SURPLUS FRUIT.
A serious question to solve and too extern
sive to discuss in this paper, is the utilization
of our surplus fruits, domestic and wild. The
appearance now is that the process of evapo-
rating fruit by patented evaporators as prac-
ticed extensively and successfully in New
Jersey and Delaware, will prove most econom.
ical and remunerative. The great enemies to
fruit trees are cows, sheep and goats; keep
them ont of the orchard at all times and sea.

the same time in your heart some fondness
for its beauty and growth, and hope for it's
success. As no one can manage children
without first loving them, so no one is apt to
succeed in horticulture or Horticulture with.
out fondness for it, "Even heart full of
love sometimes has to make room for great
deal of sorrow over blunders and failures"

a9% The faith of Christians being in general
so weak, no wonder their love is so weak also.
1t is the natural consequence of faith that it
works by love and the greater also is love.
When we believe that God really has loved
US. and is "just and faithful to forgive our
sins :" when we see that he hath already par
doned them, Christ having borne the punish
ment due unto them, then our hearts are stri-
wing to obey the law, as covenant Of works,
and find perpetually that we fall short, no
wonder we have hard thoughts of God. We
should ever, then, remember that Christ
"hath redeemed US from the curse of the law" "
that we are justified by faith, without the
works of the law"

pillar in the church, raised pair of steers
and finally sold them to Mr.. Jake, who was
terribly deaf and not church goer. Some
time after the sale, the deacon was agreeably
surprised to see the buyers of the steers at
church, and as services were over, shook his
hand heartily and asked for the health of bis
family. The deaf buyer, having the sale
chiefly in mind, and thinking the deacon
would be chiefly interested in the steers he
had raised, answered in very bluff and loud
voice, heard all over the church, LOUSY !!

grape and the plum grow to great perfection /;
in the Piedmont region the apple and the
grape doubtless do far better than in the mid
die and lower country. The pear is 80 subject
to blight, and the intelligence and resources
ofhorticulturalists and scientists having failed
to find preventive or remedy for it, it is
with fear and trembling that we plant pear
orchard anywhere. The Duchess grows best
on dwarf stock and is least liable to blight,
and it is one of our largest and best pears. |
would say that the great staple fruit crops for
the lower country would be figs, grapes, peach
es and pears; for the middle country grapes,
peaches, figs, pears, apples for the Piedmont
country apples, grapes, pears, peaches. Of
small fruits, the strawberry will grow we'll in
each section the raspberry we'll in the mid
die and upper sections. As to varieties, we
have an intelligent guide in the recommends
tions of the American Pathological Society,
and better still in the recommendations Of
the Georgia Horticultural Society. But to
make fruit growing easy, successful and per-
manent, We SHOULD have horticultural society
in the State, with subordinate ones in the
counties. 1t is only by the means Of meeting
together and exhibiting fruit ana dlsoussng
its merits in the different sections of the State,
that we can be able to adopt proper nomen'
clature and proper list of fruit for each Sec
ton. This is essential, and it involves a
knowledge of the adapta bility of the various
fruits that grow in our State, not only to the
different soils and climates Of the different
sections strictly, but also to locations and to
particular local influences of each. There is
no better guide to the beginner in selecting
varieties than the published lists carefully
prepared by the American Pathological so'
ciety and the Georgia Horticultural Society.
The Georgia Horticultural Society recon-
mend the following fruits for the mountain re-
gion of Georgia, corresponding very nearly in
latitude, soil and climate to the mountain re-
gion of South Carolina:

PRUNING.
Prune whenever your trees need it, and you

trim them so as to assume a well.balanced
head and pyramidal form, and they will not
grow one-sided, bend over or require stake
Make the branches shade the body Of the
tree so as not to allow the stem to be exposed
to the sun, nor allow any one limb to outgrow
the others. Avoid having double leader
and distinct fork or crotch in the tree.
GATHERING AND SHIPPING.
