This paper, a part of: which is presented below, was read last fall before the State Agricultural Society. On request, Mr. Earle was allowed by tho Agricultural Society to also read it bofore the Horticultural people.

lived of all

iruit trees. Many instances of notable longevity have come within the observation on the reading of every pomolOr gist. You have all heard, and doubtless many of you have seen the remark*, able tree which grew in the neighborhood ot Vinoehnes. It was fittingly named the "mammoth pear" in that region, and has been somewhat propagated from under that name. It did not attaiu remarkable age, but grew to a

size, some three feet in

diameter of trunk, and yielded the enormous amount of 180 bushels of

P«ara v'.

lour plates of pears,

which he happily designated "Centennial Pears." These four varieties of: our noble fruit were neither of

rioy lur Biio, uuo

pearance, or superiority or flavor, but they were remarkable for the great age of the trees upon which they grew.

Wherever the French Hugeanots settled in this country, we find old and healthy pear trees. Some of them are on the banks of the Detroit river, in Michigan, and some are found in the region of the Kaskaskia settlement, in Illinois. The fruit from some of these trees was shown at Chicago from.a tree 3 feet in diameter and 80 feet nigh, which gives an annual yield of about 30 bushels.

To find older trees than these, .we must go to a country with an. older civilization. In Earope'we* find them much older. There are several tre«s in Belgium which are known to be 400 YEARS OLD, '&!» and you have read of the very extraordinary tree in Herefordshire, England, which sometimes yielded fifteen hogsheads of pears in a single year, and whose maguificent branches shaded more than half an acre!' But these memorable trees which began to grow in that far away time when the "Wars of the Roses" were harrassing Englanp—a hundred years, before Shakespeare and Ben Johnson lived, or Spenser wrote tbe Fairy Queen, and that have witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties which had probably been sometime in bearing because a hundred and fifty years old when the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. These ancient trees received their training in times when there wasn't much scientific horticulture, and were doubtless greatly neglected. We have no evidence that they were ever cultivated as they shonld have been, or that they received that systematic eat ting back and pinching ef the branches which is indispensible in these more enlightened days, according to onr pomological anthorites.

He then proceeded to dilate upon the fact that pears ought to be as plentiful a9 spples, and still they are never found so. Perhaps no other fruit has been grown in so many countries, under such a variety of climate, and in such diverse soils. They were a common frnit two or three thousand years ago in Egypt, Greece, Syria and Italy.

And yet, with all these proofs of a. cosmopolitan natnre, wein th® .West staud face to lace with nine failures in pear growing where we find on» sue3 o«e«. \Abd p£ar cultufe in the da so questionable in its general anoceas

all these facts, is it not apparent thaithere is something radically wrong in our American methofls: o£ ipetHrntwe management? Tbe contrast Hi too great between: the ideal and the. actual: between-what we anticipate,

alize.

vwh«jii

with elated spirit we plant pear orchards, and the melancholy harvests of aiokly and blighted trees, and the few bushels of fait fruit wa Anally re

A tree that naturally lives for

centuries, ahd that enduroa almost all the climates of the world, should not in our hands die in very infancy. But tho Bad truth is that most of our Western trees begin to die when they begin to bear, if not before. Probably not half this pear trees planted in' the sissippi Valley have ever reached their th year—and I doubt if one in ten

half the pear trees planted in' the MisValley have ever react* tenth year—and I doubt if one has lived a score of years. I am burdened with the inquiry if this is the very best we can do in Western pear culture.

The grower cultivates to the last degree of thoroughness lie manures heavily he rRUNES IN WINTER AND IN SUMMER he prunes both branches and roots he prunes in winter to promote woodgrowth, and.in summer to check it. He cultivates and manures to secure luxurienco of growth, and root-prunes that the growth may not be too luxuriant. And out of all this expensive, enthusiastic thorough-going, contra dictory patchwork of misdirected science, comes this pittiful jeremiad of failure. But let it be remembered that thisorchardist was doing no more than onr orthodox authorities recom mended that he was carrying out the rules of our fruit books in the fullness of their spirit, and with uncommon energy.

