Newspaper Page TextifjoHioiltttraL Trimming App'e Trees. Experiences is tho rmthcr of wisdom. There are ililljront opinions among tho farmers nlout tho propar tinio for trim ming iipplo tree. Tlic main object oiiRht to lie to trim in that seaon of tho year when the wound will entirely he.il over, or the tree is ruined, sooner or later. If that object is not accomplished, the water enters and a hole i rotted into the trunk ; nr, it becomes hollow and is destroyed. some trim m e.iriy spring ; the wp for ces itself out of thewound in abundance, runs down on tho body or larger limbs; the bark turns back and often dies, and the trees arc permanently injured. Another follows the opposite extreme and prunes in August, or even in early winter, when the sip has turned into tho wood ; the wound does not turn black, ns in the other case, but heals slowly, if nt all, and a tree with holes in it is a final result. If the bark is entirely peeled oft" the tree from the roots to the limbs, in the longest days of mid-summer, which are some where from the 15th to the. 2(Sth of June, a new bark is formed and tlio tree is not injured, and an old tree is said to be bene fitted by the operation. If apple trees are pruned at this time, if any bark is ac cidentally taken off", where the limb has been removed ; it will entirely heal over, if the limb removed is not too large, and the growth is sufficient for that purpose. The sap of the tree is not too thin to run out and blacken the tree, as in early spring, nor too thick and already forlned into the wood, and the wound compara tively dry ; both wood and bark as in later pruning, are not-stopped in farther growth over the wound. Many farmers, as a gen eral thing, prune an orchard without dis cretion, sawing otf too largo limbs, that never can heal over, oftentimes cutting ) them off some inches from the trunk of tne tree, or tne larger limbs irom wiiicii they arc removed ; the stub of the limb will die to the tody and the further decay of the tree is sure. In pruning off too much, the natural equilibrium between the roots and tho top is destroyed, and the body ot the tree will come out in suckers or sprouts. Such ignorant primers had better cut their trees down and trim them afterward, which is easier done, and with more profit to themselves, as the ground could be em ployed for some better purpose. If a limb is dead there is no option ; it mut be cut off close to the tree ; the only liv ing limbs that should bo cut off arc the small ones that will heal overcoming from the larger branches in tho inside of the top (and those that cross and gall each other,) thereby letting in more sun to the apples to give them a better color and give the picker a better chance in the tree. Evervthim: beyond this is super fluous, and pruning hail better be dis pensed with altogether. Many fine or chards receive their death warrants from such ill pruning every year. N. II. Pa triot. Rei Apples. The buyers all want red apples. They say they sell the best. This fancy for color has given Baldwins a boom, as they are red and handle and ship well. There is another advantage for the fruit tho ti ee is hardy and a constant bearer. I do not like the apple to cat but on account of its market value, the hardness of the tree, and its btrong bearing propensity, in an orchard of 100 trees I would plant 75 Baldwins. Too many varieties of fruit are a nuisance. They make an endless amount of work, and many kinds, while thev have a value for home use, are un suited for keeping or shipping. They do not pay. Tho Eiopus fapitzenburg, I think, is tho daintest flavored applo that grows. My mother would have no other for her mince pies and company apple saucethis had to to extra nice you know but since the country has liccome so open, exposed to the cold winds, the trees winter-kill. Tho Spitzenburg wants protection and a virgin soil. The latter requirement can be made up in part by the use of ashes, and tho former by planting wind breaks of evergreens. I treated a stunted Famcuso applo tree twenty years ago with a wheelbarrow load of leached ashes, and that tree shows tho benefit of it to this day. Somehow we all like the kinds of apples wo used to eat when we were voung, and so Rhode Itland Greenings, Gillillowcrs and Bellflowen. still have a place in our hearts and in my orchaid. '1 hey bring to mind tho times when neightors used to "come over and spend the evening "those old-fashioned, informal visits, in which apples filled an important part ot tne social ciuxi. j -, iiwvl in iwn (vnnnanv with tho dough- ... i i m... nnta wlim wn were.VOUHC. F. D. Curtis in Rural Xew Yorker. Buy Small Trees. The averago American is in a great - hurry to realize on his investments. Thw tendency crops out very plainly when he purchases trees. He finds them described as "second-class," "medium," "fin-t-class," and "extra." Tho differences in theso claaees is principally, if not wholly, in the size and height of the trees. Tlio larger the tree tho higher the price j but the far mer "don't care anything about that." He wants good trees or none, and gives his order for thosoof extra size, and winch are four or five vcars old. In doing this he thinks that he U acting wisely, hut tho nurseryman knows and the farmer will find before long that, with equal care, the small tree will grow faster and (if a fruit tree) como in tho bearing condition sooner than the large one. In half a dozen years tho tree that was small wiien planted will be larccr and liner than the other. The reason for this is obvious. The larger