Hints to Apple Growers.
La the older parte of Ontario, enoh as
the counties of Middleeex, Perth, Oxford,
and Brant, as well as a portion of Huron,
where the best apples grew in times gone
by, today there is a great neglect of young
tree plantiug art well as of pruning, and
the neartrat result is a diminution in the
quality of the fruit produced. Now in
Grey, }0 the northeastern part of Der-
ham, and in the oonnty of Nortbomber-
land, the young orchards are jnet about
equal to the older ones in number, chow•.
log that planting is there going on vigor.
onely.
In the former oases there is no doubt
the trees were planted from some twenty
five to forty years ago, when there was no
exact knowledge of, and perhaps, but
little experteuoe in varieties, when early
apples were in demand, wheu the soil was
new, when innate, pests and fungous
diseases were rare, and when the only
skill required was simply to take the
fruit. Under these ciroumetaneee the
business of apple growing was exoeediug•
ly polite -Me ; but there aeon came a glut
of the earlier varieties. They were not
suitable for the export trade, so that as
the home market was supplied there wae
to further oall for them. The soil loot
something of its virgin freshness ; the
trees would not grow so well ; and with
the increased number of trees there ono
a quadrupled 'memo infungous diseases.
and insect peate. Not only was there a
falling off in the demand for the panic•
alar variety they were growing, but there
was an increased difficulty in growing
any variety ; Moe farmers got the idea
that there wee no money to be got out of
apples and they let their orchards run
wild, they allowed noxious 100001010 mul-
tiply and fungous dieeaeee to run their
course, with the inevitable result that the
oroharde were almost ruined, In the
Georgian Bay district, however, it is not
difficult to persuade farmers that orchards
090 be made to pay ; but everyone should
understand that to be a euoaeseful
apple grower be meet choose suitable
varieties, adopt clean cultivation, Immo
'systematic pruning, spray at the proper
time in the proper manner, with the
proper solutions, and divot oarefal atten-
lien to coo orop9. "Where ignorance is
blies tie folly to be wise"is not the 0010000
of horticulture. This the Dominion
Department of Agrioulture is trying to in•
etil into the minds of fruit growers by
means of lectures and object lesoone. .&

will never be forgotten ; it was nature

to the uonvereiou of the desert into a

It doee not always fall to the lot of a
Goverutneutte witoese the good retrain;
of mieeiouary zeal ; but here in O0nda
we are constantly reaping where we have
sown ; and Mr. MuNeill reports that the
revolt of the forward policy of t•he Minster
of Agriculture hoe a'ready in the fruit sea•
Hon led farmers in the older portions of
Ontario to abandon their Fortner aloven•
aurae and to go in for clean cultivation ;
while in the newer districts the fruit
growers themselves so appreoiate what
Ma been done to help them that they
have become living expooeute of the game
policy.
T., enure and maintain profitab'e apple
ettitivatiou after following out the work
necessary, everythine depends uponthe
variety cultivated. The grower must
produce what the ma•ket requires ; the
market will no longer be content to
adapt itself to the whims of the grower.
No matter how healthy or prolate a tree
may be, if the fruit be not of the right
variety it ie valueless.
Uodonh'edly Winter varieties are
paying beet.
The four varieties of apples that are
receiving the most attention pow arc
Baldwioe, Ben Davie, Greeniuge, and
Spies. A9 tbeee varieties cover only the
Fall and Winter months it ie certainly
not wiee to overlook entirely the early
sorts ; .bece.nee there must spring np a
market for the earlier sorts as soon as the
others have got the market securely.
Top grafting received a great deal
of attention teat Spring. The average
farmer think° there is some myebery
about grafting, so it is very gratifying
thio year to find him amenable to culture
on the point. It is grattf,7iog to discover
how many farmers are taking up grafting
for where it has been eminently moose.
fol. Oue Outerio farmer who had never
grafted a tree in hie life, after bearing
Mr. Dauntil'e leoture some time ago top
grafted a large number in hie orchard,
and hie lovsea were under three per cent
of the number grafted.
Graftio, should be made a part of
every boy's education. Notwithstanding
all the Dare the nurserymen on give to
hie stook, serious mistakes will be made
in the varieties ; and if for no other
reason than that every lad should know
how to perform so simple an operation as
grafting. -
Trees have individualism just as
animals have ; and for reasons that we
•oanno1 OXplaia one tree with apparently
no better Mance than another growing by
its aide, of the same variety, will be pro
lifia while the other is oomparatively bar.
ren.
The beet orchards of the Wore will be
those that are planted with some hardy
vigorous stook like onr Tolman sweet, or
Maomahou's white ; and when thoae
have formed a stook ahead at two or three
years old they may be top grafted from
eeleoted trees.
As. the nurserymen praotiaee propaga-
tion he 8Z0001ses no disarimivation,
because his anttinge are from prodootive
and non.prodootive trees alike, and more
often than not they are taken from trees
that have not come into bearing at all,
oousequently be mast perpetuate a good
many poor epeolmeue.
The man who top grafts has an oppoe.
tunity to examine a thousand trees, and
oeleoting the beet Dao top graft hie whole
orchard with the confident expectation of
baying nearly all his trees approach very
near in merit that one in the thousand
that he eeleoted for hie grafting.
Ona moo why top grafting cannot be
recommended to the average farmer in.
dieoriminately is that he cannot be always
induced to do the work at the proper
time or in the proper manger. He can•
not always be trusted in the matter of
of selection. And he ie too apt to be
oaxeless and indifferent, leaving the great.
er number of hie trees engrafted to the
serious deteriment of the symmetry of the
orchard.
