crops must be practiced. Stock
must also be raised by the cotton
planters, for the manure, if nothing
else; but there is no need of putting
this in, for stock can always be made
more or less profitable, aside from
profits arising out of the manure.
Then deep, thorough and careful till
age must succeed shallow and SLOW
e1ly culture now too generally IN
vogue. When these conditions are
fulfilled we will become independents
as regards our food crops, and the
production of cotton will rapidly In
crease from year to year.
To treat land so as to obtain the
greatest yield OF crops would require
a very considerable outlay OF capital,
but Mr.. Gift, insists that our lands
may be brought up to the paying
level by judlcious rotation OF crops,
and by saving and utilizing the vast
quantities of manure which now go
utterly to waste.

description of the process Of making
it will be entertaining. Any white
soft wood may be used. The bark
is taken off, the knots and decayed
places cut out. 1t is then put into a
large caldron and boiled, which ex-

put into large stone grinder with
water pouring on it all the time.
The grindstone wears off the fibers
until they are finer than sawdust,

The water is drained off by means of
fine sieve, leaving the pulp, which

wood. 1t is white, and requires no
bleaching, but is ready to be mixed

proper constituents to make it int o

washed and bleached with chloride

pulp is made is purely mechanical.

ing market price.
Visiting the different orchards in
the months ofDecember and January,
we were not able to obtain a fair
test of the quality of the many varie-
ties on various stocks. In most in
stances we could not detect any
difference in flavor between orange
on lemon or lime and on its own
root, and Mr.. Chapman assures us
that many gentlemen had eaten his
Seeding oranges and those on Line
without being able to determine by
the flavor on what stock they were
grown. Mr.. Chapman is very in
telligent observer, having had be,
sides considerable practical expert
ence, and he informs us that within
the scope of his observation the
orange on lime and on lemon are
equal in flavor to any other; though
there are modifying circumstances
when they are Lot-as tor instance,
when the tree or branch bearing
fruit is diseased or sickly, or in soil
or situation unsuited to the stock.
Again, lemon stock when given the
same amount of water that the
orange receives to supply its natural
wants, gets an excess OF water, re-
tarding ripening of fruit, with conse-
quent acidity, at a lime when the
orange on its own roots is fully ma
tured. Still again, it is popularity
OF young trees to sprout, produce
exceptionally large fruit or monstro-
sites; this being particularly notice
able on young bud set in an older,
vigorous root.
The specimens shown by w. s..
Chapman at the Citrus fair of 1879
were on lime instead of China lemon,
as many suppose. They were un-
tavorably criticised by some who did
not understand the conditions OF
their growth, or that they were en-
tered more as curiosities than as a
fair average sample of variety.
The specimens were grown on eight
year-old lime roots, the first crop
from buds that blossomed at nine
months and matured fruit at nineteen

With the aad0dl mark, caused by
fecundahon OF the flower by Navel
pollen. AS far as we know, the in
fuence of the pollen only affects the
seed and the following generation,
while in the cases cited the influence
extends to the pericarp.
THE POI Mt IN EARLY FRUIT NG.
Mr.. Chapman called our attention
to matter of Importance in connec-
ton to budding on stock to geC
early returns. He budded ON lime
roots Batelahs, st. Micheals, Medi-
terranean Sweets and Malta Bloods,
from trees imported from Rivers that
had been propagated by budding for
generations, perhaps Tor centuries;
the buds truited generously in sur
prisingly short time, while the Joppa
and the Konah budded from seed
lings on similar stock at the same
time have not truited single speci-
men. Therefore he reasons that the
habit of early truiting is bred into
trees by generations OF budding and
high culture, while buds from seed
lings are slower and underbred.
The fourth objection to lemon
stock is that it Is tender, shallow
rooted and easily blown over We
think this tendency overrated. The
China lemon, like the ounce, throws
out great mass OF tbrous roots
which promote the rapid growth and
early truittulness of the tree; but
the Seeding lemon has tap root,
which, in deep soils, as M. D. Halli-
dry, of Santa Ana, has ascertained
by digging down, runs to depth of
ten to fifteen feet, which, with strong
laterals, are sufficient to maintain it.
We saw Seeding orange blown over
on the ranch of Messrs. Rose q
.Windona, but should not have
thought it worthy OF note, if China

sailed when laid PROSTATE. China
lemon has been the victim of many
unjust aspersions, every diseased or
PROSTATE tree being held up as an
awful example OF constitutional
weakness, and universal degeneration
argued as natural sequence.
When the facts of the case have been
examined nothing very alarming has
} been found.
The tenderness of the bud on
China lemon stock is easily explained
and easily obviated. When the greed

the orange the most desirable; it is
harder, has treer habit, produces
a greater quantity of small brush, and
consequently a larger quantity OF

is very desirable, as the summer

realized the 9Th year, and this sum
would be easily realized the following
year by the trees extra growth and
Increased capacity toproduce.
The third objection made to orange
on China lemon stock is that the fruit
is interior to that on the orange root,
particularly in flavor, it being held
that the lemon stock imparts the acid
qualities OF the lemon. This objec.
ton is usually made sweeping one,
embracing all varieties under all con
ditions OF growth and culture in all
situations, circumstances which we
believe must be taken into consider
alton to determine the force and def
mite application Of the objection.
Reasoning by analogy, what we
know OF other species OF fruits on
foreign stocks show that there are
many modifying circumstances atfec-
ting the appearance and flavor.
These are suitability OF stock TO soil
and climate, mode of culture, and
varieties. Thus the hard-shell sweet
almond Is the 1avorite stock on the
warm soils OF France and Italy tor
budding the peach upon, but tails in
the lower temperature Of the soil OF
England, where plum stock is found
superior to either peach or almond.
W. S. Chapman, in an interesting
article on "Bud and Stock" IN the
Southern California; Horticultawas1
tor May, 1879, relates that peaches
and cherries on plum and cherry
stocks in the calcareous borders Of
the rampant gardens of Rouen soon
fall into sickly state, while the same
buds on the same stocks in the same
gardens flourish in borders composed
artifcially OF loan; while, on the
other hand, peaches and cherries on
the almond Mahaleb will prosper in
these calcareous soils, they i'll turn
will laugulsn and become enfeebled
when set in the borders OF loam."

