Potash for Peach Trees.

According to a statement of Mr..
Shepard, at meeting of the Cincinnati
horticultural society, says the Country
Gentleman, potash is cheap and an ex-
cellent manure for peach trees. A bar.
rel, costing him $35, lasted him four
years for an orchard of twenty-five
acres. He dissolved the potash in wa
ter, making it of a strength just sufi-
cient to float potato, and then gave
each tree two quarts of this liquid ev-
cry spring. From two thousand peach
trees treated thus he sold 1. 500 bushels
in 1867, $50 do. in 1868, and last year
G873, we suppose 1900 bushels, and
prospects still good for satisfactory
crops in the future. He claims to have
sold $4,000 worth of peaches in five
years. This would be an average of
$12O per tree for each year; a good
yield certainly. If potash in such
small quantities will produce such an
effect, it must soon come into general

Alsike Glover as a Feed for Bee


During the discussion on the subject
of bee-feeding, at the last meeting of
the n. A. Bee-keeper's Association, the
following facts were elected Mr..
Allen sowed some two years ago; came
up well had a good start !; bloomed
first year bees worked well on it did
not yield honey much after white clover;
it bloomed a little the second time,
about equal to white; it grows taller,
blooms sometime. It will pay for pas
turage alone, Sows mixture now of
timothy, alsike and red clover. This
makes hay which stock like. The
patch where he sowed the alsike first is
still in it, but he thinks the white clo-
yer will eventually take the ground
from 1t. A gentleman from Giles
county, Tennessee, said his experience
was limited. He prepared his ground
two weeks in advance of sowing, which
gave the weeds start but it came up
and bloomed finely first season moved
it, but had scant crop bees stored
honey from it rapidly while it was in
bloom, but do not know its quality.
Mr.. Murray said that it blooms well
with him, but dries up like everything
else there in August. He got fifty
pounds from one colony in three weeks
on the fall pasturage. Mrs. Upper
esteemed it of great value as a honey
plant. Reports we're very different as
to its qualities hay crop. Mr.. Hes
ter said that in his section they had
only May and June honey, and anything
that would lengthen the season would
be valuable. DIR. Hamlin had twenty
five acres it came up well. Next sea-
son white clover came, and the second
year gave fine pasturage. The third
year the white had the ascendency !;
fifth year, plowed it mp. He thought
it better than any other clover for hay
or pasturage. Thinks it would do we'll,
even south, on rich moist land. 1t was
far preferable to red clover in the
south. Mr.. Murray said that it has a
tap-root, which, reaching the sub-soil
makes it valuable in South Carolina and
Georgia. Mrs. Upper said that in Il
linois and Iowa it is being largely sown
in orchards, and it is esteemed valuable,
when turned under as a fertilizer. Alb
ner Pope said Rocky Mountain bee plant
was not as valuable as alsike, though it
did Weld some honey. Mr.. Gilmore
had two pieces of alsike, one OF dry
and the other on moist land. On the
latter it grew finely; stock left all
other pasturage to eat it as long rs there
was root, even, remaining considered
it preferable for hay to all others

with its small end toward the tips of
the thumb and finger hold the egg
close to gaslight or the flame of a

turning it round on its axis with the

be clear and the yelk not touching the

Where Does 1t Come Front

Pints and quarts of filthy catarrhal dis
charges. Where does it all come from? The
mucous membrane, lining the chambers Of the
nose, and its little glands, are diseased, SO
that they draw from the blood its liquid, and
exposure to the air changes it into corruption.
This ife-liquid was to build up the system but
it is extracted and the system is weakened by
the loss. To cure, gain flesh and strength by
using DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which also acts directly upon these glands,
correcting them, applying DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy with DR.. Pierces Nasal Douche, the
only method of reaching the upper cavities
where the discharge accumulates and comes
from.

Grapes and Their Culture.

It is surprising that SO many families
in the country are willing to live year
after year without cultivating a single
grapevine about their dwellings,. They
are compelled to purchase this delicious
fruit for the table or not taste it during
the ason. There is a common inl-
preston that to cultivate grapes per-
fectIy a vast amount of knowledge and
taste is required. TO many the simple
trim ming of vine Is a mystery. This
is an erroneous view, and ought not to
prevail. Any person of common intel
iigence can learn in an hour how to
trim and nourish vines ; and If instruc-
ton can not be obtained from some ex-
perienced cultivator, there are books
filled with cuts and illustrations which
make everything plain. Three vines of
as many varieties, planted in some sun
nv nook, or by the side of some build
ing so as to obtain shelter, will, if pro-
perly cared for, furnish many a bns1 ell
of delicious grapes every year. Select
a Concord, Ives Seeding and Herbe-
mont. Make the ground mellow and
rich by the use of spade, and by en-
ploying old manure, finely ground
bones and ashes, and set out the plants.
In three years the rich clusters Will ap-
pear, and in four years the product Will
be abundant. It is we'll to have vines
planted so that the waste liquors from
the dwellings can be used in fertiliza-
tion. If there is any food the wire es-
pecially loves, it is the soapy liquors
which accumulate on washing days in
families. Vines drenched every week
with these liquids will flourish astonish-
ingly, and extend themselves so as to
cover large buildings, every branch
bearing fruit. We say to our readers :
Plant vines.-Scie7lce Of Health.

mented by one of the most elegant and
tasteful structures in the country.
