Fruit Cor the Family.

Every man who has o plot or fe@
acres of ground sholid labor 20 secure
a supply of good fruit for family use
especially, and if there ia city OF vii
,sge market near let there be an sddi
tionsl supply; the refuse may be used
to good advantage in feeding the hogs.
Two main points to be considered ia
accomplishing this object. the frst Ia 10
be careful to secure varieties adapted to
the latitude in which you reside, and
secondly let the selection be so made
that there nay be supply Of fruit all
the season from the earliest 10 the nal
est, that there shall not be q day daring
the year that there be not q supply of
some kind, both for family use and tos
the market; this is possible unless there
be failure of the apple crop. In Or
der to reach this end, if you have not
the experience to made selection, then
you will have to call to your aid an ex-
perienced horticulturist; in this be sure
that you trust noEe but such as are
known and tried men, as mistake
would deter the whole object Now
is n good time TO plant out trees. Let
each one make a beginning, and as lie
has means and opportunity continue
it from time to time, until the object ia
accomplished. remembering that.that
effort in the end, if properly made, vii!
result handsomely in pecuniary point
OF view, and in the meantime give him
q worla of pleasure to see the lucious
fruit growing and enjoying the luxury
at tho table and otherwise.

To Obtain Fruit from Barren Eroes.

4 correspondent OF the AmeffcaS
4 qricuiturist says: II wish TO describe
to you method of making fruit trees
besr that l blaudered on. Some fifteen
years ago 1 had an apple tree that leaned
considerably. drove stake beside it.
tied string to limb and fastened it
to the stake. The next yenr the limb
blossomed full and not another blossom
appeared on the tree, and, as Tom
Bunker said, 1t set me thinking, and
1 came to the conclusion that the string
vas so tight that it prevented the
sap from returning to the roots; conse-
.uuently it formed buds. Having q
couple of pear trees large enough TO
bear but had never blossomed, / took
coarse twine and wrapped it
several times around the tree above the
lower limbs and tied as tight as could.
The next spring all the top above the
cord blossomed as white as sheet, and
there was not blossom below where the
cord was tied. have since tried the
experiment on several trees almost with
the same result. / think it is a much
better way than cutting of the roofs.
In early summer, say in June or July.
wind o strong cord around tree, or
single limb, and tie, the tighter the
better; and you will be pleased with the
result: the next winter or spring ths
cord may be taken of.

an attack of day.maie. Immediately

motion or speech. could neither move
nor cry, while the breath came from my

immigration Southwark.

The great subject of immigration
which is now attracting the attention OF
the people, is one vi absorbing interest,
especially TO the people of the Soath.
1T needs recuperat,on. and to reeGper
ate successfully the population must be
increased by immigration, idle lands
must bo made fruitful, railroads aud
manufacturers must be bmlt, new meth
o,ts and improvements IN agriculture
are required; on the whole complete
revelation in the labor system, agrlcul :
ture and manufactures, needed to keep
up with the progression Of this ad-
vanclug age. We hold that a liberal
and systematic policy of Immigration Is
the only sure method or retrieving .s.e
fortunes of the South. We fear that.
heretofore, the line of policy in relation
to immigration has been faulty, we fear
that the subject has not received justice,
and to hear us out, we contrast the i'm
mense flow OF immigrants to the West.
while the South contains superior ad
vantages.
Men have been appointed immigra-
tion commissioners or agents who are
perfectly ignorant of the science--for
1t IS a science, too often in mere COM
p'emcnt. Again little or no money has
been appropriated, and IA word Of such
gigantic proportions needs money.
la nearly every case the agents of I'M
migration for the South have offered i'm
migrants work, when they shoaid hays
offered them homes.
We will illustrate this: For instance,
Two immigration agents are sentt to New
York, one from Minnesota, the other
from Alabama. An emigraut vessel ar
rives, and both ply their vocstions with
the newly arrived The agent from
Minnesota secures large number. the
Alabama agent is unsuccessful. Why?
Minnesota says. go West we will pay
your way there, we will sell you land
low aud give yon ten years to pay for it.
and if you can build house wo will
do it for vou on the same terms. Ala
bama says, go South, we will give you
employment, and after q while You can
get home. OF course they go Vest.
In leaving their native land, they seek
a home, not employment only, aud they
will 80 where they can iind a home at
once. We must make immigration a
success. We must appoint Commis-
slouers who know their duty and busi-
ness, and will pefform it. Money must
be appropriated. and homes offered;
then Will our now barren fields bloom
with their golden h,rvests; then will
the vast mineral resources of the South
be developed. capital and labor will to-
gether como South, and prosperity will
reign.
But to be successful VIC must sacri-
fee, We must work; but such bread
thrown upon the waters will return in
after days, largely multiplied.
