Of humanity and the gospel The
trouble Of the preacher grows out of

would be we'll to investigate. Now,
his practitioners are not SO stiney
and cruel that they would willingly
see any man or beast suffer with hum
ger, much less refuse to subsidize
the servant and minister Of God; but
their condition Is such that perhaps
they are unable to give the desired
aud needed help Every dollar is al
ready invested, 10 their business, and
they have no surplus, Hence ii is,
not reasonable or inst to insist on the
money question lest there by unplea-

looked upon the waving, ripeniug

have seen the harvest garnered, and

THE FRUIT CROP.

Tothe Editor.
The crop OF fruits in this part Of Ohio
for 1883 will not be so good as was sup
posed some five or six weeks ago. The
late frosts injured all of them, especl-
ally cherries, Strawberries and grapes,
neither of which will produce more
than a fourth of the average crop. In
strawberry "patches" not injured by
the frosts, the berries are very large and
fine. | have never seen better; but
those affected by the frosts, what few
berries they produce, are generally
knotty and small. In many Localities
the young grape-shoots or sets were
killed entirely, in Others partially 80.
On vines that the sets were entirely
killed, new ones came out from the old
the old wood, and will produce half a
crop. On those that the shoots were
partially killed, little or no fruit will be
produced. Laterals, startina at each
Joint of the old set, and which do not
produce fruit, prevent new sets on the
old wood. In such instances there Is
an immense growth OF leaf and vine,
but not much fruit. Persons that re-
moved the first sets Immediately after
being frozen, will obtain a fair crop.
Though one of the easiest fruits cuiti-
waited, few persons know much about
the management of the vine. The
principal cauM of the failure Of the ap-
pie crop was the lack of stamens in the
blossom, hence there was not enough
pollen to properly fertilize the young
fruit. G. T.

SECOND THINNING OF FRUIT.

Those who have not already attended
to the second thinning.out Of their
pears should now attend to it without
much delay. Even when the pear crop
is very slim there are always some va.
rieties that almost uniformly overbear,
and whenever this happens to be the
case they should be carefully thinned
out, if the trees are not too large to do
so. Pears in punches seldom mature
PERFECTLY. One or two of them are
either stunted or attacked by the worm,
which will attack the others probably,
too, il not removed. All Imperfect
misshapen specimens should be re-
moved. Specimens smaller than the
average, though they nayiook healthy,
will seldom ripen well or retain the fla
yor of the variety. The truth is, grow
ers should not be afraid to thin-out res
olutely. Two full.sized, perfect speci-
mems are surely better than three or
four small ones. OF course this opera
ton refers to trees that are OF size that
can be managed AS to grapes, we all
know what over. bearing results in.
Don't be afraid to cut away from
heavily bearing vines one.third 10 one
half of the punches. We refer to out
door grapes. With indoor grapes even
the berries have to be thinned out to
give large, perfect, delicious fruit. This
pains cannot be expected to be given to
the outdoor vines except when there
IS only limited number.

THE WEED NUISANCE.

Weeds will assert their rights when
ever there is chance, and if not cheek
ed will monopolize the entire farm,
Cultivation, IN general sense, Is the
best eXterminator. But weeds should
not be removed and thrown away, or
burnt in piles as farmers do; they should
be made u source of profit, or at least to
pay for their grub" by adding them to
the manure heap. Som % may say that
the seed of the weeds retain their vital
ity in the manure, and when the man
ure Is spread on the earth these weeds
grow and give us q WORM of trouble.
We have heard this objection over and
over again; and many either burn their
weeds or cart them to some waste hole
for fear of this. On the other hand, we
like TO see the manure heap cared for.
1t is a sign of strong arm and a Wig
Orous intellect at the head OF affairs.
And even at the risk of encouraging
weed seed once in while, we would
rather preach the doctrine of throwing
everything into this one common re-
c,ptacle for all vegetable and animal
refuse, than to aid in the waste Of good
material which We SO often see.
Even when there Is likely to be much
objection from weed seeds in q manure
heap, provided the vegetable refuse is
likely to be valuable, the seeds may be
des' royed by composing. The warmth
Of the decaying mass causes the seeds
To sprOut; and if the whole mass is
turned over once or twice, so as to give
air enough to all the seeds in time to
terminate, all the Objectionable matter
may be destroyed. We fear far more
from ugly roots of vile creeping weeds
in the manure heap than we do from
bad seeds; bat even these may be pref
ty badly worried by stirring over of
the mass q time or two before using
But this requires labor; and how niue h
labor can he made profitable will always
be question before the saving OF waste
material, however valuable in the ab.
stract ii may be.
