Seeding Peaches.

Judge Smuel Miller of Missouri, q
noted orchardist, and q man one sees in
imagination with pen constantly in his
hand, writes TO Popular Gardening that
in his opinion the most substantial peach
orchard can only be had by planting pits
directly where the trees are to stand
The orchard may be purely Seeding
orchard (Which is an orchard with long
est life) or it may be budded or grated
orchard, but in either case there should
be no moving and transplanting of trees.
A Seeding peach tree, SO called, is tree
that springs from the seed and grows
directly on to bearing, without further
doctorinG of any kind. 1t Is simply q
natural tree. 1t may not bear the very
best quality of fruit, for the peach does
not always come true to seed, but it is
quite sure to be handy and long-lIfed
tree. He attributes this to the fact that
never having been moved its tap root has
not been disturbed or damaged.
But while the Seeding is not always
sure to give as good fruit as that of the
parent tree, it very often does, and in
some cases it even improves on the orig
inal. On his own grounds are two trees
just in bearing-fruited for the first time
last year. They are seedlings of the
Baltimore beauty, and they actually
surpass the original in point of excel
lenee. This year he planted new or
chard with seeds of rare peaches sent
him from a distance. The young trees
are nicely up, and will grow on to fruit
age without budding. When he sees the
fruit, if it does not suit him, he will bud
with something that does, but there will
be no transplanting. A little time may
be lost, but it will be more than made up
in the longer lease of life that the trees
Will have.
With reference to culture for the
young seeding peach ORCHARD, Judge
Miller advises to cultivate well from the
very start; head back half the previous
years growth each spring. When fruit
ing begins thin out the fruit when too
much sets. A young orchard without
crop of fruit should not be cultivated too
late in the season, as it will have ten
dency to make late growth, which a Sc
we're winter, IL following, will injure,
but if in full crop the cultivation should
continue throughout the season; that is :,
the surface of the land should be stirred
there should be no deep culture. This
stirring acts as a mulch, and prevents
the land from drying out, as baked land
would do.

think of for 'em, but it all did no
good-his mouth only got sorer and
sorer. Finally neighbor told me that
a buokskin string tied tightly around his
tail, and left on for a few days, would
cure the hampers. So 1 tied on the
string as directed and turned the horse
out on the range. 1t rained that night,
and next day the sun came out dry and
hot. That string got wet when it rained I,
and next day when the sun shined out 1t

DIVIDE UP THE PASTURES.

. Lesson to Texas Written from Chicago
that should be Read.
Mr.. B. F. Fly writing to the Goliad
Guard from Chicago, says:
''Your large pasture men ought to di-
vide ND their pastures into small farms,
and if they can II get settlers any other
WAY. thev ought to offer them a home
for wear or two for nothing. AT the
end or that time the farm is in good
shape and can be easily rented. To the
biz pasture owner l would say: Divide
your pastures into small farms; put q
cottage on each farm and offer half of
them fer sale at low figures and on such
terms as to make it an object for farm
er TO leave his home in this country and
20 settle with you. Divide your pasture
M into farms of 100 acres and sell half of
these farms at $40 an acre or even less,
if necessary, payable 500 cash and bal
ance in ten years, with interest on de<
ferreu payments. That is the way
homes are secured in this country, ana
it proves to be n God s send both TO the
community and TO the man seeking the
home, while the man who does the sell
ing gets as much for his land as it is
worth at the time of sale. AT the ex-
pTation of few years the property has
enhanced TO two or three times its first
value. The remaining half of the big
pasture man s property is then worth as
much as the entire pasture was worth be-
fore he induced the farmer to settle on
the small farm, because the farmer has
) cultivated the small portion under his
care and has shown that the soil is rich
and productive. Other farmers come to
settle in the same locality, and
the first thing you know you
have large settlement Of
hardwOrkiug, honest, thrifty farmers

from starving TO death that you may

two cents per pound. Those same two
acres of ground planted in cotton would
bring you 500 at least.

scheme like this and III guarantee his
name will be honored for all time to
come. Your people have got TO learn to

Eggs on the Farm.

This is a branch of the farming BUSH
ness that, as rule, receives entirely too
small degree of thought. The product
may be comparatively small, but, says
the Indiana Farmer, 1t IS the most mar
ketaDle product that the farm yields.
Eggs are ready for the market the min
ute they are laid, and the sooner they
are gotten to market the better. Moth
ing else that the farm produces comes in
as handy as good supply of eggs. They
require no cultivation, no hoeing, prun-
ing or churning, but are in a salable con-
ditiOn as soon as laid. With plenty of
eggs on the farm there is host of good
things in the Kitchen, and money in the
family purse. Gathering eggs is like
picking up cents. They are as good as
cash and can quickly be turned into
dollars and cents.

