Bead btfortihe Lehi:aster County Horticut• tura Roddy, March 4th, 1867. - It is not my object in this Essay on the Apple" to' enter into its , history, or to trace its Various grades of improvement during the ages that ['repast. Nor will it be ntxtatisary.to saY anything of its uses, as from theway Oat specimens usually make their' dittapprance, we naturally come to the corgslusion that at least one o ur purpose understood. It is enough for Baldwin, that such glorious fruit as the Northern Spy, Norton's Melon, Rambo, titc., are in existence, and the ques tion that is important to us, is, how to have them. The time was, not a quarter of a century ago, when the apple crops rarely ever failed. ear s in even year was called the apple year, in which we might with certainty look for great crops of apples. Then select applesponld be had at 28 cents a bushel, and eider at $1 a barrel, Great quantities were fed to stock, and wagon loads were sent to the distillery, to lie converted into Apple-jack, pro bably the only bad use that could be made of that noble rust. But a change has come over the apple crop here.lnstead of coming with a certainty every other year, it comes atlong intervals, and when it does come, usually bids us be satisfied with half a crop. The theories for the causes of this change are various : The first is, that the fault lies in the cul tivation • that trees are not properly taken care of, &c. But these are idle assertions, for we have scores of intelligent cultivators amongst us, who know how to plant, prune and cultivate, and who are no better re warded for their pains than others who pay less attention to their trees. If those who find fault with cultivators would beat in mind that formerly the old trees on the common, made their regular crops every Other year, without cultivation, without pruning, and are now as barren as any, they would cease slandering fruit growers. 2nd. That varieties deteriorate or wear out from old age. If this wore so they must do so everywhere. Our Rambo is not as formerly. But in some of the Western Slates it Is now as fine us it over was bore. The variety then has not deteriorated. 3d. That trees are not us thrifty as for merly. But the experience of tree growers Is that young trees make as much growth and are us healthy as ever. 4th. That our climate becomes more va riable. That this change is caused by the destruction of our forests. If this theory is correct, and I think it is, our future prospect for fruit is not very flattering. The history of the Old World shows parallel changes. Districts formerly garden spots, became upon the destruction of the forests, barren wastes so rapidly, that " a single generation has witnessed the beginning and the end of the melancholy revolqtion." The woodman's ax is mercilessly plied, and if the warning voice, " Woodman spare that tree" is not 80011 heeded, half a cen tury hence may not only find the country without apples, but our cereal crops will frequently fail. This will be brought about by sudden and extreme changes in temper ature. But it does not become us to despond at future prospects. Our business as Horti culturists is to overcome the difficulties that aro in the way. For this purpose we must study what are the requisites for making a crop of apples. These consist of proper trees, soil, aspect, cultivation, pruning, varieties, &c. It will not be necessary in this paper to treat of the propagation of the apple. Few cultivators would fi nd It prolltabl to grow trees from seed. But persons about to plant .should select healthy and stocky trees, from six to eight feet high, and from two to three years old from the graft. The Noll of our county is well adapted for the apple. As a rule, we may say any ground that will yield a good crop of corn is adapt ed for the growth of the apple. Avoid plant ing on the site of an old orchard. The trees never do well on such situations. Aspect or situation is, perhaps, under our frequent failures, of greater importance to us than all other conditions combined. Northern slopes and high ground are the best. The reason is, trees commence to grow later, and thus escape more of the changeable spring weather. But sites are occasionally tound on low ground that have proven very good. The best orchard in my locality is on low, heavy ground, inclined to wet, with an Eastern aspect. The great advantage of this soil or situation is its coldness. The few warm aunshining days that so often start our fruit buds in warm situa tions, in March of April, have no effect here. It requires a more continued effort of the sun to force its warmth into it. The next best orchard is on dry ground, with an eastern aspect. This is protected on the North and West by high ground, and I think herein is its advantage. The proper situations then would seem to be those that are late, and those that have the proper protection. Strong growing ever greens sot at the time of planting an orchard, might by the time the trees came into bear ing, afford all the protection needed. But who Is posted up, to advise us where to place the screen ? or what