PEACH ORCHARDS.

A model peach orchard in the fruit
growing region of A nerica is feast for
the eyes. A walk through one of them,
with the words of the owner, Help
yourself" ringing in the ears, is even
more satisfactory and pleasant. The
recent drouth, which lasted for so many
weeks, has curtailed much of the beau.
ty of the peach orchard by causing a
scarcity of fruit. Tho principal fruit
growing region on the Atlantic coast is
called the Peninsula, and comprises the
three counties OF Delaware and the cas-
tern counties of Maryland. 1t is stated
on the best authority that there will be
only third of the usual crop OF peaches,
the principal portion Of which will be
crates. There are no peaches in New
Jersey except o few around Morristown.
The best peach orchards in New Jersey
are planted in corn until the trees begin
to bear, after which the ground is plow-
ed and narrowed without the planting
of any crop.
Bone dust is generally used, though
wany prefer manure. When cultiya-
ton is not attended to, the yield of
fruit is unsatisfactory and the business
improbable. Bu, this year the most
assiduous care could not have availed in
the absence of rain. A new variety of
this fruit appeared last year, and was
the first in tn, field this season. 1t is
called Goslings Early, and is raised on
the east shore of Maryland. 1t is not
ed for its frraness, color, and fine taste.
Hale's Early followed, and is now in
market. The Early York, comes next.
Troth's Early is also in market. Old
Nixon, late rare ripe, late Crawford,
Princes rare ripe, Smock, Morris
White and Beers Smock appeared in
rapid succession. The last species
mentioned is fully lipened in October.
The Delaware crop will be larger than
that of New Jersey, though it is short.
The business in Delaware is conducted
more scientifically than in New Jersey,
and the orchards show evidence of
thrift and care. The Delaware fruit
raisers cultivate, in additic N to the abo,e
varieties, The Susqnehanna, Tillitson,
and Serrate, through the latter is not
much liked. The crop was ten days
later this year, and the first fruit was of
poor quality. The miserable specimens
displayed in the various markets were,
however, readily sold. The fruit now
coming in is slightly better, but the
p ices are high. Although lovers oil
the fruit will be disappointed in the
small crop, their loss cannot equal that
Of the fruit raisers. wa lie't.'s-
1t is not an uncommon sight to see,
about Morristown, thousands of trees

while in the valley beneath the trees are
stripped. One man is spoken of who
has fifty thousand trees which will not
bear fifty baskets, and scores of similar
cases could be mentioned. The prin-
cipal crop will be in crates. and very
few baskets will be shipped. One Of
the causes of this scarcity is the fact
that the peach trees g the Peninsula
oyerbore last year. The apple crop of
the East is also small. --[Tribune. ia

How TO KEEP APcLEs-The way
the most of farmers save their Winter
apples is to hoe them up like potatoes,
or pile them up in a cave Or cellar.
By this method you not only lose
much valuable time, but lose very
mary apples, and what you do keep
over Winter are in bad condition
Apples may be kept in barrels that
sre quite open, but the best and
cheapest way is to keep them in crates
or boxes made In the following man
ner: The ends or head pieces should
be ten to twelve inches wide, by eigh-
teen long; they can be sawed or split;
nail your boards on the bottom and
sides, leaving places for ventilation.-
Have your boards all the same length ;
about three feet. Put the apples in
the boxes, without bruisiug, and lay the
boxes on each otherin your apple-house.
Two men will handle the boxes with
ease. You can look your apples oyer
in these boxes at any time with but
little labor. When you are ready to
ship, just nail board over the top
and you are ready: In this way you
get your apples in market in good con-
dition and handle them but once
Keep your house as cold as possible, at
all times, without freezing.

USE OF RAw-HIDE.-The skin of an
animal whether COW, calf, colt or horse
that dies on the farm, is worth more
at home than it is at the tanner S.
Cut it into narrow strips, and slave
off the hair with sharp knife before
the kitchen fire or in your workshop,
on stormy days or evenings. You make
them soft by rubbing. A raw-hide
halter strap an inch wide will hold a
horse better and last longer than an
inch rope. 1t is stronger than hoop
iron and more durable, and may be
used to hoop dry casks and boxes, and
for hinges. Try it on broken thill,
or any woodwork that has been split;
put it Oh wet and nail fast. This. skin
makes the best bag-stringsin the world.
A raw-hide rope is good substitute
for 3 chain. It is Yaluable.to mend
a broken link. in q trace-chain. For
it is best to use it in its natural state.
For other purposes it may be dressed
soft.

To CURE MEAT.-To one gallon of
water, take one and one-half pounds
Of salt, one-half pound of sugar, one
half ounce Of satpeter, one-half ounce
Of. potash. In this ratio the pickle
can DC increased to any quantity desired.
esthese be boiled together until all
the dirt from the sugar rises to the
top and is skinned Of: Then throw
it into a tub to cool, and when cold
pour it over beef or pork, to remain
the usual time say four or FIVE weeks.
The meat must be we'll covered with
pickle, and should not be put down
for at least two days after killing, du-
ring which time it should be slightly
sprinkled with powdered sal.peter,
which removes all the surface blood,
etc, leaving the meet fresh and clean.
Some omit boiling the pickle, and find
it TO answer well, though the operation
ofboiling purifes the pickle, by throw
ing off the dirt always to be found III
salt and sugar. If this recipe is pro-
perry tried, it will never be abandoned.
There is none that surpasses it, if SO
good.

a PRICELESS RECEIPT FOR
FARMERS.

Every farmer who has to fence his
land knows too well how quickly po,
tatoes planted in the earth become
rotten, especially in a damp spot. Oi
al of them We welcome the following
process to prevent rottenness, a process
as wonderful in its effects as it is SIM
pac and almost costless. It is taken
from "Le Bien Public" Of Dion,
France.
Take liuseed oil, boil it and mix it
with charcoal dust until the mixture
has the consistency of an ordinary
paint. Give the posts single coat OF
the mixture Of paint before planting
them, none, though living the age OF
patriarchs of old, will live long enough
to sec the same posts rotten.
"Some years ago I discovered the
way of rendering wood more durable
in earth than iron ITSELF" says
the author of the communication,
"bus it seemed to me so simple, and so
inexpensive, that I did not think it
worth while to make much ado aud
fuss about it. Posts Of soft wood thus
prepared were removed after remain.
ing seven years in earth, and were
found as sound as when they we're
planted. The only precaution to
take is to use only we'll dried posts
before covering them with the char
coal paste"
The above receipt is certainly cheap,
and seems to be well worth the trial.

eggs to the amount Of 800, and from
September 20 to January II, she got
ready for market $50 pairs of chickens,
which she sold for $3.50. She thinks
the Dominique much the best fol

young. She has some hens of the
Partridge-Cochin breed which weigh
