Peaches lii the Middle South.

A complete history of peach culture in
Maryland, in n recent bulletin of the
agricultural department, shows it gen.
orally has been successful and more
profitable than other farm industries.
Instances are not uncommon where the
yearly profits have exceeded the whole
cost of the farm, ranging from 500 to
$500 per acre. Yearly averages of 500
per acre for ten years are mentioned, the
result Of skill, industry and capital. Who
ever understands peach culture and at.
tends to it well, does well. The soil and
climate of Southern Maryland are in all
respects well adapted for the production
of the peach.-Michigan Farmer.

An English writer, in explaining the

For brevity's sake we will take the left

that the most valuable parts are the

ham quarters, Nos. and 4, are Of less
value. while No. II, the shoulder or fore
end, Is worth only six pence per pound,
Or only little more than half the value OF
tho second part of the pig, and only a
little more than two-t thirds of the value
OF the third portion, the loin and ham,
or. as the latter is called in the trade, the
CANNON. If to this be added the fact
that the heads Of the pigs are valued at
from one pence to two pence per pound,
one can understand why the bacon curei
asks for pigs with heads weighing as lit.

DAVIS AND GRADY,

BY EDWARD GILLIAN.
One star was still ascendant, while one
hung
Over the pale horison in its wane:
Their glory differed on the starry plain,
But in their orbits each responsive sung,
Erewhile the music Of these spheres out
rung
The one seneseent, weary with the pain
OF discOrd5 he had tried to blunt in vain,
Caught at the gamut where death notes are
strung.
The nebuleus star it's peers vast trenody
Heard i'm lone watch and echoed it once
more,
Aye, resonant, across the vaulted sky
Unto the call his far spent answer bore,
Weep, Old South, then, an uncrOWned hero
dead;
Mourn, New South. now, that thou hast
none instead.
