YIELD OF ORANGEs.-A. B. Clark, post
master at Orange, will this season gather
10000 boxes of oranges-about 256,O0O oran-
ges-from six acres of orchard planted six
years ago last summer to trees budded with
the Wilson's Best This, so far as we know,
is the best yield Of fruit ever reported in
this State-age of trees considered If the
fruit is sold at $3.50 per box it will net about
$500 per acre, which is certainly good enough,
although some people might grumble and say

GRATING PEACHES ON PLuMs.-Tt has
recently been suggested that the disease
called "yellows" in peaches may be obviated
by grating or otherwise working them on
plum stocks. We do not know how far this
may be remedy for the disease in question,
but many years ago we tried this method in
order to get rid of the borer, which is one of
the pests of the peach tree, bat it was not
satisfactory. 1t was found that the peach
stems thickened more rapidly than those of
the plums; the connection between the two
was thus imperfect, and as the trees formed
good heads they broke apart at the graft. A
severe storm of wind and rain to which they
were exposed at a time when they were
heavy with fruit and foliage, prostrated
ninety per cent. of them in a few minutes.

ESSEX BREED OF SWINE. The good
qualities Of this breed are stated as follows:
They are very peaceable and quiet, scarcely
ever attempting to root; are very fond of
grass and vegetable diet, and on full sup
ply of fallen fruit and grass they will always
be fat and growing and at any time fit for
the butcher, whether they are young or old.
Their skin is thin, ears small, and faces short,
and they have very small proportion of
waste when slaughtered. Their flesh is fine
grained, with large proportion of ham and
shoulder. Some may object to their color,
but their clean, plum -colored skin covers a
healthy carcass, and the color is only scurf
deep, for they dress as white as the whitest
breeds. They are prolific breeders and good
mothers In fact there are no amiable traits
possessed by the swine family that are
lacking in the Essex.

PLANTING CoTTON.-A writer in Home
and Farm says that in river bottoms, where
land is very rich, cotton should be checked
by feet, which will give 2,700 hills to the
acre. One hundred bolls of cotton will weigh
a pound. Any of the improved varieties OF
cotton, well cultivated, in good season, will
mature $50 bolls or q pounds per stalk.
This will make $3.50 pounds of seed cotton
per acre, if each hill has good stalk. To
do this requires care in planting and care in
cultivating, but it can be done. The great
advantage Of checked cotton is that it re-
quires less hoeing.

Baltimore was selected as the place for the

latter being members, not OF the Grand Army, but
of Southern militia organizations. During the
visit OF Dahlgron Post, Of Boston, to this city on
Monday, two oliiocls, one of Pennsylvania and
the other of Massachusetts, bearing similar corps
badges were drawn into conversation by that cir
cumstnnce, and found that they had been
