always know their situation regarding the future I 1 we left this place for hong kong march esth and have so soon returned to our starting point we can truly say that we had the strongest faith animated ini mated by enjoying much of the spirit of the lord tord that a good work would be done in that land we arrived at H hong am g kong april and began the labor which ws before us we however found the situation and condition of that country entirely the reverse of what we expected from the information informal iou we could gather in california we found about europeans or the be na a bobs of the world merchants officers of the civil 9 government av rement no common class which are found 1 in english colonies in other parts of the world this class we found almost unapproachable on account of their wealth and popularity and look with contempt upon all who are not of the same grade with themselves also a few lawyers doctors doctor sand and a small sprinkling of missionaries also of the upper circles luxuriating upon the proceeds of the cent societies at home and th the 8 I 1 miseries of the people in that region there are about one thousand soldiers the most of whom are irish

Shang hae about they are of the same class of aristocracy as hong kong only more so they are called the most inhospitable people in the world and from what we have witnessed we know als true lit in many respects we began to make our business known upon our arrival and having the privilege of stopping in an old decayed mansion for a short time we tri tried tf for an ail opening to preach sone some of the people seemed eu d quite friendly and wished us success no husn house could bo be obtained wo we took to the streets and there began to teach the principles of the gospel gospe pe some of the people professed to be acquainted with our society in england and had read our character in the papers tills this was revamped and given to the people this however did not discourage us for we were used to such anch things A few of our lectures were very well attended many stopped t 0 aped to hear us but soon our congregations ga dwindled w down till not a soul would stop or attend not dis heartened wo we encouraged each other and continued to preach still batting balling the air and visited tho the people individually for private teaching 8 as s long as one person would hear distributing our books and pamphlets for their perusal trusting in the god of israel and claiming the blessings and promises placed upon us pushed forward to find an opening to see some one who would hear and feel interested in our message we visited the chinese who could speak english they are generally in the employ of the missionaries or the government and command high wages they told us they had no time to talka religion at this time we began to feel by the spirit that the way was darkening before us yet wo we continued to hope our books were returned without a desiro desire to ask a question or answer ours or thanks for their use we looked to the other ports of china true we had the privilege of visiting them but what the chance of success the only sale safe place was hong kong owing to the revolution I 1 spreading g through that country at many of these there places the tha whites were preparing to leave or going on oil board bear d vessels iu in the harbor for protection to 0 go among the chinese we could not not being able to speak their language tims thus things continued till we felt that nothing could be done at present resent we could neither turn to tho the right or left left and having scanty means to remain and no possible pos resource perceivable cei vable for subsistence and th the way opened d for us to return to this point where we could wait the counsel of tho pr sideny y re regarding girding our future movements I 1 the language is only obtained from a living tongue as it cannot be eap exp expressed r ased in in en english V I 1 sh owing to the intonations and in inflections sections 0 of f the ile voice in ill the same word for upon the sound depends the meaning one word may have from 10 to 30 df different ferent meanings this is given by the tone toile the same as in music and to attempt to write the lan guage to prove too loo at one end teachers are not easily obtained who can speak english and thoy they charge very hi high in h and are under the control of the missionaries in each di district strict in china there is a different dialect so that one cannot understand the other yet they have the same characters the residents in that land are only there as temporary persons to acquire a fortune their god is their money and only remain on commercial business with the nations exchanging cash for the products of the country v the catholic missionaries who are mostly of the asiatic clime having obtained the language while young they adopt the manners and customs of the chinese shave their head wear tails and go among them and said they have some success the others do nothing report says that the rebel party are christians how this is we do nt not know as it is contradicted the language must be obtained either by study or the gift ift and power of god before we can tell them the truths of heaven how this is to be brought about is the question which may be asked and that is the very thing that we would like to know upon our arrival here wo we heard of bros canfield field and wade being appointed to operate with us in china after having consulted together we have thought to lay the situation of that country before you and that bro hosea stout should return 1 to the valley and will leave in a few days in company with bro harvy green by wy way of san I 1 respectfully we remain your brethren hren in the gospel HOSEA STOUT JAMES LEWIS CHAPMAN DUNCAN for the news raising rabing fruit frait from the seed I 1 1 D DEAR SIR silt I 1 have ever been of the opinion n that all kinds of hard wooded fruit trees that thrive well in the eastern or northern states will also thrive and bear fruit in perfection when once ac clima cU mated tedor or perhaps more properly roserly speaking naturalized zed to the valley this however however like many I 1 other things must be brought about by time