Agricultural
Fruit Trees j
Which an Expert says are
Worthless?" German
Grafted Fruit Trees," and
also the "Bush Strawberry."
Krom Raleigh Paper:
State Horticulturist H. Harold
H ume yesterday gave out an in
tcrview in regard to two frauds
being practised upon the farmers
of lh? Srnt? Hh huo U
large number of letters asking
for information in regard to Ger
man grafted fruit trees and the
bash strawberry.
The statement Mr. Hume issued
is as follows:
It appears that certain parlies
have been selling or attempt
ing sell, what are called Ger
ruan grafted trees. 'I he parties
represent these trees as beicg
i . J - - _ * i '
graneu on a siock or root which,
imparts some peculiar property
or virtue to the sion so grafted
that when it grows, becomes a
tree and bears fruit, neither the
branches, leaves, nor fruit will be
attacked by insects, rots or mildews?certainly
a much-to be do
sired condition in any tree ? but
unfortunately the whole tiling is
a pure fake, made up by some
ingenious and dishonest mind to
delriudthe tree planting public.!
Farmers should beware of agents,
or any one else making such re
prountitions because they are
fni-e and impossible.

was paid to the housing
of cattle, especially in the low
country. They were expected to
tako the weather, and, at most,
might find retuge under an open
shelter, where the cold wind and
the driving rain could beat in
upon them. But happily there
has been a change, and the man
who owns a cow and expects to
get the best results from tier is
is careful about her food and
comfortable stable as he is to see
that his hoise is well provided
for in such things. Unfortunately,
however, there are some poo
pie who are not as mindful of
their horses, iu this respect, as
they should be. Show us the
farmer who has pood stock and
you will generally find that it i.

But most especially should
there be a change in the houses
occupied by laborers on farms,
j Many of them are not habitabh
ana are a reilectioti upon the
owners. A house with only one
room is not large enough for any
family. It should have at least
four rooms, and they should be
plastered or ceiled. And when
t>ie work is completed, several
coats i f paint should he added,
which will add not only to the
appearance, but the paint is a
protection to the building. S m
