WILD PEAcHEs.--the editor of the
Waiapai Enterprise, published at Mineral
Park, Ari., has been presented with box
of wild peaches, and says of them =
"These peaches, though wild, are equal in
flavor to any we have ever eaten, and some
of them measured as much as nine inches
in circumference. The trees upon which
they grow were discovered some twelve OF
thirteen years ago by the first whites in
this section of the country, and at the time
Of the discovery the main tree looked to
be as old as it does to-day. The fruit, in
appearance, resembles the finest Jersey
peaches.

The WIRE oRM.-Being troubled
with the little pests one year, was adj
yised to soak my seed corn in solution
of copperas and saltpeter, using one-fourth
of pound each to bushel Of ears of
common eight-rowed corn. The result
was that my seed all grew, and | lost none
BY the wire-worms, and never saw corn
have so dark and vigorous color before.
Since then always soak my seed twelve
hours after being shelled. I do not know
as it would affect the cut-worm, but have
never been troubled with them since 1
used the solution of copperas and saltpe-
ter. Neither was I ever troubled with
them when | ploughed my corn in the
fall, which would invariably do on old
sod. Some farmers exterminate them by
hunting them out in the hill and killing
them by hand, but this is slow and tedious
work, and is liable to be sighted by hired
,help.-C Country Gentleman.

How FAR WILL BEES GO FOR HON.
Ey ?-The above question, We believe, has
never been satisfactorily answered. A
bee-keeper once tried the old experiment
of busting his bees with -four as they left
the hive, then road to heath seven miles
away, where he discovered his white bees
busily engaged in collecting honey. This
experiment, however, cannot be relied on,
for the simple reason that pollen, with
which bees are frequently completely COW
cred, bears close resemblance to -four,
and might readily be taken for it when
the bees are on the wing. 1t is our belief
that they seldom venture more than three
miles from home, for we have known them
to be in starving condition when an
other apiary only four miles away was
Aourishing and gathering stores rapidly
1t has in recent years been proved BY
Italian hybrids that queens have met with
drones which were known to be at least
three miles away, but this win scarcely
apply to the worker bees fitting about
from flower to flower they must become
weary before they are four or even three
miles from home.-Rural Neic Yorker.

PUMPKINS FOR Cows.-From peck
of seed dropped and covered in che gaps
of corn field, dairy of nine cows has
been kept up to summer milking and the
quality of the butter is super-excellent,
and six heifer calves raised from the above
are as fat as moles. The cows are fatter,
too, than majority of the cattle slaugh-
tered. These cows have been making
about six pounds of butter per week, be-
sides supplying new milk and cream for
gentleman's house with sixteen inmates.
The pumpkins are chopped up in the
managers with spade, morning noon and
night, about a half bushel each time
when cut into pieces. They eat while
being MIXED, morning and night, and
they. come to the yard and go into the
stable for half an hour at noon. Beets,
carrots, and some other roots and small
ears of corn will follow, so as to keep up
the milk during the winter-Cor. Of

The Germantown Telegraph says -
Hen manure, where only small quantity
is gathered, is better adapted to the grow
ing Of onions than anything we have ever
tried. Although a very powerful ma
nure, we have dosed our onion beds liber-
ally, and mover saw any but the best re-
suits When large quantities are saved,
it should be made fine, mixed with two or
three times its bulk Of gypsum, aud applied
to the corn hills at planting time.

PRICE OF JERSEY BUTTER. Mr.. g. S.
Sargent, living in Brookline, Mass, mar
kets his butter made from Jersey cows in
