Ed.  H.  Witte,  Famous  Engine  Manu¬ 
facturer,  Makes  Startling  Offer 
On  New  Witte  Throttling- 
Governor  Engine. 
Farmers,  now  more  than  ever,  appreciate 
the  need  of  power  on  the  farm  and  know 
they  can  make  $500  to  $1,000  additional 
profit  a  year  with  an  all-purpose  engine. 
Ed.  H.  Witte,  nationally-known  engine 
manufacturer,  has  announced  a  new  5-horse 
power  engine  which  burns  either  kerosene, 
gasoline,  distillate  or  gas  with  a  special 
regulator  which  enables  it  to  operate  all 
the  way  from  two  to  six  horse-power.  This 
new  WITTE  ENGINE  has  revolutionized 
power  on  the  farm  as  it  handles  practically 
every  job  with  ease  at  a  fraction  of  the 
cost  of  hired  help.  It  is  easily  moved  from 
place  to  place  and  so  simple  that  a  boy  can 
operate  it.  _ 
To  introduce  this  new  engine  to  a  million 
new  users  Mr.  Witte  has  arranged  to  put 
it  on  any  place  for  a  90-day  guaranteed 
test.  Since  it  costs  only  $20.40  to  take  ad¬ 
vantage  of  this  sensational  offer  Mr.  Witte 
confidently  expects  every  progressive  power- 
user  to  soon  be  using  a  WITTE.  Every 
reader  of  this  paper  who  is  interested  in 
showing  bigger  profits  and  doing  all  jobs  by 
engine  power  should  write  today  to

Albemarle  and  Black  Twig  Apples 
Will  you  give  me  some  brief  informa¬ 
tion  concerning  two  apples  that  are 
grown  in  Virginia,  the  Albemarle  Pippin 
and  the  Black  Twig?  F.  J.  M. 
Schenectady,  N.  Y. 
We  hope  to  treat  the  lrellow  Newtown 
or  Albemarle  Pippin  more  fully  a  little 
later,  but  a  few  remarks  will  not  he  out 
of  place  here.  It  is  one  of  the  oldest 
varieties  in  America,  having  been  export¬ 
ed  to  England  as  early  as  1759,  and  since 
then  it  has  been  a  great  favorite  on  the 
export  market.  It  is  reported  that  Queen 
Victoria  removed  the  tax  upon  apples 
when  she  tasted  a  Yellow  Newtown,  de¬ 
claring  that  she  did  not  want  to  do  any¬ 
thing  that  might  prevent  any  of  her  sub¬ 
jects  from  partaking  of  so  delicious  a 
fruit.  It  is  not  a  variety  that  should  be 
extensively  planted  without  careful  obser¬ 
vation  of  soil  and  climate,  for  it  does  not 
do  well  excepting  in  a  few  localities. 
Among  these  are  the  Hood  River  and 
Rogue  River  vafleys  in  Oregon,  the  Pa- 
jaro  or  Watsonville  section  in  California, 
Wenatchee  and  Yakima  valleys  in  Wash¬ 
ington,  the  Piedmont  section  of  Virginia, 
and  a  few  spots  in  the  Hudson  River  Val¬ 
ley.  The  tree  is  a  slow  grower,  does  not 
come  into  bearing  early,  and  is  not  overly 
productive.  Yet  the  long-keeping  fruits 
command  high  prices,  so  that  the  variety 
is  profitable  where  it  can  be  grown  suc¬ 
cessfully. 
The  Mammoth  Black-twig  or  Arkansas 
is  another  long-keeping  sort.  It  is  a 
seedling  of  the  Winesap,  and  retains 
some  of  the  characteristics  of  that  vari¬ 
ety.  It  does  best  in  the  more  Southern 
regions,  and  is  a  late  and  light  bearer. 
In  quality  it  is  not  high,  though  the  firm, 
yellow  flesh  which  characterizes  the  Ar¬ 
kansas  is  not  to  he  despised  in  April  or 
May,  when  most  other  kinds  have  passed 
out  of  season.  Although  it  has  been 
rather  widely  planted  in  the  past,  it  is 
not  as  popular  as  it  once  was.  The  Ar¬ 
kansas  is  quite  distinct  from  the  Arkan¬ 
sas  Black,  a  smaller  and  darker  red  ap¬ 
ple.  H.  B.  TUKEY. 
Growing  the  Service  Berry  or  Juneberry 
How  can  I  propagate  a  few  trees  of 
the  wild  service  berry  or  Juneberry? 
