RURAL NIW-YORK.ER. 
The first men of the country recognize it as striving honestly to promote the Rural 
Interests of America. 
Its Free Seed and Plant Distributions hM|^Bbularized many of the most valuable 
Seeds and Plants in cultivation. 
It is the Accepted Medium for the Introducnmrm all New Plants, Seeds, and Agri¬ 
cultural Implements. These are tested at the

It was the first Journal to have established Experiment Grounds—the first to have 
distributed Valuable Seeds and Pmnts Free among its subscribers—the first to have 
engaged the best Farm Writers in the world—the first to present beautiful and original 
portraits of cattle, fruits of all kinds, and of the cereals and all other plants carefully 
tested in its Experiment Grounds—the first, in short, to combine in practice the true 
interests of the Farm and Garden with the editorial labor of a rural journal. 
The Rcral New-Yorker has become the leading American paper by real worth, 
perseverance, and enterprise— by its devotion to the true interests of all who till the 
land, whether for pleasure or profit.

A misconception.— Speakiug 0 f the po¬ 
tency of the pollen of the variety of straw¬ 
berry which fecundates the pistillate flowers, 
Orchard and Garden says that the emphatic 
statement of the conscientious Prof. Budtl, 
that he has seen the altered condition of the 
fruit, goes a great deal further to prove the 
fact, than the reports of a hundred people to 
the effect that they have not noticed such an 
influence, or thanall the ridicule which even 
the scientific Rural New Yorker can bring 
to bear on the subject. “The latter may ridi¬ 
cule the idea—it remains a fact, nevertheless." 
It may be. We have never said that it was 
not—but simply that during 13 years of straw¬ 
berry culture with, perhaps, 250 different 
kinds, we had never observed that the pistil- 
lates were modified by the pollenating var. 
ieties. It is quite true that when one is not 
looking for such changes, they may easily es¬ 
cape him. 
Charles E. W estbrook, of Marion Coun¬ 
ty, Kansas, has, during the past five years, 
realized an average annual clip of 13 pounds of 
wool per head from a flock of about 200 Merino 
sheep. In spite of the depression in the wool¬ 
growing business, he is an enthusiastic ad¬ 
mirer of she?p, and informs the Live-Stock 
Indicator that in a lifetime of experience, he 
has not known a better time for men to em¬ 
bark in their rearing. He backs up his views 
and astonishes the weak kneed by offering to 
trade good young cattle for healthy sheep, 
patting both at a fair valuation. The sheep 
industry needs a few just such friends as Mr. 
Westbrook, and if it had them, it would not be 
in the dilapidated condition it now is. 
Col Hoffman, of the Elmira Farmers’ 
Club, as reported in the Husbandman, says 
that he has just finished picking 1,200 bushels 
of apples, and the dealer instructed 
him to take out the bottom head, and to 
place in the barrel on the reverse head a tier

in solution, salts that are necessary for the 
nutrition of the human frame,particularly the 
bones. The hard waters are most palatable- 
in fact, perfectly pure water would be a most 
insipid drink. It is claimed that the finest 
specimens of the English people are found in 
regions where the water is hard, and the same 
fact holds true of other animals. The death 
rate has its lowest average in those towns sup¬ 
plied with hard water, and increases as the 
water becomes softer and softer. 
Mast Southern farmers are getting over 
their love for the mule. It is thought that a 
grade Fereheron or Clydesdale—the result of 
a cross of the heavy stallion on the small 
Southern mare—would prove superior to the 
mule in strength, size and general utility. 
That such au animal would excel in beauty, 
goes without saying. One reason why South- 
Mr. J. T. Lovett says that the Russian 
Apricot is the only good apricot which he 
has ever been able to fruit in this latitude in 
the orchard or open field. Other varieties do 
well enough in the South, but it would not 
pay to plant them In Northern States. The 
Russian Apricot succeeds anywhere where our 
common fruits grow.

barrel is turned over, and the first tier placed 
in it is at the top when it is opened. In placing 
the first apples, it is sometimes necessary to
