ENCOURAGING,

The following article, which We CLIP
from the Chicago Democrat, seems to
argue that the soil and climate Of lows
are lar better adapted 10 The cultivation
OF domestic fruits, ,aan in any other
known country. This is an announce
meni we never expected to hear made;
but when men who have made the rear.
ing Of fruits the business Of their lives,
and who have enjoyed the advantage oil
personal inspection in mos, Of the civil.
lied countries Of the world, calmly and
deliberately render the palm Of victory
to Iowa. we mus. needs indulge a little
Il, Of honest pride; and. while others
huzza over political ,riumphs, and other
intangible sources Of momen,ary gra,ifi.
ca,ion,u up goes our cap for the new found
glory Of Iowa:
The fruit raised in the vicinity OF Bur.
ling,on, exhibited at the meeting of the
North. western Frui. Growers Associa
lion LAST week, was acknowledged TO be
the largest and fairest ever shown en-
such an occasion. here was such a
difference in size that growers from the
east not fully posted up, were no, able to
dis linguish The varieties. There were
apples anc pears for instance, weighing
a pound and a hall a piece, and peaches
and plums sever so large" Mr.. Barry
Of Rochester, N. Y, who has visited ex.
,ensivcly the nurseries of Europe, said
thai there were more apple trees in one
Of the nurseries near Burlington than in
oil OF those of England, Ireland and
Scotland, In Grea, Britain the land is
held principally by tenants. who have no
very s,long incentive 10 plan. trees, and
hence the demand is limited; on the con.
,inent, il is different. Almos, every ,iller
Of the soil is an owner. i: only . few
acres. They have an ambition to be-
come proprietors, ard hence the country
10 divided into innumerable small plania
tons, from one acre upwards. And
these are ornamented with trees ana
shrdbs. In France and Belgium this 10
especially the case-and even the ter.
ANS, what few. comparatively. there are,
partake Of the prevailing taste, and when
they remove, they take their trees. with
them, as of their personalitics-,he same
a. they remove their household furniture
This can be readily done, particularly
with The dwarfs.