the tree the larger uiu iuuu tvnmii n nag, and tlio larger the roots the le-s fibres there will to upon them. A tree that has (plenty of fibrous roots will grow readily if proper care is used in transplanting ; but no amount of skiu can coax a tree to live and flourish which is destitute of these little fibres. The roots of large trees are always more or les mutilated in the process of taking up, while the small trees sustain little in jury irom tins source. Dealers in trees assert that experienced men buy small, thrifty trees, while those who lire jut starting are anxious for the largest to to had. Those who are to set trees the com ing season will do well to learm from the experience of thoo who, at considerable loss to themselves, have demonstrated that small trees are the ones to buy. Xew England Homestead. AGRICULTURAL N0TE3. It is not possible to givo tho strawtorry patch too much water, provided always that the land is so well drained as to give the water free escape. This is true of nearly all farm crops, though barley is more sensitive to excess of water than any other small grain. Corn is injured by excessive moisture, but it is more from chilling the soil than from the effects of water itself. Farmers should experiment with all kinds of fertilizers within their reach. Quito often there is found on some farms muck that can be prontably drawn to land adjoining or on tho near neighborhood. The quality of muck varies so widely that lack of success with it in any place is no evidence that other muck will fail elsewhere. The tost muck contains lime and phosphoric acid. Wherever wood ashes can to had an excellent fertilizer may to made by any farmer. Let him purchase pure ground bone ; mux with its weight of nshes and saturate with water. The alkali in the ashes takes hold of tho crease in the bones, and the mixture is a valuable one for any grain crop. When dried with fine ground gypsum it can be drilled m with the seed. The evidence recently supplied by the Scottish Chamber of Agriculture asserts that the effect of lime is most durable on pastures that are grazed. It lasts longer upon good than upon bad land, and longer ujxm clays and light land than on light land. A good dressing of lime lasts for a number of years. Except on old, mossy land, lime is best used upon grass land in the form of compost. Gypsum, charcoal and lime are some times added to manure heaps with the view of fixing their ammonia ; but where the management of the manure is other wise good, these are not much required. Chalk and lime are found to have a very good effect in preventing the escape of ammonia from farm yard manure, pro vided it is fresh manure. Applied to rot ten manure cautic lime causes a great loss of ammonia. Tho cultivation of apples is growing into immense proportions in Arkansas. The crop grown in Bentoe county this year amounted to about 2,000,000 bush els, nearly the whole of which wa ; dried and thus shiptod in barrels, because there are no convenient railroad facilities there to enable growers to ship the green fruit. Drying kilns were put in operation in the orchars where the fruit was grown, one concern having facilities for (hying one thousand bushels a day. A Xew York firm has permanently located in Benton county and engaged in drying apples, the barrels in which they aie packed being branded Rochester, N. Y. The fruit is shipped to Europe. Many complain that their tomatoes are sour. All tomatoes are sour, n we may judge from our own observation, that are grown in rich soil. e want a maximum of fruit and a minimum of leaves and steins, if we would have sweet tomatoes by which is meant not sweet literally, but less acidity. Tomatoes raised in light rather jwor soil, in a sheltered or warn situation, arc always sweet in favor able seasons, whilo those raised in rich soil or in partial shades are always sour. A rank growth of foliage shades tho fruit densely and interferes with the develop ment of tho saccharine principle. An English agricultural paper, London Farm and Homo, recently declared that "tho reason why such numbcrsof farmers' sons in America abandon farming is en tirely owing to the extreme severity of the toil they havo to undergo when on the farm. The American farmer is a very hard task-master, and as a rule tho sons dislike tho laborious occupation at home, which they leave to go in search of 'some thing lighter.' American farming has lecn developed not so much by native Imrn farmer.-, as by the millions who have gone there to bottle during the last 10 or 20 years." As to the immediate future of wheat, the low range of prices prevents British India from being as great a competitor as last vear, navigation in Northern Russia is closed, tho fall sowing wheat of England has been delayed by floods, and our farm ers generally are in totter condition for holding their crops, whilo tho present low prices tends to increase tho demand over tho civilized world, It is estimated that tho wholo produc tion of sugar grown in tho world amounts to atout 3,700,000 tons a year. Of this atout 1,500,000 tous arc manufac tured in Europe from the beet. China, India, Egypt and tho Islands of tho Southern Pacific produco about 700,000 tons; Cuba, 000,000; Brazil. 200,000; rvmerara. Surinam and other places, 400,000, and Louisiana and the Sandwich Idands l&.OOU tons.

