ENTHUSIASTIC FRUIT CULTURIsTs.
 Some of our people attended the meet ing of the Connecticut Pomological soci- ety, last Thursday, in Waterbury, and report an interesting meeting. The sub- ject for the day was the fruit supply for the family. Among others who spoke was Senator Platt. He said he spent his early days on farm and remembered the wild fruits he used to gather and he thought the farmers ought to raise on their farms all they could of what was necessary for their own use. J.W. Hale of Glastonbury, Edwin Hoyt of New Canaan, N. s. Platt from Cheshire and other fruit culturists also made address, es. Some of the speakers thought if the families were supplied with fruit of all kinds the year round it would do much towards lessening the craving for rum and tobacco.
