A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer says that
peach trees raised from the seed on the spot
where they are TO grow, and budded there, live
longer and produce more fruit and are surer
bearers than those transplanted.
The demand for small fruits will, for some
years to come, exceed the supply. One two
acres could be devoted to this purpose by almost
every farmer. Do not begin on a large scale, but
extend the business as fast as the profits can be
seen.
Every grower of seeding potatoes, says the
New York Tribune well knows that it takes
from three to five years to fix the shape, color, and
type of any seeding, and that by careful selec

very successful test of water gas burning
locomotive was made last week on the Eastern
railroad, Massachusetts One of these engines
ran PIG miles and consumed 796 gallons of naph-
tina, at a cost of 1882. The Boston Journal says
that the locomotive does not differ very mater-
ally in it's appearance from the ordinary machine
of the kind, the only difference which would
strike the ordinary observer being that in the
tender the customary heap of coal is replaced by
a large tank. This tank contains naphtha. In
side of the cab, instead of the black doors usu-
ally closing the fre-box, there are doors resem-
bling those of parlor stove, filed with mica or
glass, through which can be seen the flames of
the burning gas The fre-box is occupied by a
system of retorts and perforated bars, the latter
taking the place of the CRATE bars of the ord-
nary fre-box. These perforated bars, which oc-
cupy the greater portion of the space, are de
signed to carry over the area under the boiler
the gas to be consumed, this being emitted at
frequent intervals through the perforations and
becoming ignited on its emission.
