Soil and Situation for Peach Trees.

Every one thath has studied and careful
" observed the laws Of nature, has no
doubt observed that different situations
and soils have different kinds of trees and
vegetables growing on them. Trees and
vegetables may, il is true, be taken from
their native localities and be transplanted
into different situations and soils; and
may grow and seem 10 prosper for a while,
but, finally, for want of the proper ingre-
dients for their s%ustenance, will pine and
die. Hence the Importance Of selecting a
proper place for an orchard, especially
the peach tree; as it is almost impossible
to have an orchard of peach trees TO grow,
flourish and bear fruit for any length OF
time in this climate Having just secured
our present crop Of peaches, which grew
on the Oldest trees | have any knowledge
Of in III country. / thought it would not
be amiss to lay before the readers Of the
Cuztiuator a history Of them.
In the autumn of 1929, my father NOV
ed to this country, then almost a wilder
ness. On entering his newly acquired
premises, which was all in a state Of ma
lure, except a small field that had been
cleared by some pioneer squatter, his first
object was to clear out o suitable place for
an orchard Of the peach trees. as there
was q nursery Of them growing on the
premises. A brother Of his having NOV
ed TO the county about the same time,
shared equally in the nursery. both trans.
planning their trees at the same time. The
situations Of the two farms are similar,
both possessing hill lands and valley. My
| ather selectad for his orehard the hiohoet
part of his ridge lands, soil rich sand and
clay mixed, with a substratum Of clay and
gravel, underlaid with sandstone rock
The timber growing on it was white, red
and black oak, black and shelibark hicko.

&C.. while his brother selected for his trees,
q side hill sloping to the south, and near
the valley, soil somewhat Thin and poor.
The timber principally beech, interspersed
with an occasional white oak, dogwood,
ironwood, go. Both orchards seemed ia
grow and prosper equally well for q mum.

Practical Preaching.

A number OF years ago, Person d
preached in a town in the interior of this
State. A sound theologian was Parson
B. as a published volume Of his ser
mons %evince; bat like many %clergymen Of
the past generation, he was too much CIV
en- to preaching ''doctrinsl sermons" to
the exclusion Of practical" themes-at
least SO thought one of his Pensioners,
"Mr. B." said he one day to the
clefgymsn, 1--WE know all about the doc
trines by this time. Why don'tyou preach
US a real practical discourss?"
sob, very well. IL you wish il ! will
do so. Next Sunday | will preach a prac-
teal Sermon"
Sunday morning came, and an unusu-
ally large audience, attracted by the re-
port Of The promised novelty. were in at
tendance. The preliminary services were
performed, and the Parson announced his
text. After "opening his subject" he said
he should make a practical application to
his hearers. fIe then commenced at the
head of the aisle, calling zach member o
the congregation by name, and pointing
out his special faults. One vas a littl.
inclined to indulge in creature comforts
another was a terrible man at a bargain
and so on. While in mid volley the doc
of the church opened, and DR.. s. en-
tered.
"There,'' went on the Parson, sis Dr.
s., coming in in the middle Of the ser
vice, jus, as usual. and disturbing the who'll
congregation. He does it just to max
people believe that he has so large a prac
lice that he can'tg get time to come to churcl
in season, but it ism: so-he hasn't beef
called to visit a patient On Sunday TO
three months"
Thus went on the worthy clergyman
At last he came 10 MIR. c.. who ha
requested the practical sermon.
"And now" saddle, sthere's Mr.. c.
he's a merchant-and what does he do
Why, he stays at home on Sunday aitel
noon, and writes business letters. If h
gets a lot Of goods on from New York o
Saturday night, he goes TO his store an
marks them on Sunday, so as to have thel
all ready for sale on Monday morninI
That's how he keeps the Sabbath; and
isn't satisfied with doctrinal sermons-f
wants practical ones"
Atthe conclusion of the service The Pa
son walked up TO Mr.. c., and aske
him how he liked the .'practical sermon.
"Mr. B" was the reply. s'preat
just what you please after this. I'll new
attempt to direct you again."

o. 1t doesn't take but a little to knock
the sublime all out of a fellow. A friend
of ours says he was ~promenading with
one OF the muslin de lanes an evening or
two since, and during the interview. got
really eloquent about the sky, moo and
stars. His heart was brim full of love and
poetry. and he felt that he was producing
an impression. In the midst Of it all the
ludy snapped out: 'Jim if you 60 with
that red head again, I'll kick you till you
cant see!" Our friend hasn't been on
that street since.--Cayuga Chief.
