Cotton is opening well; picking still
limited to south portion. Most CORE
spondents report tobacco cures better
tnan usual. Many farmers will finish
curing next week. Some winter oats
nave been sown. Very little fall plow-
ing was done this week on account of
drynesg.
Western District A very hot, dry
week; days very warm, but nights not
SO oppressive. Light local showers oc-
Cured on the 9th, 10th and 18Th, but
insufficient. More rain is needed for
all crops and to enable fall plowing to
progress. Fodder-pulling is nearly
over, except in extreme west. All corn
Is now safe. Cotton is opening rapidly
under the inf lence of warmth and
abundant sunshine, and is being picked
also. Tobacco still being cut and cured.
Field peas are setting pods freely and
have luXuriant growth Of vine Some
late potatoes are being harvested.
Land is becoming too dry in most
places, and rain is required to put it in
condition for fall plowing. Fruit sea-
son about over.

SOWING TURNIPS.

Tdere are few crops grown that re
quire as little work as turnips and in a
favorable season there are few crops
that yield as we'll. While in what
may be termed fair season they re-
quire but comparatively short season
for growth, yet taking one year with
another the better plan is to SOW
reasonably early. From the middle to
the latter part Of July is good time
to SOW, the exact time being largely
determined by the season and the con-
dition Of the soil.
One item is essential and that is to
have the soil prepared in a fine tilth in
order to first cure good germina
tion of the seed and then a good start
of the plants to grow.
The soil should be reasonably rich :;
new ground is best when it can be
secured readily, but old ground can be
used if it has been manured with rot
ted manure thoroughly incorporated
with the soil. Too coarse fresh manure
is always Objectionable with this crop
PIow we'll and harrow until the soil
is in a fine tilth. The seeds are so small
that to SOW on rough, cloddy or i'll
prepared land is to lose a considerable
portion of them. Generally rather
low moist ground will give better re-
suits in every way than high drier land.
At this time, when it can be done, it
will be best to SOW just after rain in
order to secure a quick and good ger
mination of the seed. Use plenty of
seed and SOW as evenly as possible. A
very good plan is to mix the seed with
clean wood ashes and then SOW, as by
this plan there is less danger of getting
them too thick.
One Of the best varieties is the old
standard purple top, strap leaved. The
white egg, also the yellow globe, are
good varieties. They make a good
feed for sheep or cattle SO that all that
cannot be marketed to good advantage
can always be fed to the stock with
benefit, and there is very little danger
or growing too many.

THE FRUIT TRADE IN NEW YORK

Recent statistics, carefully gathered,
show that 1000 men are engaged in
the fruit business in New York. This
immense army is of quite recent
growth. Not so many years ago most
of the fruit was of the nearby brand,
augmented by occasional importations
from Italy and Spain. Now two new
fruit markets, the western and eastern,
flourish, the latter controlling the
foreign, West Indian and southern
products Last = ears imports of fruits
are c,mputed at $12,OOO,OOO The
growth of the California fruit trade has
been rapid. GRd ,lss extent proves that

tan palate. The retail market has
broadened greatly and the increase in
the number of push carts and corner
stands this season is noticeable, in spite
of Efforts on the part of ordinance en-
fOrcers to che3k the growth by keep
ing thessreet merchant within the legal
limits. How many depend solely upon
fruit for livelihood would be hard to
ascertain, but there are thousands.

PEAR BLIGHT.

