that, when tied in a bunch, they gracefully

SAMPLES AND COMMENTS. 
The Western Rural, speaking of the pres¬ 
ent circus system of advertising, deems the 
public not altogether blameless, for it patron¬ 
izes a man who advertizes impossibilities 
much quicker than one who simply states 
facts. This is very true. The modest adver¬ 
tiser stands comparatively a poor chance. 
Mr. B. C. Buell, of Michigan, a very suc¬ 
cessful apple grower, advises, iu selecting a 
site for an apple orchard, that the soil be 
good and the drainage perfect; that the alti¬ 
tude be high enough, as compared with sur¬ 
rounding land, so that the newly-discovered 
but indispensable qualification, atmospheric 
drainage, be perfect also; and that it have not 
too near protection from the winds. He has 
found that where winds have swept over his 
orchard the most freely, there was the best 
bearing portion, and there are the best trees 
to-day. Apples of an attractive appearance, 
with passably good quality, will sell more 
readily, and for higher prices, than those of 
the best quality without the “good looks.” 
Late-keeping Winter binds are as good for 
Fall marketing, and much better for a Spring 
market. 
A plant, surmised to be Astragalus Bige- 
lowii, is said to be fast spreading in Texas. 
According to information given to the Lon¬ 
don Gardener’s Chronicle, cattle are very 
fond of it. As soon as they eat it, however, 
they begin to lose flesh, their eyesight is affec¬ 
ted, and they soon die. A friend of the gen¬ 
tleman who furnished these details, lost nine 
horses recently through their having fed on 
this plant. 
Prop. Tracy thinks that the White Plume 
Celery is nearly all that is claimed for it; but 
he does not think that its flavor is as good as 
that of celery blanched in the ordinary way.. 
He also corroborates the Rural's experi¬ 
ments to the effect that the Persian Insect 
Powder, blown through bellows upon cabbages, 
will destroy the cabbage worm. He also finds 
the kerosene emulsion effective. He first 
mixes the kerosene with twice its bulk of sour 
milk, all being then put into a jug and shaken 
until an emulsion is formed. This he dilutes 
with water, using five parts of water to one 
of the emulsion. This is much cheaper than 
the pyrethrum powder.. 
Edward Atkinson’s wholesale showing 
of the grandeur of our national domain re¬ 
minds Mr. Olcott of the speech a mother 
taught her five-year-old urchin to declaim 
from the top of her Loom: “What if all the 
water in the world was made into one mighty 
ocean; all the trees in the world into one 
enormous tree; all the men in the world into 
one big man; all the axes in the world into 
one tremendous axe! And then what if that 
big man should take that tremendous axe and 
fell that big tree into that mighty ocean ; 
what a great splash it would make!’’. 
Cut cions any time before the buds swell. 
It is w'ell to pack them iu boxes filled with 
sand, which should be kept iu a cold place. A 
slanting cut may be made on each, upon 
which to write the name. 
James J. EL Gregory offers $1,(XX) iu pre¬ 
miums for vegetables raised from his seeds. 
His catalogue explaius it. and Mr. Gregory 
will do all he promises to do. We like to have 
our readers enter for such cdutests. 
We are having a great many inquiries as to 
new Russian Apples. According to Ellwnn- 
ger it Barry, of Rochester, N. Y., the follow¬ 
ing list embraces the most promising: Anto- 
uooskoe, Arabskoe. Belborodooske, Graud 
Sultan, Karabowka, Repku, Reschestwenskoe, 
Titovka, Woskaroe.” Whew! Talk about 
abomiuations in English names of fruits! I ,et 
any man pull of his coat, wade through that 
list of names, uml then buy a Russian apple, if 
he has the courage. . 
To remove warts from an animal, the Cul¬ 
tivator advises the application of butyr of an- 
tirnouy with a feather, two or three times, at 
intervals of two or three days. It dries up the 
wart, which drops off. 
One member of the Elmira Fanners’ Club 
advises to trim apple trees whenever you can 
get at the work. But be careful not to trim 
when the bark is loose. “ Trim when your 
knife is sharp.” President McCann advised 
caution about trimming when the bark peels. 
When large branches ure to be removed, do 
the work wheu the stumps will heal most 
readily. A grafter greatly injured President 
McCann’s trees by standing on the branches 
while grafting others. The bark under his 
feet was loosened and killesl...... 
A writer in the New York Tribune says 
that ho sometimes becomes disgusted with per¬ 
sons who are sending out such an cud less vari¬ 
ety of new, untried or worthless varieties. It 
is very hard to give them credit for honesty..
