The Fruit Plethora,

Rarely, if ever, has there been such a
superabundance of fruit as now aboupds
in the New England orchards. The limbs
of the apple and pear trees hang heavy
under the weight of their enormous yield
and the ground beneath the Trees is COW
cred with the decaying: dropPings. In
some localities fine apples mhy be had
for the picking, and an offer of half a
dollar a barrel for the fruit On the tree
is eagerly accepted in the rural districts.
Thousands of bushels are being fed to
the cattle and pigs, and the cider mills
are glutted with raw material for the
presses. 1t seems pity to- see such a
large quantity of fine fruit going to
waste. It is almost superfluous to offer
suggestions in the line Of thoughtful phil
anthropy to DR.. Hale, but the glutted
condition of the Orchards suggests that
it might be q g9pd idea to. renew his
farmers fruit Offering, which furnished
such a liberal supply Of. free fruit to the
poor people Of Bottom when it was origin
ally undertaken. Undoubtedly q great
many bushels of apples can now be had
for the asking.-Boston Herald.
