Manure for Peach Trees.

First of all, the peach tree needs a
rich soil. This may be produced by u.s.
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 good effect unless the soil is
trlable. 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
we'll 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 another 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
Agricult,,rist.

The Farm Need. Fee.,,n~ ron

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, cats and dogs, mos
qultoes and all the vermin, and finan-
cially the farm itself. Unfortunately
ne too often forgets the farm. He
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, all the rest
Will die. How curious it is that a man
should forget or neglect to feed his
land or his crops, and as a consequence
be totally NIable to feed his stock,

LONDON, August 1.-THE rivalry between

ago that the ecclesiastical authorities
of Treyes. in Rhenish Prussia, were
about 10 exhibit q garment claimed 10
have been worn by the Saviour, than the
French were alive 10 deprive the Germans as
far as possible of the honor and profit. Paris
also possesses coat said TO have belonged to
Christ. Arrangements were promptly made
for the exhibition of the relic. Sunday WAS
chosen as the opening day, several days
ahead Of the first public view at
Treves. Great throngs of people went
from Paris and other localities TO see the
holy yestment The exhibition was in every
way successful and is said to have caused
proportlonate chagrin at Treves, which will
probably lose multitude of expected French
Catholic visitors. The preparations for the
public exhibitions in Ireyes are going on hur-
riedly and will be completed within the APP
