ErMI. and its I'rOMts.

SUBJECT for DiscussioH-TH Culture OI
Fruit, amt its f'rOfits.
7. Il. Harrison is novice in the
fruit business as yet, but has set a good
many trees, and expects to set some ev.
cry year. The cultivation of fruit does
not receive the attention it deserves.
We are not out Of the fruit belt, per.
sons on the lake shore are too exclusive
in their ideas.
Notwithstanding blight and worms,
and other enemies, fruit Of excellent
quality is grown in certain localities
here every year. When you get out of
the Paw Paw valley, peaches are quite
certain. In the heavy clay soils of Wa.
verify and Bloomingdale, peaches have
been grown and brought to Paw Paw
every year. If every farmer would set
more peach trees they would pay better
than wheat.
Whenever he has been over the coun.
try, he has noticed pear trees, and he
invariably finds them healthy. lie
would rather have one apple or pear
tree planted in the fall, than two in the
spring. He thinks they DO better the
next year, and are more likely to live.
He has seen pear trees in Connecticut,
that were three feet in diameter, and
he infers that they live to a great age
He finds that pears that DO well east,
do not do well here, and eice cerSa. The
Bartlett, is the popular pear of the day,
and is known the world over, but he
thinks the Flemish Beauty is a better
pear here. 1t costs more to start pear
orchard, but there is more money in it.
Pears need the same culture that corn
does. Dwarf pears have not been popu
lar, the root of the ounce on which it
is grated, is short and fbrous, and
reaches but little way, and the tree
needs heavy feeding. You can grow as
many pears to the acre as you can of
apples, for the trees will bear setting
nearer together, and they are surer.
The borers has not troubled his pear
trees as they do his apple trees. If he
could be sure of ten cents per bushel for
apples on the tree, he would set his en-.
tire farm to trees.
Mr. Jacobs thinks every farmer in the
county should grow berries enough for
his own consumption. How much bet.
ter for the farmer to have his table sup.
piled with berries, than simply pork and
potatoes. The trouble is, they are set
out and let alone; they soon cover the
ground, and grass grows with them, and
they are pronounced unprofitable, but
they can be grown as well as potatoes,
and with as little care.
Raspberries should be set in rows,
two feet apart, and three feet in the
the row. Keep the ground claan as you
would for corn. Set in the spring and
in the spring following cut them back to
within eighteen inches of the ground.
The next spring, when the canes get
two feet high, nip them off. They then
branch out, and need no stalking. AS
soon as the fruit is gathered, cut out the I
Did canes, leaving three to four new
canes to the hill. Serve blackberries
the same way, but the rows should be
eight feet apart.

time. Last year, he marketed at Paw
Paw, Decatur and at Lawrence 1OO
bushels of berries, at an average Of ten
cents per quart. lie computes MS crop
this year at 1000 quarts.
1t is best for the fruit grower 70 grow
the best kinds of fruit, and give them
the best of care. Poor fruit is what
keeps the market down From J acre
Of strawberries he has picked 2Sl BUSH
els, an average of ll2 bushels per acre.
He is cultivating Denver's Prolific, and
the French for early berry. He is fully
satisfied that mulch:ng with straw in
the spring, is the way to grow fine shin.
ing berries. The reflection of the heat
from the ground affects the color Of
strawberries. Raspberries will stand
ten years, and perhaps more. You can
get the ground too rich for them, so
that they will grow more canes than
fruit.
Many farmers who grow grain say
they cannot spend time 30 cultivate
small fruit, bat if they would keep the
ground covered with straw, they would
have no trouble.
Mr.. Tuttle puts his strawberries in
three beds, and plows up one eacn year.
and renews. Sets in the fall, and cult.
Yates spring and fall. His variety is
the Wilson. Every farmer can raise
bed of Strawberries as easy as any other
crop. He cuts of the runners with q
hoe, while hoeing The ground.
Allen Rice has tried mulching with
saw dust, and had three times the Der.
ries he had on that not mulched.
lie set out an orchard - years ago,
and part Of the time i has not been
cultivated, but when cultivated he got
more profit from his two acres Of sour
apples than from sixty acres in other
crops. He got into debt s400, and tried
four or five years to pay it. Finally he
went to cultivating his orchard, and
raised good crop Of nice fruit every
year. In four years he paid bis DEBT,
and laid up SiOO, beside supporting his
family He manures his ground but
does not crop it. It is necessary to
keep the top well pruned to let in the
sun. While building he neglected cul.
tivating his orchard, and his fruit was
small and Of poor quality. His vairie.
ties are Baldwins, Greetings, Swaar,
Northern Spy, Rambo, Golden and
Roxbury Russell, and King Of Thomp-
kins County.
Mr. Jacobs recommends the Baldwin
Northern Spy, and Greetings as three
good varieties to grow. Mr.. Glidden
thought the subject of more Importance
than farmers usually ascribed to it. We
see around the country orchards in bad
conditions-the trees growing more
wood than fruit, from a lack Of pruning.
We notice this lack of interest TO day.
When we have a discussion on the sub.
ject of wheat raising, or wool growing.
the room will be filed with interested
men, but when we talk about fruit cul-
ture, but few are present. 1t is all ow.
ing 10 lack of knowledge, but no bet
ter place can be found TO get the neces.
;ary information than among fruit men,
IN discussion like this.

