What Good Aatnoajtlea Think of It .: Quality and Commercial Vain. Frequent referenda lo the horticnl rnral journals to the Longfield apple ai exhibited at the New York -state-fair, bare inggeeted to Mr. John Cralg an Illustrated note in Gardening regarding iti merits. He says: f On the matter of the relative value of Varieties oomraeroially tAneidered the diotam of 8.-D, Willard, of Geneva, N. Y., is ninally aooepte. and in the light of hii own experienoe Mr. Willard hai prononnoed the Jjongfleld a valaable apple, and judging by the barrelf of I thia fruit being shipped to market the other day, when the writer visited him, he was abundantly justified in passing this judgment. " . . The LongBeld is difficult to manage in the nursery, growing slowly and having a' marked predilection for pro duoing an' ungainly top on crooked stem. In the orchard, partly on account or. Dearing very heavily, the tree as sumes a more or less pendant form, whiob, with itspubesoent leaves, makes it easily distinguishable from other va rieties.. It is safe to say that it does not blight to any appreciable extent in the east and only slightly in the west. So far as the experience of the writer goes It does not scab under favorable circum stances. I do not regard any Variety as being Immune. Mr. Willard states that with him: neither fruit nor foliage is affected by the apple scab fungus. With regard to its productiveness, it may be mid that in this respect It It fully equal to Duchess and Wealthy, bat the fruit, deteriorates very rapidly both in size and quality if the tree is allowed to bear at will, and on gravelly oils in Vermont and in the province of Que boo this fanll has strongly operated gainst the popularity of the jjongBeld, Normally and usually the tree will set twioe as much fruit as It is capable of maturing.

PINEAPPLE GROWING. A Plea' Per Islntln Field Caltar. 'Wrapalaa Apple With Moaa. Much is beard of the advantages of growing pines under sheds. On the oth er side of the question, however, a writer in The Florida Farmer hat ad vanced the following arguments: The growing of fancy pines under wooden sheds, whioh will in a few years be almost entirely robbed of that great ly remunerative feature, sale of slips at fancy prices, has toon to cdmpete in the open market with Held grown fruit The shedding certainly prevents sunburn and proteota from light frosts, but with these exceptions I think that just as fine fruit can be prodnoed In the open air with similar culture. - When a man sheds a few aorea, which ooets him a good deal of money, at the cost of a good deal more money, he is almost sure to spend more labor and fertilizer per aoro upon it than upon a 26 or 60 aore open field, which did not oost bim one-eighth as much per acre to plant. Give the open field the same culture. Each apple can be protected from sunburn by wrap ping with the straw covert whioh beer bottles oome packed in, or. by staking, at a very small cost - v Ten years ago, before shedding bad "been practiced to ' any great exteKtr where the climate permitted open field oultnre we used to wrap each apple in Spanish moss soon after it bloomed, and I never had a single apple whioh was not at bright and free from sunburn as if grown under a shed. Whatever the variety which proves the best, whether the Porto fiico, Cayenne, Queen or Bed, it can be grown to perfection at a lest oost in the open field, and when ihe prices are reduced to very close figures, largo fields under open oultnre must supersede the sbeda as a matter' of course. ; i v '..:'".!.- However, not many of the growers aro at present realizing nearly the net returns per acre or per dollar invested that they might do by following the system of intense culture.-Instead of planting ten acres and fertilizing it enough to produce an average crop of good average fruit, five acres with the same amount spent for fertilizer and labor used on the ten, would produce three-fourths or seven-eighths as many orates, at a very moderate estimate, and instead of 60 per cent thirty-sixes or over to the orate, we will have 60 per oeut of twenty-fours and under, Mow the latter sizes always bring 60 cents to 81 per crate more than the former, so that when the smaller ones are netting little above the oost of freight and pick ing to pay for their raising, the latter are paying a good profit on every crate. Then, too, fields pushed from the start remain prodnotive for several crops longer than tbe ordinary field and they recovered much better from the freeze of 1896. : It is the growers who are following this intensive culture who are making money. SHEEP IN NEW ENGLAND. A Varaaont Parmer Talks About tb ot; Thla ladaatry. ' . . . - x . -A MaAaaohnsetUoomspondent writes ts follows to Tbe Mew .England Home stead: "Kindly inform me whether a man with a fair knowledge of sheep eon Id make a success of tbe business here in New England by leasing two or mora sill farms, stocking them with from 800 to 600 cwea and devoting all time and labor to them and such crops aa It was practical to raise for tbe consumption of the sheep, thus making the sheep tb. only source of in oome from the farm."'