The Secretary Of Agriculture gives
the following suggestions relative to
pear blight: Pear blight is caused by
a very minute micrObe which enters
the tree at the blossom cluster, or at
the tip of the tender growing shoot. It
may destroy only the blossom cluster,
or few inches Cf the twig, or it may
run downward several feet, killing
large limbs or even whole trees. The
same microbe causes apple twig blight
and ounce blight. Most Of the damage
from this blight is done during the
first month of growth, beginning at
blossom time. After running down
ward for few inches or foot or more,
the disease usually comes to stand
still. When it has stopped, a definite
crack forms in the bark, separating
the 1--we and dead portions. When the
diseased portion blends eff into the live
part, it shows that the disease is still
progressing. B3loW the blighted portion
the tree may be perfectly healthy, as
the blight kills only as far as it reaches.
Healthy, thrifty, rapidly growing trees
suffer more when attacked than those
not so vigorous. In certain cases the
blight does not s'7p, but keeps on
slowly growly in the bark till the close
Of the season. After this such cases
continue progressing slowly, the new
blight for each year coming from germs
which lived over from the preceding
seasons cases. The remedy for the
pear blight is to exterminate the mi
crobes which cause the disease. This
can be done by pruning out the old
blight in the fall or winter, thus pre-
venting the microbes from living over.
In mild attacks, where there is but lit
tie blight, and wherever practicable, it
is best to cut out the blight as soon as
discovered Complete destruction of
the blight should be carried out In the
falL. as soon az all late growth has
ceased. In cutting out the blight, care
sborld be taken to cut on the sound
wood below the disease.

CENTRAL OFFICE, Raleigh, N. @.
The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
by the North Carolina State Weather
Service, for the week ending Saturday,
Sept. IA, 1895, indicate a favorable
week in most respects. The weather
has been unueually warm for the sea-
son, the temperature averaging over
five degrees per day above the normal
The precipitation was much less than
the average amount, except near the
immediate coast. A few heavy rains
occurred in two or three eastern c0un-
ties. Beneficial local showers occurred
on three days. The amount of sunshine
was abundant. These conditions were
very favorable for saving fodder and
late hay, and for cotton, which is open
ing well. Tobacco, curing is finished
in the east. The weather has been too
dry for fall crops and for fall plowing.
Some winter oats have been soWn
Both early and late corn are safe.
Eastern DistTict.-Exceptin near
the coast and a few counties in the
southern portion Of the district, where
a good deal of rain occurred, the week
has been very dry and warm, and on
the whole quite favorable for work now
being done. Cool nights did not set in
until the end of the week. Fodder
pulling is about completed, except
some late fields in the north, and was
nicely saved in large quantities. Fall
crop OF hay is also being cut and easily
cured. The week was very favorable
for cotton, which is opening well, and
picking is progressing, though slowly
at present. A few complaints of boil
worms was received. Early and late
corn both safe. Tobacco is about all
cured. Sweet potatoes are oming into
market. Sorghum cane is very fine,
and undoubtedly large quantities OF
syrup will be made. Toe field pea
crop is one of the finest for several
seasons. Away from the coast it is be-
ginning to get too dry for fall crops.

According to reports from London,
England has this year the largest apple
crop that has been seen for many sea-
sons In all the European countries
the crop is larger than usual with the
exception of France, where the crop is
only good. American apples, if any
are needed, must be of the fanciest va
ri9ties, and reach London in October.

BISHOP WILLIS AND CORPORATE WOR
SHIP.

Bishop Willis again declares, in
a published letter, that the Board
of Health have no right to interfere
with the public" recognition of the
Supreme Being, or with public"
voice of prayer, and, as we under
stand him, the Lord will not lend
his ear, unless he is worshiped in a
corporate capacity" that is to say,
that private and fervent worship is
good as far as it goes, but that IN
less he, Bishop Willis worships, in
his church, in corporate capac-
ity," the Lord will turn a deaf ear,
and, of course, will never regard for
a moment the supplications of "the
Puritans of Honolulu"
AS the Board of Health will not
permit this corporate" worship,
the Bishop, tragically praises him
self, extends his scornful fight at
the Board, and exclaims:
evil it be said, Honolulu, having
dethroned its earthly sovereign, has
proceeded to disown all open allegi-
ance to the Kings of Kings?"
In other words, because the sim
pie earnest Christians of Honolulu
fear that gatherings even in
churches, may spread disease, and
therefore prevent such gatherings,
they are pagans and lunatics and
back-sliders.
The Bishop reminds US of the
venerable and well-known ape in
the Geological gardens of Calcutta,
who becomes melancholy, refuses
to eat, pulls the hair of other apes,
and chatters wildly if he is not al
lowed to occupy particular perch
at meal times. This perch he re-
CARDS as a sort of corporate in
stitution, necessary to his own we'll
being and to that of other apes,
and those who keep him away from
it he regards as miserable Puritan
apes who wish to be wicked and
destroy his peace of mind.

