FARMERS COL UlNN.
Z RLyIvAL OF PEACH TREES.

A discovery of no small moment in
the interests of agriculture has been made
by nr George B Wood, and communi-
Gated by him to the American Phlo-
sophica Society, of which he is presi-
dent. Peach trees iu this vicinity, after
producing a few crops, not only cease
bearing but perish themselves in short
time, v hereas their natural life is fifty or
snty years. or more The cause of this
def Give power of growth is believed by
DIR. Wood to be owing to deficiency Of
lotash in the soil, and he assures Us that
If this alkali be supplied to the tree so
that it shall reach the small roots aad be
absorbed the truit-bearing power is re
stored, and the tree itself, if prematurely
persling, is revived. Believing with
INST persons that the cause of the decay
lay in worms at tde root OF the peach
tree, he pu; in operation plan which he
had seen bis father perfIrm more than
fifty years before viz of digging around
ihe ase Of the stem hole four or five
inches deep, scraping away all the
worms that could be found burrowing at
The junction of the steam and root, and
filling the hollow thus made with fresh
wood ashes from the fire, which of course
retained all their potash. This was done
in the autumn Of 1868 and with re
suit in the following spring at which he
himself was astOnished. The trees APP
peared to have been restored to all their
early freshness and vgor; they pat
forth bright green leaves, blossomed CO.
piously, and bore a crop of fruit such
as they bad never borne before, many of
the branches breaking down under the
load Of peaches. DIR Wood, in reflect
ing on these results, and noticing that
several of the peach trees treated had 10
worms. came to the conclusion that we
must look for an explanation to some
other cause, than the destruction of
few worms, and this cause he believes to
be the ashes, the potash of which being
dissolved by the rains. descended along
the roots of the rootlets, and presented
to them the very food for the want Of
which they were dying. Decaying APP
pie trees bearing stinted and ined!b!e
fruit have been revived by a similar pro-
cess, and with the like results. All Dr.
Woods orchards gave promise of an
abundant supply of fruit this season.

IMPORTATION TO SOLDIERS.

To soldiers entitled to quarter sec
ton Of the public lands under the acts
of Congress, and desirous of locating it
and trying their fortunes in the West the
experiences Of a pioneer may be of ad-
vantage A discharged soldier who has
settled in Kansas writes to a Western
paper some details of his experience
which will be of interest to those Of
limited meaus who wish to engage in
farming where land is cheap. He loca
ted homestead of 100 acres in Dickin-
son county, within fourteen miles of the
Kansas Pacific railroads. good land,
he says, as can be found in Kansas or in
Kentucky. His homestead cost him
$3.50; he has TO live on it five years,
and at the expiration of that period, if
he can prove he has not been absent
from it more than six months at one time,
he can get patent for it from the Gov
ernment, and it is then his to dispose OF
as he thinks proper. The only advan-
tage the soldier has over the citizen in
this matter is, that be can take under the
Homestead law 100 acres of lanG within
twenty miles of railroad TO which land
grants have been made, while the citizens
can take only SO acres. But outside Of
railroad limits there is no distinction
Water is found there by digging at an
average depth of forty feet. Timber is
scarce and lumber expensive. Horses
are high, but Indian ponies can be
bought at from $50 to $50 each They
are good for herding for common light
services. Texas cattle can be bought,
one year old, at s. to Sc; two years old
$40 to p; three years old, SIS to $50.
They are generally very poor when they
arrive in the State, but prairie grass is
plenty and they soon improve in condi.
ton; purchasers often double their mon
ev on them in single year. Railroad
lands are selling from So to 81 per acre.