There  are  a  few  trees  in  nearby  woods, 
one  particularly  fine  specimen  being  6  in. 
in  diameter  and  over  20  ft.  tall,  growing 
along  a  fence  between  the  woods  and  a 
cultivated  field.  Though  the  berries  fall  - 
thick  on  the  ground  I  have  never  been 
able  to  find  a  seedling,  either  in  the  woods 
or  on  the  cultivated  soil.  This  single  tree 
stands  on  rather  rich  soil,  blooms  white 
and  very  profusely  early  in  the  Spring, 
and  at  present  is  bending  under  a  load  of 
berries  that  are  almost  as  large  as  cher-  • 
ries.  They  ripen  over  a  period  of  several 
weeks.  Many  people  consider  them  de¬ 
licious,  and  I  am  desirous  of  growing  a 
few  trees  in  my  orchard  for  home  use, 
and  possibly  for  commercial  use  on  a 
small  scale.  Can  you  tell  me  how  and 
when  to  plant  seed  and  if  it  is  possible 
to  bud  or  graft  them  and  raise  in  nursery 
rows  like  the  peach  or  apple?  Will  they 
thrive  planted  in  a  commercial  orchard 
and  cultivated  and  fertilized  the  same  as 
fruit  trees?  e.  j.  d. 
New  Madison,  O. 
The  service  berry,  Juneberry,  shad, 
sweet  pear,  grape-pear,  or  Amelanchier 
Canadensis,  as  it  is  variously  called,  has 
been  used  as  food  for  a  long  time.  It 
was  an  esteemed  fruit  among  the  Indians, 
and  in  the  northern  countries  where 
fruits  of  almost  no  kinds  will  grow,  the 
Juneberry  is  highly  prized.  It  is  re¬ 
ported  that  B.  (I.  Smith  of  Cambridge, 
Mass.,  cultivated  one  of  the  several  va¬ 
rieties  in  his  garden  and  exhibited  a  plate 
of  very  attractive  fruit  at  the  Massa¬ 
chusetts  Horticultural  Society  exhibit  in 
1881. 
It  may  be  budded  or  grafted  on  the 
hawthorn,  or  on  strong-growing  seedlings, 
and  even  quinces  and  mountain  ash  have 
been  used  as  stocks.  It  may  also  be  prop¬ 
agated  by  suckers  and  by  layers.  Seeds 
are  usually  sown  soon  after  they  are  ripe, 
or  they  may  be  stratified  and  sown  in  the 
Spring.  It  seems  that  you  ought  to  have 
success  with  one  or  more  of  these  methods 
of  propagation.  h.  b.  t. 
The  farmer  took  the  man  out  to  a  field 
and  started  him  at  plowing  behind  two 
horses.  Two  hours  later  the  new  farm¬ 
hand  returned  to  the  house  utterly  ex¬ 
hausted.  The  farmer  asked  him  how  he 
was  getting  along.  “Not  gettin’  along  at 
all,”  snapped  the  new  man  disgustedly ; 
“how  do  you  expect  me  to  hold  a  plow 
with  two  big,  strong  horses  trying  to 
pull  it  away  from  me  all  the  time?” —

Organized  Co-operation 
A  NEW  BOOK 
By  J  O  H  N 
This  book  is  written  in  three 
parts. 
PART  ONE.— The  Develop¬ 
ment  of  the  Agricultural  Indus¬ 
try.  In  five  chapters.* 
PART  TWO.  —  Fundamental 
Principles  and  Adaptable  Forms 
of  Co-operative  Organization.  In 
ten  chapters. 
PART  THREE.  —  Application 
of  Co-operation  to  Efficient  and 
Economic  Distribution  of  Farm 
Products.  In  seven  chapters. 
This  is -a  new  treatment  of  the 
co-operative  subject.  Heretofore 
writers  of  books  have  contented 
J.  DILLON 
themselves  with  accounts  of  co¬ 
operative  work  where  established. 
It  has  been  mostly  propaganda 
and  exhortation.  This  was  all 
good  in  its  time.  But  we  have 
grown  beyond  it.  Farmers  are 
now  committed  to  co-operation. 
Once  shy  of  it,  they  are  at  last  a 
unit  for  it.  What  they  want  now 
is  principles  and  definite  policies 
that  have  pn  ved  successful.  This 
book  is  the  first  real  attempt  to 
supply  this  want.  Other,  and  it 
is  to  be  hoped  better,  books  will 
follow  on  this  line;  but  for  the 
present  there  is  no  other  book 
seriously  treating  the  subject  of 
organized  co-operation.
