Peach Culture.

Peach Culture. :
The conditions of failure in peach
growing, concisely stated, are:
l. A wet soil, or one that from any
cause holds water around the roots of
the tree, whether the land is situated
high orlow. :,
2. Excessive fertility, while the trees
are young, whether it be secured in the
natural condition of the soil or by the in
genuity of man.
8. Severe cutting back of the young
growth each year, thus dwarfng the tree
and robbing it Of .much natural vitality.
4. Allowing the trees to ovcrbear and
thus exhaust their vitality by a single
crop of fruit.
8. BY deficient and improper c~ultiva.
ticn.
On the other hand, the conditions Of
success in peach growing are:
1. An elevated location that is not
subject to late frosts in the Spring or
early frosts in the Fall.
Q. A warm and moderately fertile soil
that is we'll drained by nature. Artif-
cial drainage may prove sussessful, but
its utility has not yet been fully demon
strated in this region.
8. Thorough cultivation, without ma
nure, until the trees come into bearing,
then combine the two SO as to supply all
the depletion produced in the soil by
growth Of trees and fruit.

Eggs for HatchinH.

If the rules given by an authority in
France-where poultry matters receive so
much successful attention-wcre strictly
followed, we should hear less about ad-
died eggs, chickens coming dead, or too
weak to break out of the shell when
fully developed. Never let the eggs
pass over. one day in the nest when laid,
and it would be better to pick them up
three or four times a day, Dr. as soon after
being laid as possible. This prevents the
prolonged contact of the heat of each
successive laying hen, which is apt to
create a premature development of the
germ in the egg, making it liable to
perish when this heat is withdrawn. Re-
Ject all with soft shell or in any way mis-
shapcn, or surrounded with q circular
ring, or having M end with an uneven
or rough surface. Also those very mar
row or unusually round, or wanting in
size, or too large, or double yolked. The
sooner they are set, the more certainty of
Matching, and the more quickly; eggs
set Immediately after being laid often
hatch in nineteen days. instead of in
twenty-one, the general prescribed time.
Eggs will preserve their terminating
powers twenty days; but in order to be
well kept during this time they ought to
be turned once a day, as is done by the
hen when sitting. This turning has the
effect of keeping the yolk in the centre,
which is important; it being of greater
specific gravity than the white or albu-
men, its tendency is to work through to
the side of the shcll.-NeaD York Tribune.

than the old style, thus q great saving
in plants, and when planted this way
can be cultivated both ways, which is
also a saving of one-half the hand work
and hoeing.
sixth-By this mode of pruning all
the medium sized, heavy bearing vari
ties, such as Nays Victoria, Versailles,
Baby Castle, red Dutch and black cur
rants as we'll, may be made to produce
fine fruit nearly as .arge as the cherry
currant and longer in the bunch.
Seventh-Bushes last for twenty
years or more pruned in this way, for
the vitality is always kept up, and they
are better able to stand the ravages
of the currant worm on account
of the rank foliage and abundance of
it.
Eighth-And while we could name
other advantages yet with the ebove
named, we can say from our W expert
ence that currants will pay as vel, if
not better, than the cultivation of any
other kind of fruit produced for market
at the present time. My.own experience
with one acre; pruned this way has alto
gether exceeded my. expectations, as
well as others who have tried the same
plan. The above plan will apply quite
wellto the cultivation Of the goossberry
also.

WHERE ARE THEY
HAVE THE LAKE SHORE STRIKERS GIVEN
UP THE FIGHT
And Gone Off to Seek Work Elsewhere
None Of Them nor Their Sympathz-

Writes from Cell No. LOG.

