Peach Trees Among Orange Trees.

Mandarin correspondent of the Florida
Dispatch writes; Ny experience with peach
trees is quite different from that of Rev.
James P. DePass planted 100 peach trees
on land that is now part of the orange
grove, about IA years ago, hoping to get
something from them before the orange
trees came into bearing. They grew very
we'll for a year or two and then failed, and
were dug up to make room for orange trees.
Now, on the same land, with no more ma
nure, or cultivation or care, the orange trees
vigorous as one could wish to see. One tree
(peach) was left on the north side of the
barn, fine, large, yellow clingstone; it
grew and bore fruit, and was in every way
satisfactory until planted a small orange
tree, not over three feet high, near it. The
orange tree grew and is now over 20 feet in
height and capable of bearing over 1000
oranges, while the poor peach tree dwin-
died away and is now dead. l had a row
of peach trees on the south side of the grove
about 20 feet distant from the first row OF
orange trees; the orange trees have done
we'll but the peach trees are smaller than
they were 10 years ago. Several of my
neighbors have tried budded varieties OF
peaches, plums, apricots, etc, years ago
and the failure in every case to get any
fruit of any consequence was owing, now
think, to their being planted too neal
orange trees and not having the right kind
of manure l have two Thurber peach
trees in the garden that bear we'll nearly
every year, but they are at distance from
the grove and they get a peck apiece Of
hammock ashes every year. Encouraged
by them, shall venture on peach orchard
of 20 trees, and propose to manure literally
with ashes or potash manures, prune Sc
verely and mulch heavily.

leaves the bottom and sides, then mix in
two eggs. Some chopped celery is always a
good addition.
SOME SIMPLE REMEDIES. For a sore
throat cut slices of fat, homeless bacon, pep
per thickly and tie around the throat with
flannel cloth. When stung by bee or
wasp, make paste of common earth and
water, put on the place at once and cover
with a cloth. For cold on the chest n
flannel rag rung out in boiling water and
sprinkled with turpentine, laid on the chest,
gives the greatest relief When felon first
begins to make its appearance, take lemon,
cut off one end, put the fiuger in and the
longer it is kept there the better. For
cough boil one ounce of fiaxseed i'll "A pint
of water, strain and add a little honey, one
ounce of rock candy and the juice of three
lemons; mix and boil well. Drink as hot as
possible. Often after cooking a meal per
son will feel tired and have no appetite. For
this beat raw egg until Ii sht stir in lit
Tile milk and sugar and season with nutmeg
Drink half an hour before eating. For
burn or scald make a paste of common
baking soda and water, apply at once and
cover with linen cloth. When the skin is
broken apply the white of an egg with a
feather; this gives instant relief, as it keeps
the air from the flesh. At the first signs OF
runround take a cup of wood ashes, put
Ill a pan with a quart of cold water, put
the pan on the stove, put your finger IN the
pan, keep it there until the water begins TO
boil, or as long as it can be borne Repeat
once or twice if necessary.

sweetening qualities of saecharin. This is
probably due to its inSolubility, under ordi-

solutions, to overcome which it must be
mixed with IA small quantity of a suitable

practical purposes it is probably best to OBJ

HOW To Work Butter.

Working butter, says the American DAT
17n11an, is an art and one that is worth
learning with much labor and care. Every
one admits that the keeping quality and
grain of butter is almost solely governed
by the skill with which the working has
been done. The question then arises, how
is the working best done! There are many
mechanical arrangements for doing this
work and they always do it in mechanical
way and usually very well; but yet always
in a mechanical way This applies to rollers
and wheels generally Probably the worst
working that butter ever gets is generally
with paddle with the butter in a bowl,
where the paddle is drawn with a sliding
motion over and through the slippery mass.
The best work is probably done with lever
over a table, but this lever must be handled
with care and intelligence. One prime point
is never to be in hurry. Do not strike
down on the butter, but let the motion be
easy and graceful, and keep the mass well
turning, and learn to stop when the work
is done. Overwork in this direction is fatal,
no matter how carefully it is done. But
above all things go slow. Quick, nervous
action will never bring good results, but be
slow and deliberate, keeping your mind and
eve close to the work, SO as to determine
that every part of the mass receives an
equal share of pressure and that no part
gets more than its share 1t takes time and
study to learn Just how to work butter to
perfection

Use of Farm Implements.

Mr. Spence. She was handsomely attired
in dark dress and bodice. Her converse
ton was particularly bright and flowing.
The lady after being offered a seat, stated
that she desired to make arrangements for
the burial of lady friend who was not yet
dead, but who was expected to die. She
finally said it was her twin sister. cata-
logue was shown her, but none seemed to
please her She finally asked TO be allowed
to see some samples, and was accommo-
dated. During the conversation the lady
said;
And how would you like to bury meY'
"You are not dead" remarked Mr.
Spence, with surprise.
Eyes, | am, but you see I can talk The
doctors can do nothing f me, and | have
been thinking of this thing I'M serious way
for several months" She finally requested
to be measured. She measured feet and be-
tween 6 and inches, or at least would take
that size casket. While walking around she
said she was determined TO be placed in a
casket and buried. Her family has a pri-
vate lot in one of the prominent GENE
tcries, but she not did care to be buried with
any ceremony, and more particularly de
sired a private interment, with no one as a
witness but the undertaken and his assist

and was willing to pay $500 to any respon-
sible undertaken who would carry out her
wishes.

tee would be given that death would come

tract. furthermore, she offered $50, then
$500 NShe also said she had offered an under
taker in New York 500 TO DO the job. The
officer recognized the lady as former resi-
dent Of East Baltimore street. and seemed
to think she was demented. Mr. Evans
stated that he did not notice anything
strange about the woman's actions, and she
appeared very rational She gave her
name and residence TO Mr.. Evans, who
! said he would write to her relatives, as the
lady had promised faithfully to be ON

for his kindness and willingness 10 crafty
