Country Gentleman.
The inquiry is often made by those occupy
ing new places, or such as are destitute of
fruit, How long will it be after planting
before we can have good, ripe fruit to eat?"
Answer-there are two conditions, and if
both are fulfilled you may have q good sup
ply next year from your planting this spring
The first condition is that you take good
care OF what you set out doing the work
well; and the second, that proper selection
is made. Strawberries will give the speediest
returns, 1ou may have a small crop this
year, but 1t will, perhaps, be better for the
plants to extend all their strength
in growth the first year. This is done
by shearing off the few blossoms which
come out; but if you prefer, let
them bear what they will, mulch with ma
nure for winter, keep the beds clean, with
cut runners. and you will have good crop
next year You may therefore put down
the fact that in just fourteen months from
setting out the plants they will, if well man.
aged, be loaded down with ripe crimson
berries, at the rate of from one to two hun
dred bushels an acre, whether the plantation
be large or small. Plant good hardy, prolific
sorts like Crescent, Charles Downing and
Cumberland. Raspberries, planted this
spring, Will begin to bear well next season,
and abundantly the third year. Currants
and gooseberries will require little more
time for the bushes to become large
enough 10 give copious returns,
Nearly the same may be said of
grapes, which may be allowed to bear
very sparingly when young, increasing the
crop as the vines grow larger; but caution is
always required not to let them overbear
even when they are old. Many vines are in
lured by overbearing. BY selection you may
begin to have apples, pears and peaches in
moderate supply, while the trees are yet
small. The Bartlett pear, for example, is
one OF the first to come into bearing; we have
mad peck from young tree the third year
after setting out, and other sorts, as Doyenne
d Etc Howell and dwarf Louise Bonnie of Jer-
sey give crops as soon.
Those who occupy rented places for few
years only, while they do not care to plant
trees for permanent bearing, should
not omit rich supply of Strawberries, and
50 far as may be convenient, of other small
fruits

The Record of the weather.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May pa careful rec
ord of the temperature is being kept at TWEEN
ty-four different points in as many different
quarters of this State, and the reports made
up to Saturday night show that the average
for April and May is lower than for the cor
responding months in any one of the last
seven years; also that the mean temperature
for the first five months of the year is lower
than for the corresponding months in any
year since 1877. The rainfall has not been
so great as in either the years
1880 or 1881, but other conditions have
conspired in an unusual degree to retard the
growth of vegetation so that while the sea-
son at the 1st of May was regarded as being
three weeks late, it will be more than that
on the LIST of June. The only Fedeeming fact
reported up to date is that the State holds
more Of its old crops in the hands of the pro-
ducers than ever before. OF wheat it is
reckoned that over 100000 bushels are SO
held; of corn, 43, 900, 600 bushels; OF oats, 20,
900, 900, The oats crop is the only one which
gives high promise the reckoning being per

No Official Information of Crook at the War
Departments

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-No information of
Crooks movements has been received by the
War Department to-day. General Drum is
disposed to credit the report that Crook en-
gagged the Apaches and defeated them. He
thinks the stories to the effect that his In
dian scouts turned upon and mastered
Crook and his command is wholly sensa-
tional and improbable. I'm the first place, ("
said General Drum, mo one understands che
Indian character better than Crook and he
would be the last man to put himself in a
position where such thing would be possible;
in the second place the Indian scouts left
their wives and children in the custody of
the United States authorities, and would not
dare to mutiny, even if inclined, knowing
their families were held as hostages; and
again, had such thing happened / should
certainly ere this have received reliable re-
ports in regard to it."

TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation OF
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
net blacken the teeth, cause head