Walatalnlaa a Balaaaa Betweea Aal mat aad PI at bit. " Many of tbe diseases which affeot ani mals, writes Stephen Beale in The Country Gentleman, are directly or in directly due to ignoring the need for maintaining a true balance between animal and plant life. The debris of animals is food for plants, but poison ous to animals themselves; hence tbe necessity for keeping this fact in mind. Tainted soil that is, oharged With the manure of fowls is fatal, as much so as would be tainted atmosphere.. More over, when the earth ls exhausted those element for whioh fowit seek, they cannot thrive nearly to well. want to make dear the necessity for changing tbe runs, provided that tbe number of birds kept is too great for the earth to utilize their manure. Where there is free growth of grass or other crops this presents no serious difficulty if the houses are moved now and again, If the conditions are tuoh that tbe birds must be kept in confinement, then tbe question of soil becomes of even more serious import. Much hat been said and written on tho point nnder consideration. Statements have been put forth that 900 birds can be kept healthily on an acre of land, but frank ly I do not believe tbem that is, I do not believe that the tame birds to this number have been kept on. the tame piece of land year after year without an outbreak of disease. All past experienoe, not only with poultry, but 'larger stock, goes to condemn a system whioh la an tagonistio to natural laws and whiob common sense declares to be a bad one. Of course I know that something may bo done to reduce the danger by remov ing the. top crust of soil as it becomes impregnated with manure and substi tuting fresh earth for .it. but tbe end will only be delayed, not prevented. Even when the run is large enough and the fovHrnot too numerous so that the grass is not destroyed, toe ground will ultimately become foul unleea the grass grows long and heavy and the toil is given a rest. . - So far at confined runt are concerned, it is necessary to show how the ground can be kept sweet, for if this were im possible tbe limitation would abut out large numbers of those whose opportu nities of poultry keeping are neoessarily limited. There ia muob difference in oils. In the case of heavy day, the manure lies more upon the surface and ls not absorbed to the tame extent at with light soils. . Therefore tbe effect would be more rapidly apparent. I have known poultry kept ruooessf ally in very small runs, but this was where every few weekt the earth. waa entirely re newed to the depth of six inches and probably dug up meanwhile. Where a fair amount of space it available, the better plan it to divide tbe ground into two parts, and use only one-half at time, transferring the birds every tlx months. . If these runt are in turf, it will be enough to allow tbe grass in the unoccupied portion to grow long, putting it once in summer when thick, or tbe air will not get down into the ground so freely. - By so doing mncb of tbe ammonia will be exhausted and nitrogen restored to tb aolL But this method cannot be adopted for small runs, as tbe birds will kill tbegrasa, and then the preferable plan ls to dig over tbe unoccupied portion and either tow clover teed or plant quick growing cab bages, the latter preferred. By so doing a dual advantage is obtained, for not only it the danger of tainted soil mini mized, but at tbe same time the manure it utilised in a way which makes it profitable. Many of those who have tested this system bave expressed tbeir surprise at tbe splendid vegetable ob tained, bot this It to be expected, for the earth is rich lu those elements which form vegetable matter. If, how ever, tbe poultry runs can be planted with fruit tree, they will render very groat tervioe in the direction indicated. Bnt they should not be planted too closely. Under these circumstance it would only be necessary to take off one crop of vegetable or roots in the year, By adopting this system a double crop Is obtained from the toil, and tbe van out element are utilized to the full, preventing their being wasted, Tbe question is frequently asked at to bow many birds can be kept on an aar of land. If I bey are to remain there per manently, I should not advise more than 40, but when tbe system already advised it adopted that la, changing tbe ru twioa that number may be kept. At tbe tarn time crowding I Inadvisable, be cause, if bhds are to live In one place. they are more likely to qoarrel if in too great numbers. Farther, crowding is an soonotnio mistake.

"About one-fifth of the counties of tbe state have since adopted this new road law and are now keeping up and im proving tbeir highways, either by con viot or hired labor. This system meets with general approval wherever it bas been tried, and it is now only a ques tion of time when It will be universally adopted throughout the state. "Tbe usual method adopted in this system of road working it at follows Convicts or fiee laborers are organised into squads, consisting of 15 to 48 men, who are placed nnder a oompetent su perintendent and one or more overseers. Each squad it furnished with a camping outfit, two or more road machines. wheeled scrapes, wagons, from 10 to 20 mules,4 plows, etc. The work usually commences on tbe leading roads radiat ing from the county seat and oonsists first in going over the road with ma chines, giving tbem tbe propar crown. opening op tbe side di tabes, macadamiz ing the boggy places and occasionally cutting down tbe grades of tbe steeper bills. Tbe main highways being tbui worked over, attention is tben directed to tbe lest Important roads, until all ol tbe public highways in tbe county have been., ciowued and .properly drained. This first working umaily requires from one to two years, depending upon the condition of the roads and the numbei of bauds employed.
