About Drying Apples.
October and November are the best months
for drving apples, and the well-ripened, choice,
fall varieties, are l>y far the best for that pur
jtose. Some jicoplo have an idea, that any I hinjr
in the slm| e of an apple, bit; enou rh to pare,
eat, and core, let the flavor be what it may,
it just as g<od for drying as another. We beg
leave to correct this error. It is just as im
portant to have a good apple to dry, as to cut
raw, cook, or bake. To those, therefore, who
want good dried apples, we will offer a few sug
gestions.
Ist. Let your apples l>e of good size, fair in
shnjic, choice in flavor —sweet or tart, as yon
may prefer, but both arc good for a variety of
purpose. They should le gathered without
bruising ; laid by till nearly ri|e, but not
quite rij>e ; pared with a machine—if you have
a good one— and quartered, or half quartered
according to the size of the fruit, or the use to
be made of the dried.
2nd Let the work lc done as rapidly as
possible, for the fruit may ripen too fast after
iieginning to do them, and keep the cutting and
coring up with the paring ; for the the
open flesh ol the fruit Itecomes exposed to the
atmosphere, not heated, it liegins to lose its
nroma, moisture, and flavor, all to the, damage
of its qualify when dried.
3rd. If you choose to string them, which
may be done, or not, lis you prefer, do it as
soon us you can. We should not dry thus,
preferring wire racks for the purpose. Then,
instead of hanging them up by the side of the
house, in the sun, or in the kitchen, where
millions of Ilies will alight upon, and live on
thein for several days, put them in a kiln, or
drying-room, with n heat of a hundred degrees
of thermometer Lt the kiln be ventilated at
the liottom and lop, to pass off the exhaling
moisture, but not enough to make a pereccpli
ble draught through it.
4th. When the drying heat has sufficiently '
closed the |>ores of the cut fruit to prevent the j
escape of its nrotiin, the heat may lie modifier)
ten or twenty degrees, and so continued un
til they are sufficiently cured for storing away,
which may he known by breaking a few pieces
nnd the absence of any settled moisture in the
flesh, showing fermentation.
sth. When sufficiently cured, pack them
away in sinnil bags, or sacks made of common
cotton sheeting, or light flour sacks, not closely
crowded in, hut as they will naturally fill ; tie
them closely, and hang them to nails on the
side of u dry room. They will thus keep inde
finitely, or till you want to use, or market
them.
A well selected apple, properly pared, cut,
cored, and cured, is one of the best luxuries of
the table, while indifferent varieties, carelessly
worked up, strung and dried in the kitchen,
half covered with flies, fused with the steams
of cookery, dust, and the accumulations and
exhalations of an ojien, disordered living-room
nrc not fit to eat, nor even to sell. We have
seen apples dried nfter the latter fashion, even
in the households of otherwise tidy people ; and
to those who are in the habit of doing so, wc
say, try the other plan, and if they do not ac
knowledge it a better way, in every possible
use an apple ean he put to, call upon us, for
the difference in expense.
BEST TIME FOR TRANSIT.A NTIXO —With every
returning Fall and Spring, the question arises:
Which, on the whole, is the best season for
transplanting 1 We do not propose, now, to
discuss the question at length, but merely to
btate a few general principles.
Before planting, the question to be consider
ed first, is the nature of the soil into which our
trees are to be set. If it is wet, and cannot
easily be made dry hy draining and trenching,
then in that ease, assuredly, Full planting is
not the best. Trees set in such soil in
Autumn, get but a slight hold of the earth he
fore Winter sets in. The stagnant water at
lhe roots not only cankers them,hut by alternate
freezing and thawing, heaves them out and ex
poses them to the air. And when all this
does not occur, the stem of the tree is swayed
about in the soft cnrtli, making a hole around
it for the descent of air to the roots. When
Spring opeus, such a tree, if alive, is in a poor
condition to make a vigorous growth. If trees
Must he planted in such soil—which, hy the
way, we much question—l lie host way would
lie to wait until Spring, or to dig them up in
the Fall, "heel them in" in some dry and
sheltered spot for the Winter, and set them
out as soon as Spring fairly opeus. But we
must say that, considering the many kinds of
disease* to which all kinds of trees are subject,
we would go without trees —fruit trees, certain
ly—rather then set tliein in a cold, wet soil that
cannot be reclaimed. Would it not lie better
still to sell the uncongenial land, and buy bet
ter if dpiii lng cannot be effect d ?
The same general principle would apply in
the case of planting upon an exposed and bleak
site. Trees set out in the Fall, on such laud,
would be likely to get lashed about or blown
ovor hy tho winds of Winter, In-forc getting
established. Set out in April, the roots would
fret a pretty firm hold before Autumn cauie
around, and would sustain the tree in its place.
