Another Chuptcr About Fruit.
ln my first chapter gave a description of
several varieties of Summer apples. We shal
in this give u list of Fdl fruits. Perhaps
there is no branch ol agricultural pro.
ductions that pay better than the growing o.
good fruit for market respectfully when mar
ket is attainable. Since railroads are so near
is, it will well pay the farmers and fruit grow
RS of this county 10 try the exp rlment.
No surer source of income, it may be safely
'rged aud at highly remuneratng prices, can be
.ound than that OF fruit orcboId--'conslsiing
of proper assortment Of the best varieties oi
fruit In localities not very near market
structures for driving can be built at small cS
pense, which will render the business paying
one. Many varieties of Fall fruit are well
adapted to this purpose. There is always de-
mand for good dtyeI iruit--whiCh increases
every year. Hear what an individual well
posted on this subject says: Large sums OF
money ure expended abroad annually Tor fruits
which might easily be produced at home In
much better perfection, aud at far cheaper cost

have been imported from France 10y the New
York conrectoners. In bddiuon tn our home
market, large foreign market will doubtless
spring up. American opplcs and prals have al
ready been Sold in Europe AMI the East Indies
in fresh state, and peaches aud strawberries
have been sent To the West ladies' 1t is fair
then to assume that as facilities for quick trons-
portaton increase, and MS the various processes

fected, not only all sections of our widely ex-
tended couutry-but the morkets oi the whole
world will be open to our fruit Srowers' But
should both home and foreign markets fail us, it
furnishes no good reason why every iarmel
should not rlant aud cultivate enough to suppl,
his own wants, and every mechanic and othe
head of family have his well stocked fruit gar
den. How many of the farmers Throughout, thi
county do not produce enough for their owl
consumption. This home supply should at leas
be furnished--let the markets be as they may.