Last spring | sowed pint of salt
around it, and limbs grew from three
to three and halt feet long. In the
spring OF 1877 / set out seventy five
trees putting pint OF salt in the
dirt used for filling, and then sowed
pint more on the surface after each
tree was set. All grew as if they
had never been taken from the
nursery. Last spring l set thirty
more, treating them in the same way,
and they grew very finely. The salt

The Camp Meeting.


The Free Methodist Camp Meeting,
which commenced in this place a week
ago to-day has been a complete suc-
cess in every particular. The attend
ance has been large and the very best
Of order has prevailed throughout
Quite number of ministers of the
f. NJ. denomination have been ia at
tendance, prominent among whom are
Revs. Hart, Hawkins, Brown and
Cripp, and some very good sermons
have been listened to from these
divines.
On Saturday morning last the deli-
cation Of their neat new church took
place, which occasion was attended by
large number of people. The cere.
monies were imposing, appropriate
and interesting. The debt Of the
church, amounting to $3.50, was wiped
out by collection taken up before the
dedication, which is qualification to
the members and credit to those who
were liberal in their donations.
On Sunday two special trains-one
from Oil City, and one from Irvineton
brought many visitors to town, and
it is estimated that nearly three
thousand people were on the grounds
in the afternoon. Quite large rum
Der have been forward and received
blessings, and some sound and we trust,
lasting conversions were the results.
Presiding Elder Hawkins took frequent
occasion to thank the people for the
very good order and attention while
the services were going on, and paid
the citizens Of Tionesta and vicinity
high compliments for their vigilence
and successful efforts to maintein
quietude and order.
The meeting comes to a close this
evening, and we have every reason to
believe the members and all connected
are highly elated over the result. We
are not informed whether or not they
expect to hold their encampment here
next year. Should they conclude to
do SO they can calculate Oh still
larger attendance, However, TOO large
crowd is not preferable on such oc-
casions, and it is likely, for this reason,
the meeting will not be held here again,
at least for some years to come.

The Niagara Excursion.

Those who expect to take advan.
tage of the excursion to visit Niagara
Falls should not fail to be on hand
promptly tomorrow morning. The
train will pass here about $50, and
will arrive at Niagara about 1;30 p.
M, leaving on the return trip at $50
giving excursionists over seven hours
in which to visit the various places of
interest, which is ample time. The
fare from this place will be S270,
which all agree is very reasonable in
deed. The party will be brought
.home much earlier than on the pre-.
vious excursion, as special pains have
been taken to that effect. Mr..
w. S. Baldwin, the Genl Passenger
Agent, will accompany the train ard
give his personal attention to the mau-
agement of the excursion and see that
every comfort is provided. Conduct
or Evans will run the train, which
will be a satisfaction to those who iE-
tend going. This will doubtless be
the last excursion of the season and
all who have the least desire to visit
this great natural wonder should
avail themselves Of this splendid op-
portunity. A baggage car will be at
tached to take care Of lunches, and no
one should go without something to
revive the inner man. Don't forget
the time, $50 Il. M, and be on hand
in good season.

One Monster Bear Less.

Mr.. George Watson and Aaron
Root, Of Red Brush this county, have
lately become noted as famous bear
'slayers. Their newly acquired repu-
tation was obtained last week Tues
day, when they had the good fortune
to slay the monster Of the forest in the
shape of huge black bear. AS one
of their men was riding horse along
their plank road near one Of their mills
he saw large bear cross the road
few rods in front Of him. Going to
the mill he informed Mr.. Watson of
what he had seen; the latter told Mr..
r. to take'his gun and dog and they
would try to capture the animal.
Getting ready as soon as possible they
started and running up braDch log
road, they soon came to the runway,
or usual crossing for bears, when they
are travelling that way. No sooner
had they reached the crossing than
Mr. Watson beheld the bear coming
on run, directly towards them, with
his mouth open and making a loud
growing or grunting noise pursuading
Aaron to reserve his fire until. the
beast had come quite near, the latter
fired and wounded the animal quite
seriously. Meeting SO warm recep-
ton bruin wheeled to one side and
rushed into the woods before lie dis.
appeared Aaron fred his second
barrel, but owing to too hasty aim
he scored a miss. Fearing the monster
would escape them, Mr.. Watson and
the dog, which is large, fierce one,
started on the trail the bear being
somewhat crippled by the shot was
soon brought to bay and for a few
minutes Mr.. w. did not know which
would have to retreat, himself and dog,
or the bear, but seeing some saplings
near, which he could climb in case of
necessity, George succeeded in holding
his position until Aaron, who had
halted to load his gun, could come up.
The latter came up soon, and taking
good aim during a lull in the tussel
between bear aud dog, he fred, lodg-
ing the bullet in the animals brain
which caused him to quickly bite the
dust. This ended the battle, which,
as described by the hunters, was one
Of short duration but of great excite

lining the game he was found to be of

teeth were decayed and worn to the
gums. 1t was estimated that had he
been fat the beast would have weighed
at least six hundred pounds. 1t was
