A SAVING RAIN.

The rain of SATURDAY. afternoon, though
not heavy or protracted, was very timely
and proved Of great value to the farmers.
The parched earth was given a fair soak
ing and the vegetation was enlivened
and refreshed. The fall seemed to be
general and extended, and among It's
many good effects, 1t Is supposed, will
be the preservation Of a large part Of the
strawberry crop Of Sussex county, which
was fast yielding To the destructive ef-
fects Of the draught.

Thinning Fruit.

All well.informed fruit growers
agree in asserting that ever tree,
however hardy, will be hurt by
heavy bearing. 1t is q strain upon
the powers of the tree, lessening
its vitality, requiring q year or
more to recruit, and shortening the
period OF its life. The fruit fails,
and largely, to come up to its usual
standard, to say nothing Of it's
highest condition under the best
management. All this results from
neglect OF thinning out, an opera.
ton much less difficult than is sup.
posed. Remove down to q moder-
ate amount of fruit, which in .
heavily.laden tree is fully half the
crop; often more should be taken.
This relieves the tree, aud enables
II to concentrate on the rest OF the
fruit, greatly increasing the size
and the quality, which in market
tells most. By lessening the mum.
Der OF specimens, the number OF
seeds is reduced and 1t is this par
ticularly that fayors the tree, as
the seeds draw sharply upon the
trees vitality. 1t also has the ef-
feet of fayoriBg bearing the next
year. We thus see how much call
be done by THE Que olpIasion, II
