THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
The tree is called an animal aud early bearer, 
but nothing is said of its productive ness* We 
believe that it can be had of most nurserymen.

The Mann Apple. 
S. B. Liwlsay, Onl., asks whether the Rus- 
eion Man Apple is a winter Apple; whether 
the tree is hardy, and if it can be had from 
nurserymen generally. 
Ans. —The “ Mann” Apple, which is pro¬ 
bably what Mr. B. means, is not a Russian, 
though often so represented hv tree peddlers, 
who generally class all hardy Apples as “Rus¬ 
sians.” The tree originated as a chance seed¬ 
ling in the orchard of -Judge Mooney,of Granby, 
N. Y. It is called hardy in our large apple- 
growing districts, and is being introduced as 
an “iron-clad” in the “cold belt.” Its per¬ 
fect hardiness in severe climates is not, how¬ 
ever, sufficiently tested. It is not on the ap¬ 
proved lists of the Minnesota, Wisconsin, or 
Montreal Horticultural Societies. It would 
probably do well anywhere near the lake in 
Ontario, and perhaps to a considerable dis¬ 
tance northward. Mr. Downing, in his first 
Appendix, says it is “ a late keeper, valuable 
for market and cooking, and a fair table fruit.”

they and the Dutch arc identical- 
Ans. —The color of theHolstcins is black aud 
white, spotted or mottled unequally in different 
parts of the body. Almost all the Holsteins 
imported into this country come from Holland 
—not from Holstein, which now belongs to 
Germany—and arc often called Dutch. The 
Belted or Sheeted breed of cattle, however, 
of which there have linen a few importations, 
are strictly Dutch and arc never known by the 
name of Holsteins, although they possess many 
of the qualities of that strain. They also are 
black aud white, but instead of being splashed 
or mottled with white, they are marked as if 
black animals had broad white belts or sheets 
around tlieir bodies. 
Miscellaneous. 
A. S. M., asks, what can incubators be 
bought for? 2. He planted some Cranberries 
lust spring, but had to water them every day 
in summer, and he asks how this over-trouble¬ 
some job can be avoided. 
Ass.—A glance at our advertisements would 
show one offered there for $35. Indeed, many 
of the queries sent us are answered either in 
the advertisements, market reports or list of 
catalogues received. While wc are always 
pleased to answer to the best of our ability, all 
questions of interest to our friends, still, for 
the sake of other readers, unnecessary ques¬ 
tions should be avoided. 2. We presume the 
Cranberries were raised on uplands, which is, 
as a rule, a risky business, uuloss the soil and 
situation are favorable. The soil should be 
always an alluvium, never a drift formation, 
and should be naturally moist without having 
stagnant water. The Cranberry requires a 
great deal of water for so small a plant; but 
in summer time stirring the soil frequently 
around it, answers the purpose of watering it. 
lor plantations in lowlands, arrangements 
should be made for irrigating them in summer. 
L. P. II., Strafford, Vt., asks, 1, why Cran¬ 
berries are flooded in winter ; 2. where do pea¬ 
nuts grow, on the tops or in the ground; 3, 
what would be thedifticultlesin raising Peaches 
in Strafford; 4, will wheat mix if different va¬ 
rieties are sown by the side of ouch other; 5, 
name the two best Grapes for raisins. 
Ans. —1. Cranberries are flooded to protect 
the vines in winter and to destroy insects in 
the ground aud on the vines; besides, some 
growers hold that water has a fertilizing in¬ 
fluence on the meadow. 3. In the ground. 3. 
We don’t know exactly how .Strafford is situ¬ 
ated, the character of the soil, etc., but cold 
seems likely to he one obstruction to success. 
4. If by “ mix ” is meant whether they will fer¬ 
tilize each other, then, yes, to some extent. 
5. Raisins are made from several varieties of 
the Muscatel tribe, which are grown nearly ex¬ 
clusively in southern Europe and on the islands 
of the Mediterranean. None of our native va¬ 
rieties are grown for raisins. 
Mrs. L. S. B., Pella, Morion Co., Ia., wishes 
to learn where she can get information about 
silk culture from some one engaged in the 
business. 
Ans. —Write to Mi. L. S. Crozier, Silkville, 
Franklin Co., Kansas. 
II. VI'. II, Currant Creek , Colorado asks, 
where can ho obtain Law’s Veterinary Ad¬ 
viser. 
Ans.— Through this office, or direct from 
Prof. Law, Cornell University. Price $3, 
II W., Shcperdstuwn, West Fa., asks where 
Mapes’s fertilizers can be obtained. 
Ans.— 160 Front street. New York.
