PEACH TREES FOR FUEL-Peach trees should be
grown upon the praries for fuel No tree grows more
rapidly, and no seed is of terminating than
the peach. The stones should be planted in the nur-

three buds above the ground before Autumn, or in
time for the wound to heal and new shoots TO start.
The young trees may then be taken up and planted
