FRUIT AND PLANT NOTES. 
AKIN APPLE. 
We were interested quite a little in this apple some years ago 
about the time the Illinois State Society awarded it a premium 
as the most promising new apple. We have sent out a good 
many of the trees and while it is a pretty fair apple we find at 
its old home that it is inclined to be rather tardy and shy 
bearer. The tree is not desirable because it grows very up¬ 
right like a Lombardy Poplar therefore we are working out 
of the sort, because we have apples which we consider far better 
in every respect. The Bayard also of Illinois also a seedling of 
the Milam is even a handsome more beautiful apple than the 
Akin, more regular and probably the better of the two.

Some men will seek patiently for an excuse to do wrong when the 
reason for doing right is in plain sight. 
We are always apt to think him a good conversationalist who patient¬ 
ly listens to all we have to say. 
You have good reason to doubt the patriotism of the man who asks, 
“Will it pay?” instead of asking, “Is it right ?”—Stolen Nuggets.
