SUCCESSFUL PEAR CULTuRE.-L. 4 A
B. RathbOne, of 0akfield, Genesee county
New York, have furnished for this De
partmsnt the following facts relative t.
their experiment in cultivating pears =
In the spring of 1864 they set out 1900
dwarf pear-trees, 5000 Duchess, 500 L.
Bonnie de Jersey, 400 Beurre de Anjou,
and 100 Vicar Of Wakefield. The trees
are 10 feet apart, each way, occupying 10
acres. The soil is "a gavelly loan, mixed
with sand, with clay subsoil." For Eve
years the trees we're severely pruned. The
orchard has received medium cultivation,
but no fertilizer, except that in June, 1873,
il was dressed with about 80 bushels per
acre of slaked lime and unleaehed wood
ashes. Delivered in barrels at Batavia,
and beginning with 1868, the several
amounts received for annual sales for six
successive years were as follows, in the order
named 800, $3.50, s1l0, 81, 1898, g..
$50, s5,530--total, s9,558. II win be
noticed that in the last-named year, 1873,
The gross sales reached 1858 per acre.

siding in different parts of tia Gulf Coast,
IN regard to the eligibility Of that section
as Geld for northern immigration, re-
eeived an Official reply from Chronicle
Council No. Z, Order Of Progressive Farm
ers, Mobile county, Alabama, to the follow
ing effect;
The salubri.y Of the Gulf Coast, east Of
Louisiana, is fully equal to that Of any sec
ton Of the Union. Miasmatie diseases
prevail during certain seasons on the riv-
er-bOttoms, but Of q less malignant type
than i found in similar localities Of the
North. The yellow fever is expected in
the cities about every Eve years, but il
never troubles the rural districts. The
whole region is almost totally exempt from
Asiatie cholera.
The climate Of the South is destitute Of
the extremes of both heat and cold found
in the North. A summer temperature of
500 +. Is unusual, while the Gulf breezes
render the air very delightful.
Most Of the crops grown in the North
can be successfully grown on the coast,
with great variety of tropical and semi
tropical products, giving scope for an ex-
eeediDgly varied culture. An acre of corn
there represents greater money value
than at the North.
Markets are fair and constantly improv-
ing. An increased production would call
forth increased facilities for transportation.
The early spring products are shipped
North at period when they find no con-
petition.
Southern pine lands are worth more pei
acre then the best uplands of the North.
west. In the South an immense area Of
wild lands Of the best quality, belonging to
the Government, are open to homestead
settlers. For improved lands "a per acre
is high average price. The peculiar
advantage Of southern products enables
the judiciOus cultivator to realize much
larger value per acre than at the North.
The surface Of the country is general.
ly high, but rolling aud well watered,
Abundance Of water-power is found in

general impression, is very small
Educational facilities are very good in
the cities, and becoming more extended in
the country. Church privileges are very
good.
People from the North who come to
engage in regular business and to identify
themselves with the country viii be kindly
received

The day is not far distant when crop
Of turnips on every farm, when live stock
are wintered, win be deemed indispensa-
bic. The number Of farmers who cultivate
roots for this purpose, and find il pro6ta
Bile, IS increasing every year. Animals
thrive better. present better appearance,
and are healthier if fed upon mixed
diet in winter time; and for this purpose,
turnips fed with hay or grain, are especially
adapted OF course, cattle win live and
thrive upon dry hay and grain, but they
always turn greedily to an occasional feed
oftnrnips, aud are greatly benefited there
BY One hundred and seventy-6ye bush
els Of turnips are about equal in nutriment
to a ton Of clover hay, and on an acre Of
ground producing two tons Of hay, may be
grown seven or eight hundred bushels Of
turnips, equal to four tons Of hay. Thus
we can see that more money can be OBJ
tanned from an acre Of turnips, than Of
hay. An acre has to be highly MANFRED
TO produce seventy bushels Of shelled corn,
and three tons Of stalks, worth perhaps
eighty dollars, and seventy bushels Of
corn, it is true, win produce more flesh
than four times the same weight Of roots
but the same acre with tride more labor
may be made to produce one hundred and
fifty dollars worth of turnips. Turnips
serve as substitute for many crops, and
the wide-awake farmer, in dry season
like this, may make up deficiency in hay |
or grain BY their aid And It is worthy
Of notice, that dry summers which prove
disastrous to most crops, are frequently
followed by wet autumns, which are especi-
ally favorable to turnips; hence It is
necessary to make the most Of the turnip
crop the present season. From the mid
die to the end Of July, is the time usually
chosen for sowing tnrnips, but the seed
may be sown any time in August, and
even as late as the first of September, and
good results be obtained. For broadcast
sowing in eornfslds and potato patches,
there is no better variety than the strap
leaf Half pound Of seed TO the acre is
sufficient if sown broadcast, in drill two
pounds viii be required. Sow after the
last time Of cultivating the corn and cover
with light onc-hose harrow. A very
good method Of covering the seed, is to
fasten two common grain rakes side BY
'ide, and drug them between the rows Of
corn. This win be found q cover the
'ssd sufficiently. They may be grown at
: cost Of FIVE cents per bushel, and at this
are cheap for all kinds Of stock, pigs,
sheep, horses and cattle.

