CURIosITIEs OF LIFE.-Lay your finger
on your pulse and know that at every
er-some fellow-being crosses the river
of death; and if we but think of it, we
may well wonder that it should be so
long before our turn comes. Half of all
who live die before seventeen years.
Only one person in ten thousand lives to
bea hundred years old, and but one in a
hundred reaches sixty years. The mar
ried live longer than the single. There
is one soldier to every eight persons; and
out of every thousand born ninety five
weddings take place.

RIGHT FOR ITS OWN SAKE.-Let right
doing, for the sake of right, be your daily

fiuence for good far and wide, like ''bread
cast upon the face of the WATER" and be
assured, if not now and here, your rec

Trade i'm Nuts.

Tine New York Market Laa0ea says
that Africa used to supply us with
peanuts, sending them by shiploads,
but our Southern States have success
1ully cultivated this popular nut that
we are now independent. The States
that furnish the bulk of the supply
are Virginia, North Carolina and
Tennessee. During the present sea-
son the crop of Virginia was l,lOO,>
600 bushels; of Tennessee, 100000
bushels, and of North Carolina, 12o,-
900 bushels.
The nut probably most popular
after the peanut is the pecan. The
Texas pecan is especially in demand.
While few years ago several bar
rels of pecans abundantly supplied
! the demand, Car loads and invoices
of one or two hundred barrels are
| now not uncommon.
a large trade is done in the city OF
New York in hickory nuts. English
walnuts, Madeira nuts, Brazil nuts
cocoanuts, chestnuts, black walnuts
buttcrnuts, hazlenuts, ETC., are sold il
New York in considerable quantities
The trade in foreign nuts isenormous
The demand has trippled in five years
The process Of drying the meat o

War with Weeds .

From the Prairie Farmer.
About these days it will require
vigorous and persistent work on the
part oil the farmer to keep the weeds
from getting away with his cultivated
crops. The same laws of growth
and development apply to weeds
that govern in the growth and ma
turity of corn, cotton, tobacco, sor-
gho, potatoes, etc. Moisture and
heat are alike necessary to each and
all; abstract from the soil, elements
indispensable to their life, develop
ment and maturity. If the noxious
growths required elements distinct
from those appropriated by the bene-
fetal products, they might grow side
by side without detriment. But the
former appropriate the food required
by the latter, besides dwarfng them
with shade. Lack OF sufficient food
and sunshine results la strangulation,
or loss, al least, in yield. Ordin-
arily there is not plant food sufficient
in the soil to mature a good crop of
any desired product and a crop OF
weeds at the same time. Nothing is
more certain than this: The more
weeds a farmer allows to grow, the
less will be the yield of his crops.
The recent rains, which have been
SO general throughout the Western
States, will give the weeds a new
start. Eternal vigilance is the
price OF good crop under such
state of things and the cultiva,'
tors ana other weed destroying
implements should be vigorously
pushed. Clean cultivation is held by
some farmers to be the sheet anchor
Of successful farming, for that involves
good tillage, which is necessary to
good crops, However that may be,
we usually find that clean crops and
fertile lands are generally found on
the same farm. The man who wages
a vigorous war against weeds is one
who understands the character and
requirements OF his farm, to insure
its fertility, and he manages it SO that,
in anything like a favorable season,
it always honors his drafts, and makes
fair returns in crops for. his toll and
trouble.
The difference noticeable on farms
in close proximity, is often not lit
tie remarkable. The fields, in some
cases, are overrun with noxious
growths, while not far away on
another farm, comparatively few
weeds are to be seen. Negligent
tillage on one hand, and good man
agement with unremitting care on
the other, accounts for the difference.
A single weed maturing its seed,
may become five hundred the sues
ceeding year, aud ten thousand the
second year.
The object had in view at the Out
set Of this article, however, was not
to speak at length of weeds. The
outcome OF cultivated crops only was
contemplated, and therefore we
would impress upon the mind OF
every farmer, that if he expects to
obtain fair yields from these crops
the destruction of weeds just now is
OF very great Importance.