Those Bad Agricultural Fairs.

Mr.. Frank c. Dyer has, in the New
England Farmer, an article on agrioul-
tural fairs which proves that he rather
clearly understands what he is writing
about. He says very many people OBJ
ject to them on the score of their immor-
alitY. They advise marked change in
the usual management of fairs gener-
orally, but few of the changes urged
would very well work out to practice.
In most cases they are people who know
only about as much regarding the sue
eessful running of agricultural fairs as
they do about the management of q
stock exchange, yet they profess per-
feet understanding of them, and assure
us that they are really of no sub
stantial benefit to the country 4,
but rather, on the other hand
places where sin and vice are foster
ed by letting shows and amusement de-
vices on the grounds for the edif1oation
of large class who never look toward
the cattle stalls or sheep pens. They
tell US, too, that horse racing is per-
nicious practice and ought TO be frowned
down and set upon. They seemingly
overlook the fact that agricultural So
cieties offer premiums that must be
paid, and to be paid there must be money
sufficient to do so, and to get the money
there must be a good attendance at
the fairs, aud to get that there must
be something to induce people to attend.
Fine cattle and sheep, phenomenal
pumpkins, the ten thousand and one ar
ticles of ladies' manufacture that adorn
floral hall are necessary, of course, but
would thousands of people come to see
them alone? No, indeed! And the very
ones who so loudly advocate pure agri-
cultural exhibitions would be the
first ones to kick ana the last ones
to lend helping hand to assist
the society if it came out behind as it
most assuredly would. They are class
who try to make one admission
ticket do double duty, and when failing
in that, Will let their wives go in while
they look around for convenient OPEN
ing in the fence, where, uuperoeived by
the police, they can crawl in. Many
fence jumpers, the writer says, have
been brought before him, he being a
magistrate, and in Dy no means few
instances these were people who had
shouted longest and loudest against
horse trots and side shows on the grounds.
There must be something, says the
writer, to induce all the people to visit
the country fair-their patronage is in
dispensable. To pursue any other course
in the management would be simply sui
cidal; the trotting, etc., is not for those
who do not approve of it, but simply to
secure the patronage of those who do,
and who would not extend that patron
age ii those features were left off. With
out these features the attendance, which
with them numbers thousands, would
dwindle down to hundreds, and when
they heard from the outside how dull
the fair was, and how few were attend
ing, those agricultural fair reformers
would promptly mars hal themselves
among the most conspicuous absentees.

The St. Louis Market.

Texas cattlemen, who have been ship
ping to the st. Louis market, express
themselves well pleased with the returns
from their cattle, and there is growing
sentiment in favor of that market. The
fact of the matter is, there has been too
many cattle going to Chicago aud too few
to st. Louis. If the shipments were
more evenly divided, SO as not to glut
one and starve the other market, the
prices would be better. Cattle buyers
are not going to collect at a market
where the supply is so far below the de-
mand that they can not be furnished
with what they want, and buyers who
swarm around a glutted msrkst are
going to take advantage of that fact to
get cattle just as low as possible. Make
an even distribution of shipments and it
will be for the best.

The Sick Horse.

If there is anything in this world de-
serving OF real human sympathy it is the
sick horse out in some backwoods settle
ment. Everybody hearing of his case
comes to see him, and everybody knows
exactly what ails him and has never
failing remedy. He has as many differ
emit diseases and must suffer as many diff
ferent remedies as there ara different Wis
itors, foor fellowi When finally he dies q,
thu last disease reported gets the credit
for having killed him, while the Creme
dies applied get through without
blame.
In rare instances the horse gets well
despite the infections, but he is more
apt than otherwise to find himself
MANNED for life in some way or other.
The latest case of this latter kind is re-
ported from up in Indiana. A man s
horse was attracting no small degree of
attention from the fact that he presented
the singular spectacle of horse with his
tail cropped off within three or four
inches of where it would change from
tail TO spinal column. The observers
were full of curiosity TO learn how it had
happened sswell - said the obliging

DEFECTIVE WALLS.
San Francisco's New City Hall Undergoing

SAN Francisco, CAL. June l4.-At a

yesterday Architect Wright, appointed
to inquire into the condition of the con-
tract work performed on the walls of the
northwest wing of the new city hall,
presented his report. He stated that
forty three openings had been made IN
different parts of the wing and one
fourth of these were found to be filled
with rubbish instead of solid material.
In the brickwork was also found most
serious defects in four great piers sup
porting the heavy iron girders, which
would have to carry weight of $50 tons
each. The piers are filed with rubbish
for part of their height, and would have
TO be taken down. An arch was also
found defective. A communication from
Contractors Mccain and Riddell was
read in which they expressed willing
