Peach Buds


MILFORD NECK, Mar. s, 1891.
Mr.. EDITOR "A careful exanIina-
ton of tue peach buds In my orchard
of six hundred trees, six years old and
in good condition. gives the following
results: Troths, IS per cent alive;
Early Yorks. 20; Amelia. so; Noun
tain Rose, "a; Crawfords's Early, 46;
Nixon, So; Stumps, 80; Thurbur, 9Oi
SmOek, 81; Geary's HOldon, 81 Craw-
ford's Late, 81; Reeves FavOrite, IS;
Yellow st. John, 81. The examina-
tion was made. not from one tree Of a
kind, but from several; and that to
from limhs taken from each side Of
the trees, north and sUuth,sO as to get
a correct general average, which, as
you will perceive, is 57.7 per cent
nearly, in the aggregate of the thirteen
varieties examined. 1t is perhaps
safe to say that not more than half has
been, n,killed, but the RubicOn has hardly
been passed. 1. r. JESTER.
This week s. John Abbott made a
systematic examination of his peach
buds by varieties. aud took as basis
100 buds. He found alive percentage
as follows: Troth's, so; st. Johns, SO;
Mountain Rose, 3S; Foster, 10; Early
Crawford, 5; Old Nixon, SO; Reeves
Favorite, SO; Walkers Variegated, 83;
Brandywine, 25; Stump of the World,
25; Lale Crawford,2; Prize, Z; Stevens
late red, 20; Smock. u; Fox Seeding,

per cent alive on a five year old or
chard.

There's a pleasant and a sure way
Of doing it. It's with DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They're the best
Liver Pill ever made, and q prompt
and effective remedy for Sick
Headache, Bilious Headache, Con-
stipation, Indigestion, Bilious At
tacks, and all arrangements of the
stomach, liver and bowels. They
cleanse and renovate the system,
quietly but thoroughly. They reg
ulate the system, too-they don't
upset it, like the old-fashioned pills.
These arc purely vegetable and per-
fectly harmless. One "Pellet" a
dose. They're the easiest to take,
and the mildest in operation-the
smallest in size, but the most eff
cient in their work.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, because they're guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is

BRAZIL AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
Cost OF Her Exhibits VIII Bs Second Only
to That of the United States.
WAsHISGToN, Oct. 27--The President Of
Brazil has asked from the congress of that
republic an appropriation of s350,000 to
pay the expenses of its representation at
the Chicago fair. Tho original estimate
was 1925. 900, but the plans Of the Brazil
ian commission, as developed, contemplate
so extensive an exhibit that the larger
sum is required to carry them into effect.
Recent advices from Brazil indicate that
there will DO very little opposition to the
appropriation in congress, and In addition
to this sum at least $3.50, 900 has bean or
will be appropriated by the legislatures Of
the several states for their independent ex-
hibits.
II seems prcbabl that Brazil will ex-
pend more money in her representation at
the exposition than any nation except the
United States, and more than any of the
states of this country except Illinois The
governor Of the state Of Amszonss, Brazil,
has asked the legislature for an appropria-
tion of S25, ,O00 In addition to the amount
appropriated by the general government,

Chicago. The colony Of Dutch Guiana
proposes to spend thirty times as much on
its exhibit at Chicago in 1893 as IL spent at
the late Jamaica exposition, where the
colony obtained gold medal for its dis
play

Chilean insurgents here, dated Iquique,
July 18th: "There has been battle in
Coquimbo. The only combat that has
taken place has been between our van

tors army, to the south of Vallenar, in
the valley of Huasco. In the combat
the troops of the dictator fed. Our
troops occupy the whole province OF
Atacama."
TheIfollowing cablegram was received
this morning, dated Iquique, July 10th ::
"Our army continues its accoutrement
with the arms received from Europe.
The greatest enthusiasm and discipline
reigns. Large numbers of volunteers
come to our ranks daily. Sup
plies continually arrive by steamers
from California, Peru and all parts
OF the Pacific. Provisions are abundant
in Iquique. The nitrate works are in
great activity. The expectation of salt
petre produces an abundant revenue
We are informed that the resources of
Balmaceda are constantly diminishing.
The people are terrorized by the outrage
and fusilades committed. There is
great discomfort in the dictator's army.
A few days ago revolution was almost
successful in Balmaceda's fleet. The
vessels and their crews are impatient to
join their comrades who fight for the
constitution and the laws ~

Earl Spencer, formerly lord lieutenant
