There is no greater economy than to
have well cultivated garden during
the summer months. Vegetables
should make up ut least half of our
diet, and with little extra trouble
and expense, there is no person how
ever poor but may be supplied with
an abundance Of vegetables for his
home use. Besides the pleasure it af-
fords, fruits and vegetables are great
promoters of healthfulness.
A writer for one of our best agricul-
tural exchanges says: "a daily portion
Of fresh fruit, with other food, con-
tributes to health, and often prevents
formidable disease. We have known
number of instances where the dis
eases Of malaral regions have been
entirely excluded from families by
regular provision Of fresh fruit, while
It's absence in other families had re-
suited in long continued sickness In
one case family moving into a newly
settled region took with them enough
dried. fruit for daily use through the
season. All the members continued
in health. The next year, their sup
ply being gone, several were taken
down with intermittent fevers. The
loss of time in sickness is serious
the fatigue Of waiting Oh the
sick is undesirable; costly doctors
bills cut sharply into the farmers rev.
cnue.
"In conclusion, then, for the sake Of
saving expense, preserving the health /
If the family and providing a full .
share of the comforts and luxuries Of !
the table, prepare and plant a garden
that may be cultivated with a horse
NJ often as once week the season
through, and let the small needed care
be the first and not the last thing on
the list Of farm operations.

Organization Among the Vegetable
and Fruit Growers.

AS some one suggested at the last
meeting there should be more cooper
alton among those engaged in the
business of fruit and vegetable grow
ing, Associations have already been
established ut HaZlehurst, Terry,
Crystal Springs; and we also learn an
organization is to be formed at Jack
son, but they should extend all up and
down the line of the railroad where
the people are interested in the bust
ness. BY this means they can form
better idea of what is being done;
the acreage in vegetables and fruits
can be more accurate y found out and
based on such facts, the railroad au-
thorities can form more correct csti-
mate of the amount Of transportation
needed. The President Of each Asso-
citation can find out from each mem
Der the amount of fruits and Vegeta-
bles to be shipped on certain day,
and the information can be telegraph
ed to the President of the District
Association, who will have time to
procure the necessary transportation
The railroad promises torun through
an extra train, provided eight cars can
be loaded with fruits and vegetables.
but how can this be ascertained until
it is too late, unless some system is
adopted to find out.
Nothing can be accomplished etfec-
tually unless through Il thorough sys-
tenn of organization. 1t is the great
moving lever, and gives strength and
to the most disordered
and shattered ranks. We hope that
all those places where Fruit Growers
Associations have not been establish
ed, that those interested in the bust
ness will take measures to see that
they are Immediately organized. BY
this means we can push forward the
industry more Systematically.
The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1880-02-07

the remedles for the dlseasee We dom
think any successful remedy has yet
been found out. The only remedy
therefore, Is prevention; and In this
case prevention Is worth more than
II pound of cure" Both salt and
spirits turpontine have been prescrib-
Ell, but IL is not certain that they have
ever accomplished any lasting results.
If your sheep have rot, no doubt
you have allowed them to run in low
swampy places where the ground is
damp. If so, they should be changed
to high, dry pastures, and divkied into
separate lots. Give them plenty of
salt--sheep require II great deal of salt.
Some years ago, very fine ilocks of
sheep were brought from the high and
dry pastures of Spain, into the marshy
and luXuriant pastures of Eng and,
and they were soon attacked by rot,
which destroyed numbers of them.
by change of pastures, the disease
was soon arrested, and the sheep be-
came healthy and free from disease.
Try change of location, and report
to me.

what Kind of Peas TO plant and How
10 Cultivate Them N


In former communication ] prom
ised to mention the best Kinds Of peas
to plant, and how to cultivate them.
The best early variety is Landreth's
Extra Early. There is but one objec-
ton raised to it, that is, it has to be
stuck. In our neighborhood it has
given the best results. Landreth says
it grows from u to 2 feet high. In
our climate it grows much taller /;
usually the height will be in proper
ton to the strength of the soil. Nc
Leans Little Gem is another variety
which does well with us. 1t does not
have to be stuck, hence some prefer it
to other varieties which do, for the
reason it saves that expense. There is
anotherdwar variety, which is highly
recommended, TIVE Premium Gem.
This we have never tried, but will the
present year. In order to be success
full in raising large crop, the soil
should be made very rich. On the
land / am planting the present year,
l have put ten tons Of horselot manure
and fifty bushels of cotton seed to the
acre. This, to some may seem II large
amount, but there is this considera-
tion-we hope II make from $3.50 to
$500 per acre. The land should
be thoroughly plowed and pull
verified before planting. TO in
sure good stand, the land should
be in proper condition, and the peas
covered with the scraping of the COW
lot. Some plant in double rows, we
have found that one row yields nearly
as much as the two; in this way seed
is saved, an item Of no little import
anc,, as the peas cost from eight to
ten dollars per bushel. They should
be dropped about an inch apart, and
one in place. When they are up
two or three inches high, the soil
should be stirred around them. When
as high as one foot, the soil must, or
should not be broken up deep around
the peas. The soil must be in good
condition, not wet, when they are
worked. The grass had better grow
than to work them in this condition.
The reason of this is evident, the crop
is made in very short time, and if
the peas are ever injured while grow
ing, not as other crops, they will never
overcome it in time to make Il good
crop. AS to the quantity per acre, it
takes from one and half to two bush
els. The time to plant is from the
last days of January to middle of
February. If they are planted too
early, and freeze should catch them
while in bloom, they never rally from
it, hence the crop is much shortened
by it. j. w. Mcneil.
