THE CRIMES 60LDEX APPLE.
j IT3 ORIGTX AXD HISTORY.
Tfce Crimes Golden is a Western apple
J and originated in Brooks county, West
i Virginia. By Avhora the seed was sown
i is not positively known, but believed
; to be a Mr. Crawford. This seedling
i was anions the first apple trees produc
; ed bv an American in the Ohio valley
; As such, without taking into considera.
tion the superior quality of the fruit, it
; is worthy to become a matter of history,
i The many jjocmI Qualities of loth tree
I and fruit constitute it doubly so. This
) extraordinary apple has few equals in
the catalogue of American fruits; it
' certainly has no suierior. Taking into
consideration the hardiness ami loner
life of the tree, its habit of constant
; liearinjr, the superior quality of the fruit
together with the the great length of
time it is in season, the Grimes Golden
! stands pre-eminent.
' The original tree, now over ninety
' years old, is in the orchard of Dr. Joshua
: Gist, formerly owned by Thomas I.
. Grimes, situate two miles east of the
Ohio river. This orchard of seedling i
1 trees was set out bv Edward Crawford
1 about the year lT'.n, and by him sold to
! Thomas Grimes, Sr., in 17".f9, at which
! time this noted tree bore the first crop
I of apples. It is said it has not failed to
. produce fruit every year since that time,
' It Is a choice apple for the southern
! market, where it is well known. As
: earlv as 1804, Mr. Grimes sold the ap
ples from the tree to traders on the Ohio
I river to 1 taken to New Orleans. In
18:54. the year of the severe frosts from
the 13th tc lth of May. which destroy- j

inal tree came into bearincr. the fruit
was called the Grimes apple, and some
time later the Grimes I'ippin. After
the late Sam. Wood a noted nursery-man.
of Jefferson county, .. commenced pro
pagating it, he added the word golden
calling it '-(irirues' Golden Pippin."
Although it is a legitimate member of
the pippin family of apples, at the an
nual meeting of the Ohio poiuological
society in the word pipin was drop
ped: since which time it has I wen known
as the Grimes Golden and this name is
now well established.
The tree is a strong, upright, spread
ing, open, rapid grower, very handsome
in form, and needs little priming ; wood
very hard and tough : bark dark green
ish brown : foliage, large dark green
and very abundant. The tree is an an
nual liearer and sets its fruit evenly
over the branches. The fruit is very
smooth ; size medium ; form oblong ob
late, sometimes a little angling at the
crown ; color light green, with numer
ous minute light dots when taken from
the tree, but becoming a rich golden
yellow when ripe : basin abrupt, toler
ably deep round and smooth; calyx large
and open: stem long and slni.ler ; cavity
deep and regular ; core small and closed;
saeds numerous, plump and dark brown;
llesli yellow, very fine grained, breaking
and juicy ; flavor slightly sub-acid, ari
matic, rich and sprightly ; use, dessert
and culinary; season from October to
April : quality best. G. A'., MUUis