This illustration of modern methods and their results, leads me to say that if there is one conviction more firmly settled in my mind than- another,. regarding this subject, it is that most of the failures in! modern pear culture, especially in America, aud West, especially in the West, are the result of our artificial system of management of the trees. The climate, with, the soils of the upper Mississippi valley, is probably more trying to fruit trees than any other past of the

What I incline to do for myself, and suggest for your consideration, is to study the history -so far as possiblo, of these noble trees which we presume to be the monuments of a ..natural treatmenti and then as nearly as] practicable do likewise. I think that our want of success lies not mainly, in: our soils or in our trying climate, but in our system of propagation and culture From the first planting of the seed through all the nursery training anc orchard management, we follow a plan precisely contrary to nature's methods of tree growing.. Nature plants' the seed where the'tree is to grow, and she does not transplant. Nature does not cultivate the aoil,.but mulches. Nature doesnot plant her trees 30 or 40 feet apart, and expose them to scorching heat and destructive cold ih bleak and naked fields but she plants in: thickets.and under, shelter, and secures, the greatest possible equilibrium of tern psrature and moisture. 'There Is- no pruning in her method—no trimming up, "Or.: cutting back or thinning ou t, to regulate the balance of the tree forces* And yet she has given-us examples of respectable

in producing sym

metrical trees! My notion i9 that nature is the better tree-grower, and we may take some profitable lessons from her. It is true that the propagation Of a given variety of fruit is. necessarily artificial, and the growth of trees in or-: chards somewhat so but in all the essentials of tree-growth wo may follow the example of o.nr great teacher much more olosely than we do. Tho trans planting of a tree in the nsual' way, where three quarters of the roots are left in the ground,is a very, violent arid unnatural operation. If. compelled to transplant at all, we should get them from the nursery as youn«. aa possible, so violating the natural order as littlo as. may be,, and we should get trees Of the greatest native vigor. Such trees planted with nearly entire roots in: our rich soils well prepared, will need little cultivation to make a sufficient annual growth for good health. The liberal tillage and pruriiDg which' most oP-our western trees have received is beyond question the cause of much of the disaster that has attended our pear culture

He then proceeded to discuss the various soils. Thought light colored soil produced light colored fruit. He did not favor black prairie loam. Pears, to sell well, must be of a bright yellow, The worst possible shade is plain green. The gentleman continued at length discussing the various favora ble and unfavorable conditions in a wonderfully thorough manner. His manner and diction are both pleasing and effective,

After he had concluded there was considerable discussion elicited by bis radical views. Numbers of those pres ent agreed with him. Dr. Furnas however, thought that trees not pruned would grow so thick, scraggy, ugly and unmanageable as to be worthless They would be a perfect sight to be hold.

Mr. Earle, in answer, remarked that he had trees ten years Old which had never been pruned, and yot they were not too thick with branches. He could riot say that he was opposed t® prun ink apple trees, as he did not know much about them.

Capt. Potter thought that it was hot desirable to have pears as plentiful as apples, siheei they'are not so healthy, He had *lwaya been able to eat a couple of dozen apples a day, but that many pears inade him sick

Dr. Furnas was called on to give -his medical experience. He did not know much about tbe subject. he .saidij bu^ thought that a peck or two of pwri ought to mak«almost any man sfdt He, however, had never, as yet, gotten hold of enough to effect him ip the least.

A horrible massaere is reported near Atoka, in the Indian nation. The bodies of four persons were found burned on the prairie, two of which were females. Two were burned beyond recognition. The others were whites. A ponv with a lady's side saddle, a dog and a gun were found near. They had all been shot. Three men were seen riding nine miles from the spot, supposed to have done the shootiug. The prairies were, fired to destroy the trail.

Reduction of Freight BatesI New York, Dec. 21.—This afternoon a dispatch was received by Vice President Blanchard, of the Erie Railroad, announcing that the Grand Trunk Railroad declined t-j enter into the proposition tor an increase of their freight rates from Boston to Chicago, in order to correspond with the freight rates from that city. In consequence of this refusal, the Erie Railroad Co. resolved to put their rates lor freights to Chicago at: the following figures: First-class, thirty cents per one hundred pounds second-class, twenty-five cents third-class, twenty cents fourthclass, twenty cents and a special class, including sugars, coffees, etc., at iifteen cents. These rates are much lower than those which have been in operation from Boston, and which were: First-class, forty cents per hundred pounds to Chicago second class, forty cents third-class, thirty cents iourth, twenty-five cents and a special class, lifteeen cents.

