Size and Quality in Fruit.

The vaule of a crop Of fruit depends
more upon its quality than quantity.
No matter how large the general fruit
crop may be, Or how heavily the mar
kets may be glutted, good fruit will
always sell readily, and at fair prices.
Nor can there be a surplus grown. II
not sold Immediately the crops may be
dried, evaporated or canned, for there
will arrive a time when such will be
in demand. Too much fruit has not
yet been produced during any season,
When the blackberry was made a cul.
tivated crop it was predicted that, as
the fence and abandoned l0ca.
tons had always afforded a supply,
the introduction of large quantities OF
the cultivated kinds would render
prices too low to realize profits; but az
the crops were increased the berries
were improved, and a demand was
created that grew with the supply, the
consequence being that, although car.
loads are shipped to our large cities
during the fruit season, the prices have
been higher than at any other previous
time when the crop grew wild. The
same rule applies to other fruit crops.
AS the supply increases, the fruit
growers endeavor to advance prices by
improving the size and quality Of the
fruit. There are many ways open for
preserving the crops. Such crops as
apples, pears, peaches, plums and
cherries may be evaporated and stored.
while cider, wine and vinegar are also
products, to cay nothing of the various
methods Of canning and preserving
the different kinds of fruit. In ventur.
ing upon fruit growing, the varieties
selected should be those best adapted
t. the climate in which they are to be
grown, prolifcacy, hardness and
quality being the chief considerations.
And 1t must not be overlooked that
some varieties require special cultiva-
ton, while the character of the soil Is
also an important factor. In MARKET
ing fruit something depends upon the
mode Of shipment, willie the manner
of harvesting and the proper time for
so doing largely affects the keeping
qualities. Like every other pursuit,
labor is necessary. Preventing insect
depredations and pruning at the right
moment calls fer good Judgment and
careful Observation-Disclosures Record

There is the same necessity for nav

individuals that there is in the Ease Of
the focks and herds of larger animals,
and in a general way the same rules
apply to making and maintaining such
a flock. There is often on the farm
q flock of common stock that is free
from disease, hardy and vigorous, well
acclimated and well accustomed to its
surroundings ard yet not very profit.
able. The one who has the care Of this
flock should look into the matter and
learn If possible why 1t is SO. Blood
is much In e flock, but it is not every
thing. The n who cares for the
flock should be cble to tell the pro-
ducers and non-producers; he should
know the good mothers from those
that are too lazy to scratch for one
chick; should know those that readily
respond to feed. He should consider
the purpose for which the fowls are
kept. We hear much to-day about
general and special purpose cattle; the
same distinctions should prevail N
the poultry industry. When the pur.
pose for which the flock is to be kept
is decided upon, whether for eggs or
meat, weed out the flock closely along
this line; procure a pure-bred male of
one Of the breeds appropriate to the
purpose in view, and grade up the
hardy vigorous wp1l-acc1imatpd birds
continuing the process Of selection
from generation to generation. This
process is not SO rapid, Of course, as
the substitution Of the pure-bred flock
from the start, but it is safer, and with
the increasing interest that will be
taken as to care, management and
selection. ability and knowledge to
give pure-bred are will have been
acquired by the time the flock is prac.

Tie boys did well, and the people dld
well also by giving them a crowded

funny business, and Professor Shoe
maker made the boys show up well on
their instruments. A very sweet duet
was performed by Miss Nettie Vein
berg on the piano and Professor Shoe
maker on the violin which was very
pleasing to the audience. Mr. stubbs
of Sumter sang a solo which was de-
lightfully rendered. We cannot say
that the Sumter Orchestra was any
addition to the performance, it was in
our opinion, rather a hindrance, for
instance: While Mr.. Joe Wells was
singing his solo the orchestra drowned
his voice, and made it lose its usual
sweetness and melody. But take the
performance all in all it was Bran
good, and we hope the boys will give
US some more.

Hot Cross Buns.

IL its early days, when, it is to be

part in converting the people Of these

honor Of the goddess Of spring, and
Christian missionaries found that
though they could alter the views Of
the people in reference to religious
matters they could not induce them to
withhold from the consumption Of con-
fectionery. So they put the sign Of the
