Loaded Fruit Yrees.-In looking about

 among Fruit Trees, we notice an almost

 unprecedented burihen of fruit upon them.

 We have seen number of healthy, large Apple trees broken tp the ground by the surplus weight. Writers on Horticulture uniformly urge the necessity of taking of the superfuous fruit rather than prop up the trees to retain an unnatural quantity of it.. Where there is such an excess, 1t all must deteriorate and be diminutive and half grown, without Butriment or suitable fa- vor. Ifthere is only proper proportion of fruit retained on the tree, it will acquire full size and richness, and when ,natured, be worthy of preservation. A bushel Of good apples is ofmore value thanstwenty of poor ones. So to discriminating taste, a peach is better than a pumpkin. There is a prevailing principle in vegetable, as well as animal life, that to OVerburtken is to in- jure the strength and impair the constitu- ton. Somc trees have an excess of fruit one season, and are barren the next. May not this arise from exhaustion off the resour- ces of the tree, rather than from any eccen- tricity in nature Northampton Courier.
