FRUIT CULTURE IN GERMANY.
Interesting Facts Concerning the Industry
in Early Times.

Ia ALaiiy AlhSSs d
An article Published not long ago in
tho Illustrirte Gartenzeitung of Vienna,
gave ON the authority of old state pa
pers, some interesting facts with regard
to the fruit culture of former times in
the kingdom of Wurtemburg. Itseems
that the earliest mention of this indus
try is found in accounts of the ,iestruc-
ton of vineyards and orchards during
the wars of the thirteenth and four
teenth centuries, while the first record
ed edict for their protection dates from
1915, and imposes fine on anyone who
shall cut down fruit trees, wild or cult
ivated, on open grounds. Another edict,
dated 1852, declares that children
caught stealing fruit shall be punished
by their fathers, or imprisoned, or put
IN baskets and dipped in the water
That wild fruits were still largely de-
pended upon is proved by an ordinance
of the year 1866, saying that cultivat-
or may pick up the fruit from wild
trees, but must not shake them, as
what remains on the branches must be
left for the animals, which at that
period the upper classes so greatly de-
sired to hunt. 1t appears that the
planting of fruit trees was not pre-
scAoed until 1900, when the setting out
of mulberry trees was ordered. Each
grown nan under the age of forty was
to plant one, and each stranger coming
to reside in the province was to plant
two on public land; and from later
edicts it appears that the fruit of such
trees could be gathered by the
planter during his life time, and
then by his widow, but that af-
ter hcs death they reverted to the
commune The edict of 1855, which
declared that fruit trees must not
be planted nearer than seven feet and
nut trees not nearer than ten feet to a
neighbor's boundary line still holds
good. The mulberry continued in high
honor through the eighteenth century,
for we read OF an order dated 1855 which
prescribes the planting Of all new roads

A Terrible Condition.

In our issue of April 4th we
sand: "April showers set in
promptly with the opening of the
month. So the showers did,
but the trouble is they almost i'm
mcdiately subsidized, and up to this
time, 67 days aftcrward, we have
had nothing that could honestly
and candidly be called ''rain.
In truth, the drouth in this i'm
mediate ncighborhood particular
~, and in the parish generally, has
become very serious matter.
Citizens of the towns arc forced
to look to the muddy Mississippi
or the adjacent springs, more or
less impregnated with impurities,
for their daily supply of water for
drinking. washing and culinary
purposes, and such supply is OBJ
tanned, often with irritating delay
and always ut an expense lily af-
fordcd by the financial abilities of
many of our people.
1t is not an ovcr-estimatc, we
feel safe IN saying, that ut least
one half the cotton crop of West
Fel,ciana is not yet out Of the
ground. The seed planted imme-
diately before or just after the
commencement of the drouth has
not, owing to the want of mois-
turc in the earth, appeared above
the surface, and we know of III
stances where from twenty five
acres, mp to as many as eighty or
IL hundred, on different planta-
tions, have not lis yet received
the seed, the planters having been
holding off. day by day, waiting
for the rain that, alas. is yet to
come.
1t would be Il difficult matter
indeed to formulate even an APP
proximatc estimate of the ultl-
mate effects upon our agricultural
interests that will be cntalled by
the prevailing dry weather and
phcnominally cold nights and ear
ly mornings.

planting in the highlands be
brought out Of the ground by

time, to raise cotton amid the Va

This Is written Thursday after
noon and there IS no evidence ut
this time of the approach of re-

That the relief may speedily

Deafness Cant be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf:
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets infamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars
fol any case OF Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that we cannot cure by TAX
ing Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
