Hoe to Hare 1ppIes Every Year.

In answer to this question the Rural
New Yorker replies, giving the practice
Of Mr.. Pell, large Orchardist of New
York, which vas to keep his ground in
high condition and to so reduce the crop,
by thinning out the fruit, as to enable the
tree TO mature the balance and still form
fruit buds for the next year. Mr.. Pelrs
theory i, aud we have little doubt of Its
correctness, that the overbearing of trees
causes the failure the following year and
that by simply reducing the quantity Of
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1875-03-30

fruit to the capacity of the tree, il viii
bear about equally every year. The
Rural then gives other methods IS fol-
lows -
Another mode recommended (whi n we
have not tried, but which is said to work
effectively is to take the scions fr)m a
tree in 1873 and graft of good thrifty
tree and do the same in 1876; thus fruit
will be got on each in alternate years. 1t
is also asserted that if you cut If the
thrifty trees, the growth of 1874 in the
last of June leaving three or four buds
that would come out in 1875 you will force
cut the next years buds and gail one
year Again, if all the blossoms are re-
moved from one-half of the orchard in
the bearing year, the next year tn, half
of the orchard from which the bic ssoms
have been removed will bear. THIS Is
true. We have experience in this after.
But it Is better, We think, to thin OFT the
fruit from trees, after it sets, every year
and thus get an income from eact tree
annually. This matter of thinning fruit
is not sufficiently attended to. Wit pres
ent devices for pruning and clipping, it
will require comparatively little tilne to
thin out the blossoms or young frui thus
preventing the trees from overheard * one
year, and from resting the next BESIDES
the superior quality and size Of tn fruit
thus obtained will pay for the labor by
increasing the market value.

INFLUENCE OF NEwsPAPERs-S Small Is
the sum that isirequired to patrOnize a
newspaper, and amply rewarded is its
patron, care not how humble ard nnpre-
tending the gazette which he ia kes. 1t
is next TO impossible to fill 4 sheet with
printed matter without putting into it
something that is worth the subscription
price. Every parent, whose sol is away
from home or at school, should supply
him with a newspaper. l well remember
what a marked difference there was be-
tween those of my schoolmates Who had.
and those who had not, access to news
papers. Other things being eC .ual, the
first were always decidedly superior to
the last in debate, composition, and gen.
eral intelligence.-DaHieI H'ebe 'er.
