ONE of the most successful persons
in raising peaches is Mr.. Andrew
Sweeten, Of New Jersey. The land is
sandy, but he plants the trees deeper
than they were In the nursery. At time
of planting he places two quarts of lime
and small quantity of manure on the
surface about each tree, cuItivates well
and raises truck on the land until the
trees are large. He removes the sur
face earth around the trees for two OF
three feet when manuring, making the
depth about three inches, and after til

earth.

SALT has been greatly recommended
as a specific manure for the ounce. 1t

its good effect more to its influence in
keeping the soil moist and preventing
its freezing, than to any inherent ma

eddy times when salt is absolutely hurt

quantities after deep cultivation, which

FARMERS do not often keep bulls

they become dangerous as they grow

kept 80 long as they are serviceable,
and in this, one cause of their superb

Thirty years ago Grover Cleveland
was teacher in the New York Institu-
ton for the Blind. The home of this
school is in the symmetrical stone build
ing on Ninth avenue, between Thirty
third and Thirty-fourth streets. A re-
porter of the Evening Post called at the
Institution and was permitted by Super
intendcnt Wait to examine the records
to discover the time and the nature of
young Cleveland's connection with the
school. There are no written records
going back thirty years, and all
that is to be found is in the bound
volume of printed annual re-
ports. The faculty in the
| literary department, as appears in the
! report of lSiA, consisted of William n.
Cleveland, Grover Cleveland, Mary J.
Crofut, Louise Mowrey and Francis j.
Crosby. T. Golden Cooper was Superinf
tendent. He was killed in the battle
! the Wilderness. From a brief entry
in the report it appears that the two
! Clevelands, William y. and Grover,
brothers, were appointed ut or near the
same time. The Rev. Il. j. w. Buck
land, who had been principal in the male
department, resigned on May 4, 1858, but
remained Mt his post during the remain
der of the term. In October following

Cleveland was appointed to the assist
antship. In the schedule list of teachers
in the report of 1851 the name is printed
! Grover Cleveland, but in the statement
about the appointment the young man
is called $. q. Cleveland. The Secretl
ry of the Governing Board at that time
was Goo. +. Allen, whose family were
passengers # the Inflated Arctic and
were lost. superintendent Wait was
not able to trace relationship between
the then Secretary Allen and the GOV
ornor's Allen relations in Buffalo, but il
is probable that il exists, and that
through that channel the two CleVelands
came to be connected with the depart
mcnt of instruction in the institution.
ON leaving the school, as Grover did af-
ter n years employment, he went to his
Uncle Allen in Buffalo, continuing In
that city till he left il for Albany.
Superintendent Wait said To- the re-
porter that nj the time MIR. Cleveland
was employed in the institution no
special tcaining was required to teachers
to fit them to instruct the blind. Knowl-
edge was impaired orally for tho most
part. The teacher was assisted good
deal by the use of objects which the put
pills could handle, but there were not
then, rs there are now, text books pre-
pared for the blind to read by the sens
of touch. Any ordinary teacher was
competent to hold position in the In
Stitution. Their services, however, be.

manned, for by practice they came Il
