Your article and illustration of carrying 
children to school was fine, and just what 
is wanted in this town, where politicians 
make a business of trading candidates, 
and hang to the old district system. Our 
farmers do not come to the front as their 
fathers did in by-gone days, and this rural 
picture of happy school chndren riding to 
school may help the mothers to act in this 
matter. j. r. c.

An Ai'Ple Shed.—D uring the past two 
seasons 1 have put up a temporary apple 
shed by purchasing 12-foot matched 
boards, with which I make a lean-to shed 
on the north side of the barn. A piece of 
furring on the barn is all that is required 
to catch the top end of the board, and l 
leave the nails so that they may be pulled 
out. At the bottom some posts are set, 
and a piece of Joist is nailed to them to 
hold the lower end of the boards, and in 
such a shed, 25 feet long, I can keep 100 
barrels from the weathei’, and the sun 
will not shine upon the roof.

The Crow Nuisance.—No sooner do 
practical husbandmen cry down the crow 
than up starts the theorist who tells how 
many Insects a crow’s crop has been 
found to contain. Our native song birds 
are growing noticeably fewer year by 
year. The crows are growing more bold 
in their depredations; but I have not 
noticed that insects are any less. Crows 
seem to be chiefly occupied in stealing the 
eggs or young of our old-time favorites, 
many of these insectivorous. I question 
if these would not, if allowed to grow un¬ 
molested, do far more to keep down in¬ 
sect pests than do the crows which de¬ 
stroy them. Let us have a bounty upon 
the black rascal, as a necessary means of 
saving our useful birds. f. w. p. 
If you find a cold creeping on, keep a bottle of Dr.

THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, NEW YORK. 
The New Horticulture 
BY H. M. STRINCrELLOW. 
We do not hesitate to say that this is one of the most 
interesting books on horticulture that ever was printed. 
Most reading farmers have heard of the now famous 
“Stringfellow Method” of planting trees, but few 
understand clearly what it is. This book tells the whole 
story in clear-cut, forcible style, which all can under¬ 
stand. Not only is the theory of close root-pruning 
carefully explained, but the general principles of garden¬ 
ing and fruit-growing are discussed. Mr. Stringfellow 
is a practical gardener, and he gives his own experience. 
We commend the book to all without reserve. New 
Edition, paper covers, 50 cents.