. stuilent o history reails of the great st-a
tiiriit '.vliif-h King Klvv;wl III. i'otiglit
with the French off Huys; !nv in those
' ihiys. the merchant vessels came tip to
the wall of that 1'oiu i.hiiig seaiorL by
, every title; and how (a century later a
Portuguese fleet conveyed Isabella from
Lisbon, and an KngHsh li.-t-t brought
i Margaret f York from the Thames, to
marry successive Dukes of burgundy at
the I'ort of Sluys. In our time if a
modern traveler drives- twelve miles out
of P.ruges aerops.the Dutch frontier, ho
; will find a small agricul; ural town sur
rounded by corn fields and meadows,
and clumps of trees, whence the sea is
: not in sight from the top of the Town
Hall steeple. This is Sluys. A physi
cal .geographer will seek out the causes
j which have brought ationt this surpri
; sing change. They are most interesting
; and most conducive to an intelligent
comprehension of his science and he will
rind them recorded in history. Thus
i the historian and the geographer work
' hand in hand, each aiding and further
. ing the researches of the' other. Once
more. We turn to the groat l.aie du
Mount Saint Michael, 1-etween Xor-
j mandy and Ihittany. In Konian aii-
thors we read of the vast forest called
. 'Setiacum nemus," in the centre of
i which an isolated rock arose, surmonnt
; ed by a temple of Jupiter, once a college
j of Di uidness. .Now the same rock, wiih
; its glorious pile dedicated to St. Mich
j ael, is surrounded by the sea at high
j tides. The story of this transformation
j is even more striking than that of Sluvs,
, and its adequate narration justly earned
f"r M. Manet the gold medal of the
I French Ideographical Society in 1S2-.
; Once again let us turn for a moment to
I the Mediterranean shores of Spain and
the mountains of Murica. Those rocky
( bights, whose peaks stand out against
; the deep blue sky, hardly support a blade
of vr-getat ion. The algarobas and olives
at their bases are artificially supplied
: with soil. It is scarcely credible that
; these are the sainemountains which, ac
. cording to the forest book of King Al
fonso el Sabio, were once clot lied to
their summits with pines and other for
j est trees; whiie soft clouds ;ind mist
i hung over a rounded shaggy outline of
wood, where now the naked rocks make
! a hard line against the burnished sky.
: 15ut Arab and Spanish chroniclers alike
j record the facts, and geographical sci
i ence explains the cause. There is
: scarcely a district in the whole range of
' the civilized world where some equally
i interesting geographical story has not
; been recorded, and where the same al
. uable lessons may not be taught. This is
j comparative, geography.
j Inspect Voru AVohk. Many of
: our farmers who have no fqieeial place
( built for wintering vegetables and fruit
. store them in the cellar of the dwelling
! house. In order to keep them from
! freezing there, the cellars are banked
I up lightly in the fall. Xo ventilation
; N provided for, and the only way for es-
c.r,e of the noxious gases arising from
f decaying vegetables, is through the
. oixMiings in the, floor into the living
' rooms above, where it is dealing disease
! and perchance death to the occupants.
5 Is it surprising that, diphtheria, scarlet
' fever, and every other fever, result from
; such total disregard of the lawsof health,
j A ievson will pay this inattention to
; s initarv measures, and then if his ehild
I ren sicken and die he blames the weath
I er. or niurmersand grumbles at the dis
I iK-nsatioii of Providence cannot see
j why (iod should afflict him thus severe-
1 The Almighty is not to be blamed
I at all in such instances; the fault lies
at the man's own door, or rather in his
j cellar, and he ought to condemn him
i self, and mourn over his own neglect of
j dutv, instead.

A PRAIRIE FIRE.
In an article entitled '"Some Fea
tures of Kansas farming," In Scribner
for Xovember, Mr. Henry King gives
the following vivid description of that
beautiful scourge afire on the prairies:
Xext to calamities like that the home
steader's wife told of, the great beset
ting fears of the settlers on the border
in all the new and thinly settled por
tions of Kansas, in fact is the coming
of the autumn prairie fire, which so
frequently menaces their stock, their
stables and cabins, and even their lives.
Were it not for its known danger and
power of havoc this tempest and scourge
of fire would le a spectacle of command
ing force and beauty. First you will
catch glimpses of what you take to ba
gray wisps of haze away off on the hori
zon ; and watching you will see these
vagrant particles deepen gradually, and
gather into a definite volume of smoke,
black like a rain-cloud, and brouz
about the edges. Then the strange
sombre bulk starts forward across the
prairie, and you hold your breath at
sight of the rapid progress of it. (A
mif, in two minutes is not an exception
al rate of speed for a tire once under
headway.) It halts an instant, you note
i over a broad swale where there is stand
I ing water ; but it is for an instant only,
i The next moment it readies the upland
i again, and the dry grass: and directly
I it gTaspsa belt of the tall, thick blue
j fctem and the flame leaps suddenly and
j madly out aliove the smoke, then sub-
j sides again, and the black mass grows
I blacker thftn pvfr nnd rnll Hiirhpr ami 1

I seems an hour, and when you find that
: the lire has passed vow a mile or more to
i your right, and is still rolling desper
; ately onward, and tliore in its track are
I charred and smouldering stacks of hay
; and aa occasional house alia me and tot
, tering to its fall, and a group of men
' aud boys lieating back the outer line of
i fire with brush and old clothes, ami
i send forward little ccuiter fires to meet
, it and if possible keep it at a safe dis-
tance. The creek may stop it and smoth
j er it when it gets tliere, though such a
hope has a mere chance for a warrant;
; sometimes these mighty conflagrations
' vault across streams twenty or thirty
: yards in width, so swift and restless is
their momentum ; and as a rule they are
j effectually stayed only when they reach
j a wide extent, of plowed land and have
I to yield sullenly, for lack of anything
more to feed their inexorable fury.
i Kc;os kor Winter T'sk, It is a
1 foolish plan tole seeking t lie best nieth
I ods for putting down eggs for the win
J ter use, This used to le one of the
j first tests of thrifty housekeeping. Hut
it is better and just as easy to have hens
' lay all the year around, if hens have a
warm house anil enough to eat, and of
the right kind, they will lay in winter
as well as in summer. Farmers always
I expect to feed some grain to the fowls,
then if they would save all of the waste
meat and scrays that accumulate from
, the table, and feed it to the hens in
; winter they would be repaid in fresh
; eggs. It is also a good plan to hatch
out some early and some late chickens,
, as in that way the late ones will be lay
ing when the older ones want to set.
