Pease has been adjudged insane for the

liberated a few years ago after pro-

since been a safe man to have at large.
He has been working for farmer in

day last week his employer noticed that
he failed to follow directions and gave
him several suggestions. Pease made
no answer but struck the farmer over
the head with his hoe, cutting cash

The Peach Orchard.

Although peaches are not so sure a crop
as apples, and the fruit does not last 30 long
after it reaches maturity, it is very luscious
and enjoyable, and by planting varieties
ripening at different times the season may
be prolonged for several months, says I. d.
Baird in Orchard and Garden. Then this
fruit is so easily canned that, with little
care and attention, it may be had upon our
tables at all seasons almost as delicious as
when first picked. For market the peach is
profitable both in the green or fresh state,
and dried. No owner of home in suita-
BILE locality should hesitate moment as to
planting peach trees.
In planting peaches care should be taken
to give the orchard every advantage. The
best situation is an elevated one, as there is
then less danger of frost. The best soil is
one of a warm, quick nature; it should be
naturally rich, or made so by manuring.
The peach tree requires richer soil tnan the
apple, a soil with large share OF potash in
it is one of the best. 1t is better to plant
peach trees on hillside, even though the
soil may not be 30 good; it can probably be
enriched easily. The land should slope to
the nor til rather than the south, the brow
of the hill being q better location than a
steep northern or southern slope. When on
a southern exposure a few warm days may
bring out the fruit buds, and they be
killed by cold snap. have observed that
orchards on high northern slopes seldom
fail Some may claim to have richer fruit
from southern aspects. but the orchards on
the north do not fail to have fruit of good
quality also.
The culture of the peach is quite simple,
but it must be thorough and constant
neither grass or grain should be allowed TO
grow among them. Garden crops may be
grown in the orchard even with benefit, as
they are heavily MANFRED and well worked.
The best peach orchard and finest fruit
ever saw was planted on rich, warm soil,
cultivated and MANFRED every year the
| same as the corn crop, and kept well pruned.
| In selecting trees l much prefer a small
tree to large one. l have known some
| growers to select the largest, thinking there
| by to get fruit earlier. but l believe such
| persons maze q serious mistake in so doing.
| A small tree has smaller roots, which will
take the soil quicker, and not receive such a
| check from transplanting. The tree should
be kept headed in, thinned and well bal
anced over the trunk.
So far as know, there is no disease here
| known as the ''yelIows." | often see trees
have the yellows, however, from starvation
and poor culture. The borers are very bad
and their work is often laid to the ''yellows'
or some other disease. Trees should be
washed twice year with soft soap solu'
ton. We find the early varieties the most
profitable for market.

Manurlng IN the FAN.

Notwithstanding the great amount Of
rainfall in late spring and early summer,
says an exchange, there is a great difference
observable in hoed crops where manure was
applied on the surface last fall or winter.
as compared with that MANFRED Just before
blowing. Wherever drought prevails. late
manuring, especially with coarse. strawy
manure, often does more harm than good.
There would be much more winter and fall
top-dressing but for the common and mis-
taken notion that the manure wastes by eX-
posure thinly spread 20 the atmosphere.
Some loss there may be by rains washing
away the manure. but there is none except
of water by evaporation. The manure does
not ferment while spread thinly, and there
fore no ammonia is given off. Yet many a
farmer keeps manure heaps piled up and
heating around his stable doors, lest by
drawing and spreading them their strength
should evaporate. 1t is very difficult to
keep manure in heaps from losing am
monia, but the same manure spread out,
especially on grass land, merely dries.
When rains come all its strength Is there,
and whatever is soluble will be carried
down to the soil. If grass land mown now
is to be plowed for corn or potatoes next
spring there is no better time to top-dress
it to do the next crop the most good than
now

Salt for Our Domestic Auimals.

Sailing stock, says the Country Gentle
man, is matter not properly done by one
farmer in twenty. Stock need salt as much
as human beings 1t is q constituent port
Of their systems, continually being worn
out end constantly needing replenishing.
While man and beast can live without
other than the sparse supply they get natur-
ally in the food they sat, still they do better
when they have all that their appetites
crave, and they never take it in excess.
Wild animals, especially those which di-
vide the hoof, will travel scores of miles to
get salt. In early days hunters knew what
"deer-ickn meant. and they would resort
to them and lie in wait for the animals to
appear, which they always did when salt
hungry. Deer-licks were spots where salt
came TO the surface, The salt springs of
Onondaga, n. Y. were a famous derrick
A buck was fired at there and horn
knocked off. A week later it was killed in
the Mohawk valley, over 100 miles away,
before the wound had healed. There is no
doubt that deer travel many miles TO crafty
| their appetites for this useful condiment
Reasoning from analogy, it is safe to con-
clude that domestic animals desire salt lust
as ardently. When they "hanker" for it is
fair to presume that they are i'll at ease

bodily thrift. When cattle have been with
out salt some time they will gather about a
person when he goes into the field with dish
of it, and seem to be in a frenzy, running
around wildly, the strong ones knocking
over and goring the weak, and often doing
serious damage. As rule, farmers salt
their stock once a week, and that usually
On Sunday, because the day is best remem-
| bered. What would a person think to be
told that he could have his steak and other
| food salted only once a week. With such
thoughts in view, the humane man will give
his stock access TO salt constantly. Generally
| it could be kept in boxes under a shed, but
| pastures are often remote from buildings.
Some one has contrived a salt box for
such situations, which fills the need. 1t is
fastened to tree or post; has a light cover
or lid, on hinges, ana slopes from the tree.
1t is rainproof and tight. except that the
| front board is cut down in a semi-circle 80
the cattle can see the salt. They soon learn
to insert their noses and in doing 30 raise
the cover sufficiently to help themselves. 1t
is suggested that the box be hung in the
| open, for if under shade tree the stronger
animals might monopolize it too much.
| The salt box will save time, for it needs
only to be kept replendished. When out to
| pasture, stock will eat little salt every
day, and it is wrong to withhold from them
| so desirable and cheap an article.

Cosmos.

Any word of praise spoken for the lovely
cosmos is fully merited, says the American
Garden, and its late period of bloom only
adds to its value in my estimation. Late in
the spring l get my stock of cuttings
rooted, and as early as possible plant them
out in ordinary soil, having found that rich
soil causes a toe rank growth. During the
summer close attention is given to keeping
the plants closely cut back to induce COM
pact growth, otherwise it forms a long
legged and ungainy plant. Each time that
five or six inches of growth is made, it is
cut back to the first joint above the previ-
Gus cut, two shoots being nearly always
thrown out from each joint on plants SO
treated Along in September the plants
are lifted and put in good-sized pots. With
little care, they scarcely wilt, and a
month or so later they begin to bloom, last
ing for long time. Ihave had many plants
two feet high and nearly the same in
diameter, covered with the pink or white
blossoms, and this at time when bloom
was very scarce.

annoying and Improbable incidents con-
