Profitable Fruit Growing,

Profitable Fruit GROWING
We would like to have those who doub
the profits of fruit growing to call OF
some of our most entcrprising fruit grow.
ers at this season and examine for them
selves the crops Of fruit on some of the
young orchards planted by some of oul
most intelligent and enterprising farm
ers.
We would advise all who may contem
plate planting, or who may wish to salts
fy themselves Of the profits likely to BE-
realized from planting an orchard, to cal
upon some Of our best fruit growers and
inspect their crops of apples and learr
from their experience how to plant and
grow fruit proftably, and also the varie
ties most likely to prove profitable in oul
climate.
A visit at this season at the farm Of
L. L. Wright, of Cornwall, would prove
very profitable to even those who now
have good deal of knowledge of horti.
culture.
Mr. Wright deserves great credit for
his thorough, wide-awake enterprise, gen.
orally prefering to lead in all the i'm
proved notions of agriculture and horti.
culture, instead of following in the wake
of others, hence his experience is valua-
BILE to those who desire information as to
systems as well as of varieties, and those
who may call upon him will find him too
whole-souled to begrudge information or
specimens of fruit to test the standard of
excellence of the newer varieties of which
he has n very large collection now in
bearing.
We lately looked over the young orch.
ard of G. G. Cady, Esq, in this town,
and found it well loaded with very fine
and fair fruit. Mr.. G. commenced set.

Piles mainly on the hundred trees first
planted. The land has always been well
cultivated and made to produce good
crops, hence the trees have made a re-
markable growth, and are very large,
thrifty and healthy, and we have no
doubt that the present crop Of fruit will
show a handsome profit over all the ex.
penses incurred in the purchase and care
Of the trees to this time.
Those who are in doubt as to the prof.
it of fruit growing would do we'll to visit
Mr.. Cady's orchard and learn from him
whether it pays to invest in and take care
Of fruit trees.
Mr.. Cady has reason to be proud of
the fine exhibition he is enabled to make
as the result of his enterprise and intelli.
gence in the cultivation of his orchard.
We would be under many obligations
to the managers of the different cheese
factories in our county, if they would
prepare and forward to us statement of
their operations. We would like them
to embrace an account of the number of
cows whose milk is received at each, and
the quantity of cheese made, the proper
ton of cheese usually obtained as we'll
as prices realized, together with all other
information that may be of interest con-
nected with the operations. If we mis-
take not there are some five or six new
cheese factories that have commenced
operations this season, which with the
older ones make very respectable show.

Some of these new factories are making
. very superior article. Decidedly the
best cheese We have eaten this year was
made at the new factory at New Haven
depot. The managers of this factory have
determined to make an article second to
none. They have been very fortunate in
securing the services of very superior
maker, and so long as they continue to
make as superior an article as we have
received from them they will hardly be
excelled by other factories
We hope to receive from the managers
Of this as well as Of other factories in the
county, some account Of their operations.