For the first three or four years they demand good attention, after which time that ordinarily given to other fruit trees will suffice. They should to pruned yearly, and all weak or dead wood removed and too forward shoots headed back. The canned fruit product of California has largely increased since the last de cade. The product of 1875 aggregated in value about .f 500,000. In 1880, f 1500,000, and in 1882 tho product is set down with a value equal to .$2,000,000. For the futnro wo have every reason to believe that the rate of increase will be even greater than for the past. And there is 110 question but that California is des tined to become the largest and finest fruit-producing country in tho world. The great curse of the American farmer is too much land. In trying to spread over too much ground he is compelled to do things by halves and only gets half returns. Une acre of land that produces four tons of hay is better w orth $,100 than ten acres that produces a like quantity is worth $25 an acre. The cow that averages two pounds of butter a day is totter worth $200 than is the cow that only makes one pound a day is worth $20. Mr. Morton, of Tularo City, has tried nn experiment with a new sort of grass, which he affirms will to the coming grass of that section of country. It resembles in some resects the bunch grass on the salt marshes on the sea coast, and at first sight it docs not look as though it would to very palatable. It grows in huge bunches from six to ten feet high, and produces over three tons of first-class hay to the acre, btock are very fontl of the grass, and it is better for them than any other grass of which Mr. Morton has ac knowledge. Unlike other grasses the roots may to utilized to fatten hoes and vield enormously, as much as 3,000 bushels to the acre. Hogs cat the roots eagerly, and may to turned into a field before and after the hay is cut to root and fatten. The farmers of Missouri may to Grati fied to learn that of fourteen Congress men from that state they have elected thirteen lawyers, not ono of whom could have been chosen without their votes. Tho election of tho fourteenth is as yet in dispute, but no matter which of the two disputants may to declared elected, the one successful will bo a lawyer, or a manu facturer of patent medicines a doctor. Three-fourths of tho voters of Missouri are farmers and not a single representa tive of their class in Congress. Three-quarters of the highest-priced butter in New York and England to-day is made from Jersey cows ; it brings from 40 to 80 cents per pound, and the demand is greater than the supply. The greater part of tho butter dealers to not handle this, and it is not known in the newspa per market reports. As a rule it goes once or twico a week direct from the dairy where it is made to the house or club, or hotel in which it is eaten. It has less than one-quarter of an ounce of salt to tho pound, and thus none of tho aromatic odors are lost. Above all. however, a farmer should be free from debt. If he wishes to bind a millstone round his neck, to sink him be yond tho possibility of hope or rescue, to keep him constantly restless, and strug gling for subsistence if not for existence, let him keep in debt ; if ho would to able to call what he has his own, and breathe tho air of a freeman, let him religiously eschew debts. I would almost go so far as to say that nothing excepting the pur chase of land can justify a farmer in con tracting a debt ; and tofore he sells him self for more land he will do well to in quire whether he has capital to work it profitably, and whether what ho now has is brought to the propcrdegrec of fertility. The Texas State Grange, at its annual session last month, shows an increase in memtorship of over 8,000 during the pat year. Ono hundred and twenty-five dormant Granges were revived and eighteen new ones organized during the year. This is the way the Grange is dying. THE SPOKANE COUNTRY. Spokane Chronicle. la the eastern part nf Washington there lis a region about 200 miles long by 70 mile in breadth marked on the maps as llie great pleatuo ot the Spokane. To this region, on crount 'f its remarkable fertility and won. derful resources, the attention of enteiprising men has of late been largely diteo'ed. The nearer completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad, then bringing a liithuto isolated region into direct ccirimunieation with the east, has increaiel this interest to a ten-fold decree. The form of the lat discovered and ichest wheat field on the American continent, iUsalulrinus air, its undeveloped resources ant wonderful possibilities have surposed a mere local reputtti n and now floods of letters from nearly every Sti to of the American Union and from Canada are daily received. It is in answer to tome of the mostimportmt of these inquiries that the following brief and necessarily imperfect sketch las been wrii'en : T pigraphy The traveler along the Pne of the railr. ad Ii often disappointed by the appearance of the country. The reason of this nbvions. The track of the rai'road runs alonj a nirr.iw rocky ledgs which forms a natural road bed ; in few places does the beat lmd comedown to the track of the road. But only a short distance on either tide and we reach a bouodlet s realm of tbe choicest wheat land. To tbe south lies the famous Palouse country of astonishing fertility, free from rock, well watered and armewhat rolling. To the wot and north stretches for nearly 100 miles the famous Big Beud country, equally fertile with the P-louie and not o Idly, while in various other directions are the Hangman Creek valley, the Kock Crk valley, the Col. vilt valley and mat y others. All of these are m-re rr less tributary to Spokane Falls. Soil. The soil for tbe moat put