FRUIT BLOOM BACKWARD.
Date of Full Blooming This Spring is Be-
hind the Usual Time.

Under ordinary weather the peach
and other fruit trees would be in full
bloom but at the end of last week not a
blossom was to be seen. A change of
weather may make a great difference
this week and put the trees in full
bloom.
The usual date for the full peach
bloom is from the 18th to the Goth of
April. In 1875 all signs failed and in
spite of the freezing weather and ice in
the buds on April 16 there was an i'm
mense crop of fruit. The trees were
bursting in blossom when on April 16,
there came heavy rain and decided
freeze. The buds were filled with ice
and the ground was frozen so hard
that it was impossible to plow, yet the
buds were not damage.
In 1886 the full bloom came in the
first week in May, and on the night of
May 9th, a freeze swept out nearly
every bud.
In 1873 the blossom came from
March p to "a, and on the night of
the latter date the crop was totally de-
strOyed.
In the case of the pear there is
greater range between the blossom
ing of the different varities than is the
case with the peach.

Mr. Carnegie proposed that the univeY-

They heartily endorse his plans.
The proposed university will not in

will supplement them, for according to
the present plan. it's doors will be open
only to those who desired to take up a
