PROFITS ur FRUT ITI/ITRK.
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.