is a dark bam of great dep'b, compote! of alluvial ele posits and decomposed basalt overlying a clay subsoil. There are two characteristics of this soil which deserve mention i First its re markable capacity to resist drouth j second, its seeming incapability of exhaustion. In Minnesota, oh-ro the virgin soil two years ago produced thirty bushels of wheat, it is now difficult to poduce ten lushels. The bonanza firms of Dakata are already won out, while lands in the Walls Walla valley which hive the s-ime chemical constituents as our own have been cultivated to wheat for twen'y years, without dimii ution of yield. The rea- Ann IS tlsin. Tim vnlanii lnira rlvmnn.0. gradually and hence, tho fertility is main tained Products. Tho whole region is covered with a rich growth of bunch grass which cures itself nnd which fattens cattle better than the blue grass of Kentucky or corn of Illinois. It has become a proverb that where bunch crass grows wheat will. There is no better stock country w hether for horses, cattle or sheep, than Eiatcrn Washington : hut its chief celeb rity is a w heat country. The pr deletion of wneat is simply marvelous. Wheat averages thirty-five and forty luuhels to the acrr, while crops ot sixty and seventy uushcis are not are, oats about seventy Imshe's, and in some portions 1 10 bushels to the acre. Pi tatoes and garden vegetables of the finest quality art lavishly produced and no country ain produce better apples Pears, plumi, peaches and cherries are successfully raised, and this eems the natural home of the small fruit. In favor able locations timothy produces three tons to the acre. Climate. The climate is by no means so severe as the latitude would suggest. Like the eutiro Pacific Coast it is modified by the warm Jpan current which bathes the west ern coitt. In the spring, summer and au tumn the climate is delightful, the niuhts are always cool, and although in winter the trier cuary sometimes for a tew days take a low range, we nave no dreadful storms as on th western prairies. The colder it is the less air there is in circulation. On winter morning', when the cold is most intense, the smoke from a hundred chimneys may be seen rising fifty feet in tho air as straight as an arrow. Then are no ice-laden, death-dealing " blizzards," as in Nebraska and Kansas ; no northeasters, as in Texas ; nor California sand storms. There is no healthier country in the world There is no malaria ; the drainage is good, and the water pure, sweet, delicious and readily obtained. EgTPt. Egypt lies directly north of Fort Spokane and touth of Larene, extending to the Spo kane river on the east, and to Cottonwood creek on the west. It is a rolling table land, and is well watered. Most of the choice gov eminent land is tsken up here, but claims can be had here yet containing 50,60 and 80 acres of tbe choicest prairie land and the rest tim ber, which would make good pasture, not to speak of the value of the timber which would be in itself a small fortune when the timber begins to get scarce, as it certainly will at no distant day. The land here was surveyed last summer, but is not yet in the market, and therefore I cannot tell the price of railroad and here, but I invite those intending to buy to take a look at the land in this vicinity before locating elsewhere, as scarcely any rail road land has oeen taken here yet. There 1 no wool grass here, the thing that proves such a nuisance in some parts of the country There is an abund mco of game of every do scription here prairie chicken, grouse, phes ants and sage hens, also any number of deer, (the 1&TJ.0 mule deer) which affords an endlcs amount of fun fr the "boys" during the winter season. The present winter, however, has not been so favorable to deer hunting as most winters on account of shallow snow, which usually gets so deep in the mountains across to the low land timber on this side Although it is but little over two years since the first settler came here, Egypt boasts of two school districts, both of which had three months school list summer. stock of every kind have fared well this winter, scarcely any feeding being done. North IVathinyton Tribune. A Paget Sound Scene. The Seattle Pot-Inleltiyencer of a late date in (peaking of a busy ecene on its water front says : The immense new warehouse of the Oregon Improvement Company presented yssterday and day before a ecene of buty industry, which no man familiar with those indication" which go to show a prosperous community and a commercial center, would fail to accept as conclusive evidence of Seattle's commanding position in this regard. Ou the 5th inst. the Geo. W. Elder dis ohargea 595 tons nf Ireight on that wharf, at wh!:hwere already accumulated large stores of grain, brought Irom the adjoining counties, especially those to the north of us, and sev eral hundred barrels of pickled stlmon, the product of our local fisheries. It will not do to say that the immense warehouse was as full as it could hold, because if merchandise hod been pih d even witht'e roof several hundred too smore could have found storage room. As it was. however, boxes ann bales and barre's and packages of all discretions were so num erous that only narrow alleyways were leu lor stevedores, rou.taboutf. visitors and the crowd generally who went down to tike a 1 ok at these sttikit g evidence s of the growth of the Queen City ot the Sound. Weduulit if any tingle exinnitol tne on ward march of tii city has, in all respect-, been so satisfactory and conclti'ive as tlio scene on tbe wharf rtferred to.
