Changing Bearing Yeers.

Changing Bearing Xeers.
It is q most unfortunate fact that
everywhere nearly all the old orchards
get into the habit of bearing only on
alternate years. What is worse, this
wear is generally the same for all old
trees. 30 that when the trees do bear
the fruit is hardly worth the gathering.
This doubtless originally came from q
frost or other climatic condition which
some spring destroyed all the blossoms
and made the trees barren that season.
Then next year they bore an extra
heavy croo. which SO exhausted the
tree that it could not produce fruit buds
for anotehr years fruiting. We have
known farmers who on . part OF their
ample orchard entirely destroyed the
fruit. but this sometimes resulted In
trees making . large extra growth OF
wood that year, and not bearing fruit
until the year came around when all
ample trees were full Of fruit. There
were few apples this year, and II all
vour trees make full show Of blossoms

the branches over and hold them In .
cramped position during the growing
season next summer. II the trees are

over the B. & o. at 1856 o'clock yester-

Archbishop and two Bishops, visited
the parochial schools Of the Cathedral.

literary selections, and presented the
