Fruit Culture. This is a Subject that deserves the deepest interest and it is being inquired itito nii'i'Q and more by "the progressive farmer. Our State Horticultural Society says that Souther® Indiana is among the best for fruit growing. tVe, after looking around and observing our neighbors, are eonvineed that this is true. Every branch of industry must have its birth in a new locality, here fruit growing has only just been tried and Mr. Brentou who lives two miles east of town told mo last week that his blackberries paid him well and he could realize a profit in raising them t<> shin. Thus far he has fpund*a reaily sale for all he has had in tho home market. Win. MeClerry who lives twenty miles south of Petersburg has fifteen acres planted in wine-sap apples, this orchard ho told lire realized him a profit of $1,000 per year one year with the other. Ho usu ally keeps the apples late before .marketing, thus receiving the highest prices- I find the Koitler pear well adapted to your soil and it does not blight as other pears do. They commence bearing three years from planting, at lour years some trees produce one-and-a-half bushels, at five years tvvo-and-a-balf and three bushels each. Mr. Illue of Marion county, Kentucky, has tfiree thousand Keifl'or pear trees in his orchard. Last year some ot tho older trees boro very full and ho had six hundred bushtds of fruit—which brought him over $1,200. an average of over $2 00 per buslieJ. Mf. Ufa bold of the same county lias 00 iree^ wjiich occupy less than one-half acre of ground, last year the fruit sold front- these trees brought $0 00 or ,$5.00 a tree. A good portion of tin*, fruit sold for $2.50 per bushel. He is so well pleased that this spring lie intends to set out 600 more peattrees most of which will lie the lviefler.

Now our neighbor Lan Shandy gold $15.00 worth of pears from one Keiflfer tree five years old last year. He sold $0.00 worth of peaches from one lemon cling peach tree. Suppose now wo study how to take care of the orchard wit'h the same care we study how to feed and keep the stock. Don't you think we could improve on the wav? Have you takeu care of your orchards, suppose for instance you would keep the cattle out, the hogs out and cultivate carefully, not deep nor too close to the trees, but to prevent your orchard from becoming a hotbed forvermine ot every kind to sting and ruin your crop of fruit. In buying trees select the varieties best known to you and that do the best in your soil. You will find the budded trees the proper ones to plant as they are the healthiest in every respect. I am often asked what is the difference between bedded and grafted trees; tjie budded

tree is raised in one to two years from tlie seed. Then it is inoculated with a’healthy bud; the process is only on tlie bark of the tree, when lids bud is nicely started tlie original or old top .is.removed and the bud make the top of the tree and you get ail the roots with the tree. This tree is free from heart-cat and is the most expensive, as it takes front three to fiyo years to make. It is the only tree worth your time tb set out. The .grafted trees are made by splicing a piece of lintb the size of a lead peueil to a piece of root the same size, it is planted and grown for two years and put on the market. This is the cheapest tree, kept in nursery stock and small nurseries ba»d)c this class of tree because they can sell them at a

low price, I he trees commence to die from the time they are set out and do not live to make good sized trees because hollow from the imperfect union at the heart. The budded tree i< the healthiest tree and the healthiest tree is the best tree Your count} lias been cursed with grafted trees because of (be difference in price. I want .to call your attention to the grape as a money-paving crop. Mr Manegoe, of Torre llaute, cleared $5,000 off of 40 acres of grapes in one year. There is one more kind ol fruit I, wish to call your attention to which is flic german prune, they do splendid hero. Mr. Kinder man* ol lioouville, raises them to perfection, so also does his neighbor Mr. Kdlis Goard. This is a fruit every farmer ought to have as they are much nicer when put up .for winter use hv lliO home process. I look to Clay county Illinois with her fruit farms amounting to 70,000 acres, also to the fruit trains loaded with fruit from Southern Illinois. At every station, it is a jam in fruit season, from one to five cars are loaded at each station on the Illinois Central from Cairo, north. There are strawberries, raspberries, rhubarb, asparagus, onions, lettuce, radish, peaches, plums, pears, apples and tomatoes, all these are raised beside you on the same kind of soil in tho same latitude. And, it can be done right here around Petersburg and will he done here when tho farmer is compelled to resort to another kind of farming than wheat. 1 would like to see a fruit growers association organized ^hero, it would he of great benefit to our farmers, and would awake a new industry in our midst. Our neighbor, Gitson county, has such an organization and they are taking great interestm the culture of fruit. I will he glad.lfo assist in any such a-.Movement or render any. information on this subject to our farmer triends and those interested. W. E. McEldkkry.

Mr J. P.