Budding is considered much easier
than grating, bat it has its rules and
regulations without the observance
of which no success can be expected.
The bark must be in good peellng
condition, on both scion and STOCK.
Plums can usually be budded earliest
in tie season, and peaches last. by
care and skill almost any kind of nut
bearing or forest tree can be budded
upon one OF its own species, as choice
weeping willows on the common kind
purple>leaved beech on the plain
leaved variety, double lowered plum
and cherry on the STRAIGHTFORWARD
ones, choicest hybrid roses upon the
ordinary kinds, even to the extent OF
dozen varieties on one stock.
In budding we should choose a
thrifty twig OF the kind we want, OF
this years growth clip the leaves of
leaving a bit of leat-stem on the
branch. The buds near the tip are
not ripe enough. Buds from last
years wood are useless. On the trunk
OF the little tree to be budded,
smooth place should be chosen near
the ground, or if the stock is large, a
smooth place on the lesser limb.
With a sharp knife slit the bark ver>
Lically an inch, and make cross cut
at the upper end, raising the bark at
he corners. This is the first step of
he operation.
Next comes the cutting OF the
,ud. 1t should be severed from the
cion by placing the sharp knife.blade
lalf an inch above the bud, and
licing out an oval bit, smoothly cut,
nd an inch long, with an oval bit in
he centre This is the "bud' in hor-
icultural phraseology, and is to be
Tipped carefully into the cut made in
he STOCK, and pushed down until it

rations arc to be done with a sharp
mite and steady hand.
The last operation consists merely
n using Irvine, bits Of old cloth,
trips OF bass, or whatever tying ma,
erial comes handy, to bind the cut
ogether holding the bud in its place
nd preventing the sun from shrivel-
ing the bark, or passers.by from
hooking the bud out. Wrapping a

hree weeks the strings should be

How to FertiliZe in the Piny
Woods.

W OOuS'
N. ". IL, in Putnam County Journal
No question is more important to
the orange grower, than how to fer
tilize a grove without being depend
ent upon commercial fertilizers. Ii
NAV be true that no grove can be
made what it ought to be, and might
be, without commercial fertilizers
unless one has cattle and can obtain
the same results by "cow-9ennlng'
But most of us who are raising
GROVES have few or no cattle, and
must look elsewhere tor fertilizers
The most natural fertilizer we find
in this country is muck. Some de-
mend on this alone and think it very
good, but as tar as my observation
has gone, have yet to see grove
looking as it ought, with only muck
as a fertilizer. River, or swamp
muck, may be sufficient, but pond
muck, the kind mostly used in this
vicinity, gives the trees a starved
look. Any muck properly comp"sted
with lime, will furnish a large share
OF tree food.
To those who have no muck |
would say, you have yet i'll your
reach, if you have pine woods near
at hand, a. good fertilizer which can
be made with but little cost, except |
that of labor. The rotten sap wood
Of old pine logs, the pine straw and
leaves of other trees, together with
any grass or weeds that may be
found about the place, put in pile

Will, in six months or year, make
an excellent fertilizer.
Such trash will decay and be fit to
apply to the trees as soon as swamp
muck. In the meantime, while the
com post heap is decaying' !
take of the same material one cart
load to four trees and apply as a
mulch. Let not much OF the mulch
touch the body of the tree, but let
the heaviest part be on the outer
edge Of the circle.
An advantage from mulching is
often overlooked, which is its most
important, valued element. When
ever vegetable matter il decaying in
a damp and shady place, nitrate OF
potash or saltpetre is deposited,
This is the most important mineral
of all animal manures. Am.
monla is also found by the mulch, and
hence benefit obtained not to be
derived from composing.
l come then to state that by mulch
ing with what may be gathered from
any vacant lot or woods, and cons
posting the same, all that is needed
to make fine growing grove can be
obtained without buying commercial
manures. Lime and common salt
can be added to advantage but
these need not increase the cost very |
much.
have no war to make with COM
mercial fertilizers. as / probably
handle as much as any one in this
region, but I wish those who have
not the money to purchase the ferris
lizers, and have not the muck handy
for use, to know that they are not
destitute of the means OF helping
themselves. In applying this mulch>
ing and the compost fertilizer rec
ommend, one can scarcely err by
using too much. 1t should be used
until the trees show a stout and Wig,
orous growth, and the leaves are
large and have dark glossy look.