Again : trees whose hardihood is at all
doubtful, should not lie planted in the fall.—
They are not in a condition to resist the cold
of winter. Trees are often condemned as tender
and the nursery-men who sell them get roundly
abused, because the trees perish the first wintci
aftbr transplanting when they would undoubt
edly hare lived had they becu set out in
Bpring.
That evergreens of every name should he
transplanted only in the Spring, we need not
now stop to show. Some of the hardiest kinds
may go through the winter safely, after fall
planting, but theory and experience testify
against the pratiee.
With some exceptions like those, we say,
plant in the Autumn. Hardy trees, sack a*
the apple, cherry and plum, nnd forest trees
generally, set out in good warm soil, gain a
decided advantage by this treatment. If set
out early in the full, the ground gets well set
tled about the roots, and considerable root
growth is made before winter sets in. By this
means, they are prepared to endure the cold
of winter, and to start forth vigorously iu the
Fpri ig. In fall planting, it is well to throw up
a mound of earth a foot high around the trunk
to prevent hard freezing of the roots and to
keep them firmly in ther plucc. This precau
tion will also prevent mice from barking the
trees. Large trees and those with short roots
should be well tied to stakes, to preveut their
being blown over by the winds.
fcsg- The Ibirhnin breed of cattle are being
extensively introduced into the interior of
Maryiaud.

U AMMONTO.V LANDS- NEW ENGLAND SETTLE
MENT BARF, OPPORTUNITY- To ALL WANT
ING FARMS -in a healthy place, twenty-five mile-, from
Philadelphia, on the Camden and Atlantic railroad. New
j .lei-sev. Ail old e-t.itc has recently 1 -n opened for sal.-,
j and tin- first division of 10,000 acres divided upinto farms
i of twenty acres and upwards. The soil is of the hest quali
ty for tl.e production of fruits, grains, Ac. The price is
sls to S2O per acre, payable in easy quarter yearly instal
ments, within a term of four years, with interest. The
terms arc made easy, ju order to insure the rapid im
prominent ol the land, by enabling sorry industrious man
to toifi u J'mm. It i- now ls.-itig' extensively improved by
good loads, and some of the best citizens from New Eng
land and the Middle States are erecting large improve
ments. It is a scene of the greatest improvement out of
Philadelphia. Seventy-five houses have Is-en built ill four
months. Practical farmers and business men from the
length and breadth of tiie Union are settling there. It
it) an important business place, on account of it- lieing
in the midst of a great market. Every article raised up
on this laud finds an immediate sale. The water is ex
cellent., and no such thing as fever is known.
The soil is a sandy or elay loam, with a clay bottom
and retentive of manures. It is tree of atones and easily
worked. It abounds largely in the phosphates, and such
is its fertility that from the crops produced both upon
this land and the large area adjoining under cultivation,
it will la- found not to be excelled anywhere in the pro
duction of crops most adapted to its market.
The reader may he well aware that the eiuliest and the
best fruits and vegetables come from New Jersey, which
are annually exported to the amount of millions of dol
lars. The land, la-sides la-ing accessible in every way for
fertilizers, has an abundant supply of the best quality ol
mink manure.
Lnnila-i and building materials can la? bad on the spot
at a cheap price, from the mills. Oilier mills are now
living opened, and brickyurds la-ing stal led on the ground.
A person can put up -a frame tenement for present con
venience for one hundred dollars. On account of the ex
tensive emigration, this is the best course to in order to
got a place to live in at first. Carpenters and builders
are on hand to put tip houses on the lic-t terms.
In settling here the emigrant has many advantages.--
He i- within a few hours' ride of the great eilie- in the
Middle Stat'-s and New England : lie is near his old friends
and associations ; lie is in a settled country, where every
improvement and comfort of civilization is at hand; he
is in a healthy place, and is not subject to the certainty
of losing the greater part of his family and hisown health
by those malignant fevers which make the graves of so
many millions of the young and hardy in far oil' regions
away from home and friends. Besides, he has a mild
climate and an open winter.
There arc three trains daily to Philadelphia, and to all
those who improve the railroad company gives a free
ticket.
The reader will at once lie struck with the advantages
here presented, and ask himself whv the property has not
Is-en taken up before. The reason i's, it was never thrown
in the market; and miles- these statements were correct
no one would Is- invited to examine the land liefore pur
chasing. This till are expected to do. They will sec the
land under cultivation ; they will meet persons, no doubt
from their own neighborhood; they will witness the im
provements and can judge of the character of the popu
lation. Fersous should come prepared to purchase as
many are locating, and locations are not held on refusal.