currents of air to cut off? The subject is worthy of our at tention. It is important that a young orchard is well cultivated. Crops that require hoeing can be raised until the orchard is Bor le years old, alter which the land can be laid down in grass. But it must be borne in 'mind that bearing trees exhaust the soil, and it is important that the orchard receive occasional top dressings of manure, or they will soon show symptoms of decay. It is fashionable now to start the branches of trees within three feet of the ground. The disadvantage of the plan is, that on many varieties the branches become so low as to make it difficult to gather the fallen fruit. The object of pruning is to give shape to the tree, and to keep its bearing wood within bounds. Too much trimming has the effect of throwing the bearing wood too far from the ground, and the reverse will compel you to take out larger branches, and make larger wounds than are desirable. I would, however, rather err in the latter direction than in the former. Varieties are of considerable importance to the success of fruit growing. We here have a few varieties that appear to be weather proof. The number is small, but it may be that through our united observations we may find many more that possess that valuable quality. First on this list stands the "All Sum mer," a native of this county. For the last 15 years it tailed but once, (1861) in perfect ing a full crop of fruit It is a good fruit, ripening gradually from July to the last of September. Another native—" Crum mol's Sweet"—is equal to it in bearing, keeps until midsummer of the following year, but is of inferior quality. Hubbardston Nonsuch is also to a great extent a weather proof apple. It may not be inappropriate to give a list of the apples which have proven the most reliable with me: Summer—All Summer, Red Astraean, Bonen!. Fall—Maiden's Blush, Jeffries, Hubbard aton Nonsuch. Winter—Baldwin, Greist's Winter, Pitts burg Pippin, Fallawater, Norton's Melon, York Imperial. Of the insect enemies of the apple I shall say but little. Our Entomolgist can treat that subject much better than I. , A word in regard to the borer, the most formidable of all enemies, may however not be out of place. Cultivators of the peach have Ceased to consider the peach borer very formidable. One or two applications of fresh cow manure applied to the tree in a season is an effeetual preventive. If the worm has made a lodgment he is easily removed with a knife. The apple-borer is not so easily dislodged. But if trees are examined before the borer has made his entrance too far, he is easily destroyed with a flexible wire. Persons who have trouble with the borer should give the cow-manure remedy a trial. If that should fail, they can place a tarred belt around the base of the tree. That will effectually prevent the borer from entering at the ground, and if any should enter above the bandage, they can easily be re moved with the wire. The bandage should be taken away as soon as the season for de positing the egg is over, to give the bark time to harden. In conclusion, permit me,to say that my ex perience in keeping fruit is at variance with the rules laid down in the books. The books say, keep the fruit in a dry, cool cellar. My cellar has a communication with the well, from which a continual vapor arises. The Hubbardstown Nonsuch, Norton's melon and Pittsburg pippin, shown at the February meeting, are fall or early winter apples, and they were as plump and fresh as in December. It is, however, important that fruit is not placed in such a cellar until cold weather sets In. My object was to make this Essay as local as possible, and if in the effort I have succeeded in giving you a single good idea, I consider myself well paid for my labor. Those who desire a complete treatise on the apple will do well to consult the excellent works of Downing, Thomas, and others. ONLY A CRIER.

REPARATOR CAPILLI. For restoring hair upon bald heads (from whatever cause it may have fallen out) and forcing a growth of hair upon the face, ft has no equal. It will force the beard to grow upon the smoothest face in from dye to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads In from two to three months. A few Ignorant practitioners have as serted that there is nothing th-,t will force or hasten the growth of the hair or beard. 1 heir assertions are false, as thousands of 11 v us Wit nesses (from their own experience) can bear witness. But many will say, how are we to distinguish the genuine from the spurious? it certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the dif ferent Preparations advertised for the hair and beard are entirely worthless, and you may have already thrown away large amounts lu their purchase. To such we would say, try the Repa.rator Cappilli ; it will cost you nothing unleash fully comes up to our representations, If your Druggist does not keep it, send us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, together with a receipt for the money, which will be re turned you on applica.ion, providing entire satisfaction Is not given.
