BRATTLEBORo:
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL %, 1876.
Plan, an Apple Orchard Thl. Spying.

We want more apple orchards in all the
older States. The old trees, once so boun-
tiful, are bearing less and dying every
year. On many farms no successors are
provided for. We have occasionally sur
plus OF apples, as in 1874, when the orchard
does not pay much. But there is COM
pensation to the fruit grower, even in these
years of exceptional abundance. The
cheapness of apples introduces them into
many families where they are generally
used as a luxury. They arc so wholesome
and enjoyable that they become necessi-
~, and are more largely purchased in sub
sequent years, when they bring double
prices. In 1874 apples sold for $3.50 per
barrel. In 1875 they sold for 81 barrel.
We know of a case in which family laid
in, in 1874, sixteen barrels; in 1875, the
price being so much higher, the same sum
being allowed for apples, the supply was
but six barrels. If apples can be raised at
a dollar barrel and pay expenses, the far
MGR who furnished this family made IS in
his trade Of 1874, and SIS the past season.
Thrifty families soon become accustomed
to apples, and they take their place with
flour, meat and butter among the necessa-
ry family supplies, and the whole cropi
taken, even in abundant years, at prices
that pay something. This is what the fruit
grower wants, steady paying prices for all
that he can raise every year, rather than
extravagant profits, which will induce ev-
erybody 10 rush into his speciality. APP
Piles are, on the whole, as likely TO be prof
liable as any fruit farmer can invest in at
the present time, with the prospect of max
ing money out of them for the next thirty
years. They keep bette. than almost any
other fruit, and in all the northern half OF
tho country they can he had, in the fresh
state, with very little difficulty, every day
in the year. Our soil and climate are adj
mirably adapted to this fruit. 1t grows in
the greatest beauty and perfection, and
American apples command very high
prices in the English markets. They are
already profitable article of export, and
this business has as substantial basis for
increase as the export of American cheese
TO European markets. The idea that our
climate has changed, is fiction.

Those curious little lizards, the chame-
leans, abound in the outskirts Of New Or
Icons, and some other southern cities.
Their length, from the tip OF the nose to
the end of the tail, ranges from four TO six
inches. They lie around all day long lazi-
ly in the sun catching, with rarely a miss,
any insect that may come within range of
their very long tongue. Professor Baird,
OF the Smithsonian, remarks that it would
be well worth while for those who have
greenhouses in the North 10 import them
Tor insect catching purposes, as well as on
account of their remarkable changes of
color. AS we look at brown one ii catch
es our eye and instantly turns to bright
green, and while we are still look ing it
shades itself off TO a brownish while.

specialist, DIR. II. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n.

bic force and clearness his reasons for de-
voting his whole time and attention to

ment of lingering chronic diseases. The
same article also takes up the subjects of
diagnosis, methods of consultation and
treatment, ETC., and will be found TO contain
many valuable hints TO the invalid. DIR.
Pierce Is the author of work which has
already attained large circulation-"The

ously illustrated pages, and devoted to
medicine in all its branches, work well
calculated for the guidance and instruction

had for 81 so lpost-paid) by addressing the
author. DIR. Pierce has now been before
the general public long enough to enable
the formation of a careful estimate of tho
efficiency of his treatment and his medi-
cines, and the verdict, we are glad to know,
has been universally favorable 10 both.

BURNETT's FLAvoRINa EXTRACTS
The superiority Of these extracts consists in
their perfect purity and great strength.
They are warranted free from the poison
GUS oils and acids which enter into the
composition of many of the Fictitious fruit
flavors now in the market. They are not
only true TO their names, but are prepared
from fruit of tho best quality, and are so
highly concentrated that comparatively
small quantity only need be used.

a combination that would have the properties Of Cas-

His preparation was sent for, ncar and far, Till
finally he gave the name of Caatora, and put it up

larry with the disordered stomaohs and bowels Of
children. 1t assimilates the food. cures sour

As pleasant, effective and perfectly safe cath

what Made We Children. Mini..er.


Forty-four years ago l was keeping a
district school in back town. boarded
round. 1 went TO new place to board.
The woman had little boy who had just
come from school. His mother was get
ting supper. The boy was fidgety and
cross. The mother fretted, and grew
tired of the confusion, and said: "Little
boy, come here. will toll you a story"
The boy came. 1 put my arm around
him and said: "Once there was Ia little ba-
by in barn. His mother hadn't any era
die for her babe, SO she put him in the
manger." Thus went on, and the room
became as still as a graveyard. The boy
was still, and listened. After had finish
ed the story, he stood still looking me in
the face. The woman stood still in the
buttery and listened. Every day after-
ward, when I got home from school, that
little one would come and say to me:
"Won't you tell me that story again7" l
did 1t. left the district In the Spring and
have never heard from the family since.
Then 1 set TO thinking and thinking.
Can talk to children2 That shall be my
work. That shall be my life. And 1t has
been. In q State convention in Wood
stock, Vermont, was asked 10 speak, and,
noticing a pew full of CHILDREN, turned
10 them. All their fears fed. They an
swered me audibly, so that they were dis
tinclly heard through the great house.
Such thing had never been witnessed be-
fore in the State. One old minister called
mo "Children's Minister" accepted the
name, and for these forty years have called
myself so. 1 have lett word that If my
friends think enough Of me to put up
stone to my grave, they will put no other
mark or letter upon it but "Childrcn's
Minister" -Selectcd.
