Lowry took in 9,871 _bush- els of corn from March 3d to March roth. This is said to be the largest amount of corn ever taken in in seven days by any one dealer in Rockville, and, is probably more than all the dealers of Apple- ton or either Montrose took in in that time. Some steps should be taken by the township board to have the bridge over Shaw branch put in repair or put in a new one. Although it is a daily mail route and the main public road, we can expect nothing from apredjudiced county court. It is es- timated that the cost will amougt to between $150 or $200, which we suppose will have to fall entirely upon the expense of Rockville town- ship it we get the bridge, and that we must have, or lose our western trade.

Next, we not want too many varieties but we do not want that which is best and must profitable in its season, and this fact alone com- pels me to omit from my list a great many varieties which Iconsider well worthy of cultivation and which many of you would doubtless substitute for some I have placed on my hist.

Phis list gives a succession from the earhest to the very best keeping varieties which have proven them- generally successtul — and while it includes some that overlap others to some extent in ripening. still the lst can not be very much curtailed without leaving a gap of time not filled by fruit in its prime. Some of these varieties do not hil all the requirements, but I could recommend nothing better to take their place. ‘As to the commercial orchard i! should recommend: Ben Davis, Jon- athan, Smiths’? Cider and Willow Twig, and not sure but Gilpin or Little Red Romanite would pay about as well as any. Mo. Pippin I expect to try on_ its recommenda— tions, but personaly I know but lit- tle about it. In my list for a famuly orchard 1 have based it on one hun- dred whichL do not regard as too many for with that number when they begin to bear for the first few years there will be none too many tor an ordinary family, atter it gets to good bearing age it will become to some extent a commercial or— chard. as well as a family one, and I have arranged the varieties as to numbers with that object mn view. Ifso many is not desired I snould ale down the hist by striking out do selves s vaneties which ripen nearly at the time of some other and re- ducing numbers on the balance. I should be glad to add Roman Beau- y list. but there seems to be so much question as to what is Roman Beauty that I am afraid to recommenda it.
