A Heavy Peach Train.


There is an enormous train which
comes singing into Jersey City every
morning at four o o'clock. 1t is called the
peach train, and it supplies the market
which has been specified. 1t is made up
of cars which come through the various
parts of the States of Delaware, Mary
land and new Jersey At every small
rural station the cars stop, and crates of
peaches, freshly gathered, are loaded
upon them. The cars run finally together,
and make up the great train which at
daybreak empties its load into the biggest
market on the continent.
Yesterday morning the peach train
numbered eighty-two cars, each of which
was loaded with 800 crates of peaches. All
of these were dumped in West Washing
ton Market at an early hour, and all
were cleared out before shutdown in an
ticipation of a similar supply to-day.
There is no pause in the handling of
peaches. The market men must get
them Immediately off their hands, and
they accept one price when they cannot
get another. If the train is DELAYED
there is less time for selling. What is
called glut is the consequence, and,
the exchange being rapid, the prices are
less. This was the case yesterday. The
train was so heavy that it was Il laggard.
1t had to be broken into four parts to be
dragged into Jersey City, and the last
section did not arrive until nearly eight
o'clock, four hours behind the proper
time. At noon the booths in the market
were bursting. All the small stands for
a mile about were loaded down. Ganse-
WORT Market, up at the head of Hudson
Street, was so choked with the fruit that
a quantity of it rolled into the cutters.
But the alleys swarmed during all the
heat of the day with thousands of BUYERS.
the great trucks of the produce men
rolled in and out of the market in an
uninterrupted stream for hours, and by
nightfall the booths were empty, and the
10000, 900 peaches were gone.
OF yesterdays shipment to the city s.
100000 peaches came from Maryland
and Delaware, and 1000, 900 from New
Jersey-this, of course, being an esti-
mate. The Delaware and Maryland fruit
is considered finer than that from the
State Just across the river. As for the
watermelons, whatever may be the fact
Us to their relative taste, there can be no
doubt OF the superior beauty of the
melon of the Carolinas Us compared with
its cousin from New Jersey. The jersey
melon is deep sea green, stumpy, TO-
tund, and on the whole ridiculous in
appearance, whereas the Carolina fruit
is nearly yard long, beautifully ellipli-
cal in shape, and set off with longitude
nal stripes of yellow. green and pink of

and lamplight last evening the hum
Knocks Of New Jersey melons looked al
together mean in contrast with the
pyramids formed by their robust and
gorgeous Southern neighbors. 1t is an
advantage with watermclons that they
are not perishable in nearly so high a
degree as peaches are Watermelons
can be kept four or five days if the
supply of watchmcn is sufficient With
out watchmen, however, watermelons
are evaneScent, and can be kept no
longer than peaches.-N Y. Su9

Care OF Grass Lands.

The present seems to be a favorable
season in which to offer a useful Sugges-
ton Interference to the treatment of Grass
lands. 1t is true that farmers have quite
enough to attend to in properly curing
and storing the crop already grown
without spending time in preparing for
any future crop. Practical suggestions
in reference to the treatment of meadows
will carry force to the mind of the farmer
if the evils to be remedied are present.
a farmer in doing his haying cannot
help seeing the crop of foul weeds that
should not be allowed in his meadow
If there is a new meadow not properly
seeded, which could have been remedied
ere loss resulted, then it is proper that
such an inferior meadow should receive
some thought from the farmer during
having. During having is the best time
in which to consider methods Of improve
ment. Defects and weak spots in his
system of farming are quite as much ap-
parent at this season as at any time dur
ING the year.
1t may be well to give some thought to
the question of the quantity of manure
1t IS profitable to apply as a tOp-dressing
to meadow land. We are altogether too
chary OF time and expense in the care of
our meadows. | know of meadows that
have never received an application of
any kind of manure during the last ten
years. All meadows treated in this way
are very susceptible to the evil effects of
what is called "a bad season." The
usual manner of tOp-drcssinr meadows
Is little better than the practice of not
top-dreSsng at all. In many cases the
quantity OF fertilizers applied is not half
enough to accomplish the object desired.
The application is also made but once in
three or four years. Often BARNARD
manure Is not in proper shape to use |
have travelled over meadows often dur
ing haylng, where the horse-rake gath
cred up great quantities of half-rotten
straw and sn-dried chips of manure
winch were hauled to the barn with the
hay. All this can be avoided. 1t may
seem to be useless and unreasonable
task to work over the manure heap at
least twice before it is hauled to the field
to be used. | know that few farmers
perform this extra labor, their reasons
Tor not doing it being lack of time, and
lhey 90 not see wherein it would pay.
The one great and immediate return
10 be expected from top-dressing with
well hned manure, is that the growing
crop will assimilate all the manure the
llrSt season after the application. know
several farmers who annually resolve not
TO tall-feed their meadows. As pastures
commence to fail in autumn this good
resolution is broken. | am unable to see
wherein it can injure a meadow to past
ure it in the fall if it is in good condi-
ton But if the meadow is in poor con-
dtion, then by no means pasture it in
the fall.-COr. Country Gentleman.
