Fruit Growing.

In an address on Fruit Growing
before the New Hampshire Board OF
Agriculture, ]. III. Hale said:
Fruit is different from all other pro-
auctions of the soil for it is ready for
eating without cooking or other ma
nIpulation. Fruit contributes to the
health of people, sometimes restoring
them to health when drugs and ply
sicians' services fail. More varieties
can be grown to perfection in New
England than in any other part of the
world. Every farm contains soil
adapted to great variety of fruit.
We all succeed best in the business
for which we have a liking and in
which we put heart and soul. The
home market is the best market and
our own homes are the best of all. 1t
is duty we owe ourselves and our
families to furnish a liberal supply of
fruit.
1T is nonsensical to talk about the
depletion of New England soils. The
soil only needs tillage to bring it to
a state Of abundant productiveness.
Tillage and the growing heterogeneous
crops viii restore any good soil to q
should be grown in the field in long
rows so as to be cultivated by horse
power. They should be planted on the
best land Of the farm and should be
grown in large quantities so as to have
many to give away to friends. There
is no great secret in the production
of fruit but it requires good business
Judgment and capacity. Each farmer
must select tie varieties best suited
to his location and conditions. Rasp-
berries should be laid down in the fall
and protected during the winter. Large
growers claim that raspberries can be
laid down and covered with earth for
the winter for so an acre. We must
put brains as well as muscle into the
business. Not only is population in
cIeasing but the consumption of fruit
per capita is increasing in a rapid
ratio. Vast quantities of fruit are
brought in from other states and other
Countries to be sold in our cities and
villages because 50 little is grown in
the vicinity.
New England is the best apple
growing country in the world and
money invested in apple orchards here

Wien apples are gathered they should
be Immediately sorted and placed in
barrels and boxes in which they are to
