We hf-ar frequent complaints of the high prices demanded lor the different kinds of Fruit offered in our own market, but the fact that such prices are paid, generally without,much reluc tance, proves that the supply is not sufßcWfß',' that kjuit is a necessity, or (hat,,a t hast it is such a tempting luxury that few are willing to do without it. Good Strawberries sell readily at twenty-live, and vv-rv line ones as high as thirty seven cents per quart. Raspberries com mand nearly the saute price. Peaches sold, a few months since at from $1,50 to So pet bush el, and we have known very fine Apples to com mand'!*!'.?.so per bushel in scarce seasons.— Grapes and good Pears ate seldom offered, their cultivation having been heretofore, almost en tirely neglected. But the prices paid iri f farrishurg are trilling when compared wit ft those of the city markets. A few weeks since we had the curiosity to price the fruits offered fir sale in the Philadelphia market. Very ordinary Peaches were selling at 1,50 to $"2 per basket containing but little more than half a hu-diel, while the same quan tity of fine ones (not to he compared with our Griffiths) sold at Four dollars. Miserable little Seckle Pears were held at seventy-five cents per half peck, ors(i per bushel. Much as we were surprised at being asked such extra prices lor ordinary fruit, we were more so when we en tered some oI the Confectionary ami Fruit stores. Duchesse de, Augonleme pears, weigh ing from one half to three quarters of a pound sold at from 30 to 50 cents each, White Doy enne, Flemish Beauty, Louise bonne de Jersey, \.c., at from 6 to 10 cents each, Isabella Grapes, under the name of''Berks County Sweet" re tailed at 20 cents per pound, equal to at least 30 cents per quart, and Black Hamburg, White Syrian and others raised under glass at $1 per pound. One retail fruit dealer assured us that he paid $2 per dozen ior all the Duchesse pears he could gel, and 50 cents each for all weighing a pound or more, which he sold at 75 cents and $1 each. The same person paid from $5 to $8 per bushel for Seckles and the other varieties of Pears we have named. Our object in mentioning these facts is to at tract the attention of farmers and others to this profitable branch of Agriculture—the most profitable branch, perhaps, of all. There need be no fear of the business being overdone within a century to come, or least within the lifetime of any tree planter now living, in fact it is doubtful whether too much fruit can ever be produced lor the constantly increasing demand. The new method of preserving fruit in air-tight cans and jars, alone causes a demand for more lhan was used for all purposes ten years ago. Even if prices should be reduced one half the business will be highly profitable, and il'the pro ducer is riot satisfied with his home market he can have his truit carried to Philadelphia, or even New York for comparatively nothing, and in the present age ol railroads, the samt remark ma)' apply to most sections of the country. We say, then, to our Agricultural readers, plant Fruit trees and while you are planting select the best varieties. A tree of the besl variety, costs no more than the worst. It is ric more difficult to plant, requires no more atten tion, occupies no more space, and produces a; good a crop, which is worth two or three oi even five times as much as that ol an ordinar) quality. We believe fruit is a necessity, as wt know of no other way to account for the uni versal craving for it, and if it is, the fanner wil be doing the public a benefit, while he is at tin same time enriching himself, by increased at tention to its cultivation. But if it is only ; luxury—an innocent, wholesome luxury—then are enough of the wealthy, and persons of mod erate means who will have it at almost an\ price. We repeat, then, Farmers, plant fruit tree for the benefit of the public, of yourselves an< your children.— Pat. ix. Union. Mummy Wheat — A Potular. Error Ex j'loded.— A few seeds of wheat, supposed t( have been found in an Egyptian mummy, wen some years ago sown; and, having germinatei and sprung up, led eventually to the name o mummy wheat being applied to it, as a distiuc species. The circumstance led to an mquirj on the vitality of seeds in general, and a com mission was appointed in England to experi meat upon different kinds. A report has beet made, whichjwas brought before the Brilist association at its late meeting at Dublin. A register of the experiments that were made ha been kept. From this, it would appear that thi shortest period for which any of the seeds hat retained their vitality was eight years, and th longest forty-three years. This statement a once dispels the illusion as to the nsumni) wheat, and most probaly some substitution o other modern seeds had been made in thesi instances; for it was, moreover, stated at tht meeting, in the discussion that took place aftei the reading of the report by Dr. Steele, that ht had planted many seeds obtained from Egyptiar mummies, but had always tailed to obtain an) indication of their vitality. Another circumstauce was brought to light ir the report with reference to seeds, namely thai they did not retain their vitality whilst entirel) excluded from air. This has been proved by seeds which had been sent home from China ir air-tight vessels, nad which had always failed k germinate. — Porter's A ~ew York Spirit . To Prevent Fermentation tn Cider.— Take a pint of pulverized charcoal, and put i' in a small cotton hag ; then drop it into a barre of cider, and the cider will never ferment never contain any intoxicating quality, anc the longer the cider is kept the more palata ble it will become. (Doubtful, but worth trying.) It is staled that one-fifth of the|cultivated land in England is sown annually in wheat. Thf average yield is given at 33 bushels per acrr —almost double the average of this coun try. Adversity willingly undergone is the gieat est virtue.
