CAREFUL FRUIT GROWING.
The French Obtain Better Results
Than the Americans.
"In this country," Bays a French vis
itor, "you JUHt put things In the ground
and let them grow more or less hap
hazard, as far as I can see. You have
a soil so fertile that I suppose yon can

"Growers can at once retard fruit
and dwarf trees to such un extent that
It Is poselhle to purchase during the
winter fruit actually (trowing on little
trees small enough to he served, pot

grown (one on n tree only cost
about f20 a piece, oilier tiling in pro
portion, and the fruit Is sold usually
not to French people, but to visitors
with more money than discretion, wno
think it smart to Imitate what they
consider the luxury of our gay capital.
"All this care of detail may seem ab
surd to you who have a country so
large and so lavishly productive as
America. Still. I think It is an open
question whether even here, where
'time Is money' so much more than It
Is In Europe, the expenditure of care
and thought on some neglected details
might not lead to the financial profit ol
some growers."
Insects 16 " which Tt Ts partial. In win
ter, when there seems to be no activl
ty on the part of the Insects, one might
expect the birds to take a rest, but

dispense with much that Is necessary
in our old country. But, all the same, I
think the fruit might he benefited If
you did some of the things that every
French grower does. France Is the
country of detail, you know, and we
think it pays in fruit growing just as
it does in cooking.
"The fruits we pet and pamper most
are the peach and the grape. The ma
Jorlty of peaches grown in this couu
try would seem to a Frenchman to be
distinctly of tlio second order that Is,
In the language of his fruit culture,
peach do plcln vent, or one grown on
trees In un orchard. Iietween peaches
grown thus, 'open to the wind,' nnd
those trained on trellises against walls
the French make a sharp distinction
"The trellis, or 'espalier,' peaches
are the only ones that appear on
carefully regulated table and are mil
versally cultivated. They always com-
maud a much higher price than the
tree peach, and at Montrcull the fruit
has been brought to such perfection
that they habitually sell for from 40 to
80 cents uplece.
Kven more elaborate Is tho proce-
dura with lino table grapes. Ilothouso
grapes are not highly In favor among
French epicures, for they are held to
lack tho rich ilavor of the fruit grown
In the open. At the samo time grapes
are so much In demand as a table
delicacy that It Is desirable that their
season should be prolonged as far as
possible Into tho winter. The difficulty
of this situation has been met by a
Bystem which, complicated ns It Is, Is
quite generally In use.
"The grapes are grown on trellises
exposed to tho sun anil six or seven
yards apart, like the peaches. When
the clusters are ripe they are put with
the stem and leaves In a sort of glass
box or bottle, which Is placed In a

DWARF APPLES.
They Will Be Grown on Account of
Their Convenience.
G. T. Powell of Columbia county, N.
Y., has been conducting some interest
ing experiments on the value of dwarf
apple trees In business orchards. It is
the Idea of Mr. Powell that trees of a
low habit of growth will be required
more and more because of the need of
convenience for spraying and harvest
ing. The scale Insects make it almost
Impossible to thoroughly treat large
trees, and the cost of labor makes a
saving at harvesting time of great im
portance.
Two styles of dwarf trees are under
trial. The so called Paradise Is very
dwarf and Is short lived. The Doucin
stock Is half dwarf, making trees six
teen to eighteen feet high, and prom
ises good results in commercial or
charding. The trees are planted two
or three Inches below the union of
stock nnd top. In Mr. Powell's or
chard the trees of Paradise stock are
set as fillers between those of the lar
ger dwarf kind. The rows In the or
chard are twenty feet apart and the
trees ten In a row. The wide spaces
between the rows allow plenty of room
for cultivation by horsepower, while
the trees In the rows will be thinned
out ns soon as they become crowded.
The dwarf trees give fruit In a few
years from planting, and the amount
gradually Increases. The small dwarf
kind lasts six to eight years and the
semldwarfs for about twenty years.
For dwarf trees the Spltzenheig, Jona
than and Mcintosh are found success
ful. They produce fruit of very fine
appearance and quality, suitable un
packing In boxes for the choicest trade.
For the half dwarfs the Northern Spy,
Itoxbury Ilussct, Twenty Ounce, Astra
khan, Baldwin and Greening are satisfactory.
The dwarf trees must receive good
culture, with plenty of plant food and
careful cultivation. The soil is plowed
and harrowed In the spring and Is kept
In a cover crop of clover during the
summer. Scale nnd other insects are
easily treated In the dwarf orchards.
The Idea appears so promising to Mr.
owell that he Is pruning his larger
trees on the dwarf plan, cutting back
the tops of the standard trees In order
to cause them to spread out and to re
move the high parts of tho tree, which
make so much difficulty in spraying
Old trees.
Excellent Pasturage For She'p.
The best pasture that we have ever
sed for our sheep, says Northwestern
Agriculturist, has been some sown
rop, like oats, mixed with rape.
oung standing corn makes an excel
lent pasturage. Their close bite does
no harm, and they do not trample
own your feed as cattle do. Sheep.
Is well known, are superior stock
o turn upon a gralntleld after harvest.
I'liey love the weeds. Here Is the
great benefit upon the farm In keeping
liccp. About the only weed that they
on't eat Is the thistle. They convert
l undesirable growth Into good
meat nnd wool. Fields that are to lie
so cleaned, however, must be properly
f eiued

for grubs or eggs, the little black eyes
rarely missing a mouthful of food.
Birds even swing head down from the
branches that the underside may not
escape Inspection. Nuthatches and
brown creepers explore the trunk nnd
with their long, sharp bills dig many
an Insect from Its winter quarters.
The woodpeckers have a work all their
own. The small, downy woodpecker
Is a good representative of his family.
His bill Is strong and sharp. His tail
feathers are stiffened to serve as a
brace while he clings upright against
the trunk. He cocks bis head to one
side, and his quick ears hear a borer
under the bark. A few blows with
tho bill and a hole Is dug; then a long
tongue barbed at the tip Is shot out,
Hints to Mushroom Growers.
In turning up a portion of a bed
maggots may be discovered In the
manure. A few may do no percepti
ble harm, but a large number will eat
up the spawn, leaving not even a
thread to develop a single mushroom.
Manv kinds of insects are apt to
swarm in warm cellars, together with
the egg laying varieties which cause
the maggots, regardless of foul air
which may often accumulate ana
which Is an Injury to the mushrooms.
In each succeeding bed in targe cel
lars Insects follow up tne new Deas
nnd become more vigorous. A nign '
temperature such as we had last fall
Is conducive to their continued exist
ence in summer gsm. a goou Kiuy,
however, con be secured In spite of
them when the houses are kept at all
times cool.
When mushrooms are grown In glass
houses the return pipes are best run
undfr the walks. In the usual way
of heating, where the pipes run under
the benches, paper placed over the
beds will be found beneficial as a pro
tector from excessive heat and drying.
With good, rigorous spawn, properly
prepared compost and care about the
requirements of heat and moisture, a
good crop Is a positive certainty.
There are garden crops equal to If not
surpassing the mushroom as money
makers to the producer, but no one
seed complain of well managed mushrooms.
