some of the webs on the branches, j
and the danger is that many of tliei

A peculiar accident happened on I

when a log on a car next the ca
boose, which stuck out over the
edge of the track, struck a stump
and was forced backward into the j
caboose. There were two trainmen
in the latter and the big piece of j
lumber narrowly escaped striking 1
them. The one side of the caboose j
was completely torn off.

• >Six or wi'Vfii years «*;<» I tried to;
!4'ot. tin- fanners of them- comities in- '
! terrsteil in the Wnk apple, |
! ion account of its long-keepinjj q:»li
i ties, ah it would keep 12 months in i
j an' ordinary cellar, and was both a
' i £ood eating aud cooking app'e. But
■' very low became interested, and
i those on a very small scale. Hut
they said "You try it. Yon ex peri
| mi nt and we will see how it comes
iout." Well gentlemen 1 have ex
perimented with it and find it all
; riv.■ 11- The quality is good and the
" | keeping qualities cannot be surpass
jed by any apple known. They bear
>: every year and hang, on the trees.
,My trees commenced to bear the
i next year after planting, and liavt
borne every year since. 1 have had
fresh apples in my cellar every day
for the past six years, and some
• times two crops at a time. The
, fourth year from planting 1 raised
four bushels and sold them for thret
( dollars per bushel. That year we
had a heavy wind storm on .Septem
ber ;!oand October Ist, which blew
til my apples to the ground except
the Missing Unit and Ben Davis.
The leaves were blown off the Mi-s
--ing Link trees but not an tipple was
found on the ground after the storm.
That year apples were a drug in
j Wilkes K.rre and Scran ton markets
lin the fall, in many cases not pay
ling the expense-. I shipped eleven
| barrels to a wholesale house in
j Wiikes-l>arre and after two months j
received a check for two dollars and
fifty-six cents— not as much money
as one bushel of the Missing
Link brought. The next spring ap
! pies brought from one dollar to one I
j dollar and fifty cents per bushel in j
I the same markets, it i-? the tipple
! that keeps through the winter that
i brings the price.
In 1 DOT I had twenty-five bushels
iof Missing Links. I sold them F.
j 1 ). 1). lure at one dollar a bushel til! I
j hut the culls. i'h"-e 1 kept and
j when any person called at tiy house
jl gave him u cull Missing Link
|of l'.H)" crop, with the request'
| that they sample it now, and
'every person who sampled them
said they were g md. The 1 'st
one 1 had 1 gave to two gentlemen
on September loth, liiiis, with the.,
same; request. They .-aid they
were all right and a geiod apple
My other varieties of apples sold
that, year 4)ii December l-.f. at fifty
cents per bushel at the cellar. My
crop of Mi-sing Link apples for ItMis
was IS bushels. The dry weather
caused all tipples to I'ul from the
tree-two weeks before tin time to
pick them. My tipples were all oil
the trees b<fore Oct. Ist. The Miss
ing Links hung to tie trees and
I wer picked Oct. loth. The apple-
I buyers were offering from fifteen
j cents to thirty cents per bushel for
j apples sixty cent- p. r one-hundred
! pounds, delivered to the car, which
is about t\\ only-sewn ct lit per bush
el for hand picked apples. My Miss j
tug Link apples 1 putin my cell ar, |
j and tun holding thein for the May I
1 and June market of 11)0!). The year
| before 1 planted the Mi-sing Link 1 !
planted other long-keeping vareities
! that t.re not bearing yet. The Miss j
j nig Link apple trees have produced !
; apples enough to pay for the trees'
j before the other trees have com-1
I menced to bear. The Hen Davis,'
j the Uano, the Stark, the Kowels, i
lanett are all long-keeping apples, j
that will keep until Spring. The:
Rollers .lanett is a good apple and a i
j good bearer. It keeps until June'
i out is very small which is against it.i
! There is no doubt that any any of!
| you farmers who have applts that
' will keep until April or May will be!
able to get from one dollar to one!
| dollar and fifty cents per bushel for
j them at that time. You farmers
I have a home market in the Lacka-!
: wanna an I Wyoming valleys, with
j a half million consumers who are I
lot producers, that wouid take all'
| the apples thut you can itiise on
your farms, if the delivery of them
| were spread out over the whole J
i twelve months in the year, instead |
; if being forced upon them in large |
j quantities iu the fall. Hucksters!
I commence scouring the country for'
j apples the last of July, and continue!
jas long as they can find an apple. I
The only reason you are not visited!
every day in the year by these men i
jis that you have not planted and j
' rais 'd long keeping apples. Most
| farmers have more summer and fall |
apples than they can di. pose of at a
! fair price, but have no apples to put
ion the market in April and May.
