Manure for Peach Trees.

First of all. the peach tree needs Il
rich soil. This may be produced by us
ing barnyard manure literally. Ground
bone has been found an excellent
fertilizer in many orchards. applied at
the rate of twenty bushels per acre.
Wood ashes have given good results.
Manure for a peach orchard cannot
have a good effect unless the soil is
friable. Some experienced peach grow
ers say that peach trees should never
be set upon a soil that has been made
suitable by undertaking. In other
words. a peach soil should be naturally
well drained. The peach cannot bear
going with wet feet" One of the
most troublesome difficulties Of the
peach is the so-called '.yellows." This
following of the foliage is often due to
the lack of nourishment in the soil. or
because the soil is too wet for the roots
to take it up. There is ano her kind of
yellows that is contagious, and may in
fest any orchard. and manure cannot
cure it. Digging up the trees and burn
ing them is the remedy.-American

nancier.
IL is believed that the Queen is the
richest woman in the world. of the
extent of her possessions only those
few in her confidence have positive
knowledge, but occasionally there is
brought to light Some little incident
that confirms the popular suspicion
that Her Majesty has most successfully
feathered her own nest. The Queen
has always surrounded herself with
the shrewdest business advisers.
and the manipulation of her
finances has been entrusted to
The closest hands. 1t is sid
tnat she has never lost a penny by I'M
wise speculation. The amount of real
estate she owns in London is simply
enormous. One block alone is said to
include both sides Of the Quadrant and
Regent street, from Piccadilly circus I
oxford street.-the most valuable prop
erty in the kingdom. Victoria began
her kingdom as poor as the average
German Princess: the lessons in fru-
gality taught her by her excellent moth
er she has never forgotten. of the cx-
~travagance of the Prince of Wales she
has a special horror. and it is said that
she locks up her wallet and loses the
key whenever she sees her son and heir
coming down the road toward the castle
to pay her a call.-Chicago Tribune.

The Farm Needs Feeding. Too.

A farmer is a feeder. says the Ger
mantown Telegraph: he feeds every
thing on his farm-the horses. cattle,
sheep, hogs, poultry. wife. children,
help, all the rats. eats and dogs, mos
%auitoes and all the vermin, and finan-
cially the farm itself. Unfortunately
he too often forgets the farm. lie
knows that if he don't feed the live
stock they will die on his hands. He
doesn't seem to know that if he don't
feed the farm it will die on his hands,
too. and that when that dies.ali the rest
will die. How curious it is that a man
should forget or neglect to feed his
land or his crops. and rs i consequence
be totally unable to feed his stock.
