Loved His Adopted Daughter.

A sad-faced, handsome woman, poorly
but neatly clad, was seated on bench
at the station house yesterday, says
the Memphis AUalanche. She held an
infant in her arms, and was weeping in
o silent, hopeless sort of way.
A reporter drifted in, and after some
questioning, the woman told her story.
Her name is Mrs. Bette Slaughter, and
she came from near Collierville, in this
county. Her maiden name was Nc
Cord.
During her girlhood she met and
loved a farmer named j. Franklin
Slaughter. They were married on Janu-
ary IS, 1882, and dwelt together peace
fully and happily.
Soon after their marriage Sallie Sut-
ton, pretty orphan child 0years old,
came to them and asked for home.
The Slaug ghters were poor, but they
took the girl in and cared for her "
best they could. ....-.-
Sallie grew rapidly and developed
into fine girl. She found favor in her
foster-father' eyes, and Mrs. Slaughter
noticed that J. Franklin was fond OF
caressiug the buxom Sallie. 80
About year ago he said he would
find Sallie q better home than he could
give her, and he and his adopted
daughter started for Memphis osten-
sibly.
Neither of them returned. ,...
After time the truth dawned on the
deserted wife, and, trying to forget her
false husband, she SCI about trying to
make living for herself and two small
children and her invalid mother She
met with i'll success. Her health was
delicate md she was unable to do rough
work. But for the kindness of neigh
bors the family would have starved.
About week ago Mrs. Slaughter re-
ceived news of her runaway husband.
He had killed himself in a fit of mad
ness caused by the fickleness of the
girl he had ruined.
Slaughter and the girl were living in
Kentucky as man and wife. She had
admirers and encouraged them, and
Slaughter objected.
She pleaded innocence for time,
but her lovers became more marked in
their attentions, and violent quarrel
took place between Slaughter and the
girl. Fl,
She threatened to leave him.
Confronted with the prospect of los
ing the prize for which he had aban-
doned home, wife, children and honor,
Slaughter put an end to his miserable
existence.
He owned arevolver, and ball from
it crashed through his brain and left
Sallie again without protector.
After hearing of her husbands death
Mrs. Slaughter decided to come to Mem
phis and seek employment. She
brought her children with her, but left
her mother to be cared for by neigh
bors.
Mrs. Slaughter has no money, and
wants employment. She said that she
was willing to do any sort of work.

THE VALUE OF FRUIT TREES.

ga good fruit tree IS worth ffty
dollars" we heard an old farmer say re-
Gently. If this is true, an orchard OF
one acre containing fifty trees should ln-
crease the value of the farm upoE which
it is situated by the pleasant sum- OF
S2500-less, of course, the original value
of that individual acre. While it might
be difficult to find q purchaser who
would accept this valuation, says X. X.
James in the American Agricultnrist, my
own experience inclines me to the be-
lief that the farmers assertion was not
far from right. A money yield OF three
dollars per aunum from each tree would
give six per cent upon this capitalized
value. It is poor tree that will not
average this, even allowing for off years,
and of years are not so frequent as to
alternate regularly with the bearing ones:
A healthy tree, properly cared for, will
give crop two years out OF three that
will pay for harvesting. Occasionally q
tree will give crop that will lay the
interest for many years in one. An Early
Richmond cherry tree paid Inc last year
EIGHT dollars, besides the fruit used at
home, which was sufficient to pay entire
cost of gathering. From a sweet cherry
tree this year I sold three-and- d-one- half
bushels at two dollars per bushel.
Two Chickasaw plum trees, growing
so closely together that their branches
intertwine as if they were trees, the two
covering space of about five hundred
square feet, frequently pay ten dollars in
a season, which would be at the rate OF
over $500 per acre. A pear tree near by
Yields ten bushels in good season, and
one dollar per bushel is not an unusual
price. Three early apple trees this sea-
son gave over fifty bushels, which sold
at from eighty cents to $1.2O per bushel.
The trees were so full that I had to COM
mence picking while yet very green, to
save the limbs from breaking. Yet the
same trees last year gave crop that paid
more than gix per cent. upon value at
fifty dollar each.
These figures are not exceptional nor
peculiar tr a specially favorable locality,
but are such as may be attained almost
anywhere in our broad lard if discretion
is used in the selection of varieties, and
good care taken of the trees from the
time they are planted. 1t is true that
the above figures are not obtained from
regular orchard, but from a few trees
upon village lot. Yet the same aver
age results may be had from small Or
chards in which variety of fruits are
grown, and so arranged that the bearing
period will extend over long season.

LIBERAL MANURING PAYS.

Writing to the american Agriculturist,
r. Franklin says. A couple of years
ago undertook to make small field,
which was in rather poor condition, suf-
ficiently rich to pay for cultivating:
Consequently, 1 hauled upon it barnyard
manure, chip dirt from the woodward,
slaughter. house offal and refuse, until the
ground was covered so deeply that the
stuff could hardly be plowed under. A
neighbor came along and. criticised my
methods. That field would be rich
but the rest of the farm kept poor The
yield of potatoes from the manured
ground was at the rate, this season, OF
go bushels per acre; not an exceptional
yield, but n good one for this locality.
Sufficient to convince me, at least, that
received a better profit from the fertiliz.
ers than if they had been thinly spread
over larger area. A little ground,
made rich and well worked, will pay bet
ter every time than large area of poor
ground imperfcctly worked. Which IS
only another way of saying that the last
load of manure, and the last turn of the
cultivator on an acre, pays better than
the first one. And, until the capacity OF
the first acre is measured, it is folly to
apply either to the second.

