Orchards.

Il is gratifying to relate that some Of our enterpris-
ing farmers are making preparations'to plant ont fruit
trees on quite an extensive scale. Let every farmer be
wide awake on the subject Of fruit. IF we are living
away up in latitude 44o North we are not going to
live on. pork and beans alone. We can have fruit,
and that Of our own raising. Young apple trees have
grow rapidly. There are a few bearing apple trees in
the Territory, aud the fuit is good. ,ge
Grated fruit trees of superior quality may be had Of
fruit growers in Illinois and Iowa or Missouri, but are
would prefer those produced here if they can be had,
and have no doubt that Ford Il Co., between st. Paul
and ST. Anthony, have large quantities to sell Of trees
raised here. That which is already acclimated, is GER
tainly more TO be relied on than the production of anoth-
.er latitude not acclimated. Plums and cherries are in
digenous to the country. There is no reason why the
largest improved varieties, therefore, will not grow here
as we'll as the common kind.
Nothing can be more pleasant about the farm than
an orchard-be it large or small-of the best fruit, such
~as.appfes, cherries, plums, and pears, with side orchard
Of currants, gooseberries, biackberries, raspberries, and
Strawberries. They take up but little ground, require
comparatively little attention, and yield a great deal Of
pleasure and profit. Fruit to is necessary to us stupid
meat caters Without it, and this proper vegetables,
we could not resist the scorbutic influences of animal
food, and would soon become altogether a savage race.
I assert it, fruit is a great corrective in the dietary
economy, and we cannot be too vigilant in its produc.
We want to lie posted on the Fruit Culture in
Minnesota. Cannot some of our Oldest pioneers give
some reflections on this subject that shall be interest.

the whole great West ever rose more rapidly or prom
worth that were bought a year ago for six dollars each ?
Only a little while ago three Of Mem rere soM FIR one

the rate Of interest per month that will increase eighteen
dollars in one year into one thousand dollars.
Will not the same thing take place in Louisville If
such results have been attained in Nininger by judi
cious combination of numbers and wealth, that will be
the results in Louisville when that combination is benz
not to the erection of houses, which will rise of them
selves with the necessity for them, but to the bringing
to the heart of the town that great avenue of trade IA
Railroad, that great desideratum of modern times, with.
out which commerce moves not, man travels not, and
cities GROW not the all in all of progress and advance
ment.
That road once built who can doubt that lots in Louis
vile, be worth from five hundred dollars and upwards
to five thousand. 1t would make Louisville the en,-
porium of the Minnesota River, collecting into its folds
all the wealth and commerce of the region around it.
We will say A. Il. buys ten lots for ten dollars each,
making in all one hundred dollars. lie subscribes at
the same time for ten shares of Stock, on which he pays
fifty dollars per month, fer twenty months, at the end
Of which time be has paid up the full value of his Stock,
viz, 81 200. In the meantime, month after month,
rails have been laid, and depots have been built. What
are A. BIS lots worth? At a reasonable calculation
one thousand dollars each. If lots in Hastings, Shake
pee, and various other towns, are now worth that sum,
will not the lots in a Railroad terminus be equally
valuable?
How then do A. BIS accounts stand.

it still lower, put them at $3.50 each, and you still leave
a profit of s 2,437. Or say that by any possibility after
the Railroad is built he gets a price less than many Of
the lots have already been sold for, viz, 500 each, and
he has still a profit of 81, 1913, a magnificent increase
upon the sum Of 500 invested less than two years

PorAroEs-WnAr MADE THEM Rot Here is one
example like thou .and of others. Last Spring a friend
Of ours planted On his farm at F~latbush, L.. L., SIX
varieties Of potatoes, all the same day, on the same soil
and MANFRED and treated every way alike. The varie-
ties were Mcrcers, Carriers, Pinkeyes, Dykemans, a new
variety from Claverack, N. Y, and another from Ire
land. Of these, the MERGERS, Pinkeyes and Dykemans
all rntted, while the other three were not affected. The
experiment vas on a large scale, and the seed of some
varieties was obtained from several distinct localities.
Now what made these three varieties alone rot. In
other similar experiments the rot has been found in the
varieties not aHecte> in this instance.
We are constantly asked how we explain the potato

INSTRUMENTATION.

DR.. Holmes, in the last of his Auto
crat papers, says:
"Self appreciation is slow and gradu-
al process. At first child thinks he can
do everything. I remember when l
thought I could Lift house if l would
only try hard enough. So began with
the hind wheel Of heavy old family
coach built like that in which my Lady
Bountiful carried little King Pippn. if
you happen to remember the illustrations
of that story. lifted with all my might,
and the planet pulled down with all its
might. The planet beat After that my
ideas of the difference between my will
and my muscular force were more accu-
rately defined. Their came the illusion,
that [ could. of course, click" "serre out,
or polish off" various small boys who
had been or might be obnoxious to me.
The event Of the different ''scttos" to
which this hypothesis led, not uniformly
confirming it, another limitation of my
possibilities WAS tho consequence. In
this way I CROPPED along into knowledge
Of my physical relation to the organic and
inorganic universe.
A man must be very stupid indeed, if
by the time he is fully ripened, he docs
not know tolerably well what bis physical
powers are. His weight height, bis gen.
eral development, his constitutional force,
his good or i'll looks, he has had time to
find out; and be is fool, if he does not
carry reasonable consciousness of these
conditions with him always. 1t is little
harder with the mind; but some quail
ties are generally estimated fairly enough
by their owners. Thus a man may be
trusted when he says he / as a good or
bad memory. Not so of his OVID opinion,
of his own judgement or Imagination. 1t
is only by very slow process that he
finds out how much or how little of these
qualities he possesses. But it Ia one of
the blessed privileges of growing older,
that we come to have a much clearer
sense of what we can do and what we
cannot, and settle down to our work
quietly, knowing what our tools are and
what we have to do with them.
