AppLEs.-Wc have heretofore frequent
ly put on record the evidences that this
region can success ully raise apples. Mr..
Batchelderz of our: ncighborinS TOWN of
Trempealeau, across thu river, has just
placed Rpon our table some fine specimens
from his orchard. Some of the citizens
of that place carly gave their attention to
fruit culture, aud arc now richly reward
ed for their labors.-Mr. B. tells US that
he has twelve fine varieties of apples and
has raised all his trees could safely carry
for the past four years. Another gentle.
man Of that place raised last year. twenty
four varieties. The trees that have been
properly attended to present the most heal
thy and thrifty Appearance, and the great
est difficulty with them is, their burdens
of fruit are apt to be- greater than the
strength of the trees will bear. Some; of
Mr.. B's apples last year measured over
twelve inches in circumference. Pears,
plu,ns, Of different varieties, and other
fruits there are showing similar results.
We shall hereafter claim that VIC can not
only successfully grow these fruits, but can
do so moro successfully than in other lati-
tudcs rioted for fruit culture. -1v mona

We arc indebted 10 Chas. Utter Esq.,,
Of I'renpealeau, for as pretty a box Of
fruit, raised in his garden this year. as
often greets the eye Of editors, consisting
of two varieties Of plums, three Of pears,
and t.ro of apples. One Of the plums
measures five and a half inches in circum
ference, and ono of the pears nine and a
half inches: Que variety Of pluns Mr..
Utter propogatel originally from pits, is
most hardy. prolific and delicatcly flavor
ed. Mr.. Utter has large variety Of fruit,
of which samples sent us ale but a small
part, We are very thapkf full for this token
of remembrance from Mr.. u, and if any
one doubts that this country can raise 6ne
fruit, let himc-look in rour basket or visit
Mr.. Utter, and the scales will fall from
