ATTEND TO YOUR PEACHES.

The Alabama Planter says:-A gentle
man handed us yesterday the following,
which may be of service to some of our
readers. A friend of mine has just inform
cd me of the success he met with by the
application of charcoal to peach trees. A
few years ago he had some fine peach trees
in his garden which invariably had wormy
fruit, and the trees were full of gum. When
the fruit was about the size of marbles, he
had the earth removed from each about two
f ct round and three inches deep, and filled
with charcoal. The result was that the
fruit grew to a fine size, free from worms
and every year since the fruit has been
good, and the trees become healthy and
free from gum, while two trees left without
the charcoal continue to bear wormy fruit
and are unhealthy.

HOW TIC KILL HAWKS.


Take large teaspoon full of grated or
rasped Nux Vomica, or as it is sometimes
called "Or Pomit," and add to it one pint
of corn meal and mix it thoroughly; after
which, feed to the small chickens, in the
yard, and as sure as a hawk takes chick
en- when the Nux Vomica is in the craw of
the chicken, so sure will that hawk never
come after a second chicken.
am satisfied, Mr.. Editor, that after one
years experiment, never to be without the
Nux Vomica if continue to raise chickens
or turkeys, where the hawks are trouble
some. So far from the Nux Vomica iniur-
ing the chicken or turkey it keeps them
lively and thrifty. OF course you will dis
continue the use of the Nux Vomica, when
the chicken is large enough to keep out of
the way of the hawk.
The discovery is not original with me,
but so far as know, was made by an old
widow lady, who had more poultry in her
yard at one time, than many others togeth-
er, and not gun was fired at hawk, whilst
her residence was near swamp.
The above you may publish for the ben
eft of your subscribers.-[ american Cotton

BROOM CORN.

The prices which hrooms command IN the
South, ought to induce our farmers to cul-
tiyate broom corn, and some of our citizens
to 90 into the manufacture of brooms. Corn
broons are now selling at ID to 374 cents
each. while they could be made and sold
Lere at home, with profit, at l6 cents
But. the South, blind to its own interests
goes to the North even for its broons as
we'll as for thousands of other things which
could be manufactured cheaper and better
ct home.
About tie longitude of New York. the
proper time TO plant broom corn is from the
] st to the 18th Of June. The rows should
be about three and half feet apart, and
the plants when thinned ont to stand from
four tc xix inches apart. The land most
suitable for broom corn is not the richest
Indian corn land, but rather light loan,
in good filth, deep plowed and finely pull
yerised with the harrow, and manfred with
well rotted compost, or with guano or super
sulphate. The cultivation at first requires
a good deal Of careful work with the hoe,
TO thin ont the weeds and keep them clear
of weeds and grass. The after cultivation
can be done with horse hoe. 1t is labor
lost to hill up broom corn, as well as Indian
corn. Just before the seed is ripe the far
mer goes through his broom corn and breaks
down the stalks in such manner that two
rows interlock and support each other
This process keeps the brush straighter
than it would be if allowed to come to ma
turity upright. 1t should be harvested be-
fore the seed is fully ripe, as it then has
brighter color and tougher brush. The
seed should be stripped off as soon as the
brush is cut, and the stalks cured i'll the
shade, while the seed saved for use must
be- kiln-dried or carefully cured in the sun.
The seed unless fully riPened on the stalk,
is very difficult to cure. If allowed to lay
in a heap it will heat so as to endanger
buildings from spontaneous combustion
The yield of an acre of broom corn, upon
good land, say such as would produce 5O
bushels of corn, will be from 800 to 500
pounds of brush worth from five to ten
cents per pound, according TO the demand.
1t is generally cOnsdidered profitable
crop; many think it an exhausting one.

until so Stacked. Then dissolve in water
white vitrol, (sulphote of zinc,) which you
get at the druggists, at the rate of two
pounds of zinc to a half barrel of whitewash,

making it about the consistency of rich

from rubbing off; Il pound OF fine salt should

= In Auburn, short time ago, an Irish
man walking along one of the streets, saw
thermometer hanging at the side of door
on the front OF the house. Stopping a

faith, an you're the little crathur what
keeps the weather so cowld, are YET" and
with II terrific blow, accompanied with the
usual Irish oath, brought it in thousand
pieces TO the ground

though he goes to bed meek and gentle as

TRUE FRIENDSHIP.
BY JEAN L. BRUCE.

Oh! what happiness-what brightness
In LIES chsngeful scenes appear,
When we meet kind words and actions,
And we feel they are sincere;
When the smiles Of friendship greet US,
And we know they are true,
What greater charm hath this fair world
To offer me or you?
With the beaming sky above Us,
And the lovely earth beneath,
With the music of the ocean,
And the fow'r-enamel'd heath;
With these bcautcous scenes Of Nature,
What more cheering would you ask
Than the glance that speaks affection,
From the heart without mask
For pure truth is such jewel,
Oh! so precious and so rare,
That ii Seems spark from heaven,
Seldom lent to mortal care;
When we meet it in earth's friendship,
Let US prize its holy might,
For it comes unto our spirits,
Like an angel wing'd with light.

FLORIDA LAND AGENCY,

THE undersigned has established an agency
L in the town of Alligator, Columbia (oun-
ty, Fla, for the purchase, sale or location of
Land Warrants, the purchase and sa e OF lands
generally, improved and unimproved. The
fact now being established that Rail Road
is to be constructed Immediately connecting
the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, running
through the entire length of the county, East
and West, anC in view of the great fertility
of our soil, the unusually fine growth of pine
timber on the land, The healthfu ness of the
climate, and the reasonab e terms on whic h
lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps
no section Of the Union which affords equar
inducements to tn emigrant from the older
States. Having had some experience in farm
ing on the different kinds OF land, and ac-
CURED general knowledge of them through
out the county. and having acquired unusual
facilities for pointing out such as are for sale
either of public or private lands, he feels
very confident If making it the interest of
all persons wishing inform alton, or who may
have deter mined to settle in Florida to call

IDLENESS.

The besetting sin of this country is idle
ness. 1t is the root of all evil. Vice, crime
and immortality. are the sure fruits of idle
ness. The Industrious man or woman has
not time to cOncoct and carry out schemes
of viIlainy and crime. They are alien to
the thoughts, and inclination, and pleasures
of the Industrious. As sure as the rising
sun gives light to the world, just as sure is
idleness TO bring in its train vice, crime and
immortality. Why does the gambler resort
to the games of chance! Because he is idle.
Why does the drunkard visit the grogshOp!
Because he is idle. True ii is, that an idle
head is the devils work shop.
In passing through the country, we are
often amazed at the idleness of the people.
We see great big children moping away
their time in idlenesS, instead of being at
school. The parents arc not at work, if not
at grog- shops. 1t would seem that the
chief object of life was to be idle as much
as possible; that the great pleasure and
charm of our existence was idleness We
are taught, i'll Holy Writ, that man is to
live by the sweat of his brow. Six days
are we commanded to labor. This COM
mand is as imperative as it is to keep holy
the seventh day. OF the two it is the more
important to our existence on this earth,
beyond all doubt; and we have much more
confidence in the genuine goodness and
piety of the man who labors all the week,
than we have in him who simply observes
the Sabbatl, day.
Every one who has tried it must know
how much of pain and uneaSiness there are
in mere idlencss. Hence it is that the idle
are driven, from idleness, to vice and crime
for occupation. The drunkard resorts to
the bottle, and the companionship of the
vicious, to kill time. The gambler goes to
the card table and the wine glass for the
same purpose. The idle boy seeks vice
and crime in which to kill his idleness. So
it is with other idlers.
