Planting Peach Stones.

The editor of The Plantation (Ga.) says
"We never want peach stone to get
thoroughly dry when we intend to plant
it. I. Of the thousands upon thousands of
such which we have planted we have
hardly ever had one to sprout. Plant the
seed, or bury it in moist earth, as soon as
you eat the peach. Keep the earth wet if
you plant the seed in boxes We never
knew any harm result to the seed from
moisture, unless you mass them in such
quantities that they will heat. Take up
the stones in March (for this latitude) and
plant, when they will be sure to germi
nate as corn or any, sound grain. 8 If the
variety of peach producing the seed has
the habit of reproducing itself, plant
where you wish your tree to stand. By
this you will save the year in the fruiting
OF your tree which transplanting will be
sure to lose you. Some varieties are sure
tO-reproduce themselves from seed. The
English, or Heath, is apt to do it, the
Pace or Columbia is sure to do so. and
that superb fruit the Pine Apple Peach
will never disappoint the grower who
plants the seed. But as general thing,
it is not safelor remunerating to depend
on the seed planted if we wish to secure
valuable varieties of the peach. a9r

almost afraid of the money itself, we
started for the railway station, glad to be

There was little crowding during the

When we met again the valise was gone.
Once more there arose the question,

The Cost Of Unruly Animals.

In pcrsuading farmers to keep quiet an
finals only, we do not propose To make es-
Inmates of the amount Of wheat, corn, or
oats, which they tread down and destroy
when they break into cultivated fields, nor
the time In driving them out when the
owner or his men happen TO be particular
ly busy, nor the lessons In bad morals
which such marauders teach To all the other
animals on the farm, nor the wear and tear
from ycxation to which the mind of the
placid owner IL ever liable. These sources
Of serious damage are well known, and are
unfortunately too familiar by experience to
many farmers.
Omitting al the present moment all these
considerations, we wish 10 invite attention
for moment To another source Of cost and
disadvantage which such animals occasion,
and which may be reduced to figures--a
mode Of estimate which we always like TO
resort 10 where practicable This il the ne
cesssity and cost Of high fences.
The older members Of our community
will remember well the times when every
thing that grew from the soil had to be
protected by high and strong barriers
Heavy rail fences, Mt least six feet high
we have often seen them as high as seven
and well "stakcd and ridered, would
scarcely restrain the rampant steers and
bulls, or the yaulting colts which had the
range Of the fields The cattle consisted
largely ofthe long legged and swift breeds.
These have been greatly improved; better
farming has given better feed, and they
have less induccment to leave their COM
Portable enclosures We can pcrceiyc
decided change in the last thirty years in
the height to which it Ii deemed necessary
to build fences. At the same time. there
are fewer inroads made by animals into
cultivated crops
The figuring which VIC make, Is to show
the cost which q single unruly beast may
make TO its owner, to say nothing Of the
neighbors. -Four feet Is sufficient height

for any orderly and well-fed animals; but
We occasionally see strong board fences
built five and . half to six feet high, a .
protection against fence-leapers. What u
the additional COST Suppose the pasture
contains but ten acres, the least circumfer-
ence Of which must be 100 rods, or half =
mile. The $40 posts must be nearly double
in size the addition of boards will be at
least 1000 feet. The post holes must be
dug six inches deeper. The additional cost

Nearly one hundred dollars special expen-
diturc to keep an unruly animal in a ten
acre enclosure, without estimating the
other expenses incident to its peculiar
habits. But this is only a small part for
every farmer who 'opts a rotation,
changes his pasture fields, and before the
work is ended the cost may run ap to four
or five hundred dollars.
The best economy for every owner Of
such cattle, is to dispose Of them at once
to the drover, or to convert them into beef
Keep only those that are quiet and gentle,
and a great deal of annoyance will be oh
waited. If horses or colts are not disposed
to remain in the fields where they are put,
they should invariably be kept in stables.