CHICAGO, July 6.-There has peeh no
settlement of the Lake Shore switchmen'
strike, at least the railroad officials know
of none. No overtures have been made
by the switchmen. Two days OF inaction,
80 far as the movement of freight was con-
cerned, ended this morning when business
was resumed under the conditions that
have prevailed ever since the strike De
e,me a settled fact. Pinkerton's rihemen
were early in the field and 50 were the Town
of Lake Police and n contingent from the
Sheriff7s office, the elastic authority. oil the
latter being about their only redeeminS
virtue, no active aid being expected from
them in the event of hostilities reOpening.
But the strikers-where were they? None
were in sight to disturb the nerves OF the
most timid riheman, and the reporters
shifted the air in vain for the absent switch
men and their sympathizers.
The absence of strikers from their usual
haunts caused some degree Of comment,
and it was stated that large number OF
them had left to seek work elsewhere.

A good vein of gas was struck on Sun

CHICAGO. July 6.-Anarchist Parsons
has addressed a letter dated Cook County
Bastile. Cell No. 1O6," to the editor Of the
Dafg Ners, in regard to the action taken
by District Assembly No. 2i, Knights OF
Labor, of Chicago, denOuncing him and
Others as advocates OF riot and murder,
because they are Anarchists, and command
in" that Parsons be expelled from the
Knights of Labor in company with every
other workingman "WhO follows the red
FLAG and uphOlds the doctrines OF SOCIAL
ism" Parsons claims that the objects ana
aims of the Knights of Labor and Anar-
chists and Socialists are precisely Identical.
In support of this statement ne quotes
from the principles adopted by the recent
convention, and says:
ain addition To the above, the order also
proclaims that among the higher duties
that should be taught i'll every local assem-
bly are mans inalienable inheritance anu
right to share, for use, of the soil, ana that
the right to life carries with 1t the means
of living; and that all statutes (lawS) that
obstruct or deny these rights are wrong
unjust and must give way After reading
the above submit to candid and lntelll-
cent public to decide if these are not the
precise objects and aims which Socialism
has proclaimed for the past thirty years,
and advocated by Socialists and Anarchists
all over the world? Such beng the
case, the Knights of Labor Is
simply another name for Socialists, Tact
which intelligent persons understand tull
well. As to the red flag, the wage workers
who march to the music of labor's econ
omie emancipation, whatever their nation
ality OF creed, are repudiated and outlawed
by every llag save the red one. rs to riot
and murder, what are the facts! Let the
record of the international, which Is the
Anarchist organization, answer for ltSell.
The Haymafket meeting was protest
against murders which had been commit
ted at McCormiclI's the day before. nthlS
looks like murder and riot, then put us
down Us such.
Through the grated bars of my prison
| cell there comes from the streets the noise
and din of the Fourth of July-that day
which 40 years ago was made memorable
by the proclamation of the lnallenable
| rights of man. My ancestors helped frame

to tvrants was obedience to God II
they lived to-day they would he on trial
for riot and murder, and the scatiold
wonld he thrust in the face for dislOyalty
toward established wrongs. The District
Assembly imputes to the Anarchists the
responsibility for the Haymarket tragedy
of May 4. They do not seem to compTe'
hend that that affair, like those OF East
St. Louis, McCormick's factory, BAY View,
| Milwaukee and elsewhere, were the
natural outgrOwth of the class struggle o
the wage system. So likewise the spread
of AnSrchism and the growth Of thu

Great Fight.
CHICAGO, July 6.-Pat Sheedy has re-
turned from New York. He attributes
Mayor Grace's refusal to permit the Sulli-
van-Mitehell fight to the jealousy of the
County Democracy toward Tammany.
''Tammany," said Sheedy, ''was my
friend, and it is the only political society
in New York that has ever given anything
to the Parnell fund Consequently they
were getting praised for it at all the Par
nell meetings, When / was making ar
rangements for the Sullivan-Mitchell
match at the polo grounds some OF the
Tammany people came TO me and asked II
would give an exhibition at the Madison
Square Garden for the benefit of the Par
nell fund. said would if Sullivan was
willing. / went to see the champion and
he agreed ut once.
As soon as the county Democracy heard
of this they were jealous, and, going to
Mayor Grace, got him to refuse license

27th of June that all places with platforms
must have a theatrical license, and If they
have that il does away with the liquor IL