NEW PKAcH.-Our correspondent in
Jasper county, Missouri, sends US an ac-
count Of new peach, which the Horticul-
tural Society in that county has named
"Amsden's june" Il Is seeding, plant
ed in 1858 by Mr. L. C. Amsdeu. The
tree first fruited in 1872, bearing nine
peaches, (which began TO ripen the last of
june" and the last specimen of which
was "the perfection of ripeness" on the 18th
Of July. The original tree, as well as
thirty or forty budded from it, fruited
again this season. II Is claimed that il Is
hardy, productive, and entirely free from
the "eurled leaf" which has been very
destructive to the peach-crop in that
locality; that the fruit is very juicy,
melting, and well-favorsd, and that il is
fully four weeks earlier than Hale's Early.

Thinning Corn to a Stand.

We desire to call the attention of our farmers to the subject of thinning out corn properly. Hun dreds of thousands of dollars are lost annually by the neglect of this important matter. It should be borne in mind that an acre of land is only capable of producing a certain amount of corn, altho' we cannot know exactly what that amount may be. But we do know that if we crowd sufficient ly there will be no ears at all, therefore if the object is to raise grain instead of forage it must be well thinned, and experience has proven that thinning to one stalk is the best plan.
 Everybody admits that three or four stalks, or even two on poor thin land, will not produce much corn; but still, somehow about half our farmers leave too many stalks in the hill or drills, partic ularly in the drill, and somehow a drouth occurs in every nine years out of ten, and somehow we fail about that often to make full crops.
 If you wish to bid defiance to drouth and famine thin out your corn, so that the roots can wan der far and wide in search of food and moisture. Don't imagine yourself in Illinois or New York where they leave four in the hill, but go straight and pull up all useless plants and you will have "old corn to sell and keep"
 Don't admit the right, and still the wrong pursue" T.

Questions for Grange Discus
 sion.

First-Some dogs are useful and necessary.
 Second-Others are dangerous and destructive in their habits.
 Third-Dogs are not property, and consequently cannot be tax ed.
 Fourth-Dogs being useful and necessary and also dangerous and destructive animals, they should be licensed.
 Fif.h-Useful dogs are owned by those who could be forced to pay the license.
 Sixth-Dangerous and destruc- tive dogs are in the main owned by persons who can not be made to pay license except, by criminal process.
 Seventh-Persons on whose premises an unlicensed dog is found should by law be fined and imprisoned.
 Eight-The burdens of the tax payers are sufficiently onerousi therefore, all who pay the license should be credited on their regu- lar tax bill with the amount thus paid.
 Ninth-The interests of society would be subseryed by requiring that all persons confined in jaiI for criminal ohenses shall labor m the public roads, instead or being supported in idleness al the expense of honest taxpayers.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-06-17
A Varied Agriculture.

Every years experience more completely demonstrates the wis dom of a varied agriculture. The farmer who depends manly upon one crop, although that may be the most important one grown, will find every few years, that the supply of that product will exceed the demand so much that it will fall in price below the cost of pro- duction and sale. We use the lat ter term considerably, because we are aware that the producer pays large commission for the sale of his products. All the diff ference between the price re- ceived by the farmer and that paid by the consumer, after de ducting the legitimate cost of handling, storing and transporta- tion, may be set down as cost of selling,
 Take the important product wheat. We think that a large majority of farmers, East as well as West, will agree with us that the price this year is too low to pay cost of production. It may be said that the price of wheat is exceptionally low this year because the yield is good all over the world. Yes, that is true; the breadth of wheat sown every year, is so great that q good crop universally or generally will so reduce the price that a large share of the growers must pro duce at loss.
 Undoubtedly it is better for the world that so great breadth should be sown in bread stuffs, that small yield per acre shall not result Tn scarcety, and cause suffering or starvation, but the in stinct of self-preservation should induce farmers to so economise in farming that the failure ol over production of any leading crop shall not result disastrously ] to their interests.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-06-17
What shall be Taught in the
 Grange.

Morality, Science, Honesty, Temperance, Religion, Politics? Yes, all these; but, first scientific agriculture and then the rest; not partizan politics, not sectarian re- lgion, but that which teach cs us to do unto others as we would that others should do unto us,' and to "feel for another's woes"
 We would teach political econo- my so every voter would know how to cast his ballot intelligent lv and in favor of such measures as will not crush the farmer, me chanic or laboring man. When farmers teach their children all of these and many other things; when the farming community is taught to respect itself, 1t will compel the res pect of tn. world at large. But there is one other very i'm portant lesson to be studied. We must not only MAKE money but we must SAVE it. We should strive every one of us to lay up something. Nothing makes . man or woman feel so indepen- dent as a pocket full of money. Get out of debt as quickly as pos sible and keep out. How humili- ating it is to see the farmer in a supplicating tone asking the mer- chant for credit,-the merchant trying to evade flat refusal and finally telling him he can have a few goods by mortgaging his crop and horses. The farmer who always has the ready cash in his pocket is the truly independent man. T.
