FRuiT.--We received few days ago sever
al different varieties of pears, from the Gardei
of DR.. J. w. Thomson, which fact prompted
US to say few words about the production o
fruit. 1t is to be regretted that greater mum
Der Of persons do not give their attention to
this matter. We have known farmers to hav,
few peaches, very limited number of apples
and no pears, grapes or plums. In fact nc
enough Of any kind Of fruit to supply then
with material for pies. There are scores witt
a hundred acres or more of land in this stua
tion to-day. This is too bad, as the setting
out of trees and vines need cost but LITTLE
money AMI take but little time, while fruit
would not only add to the qualification of the
palate but also DO a source Of profit, as the
prices aFe fally remunerating in all tho cities
of our country. A good peach orchard, ever
lift only bears four or Ave years, will pay sew.

Cured in setting it out. The apple tree re-
Quires some twelve or fourteen years growth
before it commences bearing fruit, but this
should not preclude setting it out, for there
" Il always he people as long as tho world
stands, and the present generation should do
something for their successors. The dwarf
pear, grapes, &e., will bear fruit in two or
three seasons after planting, and will amply re-
pay for all work and trouble. Those who
doubt this should have visited the garden of
DR.. Thomson week or ten days ago, and
Judged of this matter for themselves. The
dwarf pear waa first introduced in this section
by him, and his experience should be useful to
the citizens at large. We wish all would i'm.
itate the example he has set. Tho country
"ouid be hundreds and thousands of dollars
better oil, without estimating the qualification
and pleasure at anything. WHY should not
every owner OF a farm, or even renter, set ont
trees, vines, &c.2 We trust that the Oood
work will be commenced at once, and every
house in the State will soon be surrounded
with trees and vines, fruits and flowers, which
not only add beauty but comfort and value to
the property.
WHAT We EAr.--The Rochester Democrat
chronicles the arrest of butcher In that city
for blowins meat. "And what is blowing
meat ~ inquiries friend at our elbow. Ii ia
thus described:
"The process consists in inserting a hollow
tube, such as quill Or pipe stem, in II quarter
Of veal or lamb and then with the breath of tho
operator, initiating tho fatty part Of the meat o
to the greatest possible extent. 1t will at once
be seen that while this process may add to the
attracilveness of the appearance of the meat,
II can scarcely improve its flavor or quality,
