree seems to be doing its 
best, and succeeding in producing an abundaut 
crop. Ellwanuer «fc Barry have about ahundred 
seedling plums bearing this year, and about twenty 
of these, we judge, will prove worthy of propaga¬ 
tion, and several will make very valuable additions 
to our stock of this fine froit. Some of them are 
quite early; and for this reason, as well as for other 
good qualities, will prove desirable. As the pro¬ 
prietors wish to test them another season before 
deciding upon their merits, we give no description 
of those which seem most worthy; but next year 
hope to give accurate descriptions and engravings 
of some of the best. 
Our note-book contains a great deal of matter 
gathered in the plum orchards of this vicinity, and 
which we may some time give our readers, but space 
at present prevents, and we will name only a few 
good varieties.

A.v American Agricultural Editor in England.— The 
editor of the Wisconsin Farmer is traveling in Europe, and 
we give some extracts from his account of a visit, to the 
beautiful Islo of Wight: — “The grounds of the Osborne 
estate of the Queen, including the farm, embrace about 2.000 
acres. They are inclosed with a paling of thin boards, up¬ 
right and lapped, so as to shut out all hope of obtrusive 
peepings-in from the profane world without Entrance can 
only be effected through one of two massive Iron gates, set 
in the arches of handsome stone ‘lodges,’ occupied by the 
porters and their families. Furthermore, lest, some inquisitive 
plebiau should venture to bribe the porter, armed guards are 
stationed to patrol the walks and carefully watch. We did so 
far ingratiate ourself vdth the porter and guard, however, as 
to get partial admission to the grounds, barns, &c.—objects 
of much greater interest to us, professionally, than even Her

are tastefully laid out, and have beautiful gravel walks and
