Our endcayor is to give a better
edited and every way a superior pa
per-to what it has been, worthy of
all former patronage, and as much
more. Why is it to surrass ito
former self, you ask? Well, the
reasons are many, though you must
be content with but two:
1st It will BE better because
there will be more money put into
it than heretofore.
End. It will have more brain and
energy to keep it steady to its high
purpose.
The above is an extract from the
Rayne Sigma! under the new manage.
ment, and we must say that we we're
very greatly astonished at seeing it,
and besides many of our friends
have made it the occasion Of poking
no little fun at US. Truly, we are
glad that our worthy successor has
told US that he had a good supply Of
brain, and We only hope that he will
now show that such is the case by
making the promised superior paper.
But, between as and the gate'p post,
we think that would have been the
proper course at the outset. W.
never did think our brain power
was superintendent, but we have
never yet been reduced 10 the neces.
sity Of publishing to the world the
fact that We had a brain.

An Embryo Orchard.

portions oil our beautiful Itiie LOWE
a Few days ago we discovered an
embryo orchard, and after a short IN
with the proprietor, obtained
the following facts: The orchard
has over three hundred trees not yet
in bearing. The orchard contains
peacaes, apples, Leconte and Acifer
pears, 'p'ums, ounces and
rerslmmons. The leading
arc the Japan (not the Japan
commonly grown in Louisiana), the
Kelsey pIum, a late Importation, also
the new Mariana plum, originating
in Texas a few years ago, and cost
ing one dollar apiece, the wild goose
and several other varieties. In this
orchard can he seen six hundred
trees now in nursery for planting
this fall, and more will soon be ad'
ded thereto from J. P. B.rckman,
of Augusta, Ga, said to be one Of
the most reliable nurserymen Of the
South.
When commencing this orchard
the proprietor was told that he was
throwing away time and money; but
having some knowledge of the
chemical constituents Of the soil he
was Of different opinion. As he
illustrates, a tree can not grow and
thrive without, a free circulation OF
air and water. In preparing his
land he first breaks it thoroughly
and deep, then throws it up into
fifteen foot teds more or Less, &C
-cording to the distance he wishes to
plant his trees. There is ditch
between back row Of trees at leas:
twenty inches deep, with snfbcien'
fall to carry of the water as fast as
it falls, with thoroughly tillage and
the use Of phosphates, potash, and
plenty Of peasvines he expects to
raise plenty Of fruit.
The usual way of planting trees
in this country is to dig a hole'in
hard ground, insert the tree care
lessly, tramp the ground around it
then it must take care Of; itself OF
die. Well, it grows and bears fruit
a few years and dies. What man o.
sense would expect anything else
The only thing a fruit-grower would
expect that it would not live to bear
fruit at,all.
There is a large excess Of car
bonic acid in the soil, caused by
heavy growth and decay Of vegeta
ton. We can not do without car
'bonic acid, but the surplus must be
drained off. Carbonic acid to the
soil is what salt is to food-we nus1
have some; but o surplus spoils the
Every family should grow fruit
it is not only a luxury but good
food. 1t is equal to vegetables as
food, and is q promoter of health
and saves doctor bills. Adorn your
homes with fruit and flowers; make
home attractive, and your boys will
prefer home to the grogshops. Try
it and see if we are not correct.
There is not 80 much depending
upon climatic influence as people
generally expect. Climate has its
influence, but soil more. Give trees
the food they want, they will reward
your labor abundantly.
