THE WONDERFUL PEACH.

The tree is claimed by its advOcatest to be
a strong grower, while the fruit possesses
good keeping qualities. Tho peach is
firm, rich and excellent, and tho season
of ripcning in central New Jersey is the
second week in October or succeeding
Beers Smock."
a little later on will como reports from
fruit growers in various sections concern-
ing their experience with this new
conner, and these reports will influence
farmers who can afford only to test new
varieties Of promise. The cut here given
shows simply the form of the "Nonder-

The state of New Jersey, which
abounds in progressive horticlllturists,
has originated many valuable varieties
of fruits. Among peaches produced in
this state that have met with high favor
are "Crawford's Early" "Crawford's
Late" cold Nixon Free" "Stump Of
the World" "Kcyport White" etc.
And now attention is being called to the
"Wonderful' peach, q chance seeding
which appeared in an ohsemro garden Of
Jersey mechanic. Mr.. C;srles &. Hor-
her, who was attracted by its size and
beauty, is credited with having intro
duced it to the public. lie had it placed
on exhibition at the Burlington county
fair in October, 1886, where it was
awarded, in addition to the first pre-
MUM, special prize of a silver medal.

An Experience in Raising Potatoes.
4. \. Atwood of Orange county in the Home
stand

stead,
On one of tho Green mountain farms Of
Addison county | competed for prsmium
on raising the best half-acre Of potatoes Of
fered by the county agricultural society, u
few years ago. The altitude Of the farm is
about 1000 feet higher than Lake Champaign
and too high for raising corn with profit.
Bucllwheat oats. barley, bucllwheat or In
dian wheat, po;a - and other roots grow
TO perfection. The land was dry upland,
yolloWieh loan. some with stony slbSoil or
hard pan. Two years previous | took Il
light cto) of hay. 1t was meadow land well
run oua plowcd it tie same autumn and
raised a crop OF India wheat without any
Fertilizer. The next autumn Il CD it was
lloWcd about eight inches deep. The next
spring il was narrowed we'll and covered
with 10 two-horsc loads of green manure
from my barn cellar 1t was uneached but
not much grain was fed the stock The
manure was well narrowed in and mixed
with the soil which was then plowed, har
roWed and furrowed three and half to
four feet apart ready for planting. The
seed was OF the California variety and the
largest | could select. | cut to two eyes on
each piece and dropped in the furrow, about
Is inches apart. When covered, the land
was without ilges In about eight days
the Indian wheat (Which was scattered in
| harvesting the previous autumn) came up
very thick, but no potatoes We're seen. |
took light smoothing harrow with short
teeth and dragged the land thoroughly both
ways spelling that promising crop of wheat
| The land was then allowed to rest till all
the potatoes had come up enough to follow
the rows and another good crop Of Indian
wheat could he seen. The cultivator was
then put through as near the line of potatoes
as would answer. They We're not all up
The field was allowed to rest then till the
potatoes were large enough to hoe, when
| they had dressing of hard wood ashes (un-
leached), one tablespoonful to each set; then
cultivated and hoed slightly ridging. The
| tops completely covered the ground, and no
weeds grass nor Indian wheat could he seen
! The seed had been selected and planted from
| the largest for two or three years previous
| ly. The product from the half acre was
266! bushels, or 533 bushels to the acre. One
man and boy could dig and put into the Gel
| lar 100 bushels i'll 10 hours. | raised this
variety principally to feed my stock, but
| having sold my farm the following winter
the balance on hand was sold for 60c per
bushel The society gave me the first pre-
MUM on the crop. | attribute it more to
mixing and working the soil ut the right
time and to the good seed than to the fer
tilizer it received. The India wheat, stub
BILE, roots and the decomposing sod kept the
| land light and porous all through.

CARE OF MILK AND CREAM.
Butter Making by an Advocate of Sub
merged settingsof Milk.