A NEW SWINDLE.

A new swindle has been unearthed at
Meadyille, Pa. the details of which are
given by the Republican. A few weeks
ago a man rented box in the Post Office
there, giving his name as {. Il. Lord.
He soon after mailed several thousand
letters to parties in different parts of the
States and Canada. About the same time
Postmaster Derrickson received letter
fr.ar another party, in which were inclos-
ed two printed cards, one Of which gave
the name and address of the swindler, and
the other, which is red card, purports to
make the holder a member of the Secret
Order of Money Finders" and tells the
Mr.. Lord or one Of his agents will meet
the new party, time to be named the swim
dler himself.
The card also tells the bearer to fix the
place near some railroad station, and adds
the precaution that the less correspon-
dence on the subject the better, When
some fifty letters had accumulated, Lord
called for his mail, but, in the Postmas-
ter's absence, the clerks refused to de-
liver the letters until he was identified
He said that was easily enough done, and
left the Office, but did not return. When
Mr.. Derrickson was informed of the mat
ter, he secured the services of police
officer and caused the arrest of Lord, who
was held in 5000 bail for trial, giving his
bondsmen sufficient money to cover his
bond in case he Lord) should fail to APP
pear at the time fixed. Lord then disap.
peared, and will probably never be seen
there again, as his bail will be forfeited.
The letters addressed to him, all Of which,
no doubt, contain money, will be sent to
the dead-letter Office, to be thence return,
ed to the poor fools who wrote them. 1t is
thought Lord is operating in other cities
and towns through Western Pennsylvania
and Ohio, and should be watched for by
postmasters and police.

ENGLAND.

LONDON, MAY 2S.-The debate in the
House Of Commons last night on the
supplemental act to the treaty forms the
subject Of the leading editorial articles in
the morning journals. The answer OF
Gladstone is regarded as unsatisfactory,
as it adds nothing to the information al
ready obtained.
In the House of Commons this even
ing Gladstone replied very briefly to the
questions put last night by ID Israeli and
Horsman concerning the supplemental
articles. He made no statement Of i'm
portance, and added nothing TO the in
formation already possessed by the pub
lie on the subject.
A lively sensation was created in the
House this evening by a bold protest
by Tom Hughes against hOrse-racing
and the usual adjournment for Derby
day, which occurs tomorrow. Mr..
Gladstone moved that the House ad-
jUuTu until Thursday. Mr.. Hughes, on
rising to oppose the motion, was received
with ironical cheers and laughter. He
pointed 20 the fact that the House ad-
iourned only two hours on Ascension
day for divine worship, and now pro-
posed 10 adjourn twenty-four hours for
the Derby. Ii was incompatible with
the dignity Of the Commons to recog-
ni1e hOrse-racing. The English race
courses had introduced the most corrupt
and insidious system of gambling which
had ever disgraced any country. While
he was opposed 10 this species of amuse-
ment, he believed in many sports, like
International bOat-races, cricket and
other salutary competitions Of human
strength and pltgck and fhouUhf thew
should be encouraged.
The motion for adjournment carried

Insurgents Again on the War Path-A
spanish GunbOat Fired into and
Several Of her Crew
Wounded.

HAVANA, May 2S.-The insurgents
have again made their appearance in
the eastern department.
While the gunbOat CantO was enter
ing the bay of Banes she was fired on
by band Of rebels who had taken up
their position On the cliffs which over
hang the channel The channel is very
narrow and crooked, aud the rebels had
every chance 10 pour on the gunbOat a
deadly fire. The boat was kept on her
way until an opportunity was afforded
for her TO use her guns, when she OPEN
ed fire on the rebels, and the cliff was
soon evacuated. The commander, pilot
and two sailors Of the CantO We're
wounded.
A company belonging to the regiment
Fspana, commanded by the ex-insur-
gent UnquiZas, captured aud executed
the insurgent colonel, Jaime MeTenO
and his two sons, and four others, and
killed ten of the rebels under NincentO
Garcia during different engagements.
The Spanish captain, LazOrO, was killed.
Colonel Gonzales Bael lately discoV-
cred a conspiracy against the Spaniards
among the prisoners confined at CascO-
ras and GuimarOX. 1t is reported that
this conspiracy had extended to Saban-
lea, Las Tunas, Manzanillo, and other
places.
A report is current at Puerto Principe
that the Spanish troops, during an en-
ragement with Agreements band, killed
TWENTY-FIVE men and captured two Off
GERS. The same Spanish force also de-
feated a body of insurgents who were on
their way to join the insurgent Presi-
dent by way of the southern coast.