HEALTH AND CITY NOISES. Cceleu Sounds That Tend to DlnrgUlit the Human Drain. Not long since a foolish gentleman, who preferred to live in New York or not to live at all, committed sui cide rather than longer to endure the earsplitting noise of the bells of a neighboring church. In thousands of cases people are being made ill, are committing slow suicide or are bein&j>ainful!y and slowly kijled by useless ffty noises. Noise, then, becomes a question of health and of medical importance concerning which physicians should have a word to say and a duty to perform. Sociologically the whole community has an unrecognised duty as regards noise that rests upon a physiologic and test betic basis. Delicacy and accuracy of response to a physiologic stimulus are the characteristic marks of perfection in au organism. Whatever presents this is against the welfare of society and progress. In this beautiful noise making era one or two things must follow the ceaseless bruising of the mind by noise. Either the auditory mechanism and the nervous mechanism with which it is related—that is, the whole mind—must become blunted iu sensitiveness, crushed or stupefied, or it must react pathologically. People are therefore divisible into two classes—those whose nervous systems and minds are becoming mechanical;zed, nu(Bsthetic and brutalized, anil; those who, thus failing to kill sense and mentality, develop disease reactions. The distinct agency of noise is to make us either savage or sickly. Civilization, of which r.oisemaking is a decided component, is thus bearing in its bosom a seif poison, to its own undoing. We are losing all refinement and delicacy of the senses and are reverting to the condition of the barbarian whose senses had to be'pounded and whipped into reaction, or we are becoming neurotic, hysteric aud neurasthenic. From whatever aspect the subject be considered it. seems strange that people will submit to the indignities of the noisemakers. A thousand are outraged in order that one or a few may possibly be benefited. The slfrieking of whistles and the ringing of bells to notify workmen to stop or t o start work is an instance in point. Everybody has ft watch or a clock at hand. Why, then, blow the whistles? Why also thunder or jungle bells to tell people that should bo asleep what o’clock it is during the night? The 10 per cent of people who go to church must be warned by bolls, but have the 80 per cent no rights? And what about the sick? The milkman arouses a whole neighborhood in delivering a quart ofTmilk. The cartmen, the peddlers, the T.awkers, the ragmen, etc., bawl and howl to be heard half a mile away if some other greater noise near by did not drown their voices. There are persons that think it strange that barking dogs and crowing roosters in a city should be objected to. The degree and character of the civilization of a country are indicated by the amount rf unnecessary noise it < endures, and this is accurately gauged by the condition of the pavements of its cities.—Philadelphia News.

■ Into the Jaws of Death. The hot July sun was zenith high upon the field of Gettysburg that direful day in the midst of the fiercest battle of the centuries. General Hancock, reaching the spot where the Union line was being forced backward, halting his furiously ridden horse, called out: “What regiment is that?” “The First Minnesota.” “Charge those lines!” A charge into eternity that order meant. At double quick, without discharging a gun, with the concentrated fire of the Confederate army pouring a leaden rain of death upon them—at double quick, then at full speed, they charged into the enemy’s advancing ranks- General Hancock saw that a five minute’s respite meant the arrival of re-enforcements and a turning of the tide of battle. He sacrificed this noble regiment in those fearful five minutes, and the position was held. The charge saved the day, but SS per cent of the men who made the charge were left on the field. Nearly every officer was dead or mortally wounded. Of the S68 men who made the charge, 215 were shot down by the bullets of the enemy; 47 were still in line. Judge Loclireu of Minneapolis, now commissioner of pensions, in his description of the charge, of which he was one of the very few survivors, says: “The aunals of war contain no parallel to this charge. In its desperate valor, complete execution, successful result and its sacrifice of men in proportion to the number engaged, authentic history has no record with which it can be compared.”— Harper’s Weekly.

An Klee trie Whip. A wily horse trainer some time ago provided the jockey who was riding his horse, for a valuable cup, with a complete electrical outfit for supplying current to a pair, of elect rical spurs. The current was found to be an infinitely mare potent stimulus to the speed of the horse than the simple steel spur, and the horse won. A protest was entered, and the jockey was disqualified ''and the race forfeited on the somewhat inconsistent ground of (Cruelty. It seems doubtful whether such an objection can be brought against the latest form of horsewhip, which is constructed so ns to give a slight electric'shock to the animal. The handle, which is made of celluloid, contains a small induction coil and battery, the circuit being closed by means of a spring push. The extremity of the whip cousists of two small copper platgs insulated from each other, each of which is provided with a tiny point. The plates are connected to the induction coil by means of a couple of fine insulated wires. As a means of surprising a sluggish animal ihto his best work without^ the infliction of physical pain, the electrical horsewhip will by many be hailed with gladness.—New York Commercial Advertiser. The Word “Chouse.” I should say that chouse can only be considered good English in the same sense that burke, macadamize, boycott,- bowiderize i and grangerize can be held to be Euglish. GJiouse has a very curious origin. It was formerly spelled chiaus, chiauz andchaous —various corruptions of the Turkish word for a messenger, agent and interpreter. It happened that a Turkish traveler in Loudon, in the reign of James I, ^swindled some of the merchants trading with Turkey out of large sums of money, and from the notoriety of the circumstance the word came to mean a cheat °aml so gave rise to the verb jo chouse. Ben Jenson mentions a chiaus in “The Alchemist.”—G. A. Sala. Intended as a Joke. As a bridal pair drove up at Atlantic City, recently, it was observed by some 50 loungers that one of their trunks bore the legend in huge chalk letters, “Do you love me, darling?” An unknown friend had done this kind act.—Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer. _' _
