Dwarf Pears.

A correspondent writes: | notice that the
wisdom of planting dwarf pears is still un-
der discussion in the horticultural pabers
My limited experience speaks most emphat
ically in favor Of such trees. The largest,
most productive trees in my garden are
dwarfs. Or perhaps, l ought rather to say
they were dwarfs when planted. They were
set so deeply (the point tofinocculaton oil about
four inches below the surface), that they
are now probably we'll rooted from the pear
stock, and so practically standards. Some of
them are six inches in diameter az the coll
lar, and yield me annually about a barrel
each of fine fruit They are now about tif
teen years old, and still as healthy and Wig
orous as any one could desire. | have Eever
had the least difficulty with dwarf pears
dying, and ] attribute my exemption from
such disappolntments to three things. In
the first place ] never buy such a tree un-
less it has been budded low down near the
root. Such trees can be planted so deeply
as to secure roots from the pear stock, with
out any danger of smothering the present
root and killing the tree by planting too
deeply In the second place always bury
the whole of the ounce and about fonr in
ches Of the pear stock in he soil. This dose
not q; all interfere with the early fruitful
ness of the tree which makes The dwarfs
esirable), and gives such4n opportunity for
the formation of pear roots as will secure
the permanency characteristic ofstandards.
In the third place, ! no more expect my
trees to live and work without food than to
do it myself. aim to keep them we'll sub
piled with plant food in the form of com
post, ashes, ground bone, etc. And they
express thir thanks in such health and vlg-
or. and such abundant and luscious fruit as
makes me more than satisfied" In relation
to profits P. T. Quinn gives the following:
ain pear growing for profit one will be woe
fully mistaken if he calculates TO make
fortune in few years. But where the orch
ard is under intelligent direction when the
trees come into bearing, taking one year
with another, it is within bounds to count
on thirty per cent, profit on the capital in
vested. or course, I could instance many
cases where the returns were very much
larger; but there are also many that fall
far below the figures named"

Stanley, the Explorer.

The indianapolis journal comments up
on Stanley, the explorer, in this wise: Ma
king all due allowance for the horid style
in which thu New York Herald dishes up
the latest news from Stanley, the African
explorer, it is evident that he has triumph
ed over almost superhuman obstacles and
accomplished u remarkable feat of travel
and discovery. To sum it up, he has cross
ed the continent of A frica from the eastern
to the western coast, along the line Of the
Congo River, in the face Of dangers and
difficulties which it wonld seem impossible
to exaggerate, and which, perhaps, no 9TH
er traveller ever before encountered and
survived. These included long marches
through trsckless forests, almost continuous
fights with hostile savages, suffering from
disease and hunger, descent Of dangerous
cataracts, and almost every imaginable
peril Of land or water. The explorsr lost a
large portion of the escort with which he
set out, and the onder is that any survived.
As for Stanley himself he has shown the
highest qualities of manhood, and may
with better claim than ever be ranked
among the greatest explorers of modern
times. AS a result of this perilous journey
he has obtained mass Of information
which will 60 far towards elucidation the
geography of which will bs awaited with
universal interest.

year, and no one case where it failed WAS re-
ported. Such a medicine IA the German
