A Dish Of Apples.--good Sorts

Yes, Betsey, bring up a dish of gooi apples: some neighbors have happencd 111, tliis eveniug, and what can be better to sct before them. The man was right 'm what he siid to Betsuy; nothing is better to an unperverod taste than a tender, ini'd and s;icy apple. it refreíhes one'a spirits, grati fies the appetite, queuches tbirst, and furnis'nes healthy food. Thero was somohiiig mor u taan a joke in the adviee of Dr. JohnsoD to one of bis frieuds: "Ifpossible," said ho, "have a good_ orchard. 1 iiiow a clerjjyman of suwll ine:na3, who jrougiit up a family very reseotably, whicii he ohiufly fed on apple-duuiplings!" i Ftw tilinga will do more to promuts the health of a family, than to farnish them daily and tor the year through. with a pleoty of gjo4 rjjM apples. Thoy may be eaten both coóked and une okcd.- Tliey prom to good digestión, and earry oft'iuauy lmiaoi-3 wliioh would ol-hfcrwi :;;j aooumulate in the systom, to lts serious injury. Was it not some happy experience of the Uealthfulness of apples, that led certain of the aucienta to imagine that this fruit possessed the power of con ferring immortality, and "was watehed over by the goddes Idrcna, and kept for the special dessert of the gods who feit ihumselves growmg oldV" But we havo no special faith in heathon fables. We prefer to dweil upon visions of baked apples, fried apples, apple-butter, appla-pie, .pple-sauce. apple-Urts, and apple-jelly. '; Tha value of fruit as foá fur stock, is too well kri'own to nood enlarging upon. - Hcre is a single sentenee irom the J ransactions of the N Y. State Agrieultaral Society, whic'.i covers nearly the whole ground; ','As'Ide fiom its edible uses to man the apple is au important and econoinioal food for most kinds of farm stook Milcli cows thrive upan it, wlien fed in moderate quautities, aud it adds to the quantity and qttalityot their milk It is also an exeeüent foud in making beef,- Horscs eat it readily; for. thein it is a sueculent and healthy food. Shoep, swiu?, and geea, will faitea altogether on good applesj and for all kinds of poultry they are nutritiqua food." Not the least important qonsideration ia the value of' the apple as a markot fruit. It usually commands a roady sale, and is more easily raised tlian porhapa any other erop A farmar can not make a wiser iuveatment than to devote a portion of bis land to an orchard. Lat hiin choose the most mutable soil and exposure, and select the best varieties. Good apple cost no more to raise, than poor worthless wildings. To aid the inexperienccd in making up a list of unimpeaehably good varieties, wo jnsapj an a'jrtur.qut of those which ar admitted by genend consent to ran autong the very best in quality; we giv ten sorts for each season: SÜMMER APPLE3.
