Is the South a Good Fruit
CountryP

If the question is intended to
gnean a country sbounding in good
fruits, we must sadly answer, no.
Nothing astonishes the stranger
more when travelling in the South,
OF on settling here, than the
scarcity Of good fruits; and the inn
preston produced by the circum-
stance, that the South is not a
good country for fruit, is confirmed
by our people themselves, and es-
pecially by the farmers, who,
with few exceptions, of course,
will tell him beyond seeding
peaches, Chickasaw plums, and
Scuppernong grapes, fruits don't
do well here. The few who nave
understandingly tried TIE expert
ment of raising other and superb
or fruits, however, know better
We have shown again and gain
in these pages and elsewhere, and
demonstrated in the field, that the
South is one of the best of all fruit
countries, and others have done
the same. Will not our readers
all make up their minds to plant,
at least, few fruit trees and
grape vines this fall-and to take
care of them after they shall have
been planted. DoyOu..who are Pat
rons bear in mind, as you should,
the injunctions of the ritual Of
your Order, in reference to plant.

Adjusting the Harness to
Fit the Horse.

Every part of harness should
be buckIed up shorter or lie: out
until the harness fits the horse as
neatly as pair of boots that are
of the proper size for ones feet.
The collar should fit closely, with
space enough at the bottom to adj
nit a mans hand. If too large,
it has the bad effect of drawing
the shoulders together On no
consideration should a team or
any work horse be compelled to
wear a martingale, as it draws the
head down and prevents him from
getting into any easy and natural
position. The check.rein may he
used, but only tight enough to
keep the head in a natural po-
sition, and should never be wound
around the names. See that the
names are buckled tight enough
at the top to bring the draft irons
at the proper point on the side of
the collar. If 100 low, it not on
ly interferes with The tion of
the shoulders, but gives the collar
an uneven bearing. Caution
should be taken that the girth is
not buckled too tight, particular
" on strong teams, for when the
traces are Strengthened it has the
t ndency to draw the'girtb against
he belly and distress the horse.
A teamster should be educated toi
harness horse correctly, as this
s something that cannot bel
:anght by writing.

TRANSMITTING TREES AT NIGHT.

EDITOR HERALD: In a number of
the Dental Cosmos I find an extract
from the Boston Journal of Chemistry,
which may be beneficial to the citi-
zens of this county, if placed before
them in your valuable paper:
"a gentleman anxious to ascertain
the effect of planting trees at night in
stead of in daytime, made an expert
ment with the following result: He
transplanted ten cherry trees while in
bloom, commencing at four O'Clock in
the afternoon and transplanting one
each hour until one in the morning.
Those transplanted during the day
light shed their blossoms, producing
little or no fruit, while those trans
planted during the night maintained
their condition fully. he did the same
with ten dwarf-pear trees after the
fruit was one-third grown. Those
transplanted during the day shed their
fruit; those transplanted during the
night perfected their crop and showed
no injury from being removed. With
each of these trees he moved some
earth with tie roots. The incidents
are fully vouched for, and if few
more experiments produce the same
result, it will be a strong argument for
horticulturalists, gardeners and fruit
growers, to do such work entirely at
night"
Would it not be a good plan for
some of our Los Angeles fruit-growers
to try tue experiment