Bailey, in Garden and Forest, and have
vet to see such an experiment in the peach
orchard which paid. In apple orchards
it is frequently profitable, but apple trees
arc set further apart, and the trees are
sufficiently long-lived to allow all the
trees to even up.
am confident that most growers allow
their peach orchards to get too old. There
should be no sentiment in mattcr-of-
fact operation like the growing OF
peaches, and when the trees cease to be
profitable on account of age, they should
be uprooted. I have seldom known
peach orchards to be profitable after they
were twelve years planted, particularly
when they have had good culture and
have borne heavily. tits sometimes true
that they cease to be profitable at an
earlier age. But whenever the time
comes, cut them down, root them out,
and plant anew, with the same thought
for profit that leads you to cut your corn
or plow under your strawberries. AT
anv rate, do not be deluded with the no
tlon that continually filling in an orchard
is profitable.

REsETrISG IN PEACH ORCHIDS.

1t is practice Of doubtful expediency
to set new peach trees after an orchard
has been planted three years. Peach
trees are short lived, and an orchard can
not be kept full of trees with profit, un-
less the trees arc all nearly of the same
age. If new trees arc constantly set in
when the body of the orchard becomes
Improbable, there arc still few strag-
Cling and younger trees which the owner
dislikes to sacrifice, and which are yet
practically of almost no value. Land can
DE put to better use than to be titled for the
purpose of supporting a few scattering
and indifferent trees. But even the more
immediate value of trees which are filled
in is tr:Hing, and seldom worth the
trouble they give. They are checked by
their well-established neighbors, and
yield little. 1 have had experience for
many years in this direction, says l.. II.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Toulouse and Embden geese are very
large, hardy and rapid growers, and do
not require much water.
If YOU have not fixed up the COW barn
so it will be comfortable this winter, do
If nov-not next week or next month.
A small farm may be madelarger with
out extending its area; by deepening and
enriching the soil and more thorough
cultivation.
If YOUR land is rich, make and save ali
the manure you can to keep it so, and If it
is poor do the same that you may make
portion of it rich.
The selection of creamer should hinge
on what is most desired, highest quality or
greatest convenience and economy in time,
space and labor.
Peaches should not be used for chicks
of heavy breed, as they tend to deform
the chickens while the breast bone is still
in a carSNaginous state.
Tie men who makes the most money
from farming are not the ones VINO wOrN
the hardest or the most hours, but those
who manage with the greatest wisdom.
House plants should have as much sun
and light during the winter months as
possible; admit air whenever the tenn
pcrature is not too cold, say forty degrees
Fahrenheit in the open air.
As rule it is best not to prune the
peach trees until the spring. More or
less of the wood is often injured by
freezing, and in pruning this should al
wavs be removed from the trees.
One-half the meat supply may be OBJ
tained from the poultry yards. There is
no need of the farmer keeping beef
cattle if he keeps poultry, change oc-
casionally Of course is appetizing.
Did you ever try wintering hogs on
clover hay, soaked, as the principal
feed? If you have not and have not a
silo, suppose you try it the coming winter
and report success in the spring.
Cutting ont the blighted parts of pear
trees and pruning them is the only safe
remedy. If the entire tree bhghts,
dig it out and get another In Its
place. The new tree is not more liable
to blight for being set where diseased
one has been removed.
House plants should never be spinkled
or watered on the foliage when the d.
rect rays of the sun are upon them.
When gas is used in the room where
plants arc kept they will be more thrifty
if light article of paper or muslin is
we'll dampened and laid over them dur
ing the evening.
The old COW is as fond of her own
product as any other animal, as is often
witnessed to the owners loss when she
sucks herself. If fed to her with a
proper mixture of other materials, it is
our belief that skim milk will make q
better return to the dairyman in this way
than in any other.
There arc many people trying to raise
artificially Matched birds on too small
grounds. Their yards are small, and
without blade of grass or a stem OF
clover. Ample range and correct, sys-
tematically arranged buildings and runs,
with the most accurate Matching and
brooding apparatus are essential to Sue
cess.

ROAD DUST FOR THE FOWLS.

One of the things Of prime importance
for the health of fowls, and without
which they, cs.nnS- 4 Dts-ekept in an improv'
ing condition, is that they shalt .St,a.
times have free access to dry earth or
dust, where they may wallow and free
themselves from insects. Through the
summer. if they are allowed to run ut
large, not much attention to this is re-
quired, as they can generally look out
for themselves, and they will be found
scratching out hollows IA the dry ground
and dusting themselves to their great
satisfaction. Now that winter is here,
provision should be made SO that they
can continue to take their dry.dust baths
under shelter.
For this purpose nothing is better than
dry road dust, and every one keeping
fowls should lay in supply while it can
be obtained and keep enough of it for
their use through the winter, when the
ground outside has become wet and
muddy or frozen. Where there are
many fowls it is quite good plan to
have small room with window facing
to the south for this special purpose,
rather than box of dirt in their roost-
ing place or nesting room, so that they
NAV dust themselves without covering
everything else with dust. Where there
has been neglect to provide dusty earth
for this purpose, ashes may be substitu-
ted, and answer the purpose very we'll.
Persons who fail to make any provision
whatever, and keep their fowls from this
time on until spring without anything
of the kind, need not expect many eggs,
and will find them suffering from ver-
min.-New York World.
