PEACHES WITHOUT STONES
Ansgriculturist has, it is said,
tried with success the following
method of making peaches grow
without stones: "Turn the tops
Of the ends, stick them into the
ground and fasten them SO with
stakes; in a year or two these
tops will take root, and when well
rooted cut off the branches con-
Meeting these reverses and rooted
branches with the tree proper, and
this reversed peach tree will pro-
dnee fine peaches without stone.
The same experiment may be tried
with plums, cherries and currants."

TAxATIoN.-Of the money
wl6ch is collected by taxation for

ninety-nine dollars in every hun

be disfranchised by the adoption
of this constitution. Will the

of supporting the government OF
the State, in all the extravaganza

of that government 7 There is
but one means of escaping this
ruinous condition. It is to vote