merged Setting of Milk.
Professor Short, at meeting of Wis
consin Farmers institute, gave expires
sion to the following: Cream not suf
flciently ripened does not produce good
keeping or good favored butter. Cream
too much ripened yields bad favored
butter. He cautioned the farmers not tc
put sweet cream in with ripened cream
Just before churning. No cream should
be churned until it has been ripened al
least twelve hours.
The chief reason for butter not keep.
ing we'll is the caseine which is permitted
to remain in it, and which should be
thoroughly washed out before removing
the butter from the churn.
Submerged setting of milk, says this
advocate, is preferable to any other sys.
TEN, as if the milk is submerged prompt.
ly, and the water kept cold, as soon as
drawn from the COW, it produces more
cream than by any other process, and
prevents contamination by any impuri-
ties in the atmosphere. Experiments at
the station have proved that milk left
out of the water ten minutes after being
drawn from the COW lost per cent. OF
cream, and that left out half an hour
lost 30 per cent. over that submerged as
quickly as possible after being drawn.
Not more than 60 per cenTvof the but.
ter contained in it can be got out OF
sweet cream by any churning process.
Sweet cream may be added to that
undergoing the ripening process, but il
should be we'll stirred up evesy morning
any cream ripening, unless ripener is
used, should be frequently~vtirred tc
keep the temperature alike through the
entire quantity.
There is no set method of telling wher
cream is properly ripened. The butter
Iaaker must determine by experience
the same as good baker knows wher
bread is raised sufficiently to bake. The
probable cause for having to churn fol
an unusual period before butter comes i:
the existence of albumen in the cream
to effect remedy add few quarts OF
water to the cream at the same tempera
ture as the cream; let it stand a few
minutes; churn again, drawing off the
water from the bottom; if not successful
repeat the process of watering, thu;
washing out the albumen.
Salt in the water is advantageous, but
not enough salt should be used to destroy
the value of the buttermilk; put mill
cans in ice water at any season to raist
the cream, but do not let cream freeze

NO. 1-PoRTABLE FENCE,

In the first cut is shown portable
fence, described in Ohio Farmer by one
who used it last season and found that it
turned hogs, sheep, cattle and horses,
and resisted all the storms. The panels
are made as shown, and coupled to each
other with stakes and pins.
The foot of each end piece is set into
the ground about 4 inches; the pointed
stake, leaning back, is driven into the
ground little, till the fenco leans. 1t is
easily set and removed, and is readily
stored away till another season. Take a
straight grained oak log 10 feet long,
and saw it into ike inch stuff, for rails;
another log 0 feet long is sawed into
13x4 inch stuff, for head pieces; the
braces are 14x2 inches. One can make
and put up Z panels day. In the cut,
the stakes and end pieces of the panels
are represented with iron rods in them,
to sink in the ground. This is better, but
not necessary.

NO. 2-PORTABLE FENCE.

Tho second cut illustrates portable
fence used in Illinois and originally de-
scribed III Prairie Farmer.
This fence is not difficult to make, is
easily handled and not hard to remove.
The fence shown is entirely made of wood
ard serves the purpose for which it was
designed. An improvement may be
gained on this plan with o combination
of wire and Stats. This combination
makes a fence moro readily removed.
The fence shown in the cut, however,
can be made on the farm from q variety
of material always at hand. The illus
trations are sufficiently plain to render a
detailed description unnecessary.

A New WAY of Plantin %.

lStanton Hitchcock. in the Homestead
The ground was plowed in the fall good
coat of well-rotted manure spread on and
last spring it was plowed again, and harrow
ed. Then with pow / made shallow fur
ows through the field, four or five inches
deep and - feet apart. The potatoes were
cut TO two eyes on piece, and We're dropped
one foot apart. A cultivator was then run
between the burrows, with wings spread so
as TO cover the potatoes completely. They
did not come upquitc as soon as those plant
ed in the usual way but did better later in
the season. AT hoeing time they We're as large
rs any of my neighbors'. Tho hoeing was
easier and at less expense. they having been
cultivated so as to throw the earth near the
plants. The ground was wet and cold. hence
we did not get as good yield as if it had
been warm and dry. But there was II
much larger yield than from the old way of
planting. They We're the finest lot of pO-
tatoes | ever saw. The tubers We're smooth
and of uniform size. | think that 10y this
method better potatoes can DE grown at
about one-third the cost of the old way.

A. ]. Elliott, Franklin Co., in the Homestead.1
The waste of fertiizng materials is the
theme of more agricultural talk than almost
anything else. This is right, for it is owing
mainly to this waste that farms become worn
out. If every New England farm could be
brought to as good state of cultivation as is
found ON some farms the tide would be turned
and our young men would come East in
stead of going West. But certanlyno farm
can be renovated unless this waste is first
stopped. The farmer should not rest until all
liquid manure is saved by using absorbents,
and all manure kept housed. There is some
times a waste in the quantity used DO to 60
loads is pnt on an acre when acre after acre
of meadow on the same farm does not pro-
duce over 800 lbs of hay Another waste
is in the method of applying manure. Some
times it is plowed under on wet land where
tho roots never reach il; again it is sprea Il
on the top of light land where it nearly all
dries up and is of no Use to the plant. A
| field of grain, seeded to grass, was partly
fortified in the winter and the remainder
in the spring, Although the manure was
all drawn from the same cellar and was all
alike, the winter application gave a good
and lasting reward, while the spring apph-
cation was almost n failure. This shows
that the value Of manure depends somewhat
on the time it is applied.