LILIU0KALANI.

II The incidents of the release, by
parole-pardon, of the ex-queen sub
stantially closes another scene in
the miniature historic drama OF
Hawaii. II
Whether the act, urged by some,
if not many, supporters of the Gov
ernment, and finally done by the
Executive, is a wise one is no
longer open to discussion. There
need DOW be no quarrel with the
fact. Many good and loyal peo-
pie endorse it, many good and loyal
people do not endorse it. When
the actual history of the insurrec-
ton of January 9th is written, and
it has not been written yet, it may
appear that those who favor leni-
ency advocate the wisest course.
An honest, impartial discussion of
the character Of that event at the
present time would stir up bad
blood among the supporters of the
Republic. So the subject may be
left to future consideration.
While the ex-queen is now only
a citizen, she has it in her power to
do much for her own race, and
much which may command the
respect of the dominant element
here that is, the white alien races.
Fortunate indeed will il be for her
if she call to herself some wise adj
wiser, who will recommend her to
follow a few simple rules of con-
duct, which will cost her nothing
but may be of great benefit to her
self personally, and of decided ben
eft to the people she once ruled
over. Even the unobtrusive exam
pie of the Queen Dowager is not an
unworthy one for her to follow.
No one expects that she should
clearly see the drift Of political
events, because she is a Polyne-
sian; but every one can hope that
she will, without anger or malice,
accept the inevitable; that is,
make the best of it. No doubt the
great danger is that bad white ad-
visers will confuse and distract
her. The people who can really
aid her are not anxious to volun-
teer their services. But experience

A DIET AND HYGIENIC SOCIETY.

There are number OF lnteIIi-
gent, educated women in this city
who have leisure, and would be
much happier if there were some
important subject toward which
they could direct serious attention.
The subject of the proper diet,
clothing and hygienic conduct in
general would not be held in con-
tempt by great male scientists, so
that there is no occasion for women
to consider the subject mere Grub
bish," as the Arkansas women re-
garded the encyclopedia.
The subject touches the life,
health and prosperity of men,
women and children. AS the best
life Ga earth depends largely upon
the physical conditions, there can
surely be no more interesting or
broader study than that of ascer-
tanning the best hygienic condi-
tons, and the food, and its prepar-
alton, of a race that has entirely
changed its environment.
The doctors say that more than
one-half of the mothers do not
know how to take care of their
children. If SO, it is time they
learned how.
Browning societies have their
uses, of course, but these and SINH
lar societies call for no special
mental work, and are therefore
rather Iuxuries, or pastimes.
A society for hygienic treatment
calls for some hard work. The
prevailing nervous diseases are
covered by it. The new woman"
calls for hard work, and brain
work, and challenges men in the
scientific field. Now is her oppor-
tunity, and one open to those who
abandoned the cooler climates.
No conclusions which women
may easily reach would probably
affect men with fixed habits, and
who are content with things as
they are, even if they are misera-
BILE, and weak, and tire out alto
gether too quickly. But the phys
ical condition and growth of the
children may be vastly improved
by persistent study and expert
ment, and comparison of ideas.
Of course it will be said that the
women can't FIX their attention on
this or any other subject, and that
the woman "who knows it all" will
spoil any effort in this direction,
and, at least, all of them Will prefer
inhaling the sweet odors which ex-
hale from the rotten masses of
scandal. But the times are grad
ually changing. If women, hereto
fore, have not shown a scientific
turn of mind, it is because it had |
no place in evolution" whatever
that is. Their brain power We
believe to be equal to that of man,
but working itself out in quite diff
ferent, but equally importantly ways.
1t is singular that so few edu-
Gated women have ever studied the |
chemistry of cooking. 1t may be |
on the theory that "evo-
luton" has not required it. Has
he opportune moment arrived? If |
20, let the movement begin.