and a t 1 little practical experience which are always needed in ill newly settled countries many people seem to have a great desire to import ir the choice kinds of fruit trees from their native countries in order to come quick in possession of good fruit but for my own part I 1 prefer ral raising ig the fruit trees from the seeds of good kinds to any other method for a tree raised here from eseed seed that bears good fruit is a dif different thing from a tree that bears good fruit from afar off the former being raised liere here from the seed or pip is the beginning of a new generation or kind inheriting all the health and vigor peculiarly adapted to the native soil and climate ard and will continue in in a healthy hearing bearing state for perhaps half a century the latter being from a distant climate perhaps of some 30 years old from the seed or pip is fast declining from its first vigorous state and from the difference of the climate it has been cultivated in is in no way adapted to this country by a little inquiring it is very evident that most varieties varieties ties of good fruit are very local or thrive best in in the place where it was first produced from seed the apple is a good evidence of this fact the nonpareil golden pippin and Rib stone pippin are all ail 1 natives of england and are there noted as most excellent fruit but when once transported to france america or any other country are not I 1 productive and the fruit is of a soft inferior quality vice versa as the lamwers say the native american apples are also local for instance the newtown pippin an excellent fruit in its native home seldom thrives in any other distant place and the baldwin and roxbury russett two fine native apples of massachusetts seldom do well out of their native state the fine kinds of french english german and american pears have also the same local qualities and the various kinds kinas of I 1 plums peaches grapes and most fruit are deir decidedly the best in quality and thrive better in thel their I 1 native place than any other contrary however to the above statement there are several fine varieties of fruit that thrive an and d bear well in almost any country and these are the most likely to do well in iii this climate the most of these fruits seem to approximate near to the wild or primitive stock and like the patriarchs of old if a simile may be allowed between the animal and vegetable ki kingdoms assume a longevity owl owing to their inheriting much of the hardiness of the primitive or parent stock for example the red and white antwerp ra raspberry and tho the red and white antwerp currants are four of the best beat kinds of raspberry and currants ever known and have been held in high estimation by cultivators for years these fruits thrive well in england germany america and almost almo a t every ot other her countr country y tho the reino claude plum of the french generally known know nils s the english green gage is a most excellent productive fruit in every country cherp the plum is cultivated tile the sickle pear a native bof if pennsylvania is also of this character the small red gooseberry known as the warrant warrington has been it a favorite in covent garden market england g for half a century and several other good varieties of hardy fruit might be quoted that thrive well in diffident locations and countries one oae great point in growing fruit in tho the valley appears to bo be in raising the stock from small hurdy hardy kinds that ripen their fruit early and by growing seedlings from such hariett s it is pr probable abd to ensure better varieties in a shorter time i than by raising seedlings from the largo jame late varieties the acclimating or hardening plants by degrees t to 0 a climate to which they do not belong may be v effected 6 ec acted iu in this country more readily than almost any ally other which may bo be accounted for by the well known fact that trees ripen their buds and young wood and are in better condition to with s and a severe winter in a warm dry climate like the he valley than in those climates climate where the winters are not so cold and the summers are not so d dry and hot ai if f the buds and young wood are well ripened or matured lit in summer there is but little fear of cold injuring the blossom hence the peach poi cli ta the e pear apple plum grapo grape and almost any kind lof of hard wood fruit trees may bo ba readily so managed by good and judicious pruning ac as to insure the blossom in a the spring if it is not cut off by late frost when bursting its buds but bat tho the pec of fr fruit dt trees will most probably be great greatly ly accelerated by every new crop of trees grown from the seed of fruit produced in the valley and as each successive generation becomes more hardy it will most probably bear fruit of better quality also in closing this article I 1 do not liebi tate to siy that if the system of raising fruit from sed is generally gane rally adopted in the valley that in a fa few w years wo we may possess one of the best collections of good hardy fruit lit in the world tins this I 1 know is is a broad assertion but time may provo prove the negative or the affirmative it may be laid down as a general rule that iha the continued grafting budding br or rising rasing fruit trees from cutting cluing tho root or any other way than by the seed has a tendency in tim 3 to bring on a gradual decay and disease as trees tree 3 of this kind do not inherit that principle of regeneration from seed necessary to ensure health and vigor the potatoe rot and the rot so called in tire the five kinds of pears in tho the states which has puzzled the learned for a remedy for the disen disease a so I 1 called is nothing more or less lhnn a naturel decay andl and I 1 will here predict that unless a reform is made in the method of growing fruit and many kinds of vegetables by increasing by seed instead of cuttings grafts ac that in a few years vears wo we shall hear of 0 rot cancers and disease in m t the lie orchard and vineyard vinaya rd and all the recipes of man can effect elfeel no other remedy in no other way than by growing a new stock from seed in fact a learned physician may |
