EXPERIENCE WITH PEACH TREES.

Ten years ago bought and transplanted two hun
dred peach trees which netted me two years ago,
$780, The soil was too rich and they are now ar-
ly all dead Four years ago, bought an orchard OF
900 peach trees. and 300 apple trees set between
them. These trees now 10 years transplanted,
and last September they netted me $1,000. They
were set thinner soil than the first lot except in
one corner where they have all died. am satisfied
that peaches require the kind of soil that pota
toes 10, to prevent their rotting-thn or poor up
laai, Cultivation is necessary to fruit bearing If
tie orchard be seeded, you need not expect many
peaches. The kinds like best, are old Nixon
Orawford's Early, Crawfords Late, Melocotton,
Smock and Morris White.
The peach borer is an inveterate enemy but 80 yell
lows is the great destroyer. Perhaps this disease
lis superintended by rich soil and farm yard
manure. / think mineral manures only are necessa-
ry and little Of them if the land is properly cultivat-
ed by raising potatoes, other low crops or with
out crops.-COr. Ana. AgricuHurist.

IMPRISONED ANIMALS.

Animals need shelter but imprisonment is neither
necessary nor beneficial The horse and cattle stalls
in too many instances supply only requisite, viz
warmth. Animals are often penned up from week 10
week, in narrow quarters, reeking with filth which
fls the air with noxions efiuva, where little or no
light can enter though they were undergoing pun
ishment. NoW even the best accommodations that
be provided, in measure unnatural. Our
climates, where they are accustomed to roam at will
during the entire year. Every important change
from this their natural condition will more or less in
terfere with their best development. If abundant
and wholesome food pure air, and plenty Of light
be supplied, the benefits of shelter will more than
counterbalance the loss of freedom.
Confinement of animals should not be too strict.
Some amountof exercise is Indispensable The horse
that is kept standing the stable floor for weeks has
swollen limbs loss Of appetite will be likel to ac-
quire the habit Of cribbing and when finally used,
will over exert himself, and then quite likely lay up
fer time with stifened muscles Cattle become
restless and feverish from long confinement and will
moderate amount of exercise daily good plan is
to turn them loose in sheltered yard after the first
feeding, while the stables are being cleaned AMI
mails as well as men enjoy change of place and
with these their health and comfort are intimately
nected..-Anaer. Ag.

+. FALL SOWING OF FLOWER SEEDS.

There are some ANIMALS which do better when soEn
in the the fall than in spring. Every person at all
observant of flower gardens, mnst have noticed that
certain annual flowers upin Spring from seeds
self-scwn the previous year and these often make
very vigorous plants and bloom month or so earli-
er than those OF the same sort sown in Spring. This
shows that it is agood practice to seeds n
the Fall. OF those which are found to succeed vel
so treated, we note the following :-Adonis Double
Balsam, Larkspur, Candytuft, Clarkia, Eryssimum
Mimuas, Perlla, Forget-me-not, Portulacca, Petu-
MIA, Coreopss Sun-fower, CalIiopsis, Drummondi,
Delphinium ajacis humble, Escheltzia, Nigelia His
panica, DC. These may be sown any time in the lat
terpart of August and to the middle of September

BLACK EYES AND BLUE.
CONTRASTED.

Black eyes most dazzle at ball;
Blue eyes most please at evening fall;
The Black conquest soonest gain;
The Blue conquest mostretain;
The Black bespeaks lively heart,
Whose soft emotions soon depart,
The Blue steadier fame betray,
That burns and lives beyond day.
The Black may features best disclose;
In Blue may feelings all repose.
Then let each reign without control
The Black all MIND-the Blue all SOUL.

scrlbed by correspondent of the Iowa Homestead
The stool can be made of inch boards and has ma

procure piece of board of sufficient size to accom-
modate the mixer, and have in addition room for
the milk pail. This may be put on legs of about
eight inches in height. Then upon this erect anoth
er seat or stool, covering half the space of the bot
tom one, for the mixer to sit, thereby giving him
ehanae in front 10 let tho pail remain firm and
steady, not liable to get kicked over, and by being
up from the ground kept sIye from dirt and mud
