WHERE TO PLANT PEACH TREES.

Those intending to Plant Peach orchards
would do well to consider the following be-
lore determining upon location:
After several years experience and close
observation, the writer has found that those
peach orchards planted upon an elevation
having height greater than the surrounding
lands, produce crop OF fruit each year
whilst those planted in rayines, or de-
pressions, or ON level land, usually fail, ut
least two years out Of three.
The cause Of this difference in fruiting, |
think, is this: upon elevated locations the
winds are more constantly in action than in
depressions and on lc,ei lands, and in con-
sequence evaporation is carried on more
rapidly, drying up the humidity or moisture
upon the buds that may have collected there.
Therefore the frest does not penetrate the
vital part of the bud or bloom. On the other
hand. if water remains upon the buds, il
congeals by only an ordinary irost-thus
killing the fruit
Some writers see are recommending the
piantiag ef peach orchards on land close
" and densely surrounded by heavy foresi
trees; my observation wead dictate tbs

This gully being near the middle Of one OF

that respect, as well as being a fine vehicle

Now, if any one of the readers Of the Farmer
should not have learned this mode ' filling
gullies, let him try it-and do it in the fol
Iowing manner: Put in few cotton o,
corn stalks, or brush, and scatter the herds
grass in with it, without threshing; it will
not then SO easily wash away and the task
is done.
When your grass takes root in the bottom

When your gully becomes fuli-and it will
suffer the plough to slide over and not plougf
up the grass. else the gully might re form
The grass will occupy a row or two in width
so would the gully, with this difference, tht
grass will make fae hay, and afford grazing

fore William ILL.,, Cromwell had ehcctually
intcriered in their behalf, and made Pope

Of Christianity in Italy are deeply involved,
In December, lSI7, the King

lcges. This was done, and on the 10th oi
February, 1913, two weeks before the last
French revelation was dreamed of, that Con

was proclaimed. With one sweep of the
Royal pen, the Waldenses were liberated
from the bondage OF centuries. In the next
two years many more advantages were guar

to take upon herself all the cares of welded

protect her. The wife agrees to love, honor,
and obey, which are only promises conting-
ent on the good conduct of the husband.
