Peach Cultivation.

Mr.. Burnett, of FELTON,, is the author
of a controversy between J. G. Brown,
of Wyoming, and A. L. Hudson, of
this place, from a remark the latter
made on the street in regard to the
cultivation of peach trees. Mr.. Brown,
in the last State Sentinel, puts the fol-
lowing questions to Mr.. Hudson:
"Does not Mr. Hudson know that when q
young orchard does not come in bearing at the
proper time, root pruning is the best method for
putting said orchard to work? And does not Mr..
Hudson know that root pruning is as necessary
as top pruning? Mr. Hudson lives in a section
in which this year the peaches are general and
where they are the exception. have great re-
spect for Mr.. Hudson, and would not make issue
agalnt him: any one driving by his farm can see
that he is thorough culttvatOr, and isn't his sue
cess due 10 the work he does after his first
March plowingT If this be a fact, then my
theory saves that extra working which 1 con-
slider unnecessary.
!" And now, as the gentleman is not the author
ofwhat has been said, but only consents to it. and
Mr. B., OF FELTON, is should like to ask the latter
a few questions and expect an answer:
"Why is It that /, on three farms, have crop
Of peaches this year, and my neghbOrs on three
sides have comparatively none? One neighbor's

twenty-five feet apart-his trees have no irnit ex-

Mr.. Hudson handed us yesterday
the following as his final reply on the
subject: "With all due respect to my
friend ]. G. Browns Judgment on the
cultivation of peach orchards, beg tC

THE subject at the bottom of the la
Dor agitations of the past week under
the whip and spur of the Trades Unions
and the Anarchists, has been the de-
mand of eight hours for a days labor.
In an agricultural community the limi-
tation of hours of course is out of the
question, but in the cities where the
work people live a long distance in
many cases from their place of business
or where they are in close rooms or in
labor like that in the iron furnaces,
there are in many cases strong reasons
for the demand. But in business in
general, those engaging the average
run of wage workers outside of agricul-
ture, will anything be gained to the
men in financial sense after they get
it; and will it not be detrimental to
the point of running the business that
gives them employment? This is the
question engaging the attention of the
political economists. The New York
Tribune in discussing the question ar
CUES as follows:
ITO illustrate, let eight men repre-
sent the whole number now employed
and ten the number of all things pro
duced by labor. The men get for ter
hours work, let us suppose, 50 each
1t is assumed that two men are unem
plOyed that these would be set a
work on the eight-hour plan, and tina
the same ten things would then be pro
duced. But the eight men would thel
get 50 each, as they do now, and tw,
others would then get 80 each, maxim!
$50 in wages to be spent in buyini
things produced. Only SIG is nov
spent in buying the same things, name
ly all the products of all labor. Price
must rise, not only because the Who'll
body of laborers has 500 to spend 70
the same things which they now bu
for $16, but the employers would pa
out $50 in the cost of production wher
they now pay out SIG. Taking ten t
represent all the things produced, if tn
former price was SLIGO each, the neV
price would be 81 each The eigE
uleu HOW tupiOyCu WOulu uiNO OuI
SIG, as they have now. They wOul
therefore but only eight of the thing
> produced, where they now buy ten
3 that is, only four-fifths of their preser
: supply. The other part Of the mel
= having a fifth of the money, would tax
| the other fifth of the things produced
t Hence, if these suppositiOns of tt
: wOrkmen are correct, the laborer woul
l.. get only eight hours worth of thing
s if he should choose to work eight hour
|. while the other men, who do the othC
{ two hours work, would get fifth
things now produced. But how wou
that help the present workmen, to G
