Naturally, , were the chief, center of in
terest, since their culture is becoming so
jfL, a source of income to the country,
from home and foreign consumption.
Sere was a large variety-but it was
melancholy to see how few perfect ones
a-e were. They were of - splendid size,
y of them, but scabs, 'knots, lopsides
and worm holes were the rule. "We ought
xTake a united effort through, the country
to get rid of the apple pests that are : in
ijrtag our orchards so fatally. Almost
JJery year a new and-unnamed Variety
of insect or blight springs up, ' till
te raising of orchards begins to be in
vested witn new terrors. " 5The only remedy
is high culture and eternal vigilance. Cfive
vour orchards tcp dressings of manure and
plow it in- lightly. Let hogs run in the or
chard to eat the wormy fruit as fast as it
falls. Keep the trees carefully trimmed so
as to make them compact beaded, and re
more a11 tbe useless growth of wood that
takes' away the strength of the tree,". Other
helps to orchard culture will be mentioned
from time to time. ;r J
Wo noted some of the most perfect ef the
fall and winter apples at the fair. . The fall
pippins were among the best ; There were
plates of mammoth: pippins; apparently
without a blainish, three to ; fcrur mcbes
across. One of the finest looking fruits-was
the old Vandervere. Among fall and early
winter specimens the Porter apple ,wa3 a

The Baldwin apple was very sound and
handsome. The Dominie was a" fine late
ia The Gloria Mundi is a winter apple
of tremendous size and quite perfect
growth. But the late winter apples par ex
cellence are the Russetts. They are medium
sized and compact and hard in the fall. As
January approaches, however, they mellow
down softly, and with the nuts and cider of
the long, cold evening are just unspeakable.
TheRoxbury and Golden Russetts are the
most noted. In the city market thssa are
on the fruit stands in the summer till ap
ples come ajain. At the institute fair
there was a plate of tolerable, -though
withered, Golden Ru3setts ' that had been
kept over from 1881 "

PRIZE TOMATftWSL -f -
.The picture shows the best looking heap
of tomatoes on exhibition. Two kinds are
in the pile, the Acme and the Livingston's
Favorite. Both are as smooth as an apple
quite without the crinkles and ridges that
make the old-fashioned tomato a burden.
The Acme seems to be the first favorite.
It has more of a purolish tinge than the
Livingston, and seems perhaps : a little
solider. ' - " , ; ..
For some reason the show of corn was
very poor. In respect to ether things, it
was plain to be seen, what everybody has
not yett learned, that the old, and well
known varieties : of both fruits and vege
tables will do to depend on, ever v time.
The following old varieties ; are still the
"boss": i White and - Purple Strap-leaved
turnips, Early Blood turnip beet and Mam
moth Chili squash. There was one of the
good old "Plat Dutch" cabbages, nearly a
foot and a half through,' looiing. solid as a
cannonball. A big pumpkin was about a yard
across, more or less. It looked big enough
to furnish Thanksgiving pie3 for a regi
ment. '- It- was of the pale yellow ridged
kind. -
' Fall Planting of Bulbs.
' , (Our Country Home.
' 7 all means plant some .bulbs this falU
In no way can you expend a small amount
of money in the garden to make it give you
more satisfaction. Tulips, hyacinths; cro
cuses and narcissus bloom early in the sea
son, - before any other plants are large
enough or advanced enough to produce
flowers in any satisfactory amount. They .
are so brilliant, and keep their "beauty so
long, that no garden can afford to be with
out them, v Two or three dollars will buy
quite a quantify of mixed bal b nowadays,
and the mixed collections are" quite as satis
factory to most lovers of flowers as the
named bulbs are, which will ; quite likely
cost as much, singly, as a dozen of . the un
named ones, and prove to be no more beau
tiful;:;:.: .... ;::,;v ;-
These bulbs should be procured -i and
planted in September and October, Select
a place for them where tiie' ground can be
kept free from water in spring. - If not nat
urally well drained, remove the soil to the
depth of a foot or more, and put in brick,
old bones, brtaken crockery, and anything
which will hold up the soil you have re
moved, sufficiently, "when it is returned, to
allow all surplus water to drain out of it
Make this soil rih with old and perfectly
rotten manure fronTa yard in which cows
have been kept. No other Is so good for
bulbs. Incorporate it thoroughly with the
earth in which your bulbs are
to be planted. This ' is all there
i3 : to ; be done, until .you set out your
bulbs. When yeu do that, put the larger
ones, like tulips and hyacinths, four or five
inches under the soil and about eight inches
apart-" 'The smaller ones Can be planted
more closely together, and not quite as
deep. .When cold weather sets in, it is well
to cover the beds with some coarse litter
from the barnyard. This nlust be removed,
as soon as the plants begin to come up in
spring. After they have bloomed annuals
can be planted in the bed, without interfer
ing in the least with the bulb's. Do not cut
off the tops, but let them ripen and die off
to suit themselves, ffl planting them do
not set them out in a haphazard way, but
keep each variety by "itself. It 13 a good
plan, when on3 has but few, to plant the
tulips in the center, with the hyacinths in
a circle about them, letting the crocuses
and scillas edge the bed.
Hen Cholera.
This disease destroys $15,000,000 worth of
poultry every year, somebody says. It
arise3 chiefly in consequence of filthy hen
houses. The symptoms are like this: The
chicks move feebly about with their wings
drooping; heir heads turn black and they
die in from twenty-four to thirty-six hours,
and on examination their craws are hard
and the .contents black. - : v
Kill ail the infected hens and burn their
bodies. . Burying won't do. For the others,
have all the surroundings as clean as a
white-washed wall. - Then a few drops of
carbolic acid in a quart f ;water mixed
with their feed, or alum water, or common
baking s oda and water, used for the same
purpose, will generally bring them through.
They must be watched, however, and every;
sick fowl instantly removed. . x