" The Paper Age"

WE sometimes hear this age called tho
iron age; but recent advances in the appli-
cation of paper to the arts would require q
later and more significant cognomen. The
paper age we are getting to be, in moro
senses than one. Papercollar manufacture
has developed into very large and impor-
tant industry. We confess to certain pref
udices in favor of the linen collar, al
though, no doubt, the most fastidi0us might
be glad OF paper substitute, If on CAM
paign, or on long voyage at sea. The
patent reversible paper collar" however,
wonld seem to imply the practice, on the
part OF some people, of turning the dirty
side of their make believe linen inward
habit too disgusting to mention. The jap
anesc custom of using paper for handker-
chiefs has much to defend it in fact, the
Japanese visitors, who were here few
years ago, expressed very plainly their dis
gust at our habit of carrying about in our
pockets the mucous discharges from our
nostrils They always blew their noses in
q small square of paper, which was then
cast into some receptacle.

Checking the Precipitation.

The danger of risking the stoppage Of
the pores by sudden change Of temperature
is terribly illustrated every day. A case
which fell under our personal observation
we remember with very painful feelings.
A leading New York gentleman, eXcrting
himself on vessel somewhat unusually,
found himself, nj the end of nm hour and q
half, pretty well exhausted, and perspiring
freely. He sat down 10 rest. The cool
wind from the sea was delightful, and, en-
gazing I'm conversation, time passed faster
than he was aware Of In. attempting to
rise, he found he was unable To do so with
out assistance. He was taken home and
put to bed, where he remained for two
years and for long time afterward could
only hobble about with the aid of y crutch.
Less exposures than this have, in constitu-
tons not so vigorous, resulted in infiani-

explain to their children at the ags
of three or four years, the danger
which attends cooling off too quickly after

The Ladies at Saratoga

| There ID one lady here at the Congress-
ID all hotel, well known IL bbingdon square,
who registered fearful vow before she cam.
never to appear twice during the season in

style. FRncy to yourselt the dreadful re-
sponsi3iiity she has incurred. She will 20

ton, broken down completely by the fearful
STRAIN upon her nervous system, and the
lncalculsbie amount of work she has per
formed. She allows herself but two hours
nap 10 the forenoon, during which time her
maids sleep standing, and then she is up
and at 1t again. The amount O: mental
concentration, decision, and ingenuity which
this woman employs in walking the piazzas
IN trail and playing the role ofthe Duchess
of Hamilton, and otherwise advertising
herself as belle would sufice,if well direct
ed, to settle the woman question. Upon my
word | believe few more such magnificent
devotees would settle il speedily without
intending 1t. The entire male world would
go into ecstasies over them and swear
eternal ce ibacy. The cost of dress is some
thing that is never oomputed-the laundry
bills alone are enough 10 dep0pulate the
globe. Happily these womsnly bazsars are
not numerous. The best dressed women
here this season are the married ladies.
They add independence to sumptuousness.
They have apparently registered no VOWS to
be bellies till their back teeth fall out, and
they are very generally making Saratoga
subservient to their own comfort while they |
exact tribute by their personal beauty. |
There Is one from Wisconsin with three |
lovely daughters, all patterns OF herself |
They 60 to the high Rock spring every |
morning before breakfast, like Roman
procession, and charge themselves with !
carbonic acid, and come back with ii spark
ling in their eyes snd flowing out of their
mouth in musical mrth, and they wear linen /
dresses and cambria bonnets, and disregard |
all the formulas of fashion and instead of
receiving any benefit from Saratoga life,
are actually comforting benefit upon it,
because they are springs themselves, one of
them running carbonate mammaial balm,
and the other champagne, into which they
seem to convert, by some mysterious process
of assimilation, not only the waters. but the
very air they breathe. Eor an exhilrating
sipple, commend me TO the society OF these
Wisconsin Romans, who march through the
assernblage al Saratoga,
exscting tribute from every class, never
soiling their linen skirts, and never becom,
ing lost in them.