Mr. Blanchard said he had not heard to-day from the .managers of the .New York Central and Pennsylvania road, but. then their actions would be joint, and all the New York schedules would be reduced together.

Gonsiderable sbrpriwtwaacreated last evening "by the report hat Col. Hoiloway had precipitately reiired from the Indianapolis Journal, leaving Judge Martiudale the sole proprietor of the paper. The talk. of.the town was that Col. Hoiloway had held a ouethird interest in the. coiioerh "since the last changes a-few months since, and that Mr. Martindale held tbe other two-thirds in. trhst for Morton, tbe Journal'sPreslderitial candidate,* 'first, last* and aUihe'titiae/' There aro two theoriee advWicW by the gossips as to thecauseVLo ^h|::«tidden change, one that tbe pa^rrwill'.thns berable: to defend biniWlt¥6ut:Btultifyirigifaelf, and the other that the. good or the paper demanded it For the present at least, this change-Will:not effect the editorial and reporiial force of' the paper, as the power behind!the thrown is undoubtedunchanged. [From the Journal.]

The one-third interest in the. Journal, held by Col. W. R. Hoiloway, has been sold and transferred to E. B. Martindale

When the Journal was purchased in October last, it waa thought that Col. Hoiloway would be able to devote a certain portion of his time to the bnsness of the newspaper without interfering with his duties as postmaster, but this having been proved impracticable, he has preferred to withdraw from the Journal in order to devote his exclusive attention to bis public official duties. It is proper for the remaining proprietor to say, in th^ most emphatic manner, that there never has been, nor is there now, anything but.the most amicable! personal and business' relations existing between himself and Col. Hoiloway, arid that the separation is made with fegret for the loss of one whose large newspaper experience and ability has always commended him to the confidence of the public and the journalistic profession. .!•!'.!"".

Y., and known as tbe "World's Dispensary"—a most appropriate name, indeed, for that vast institution, within whose walls are manufactured remedies which are in demand in every quarter of the globe, and at wbicb a corps of distinguished physicians and surgeons, under the personal direction of Dr. Pierce, are constantly administering to the needs of thousands ol sufferers everywhere, and whose success in the treatment of all forms of chronic ailments has become so well-known that there is scarcely a hamlet in the land in which his name is not familiar. Its proprietor, says tbe Herald and Torchlight, of Detroit, "is a man of the people, writes for them, and to them tenders bis eminent professional services." His advertisements are earnest exhortations. Like the great revival ists, his enthusiasm is multiplied by the unparalleled success of his enterprise, as well as by the efficacy of his remedies in curing disease. The people believe in him and bis remedies, because, as the New York Times savs, "be sympathizes with them in all their afflictions, efforts and attainments." Hence Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is to-day more largely employed as a blood and liver medicine, and also as a cough remedy, than any other medical agent in the world. His favorite Prescription, be does not recommend as a "cure-all" as is often done by compounders of worthless, humbug nostrums, but for all diseases' and weaknesses peculiar to women it :has proved itself so much of a specific that it now enjoys great popularity and universal confidence. Dr. Pierce's Pit asant Purgative Pellets, scarcely larger than mustard seed, have proved so' agreeable and reliable as a cathartic that they are rapidly taking the place of the large nauseuss pills heretofore so much in use while his Compound Extract of Smart-Weed is a favorite remedy for Colic, Cramps, Summercomplaint, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus, and also as a liniment

Ot Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, little need be said, aa.they. are known everywhere:as the greatest-specifics- for .Catarrh and cold in tbe head, ever given to the pub lie. And besides this large measure of success, Dr. Pierce seems likely to achieve as gi eat renown as an author as he has as a physician. His Common Sense Medical Adviser, a book of about 900 pages, which he sells at the unparalleled low price of $1.50, has already been sold to-the extent pf exhausting two editions, amounting to ibrty thousand copies. The' secret ol DrV Pierce's success* a* well .as thatoj the great revivalists, and scores of'other Americans, who. by. their genius have advanced step! by ®tcp from obscurity to' effluence arid' distinction, consists in treating the people with consideration, sympathy, candor and -honesty. No man who hopes to attain jeither wealth or distinction, can afford to deal unfairly, with the world, or be indifferent to the wants aud bist instincts of humanity.
