can do only certain amount of work. If
that work is diffused over large quantity
of fruit, of course the product will not be so
excellent in quality as though the quaint
ty were smaller. Hence, when trees are
very full of young fruit true economy tells
US to thin out.
When thinning out care must be taken to
leave the fruit scatter ed as uniformly on the
tree as possible. Do not leave one branch
quite heavily ltden and pick off nearly all
from another, but calcula tie about the amount
Of fruit you will leave then let it be scattered
over the whole tree. OF course all will be
careful to remove the inferior misshapen
fruit.
By pursuing this method the producer may
not get 50 many bushels, but his crops
will be worth more in the market, and 1t
will not cost him much to gather and send
to market. Moreover, his trees will be
stronger. They will not be weakened by
overLearing, and hence will be more likely
to give him crop every year Vneland

PLAIN LANGUAGE.

The remarks of Speaker Blaine to the
multitude at Saratoga on Wednesday eve
ming, contained very plain and wholesome
but unpalatable truths for the New York
) democracy, many of the nabobs of whom
must have listened to it, The comparison
Of the economy prevailing at Washington
with the robbery and corruption existing
in the New York city government was
well stated. But not content with
holding up this picture before his audience,
Mr., Blaine made, bold to declare the
startling fact that this corrupt body in
o New Y ork Is the very centre and soul of
democracy in the country, responsible for
Ku-Klux outrages and the disturbed con-
diiion of the South. They furnish funds
ii and brains TO carry on the campaigns of
the democracy, not only in New York
but in Maine and other states. They
b nominate the candidates, make the plat
forms, furnish the engineers and Intricate
the machinery, using the stealings in New
York for that purpose. Last winter an
earnest attempt was made in Congress to
settle the Ku-Klux business and the dis
turbed affairs Of the South on non-par-
tizan basis, but the democrats would not
consent TO it, though the opportunity was
them by the republicans. And it
is with perfect propriety that they are now
held responsible for the condition of the
81 South. They might have made peace Their
but they did not desire it. They desired
disorder, violence and fraudulent elections
to subserve their ends. From such ;
/. source as Tammany what but corruption
can follow /? Speaker Blaine S plain word
will raise an outcry, but they are too true
to be stormed down.
