The Abundance Plum for the South.

The Abundance Plum for the South.
Along with one or two other varieties
this plum should be extensively planted in
the south, for 1t seems specially adapted to
our climate. 1t calnot be commended too
highly. The trees commence to fruit early,
bearing an immense quantity Of large,
luscious plums that are as salable as pears,
peaches or figs in any market.
This Abundance" Tor tin) plum is
from Japan, and has been grown in the
sonth long enough to demonstrate its value
IL succeeds everywhere under proper treat

three years old it bears freely, when planted
on proper soil and looked after. 1t is good
keeper and al excellent kind for Gaming or
preserving.
The Abundance plum can be had from
various nurserymen north and south, either
on peach or plum stock. Northern nursery
men commend the peach stock, but in the
south the plum STOCK is preferable, and the
Mariana stock is as good IL not better
than any One-year-old trees can be had at

eighteen feet apart each way. This would
allow Of 1874 trees to the acre, and they
should be set out In November or Decem-
Der.
While the Abundance we believe, is the
best Of the oriental piums for the south
and should be planted more extensively
than the others, still there are several va
rieties of this type that are we'll worthy of

Preserving Dried Peaches In the

two or three bushels Of dried peaches and
would like to know the very best way to
preserve them until spring.
Get from the grocer a number of large
paper bags (manilla if YOU can, other wise
any made out Of good paper such as will
hold eight or ten pounds of the dried fruit.
The fruit being perfectly dry expose TO the
sun for several hours and put in the bags
and tie with a strong string. Hang the
bags Of fruit in a dry place. Now and
then take down and expose to the sun for

If any words are present. If such should be
discovered hang the bags In as close place
as possible and burn quarter or half a

the bags be surrounded with the fumes Of
the sulphur for a day, then put in the sun
again for q day.

The REPRESENTATIONS No.es.

In the vegetable and fruit garden this is
a month of considerable activity in this
section. 1t may be regarded as the begin
ming OF the gardening year. 1t is TOO late
now to SOW or plant out any crop of any
value with the expectation of making it
before the new year. IL is true that there
are several leaf plants that are grown for
green's, that might be sown at the very first
OF the month, and ordinarily could be
brought to condition suitable for use as
greens, before severe weather sets
in, but such a venture would imply
neglect of providing such plants AS
the proper time in August or September.
A destructive autumn drought such as oc-
Cured in 1884 may sometimes occur, to
prevent the establishments of even tur-
nip crop in August aud September, and
proper seasons may occur early enough in
October to justify the venture, and we
have known a number of winters when
the weather in November and December
was so mild as to allow of uninterrupted
growth Of all plants, both tender aud hardy,
that occupied the soil at that time. such
seasons are, OF course, abnormal, and come
only TO take one by surprise. One cannot
anticipate their recurrence.
As rule, all sowings or paintings made
this month are OF hardy plants, made with
the view of securing early crops in spring
or these there are only two or three that
are likely to withstand so low u temperature
as TO- or l2s or even several degrees mig O.
than this, il freezing and thawing is re.
peated for several consecutive days. Again
there are a nsmber of half-hardy plants
that are liable to succumb to a temperature
OF 2O0 or 22o, OF Whereabouts. 1t is not pos
sible to say with any degree of accuracy,
what degree OF cold is ia sal to any particu-
lar plant, What is harmless at one time
may be destructive at another. Conditions
of soil, air, and of the plant itself, as in
f1uenced by certain conditions OF soil and
air factors in determining the possible in-
jury that follows freezing.
Growing our plants on basis of resist
ance to frost we find few that are able to
Withstand uninj ured the severesg cold that
our climate usually affords. Spinach,
onions, collard. kale, English pease. turlips
and carrots are TO be named as the hardest
OF those usually grown in the garden. Not
SO hardy are cabbage, cauhhowers, beets,
parsnips and satisfy. Ofteatimes these are
carried safely through our average
winters by making early so1ings or
settings and usually a slight mulch of
straw at the period of coolest wea ther,
which usually occurs late in December or
during the month of January.
On the other hand. abnormally severe
winters. like 1856, destroyed everything
above named except spinach and onions
growing from the sets.

SAVING MANURE.

Manure lies at the root OF SUGGEST ul
husbandry in all of the oil Ter States.
The virgin prairie soils of the green
West are fast becoming impoverished,
under the influence of remorseless crop
ping, unattended by any adequate return
of fertility. Therefore il is merely a
question of time when the Western
farmer is destined to find himself in the
same straits, regarding the use of man
ure, as his Eastern contemporary. Large
crops everywhere require liberal fertiliza-
ton. Every farmer must, to be sue
cessful, make all the manure possible
from his domestic animals, and preserve
it IN as perfect condition as may be,
until it can be applied to the ground.
Scattered here aud there over the hill
sides, and among the valleys of New
England, there still remain many of the
oldtime cow barns, though the hands of
their builders have long been dust. One
can scarcely drive through the country
in any direction without seeing one or
more of these ancient structures, the
chief Inconvenience of which, from
modern point of view, consists in the
absence of convenient pits in which
manure may be stored. The dung, as
fast as made, Is thrown through windows
or openings behind the COWS, where it
accumulates in heaps, against the build
ings. Here it is exposed to the wasting
effects of rain and sun, frost and heat.
The sites of these barns being usually
somewhat elevated, it is not unusual,
after a shower, to see a stream of dark
fluid, sharged with fertility, flowing into
some brook or swamp, where it is for
ever lost to the purpose Of agriculture.
What makes it worse is that the urine
and more soluable portions of the
manure (Which, from the very reason of
their solubility, are most valuable) are
soonest wasted by teaching. Manure
managed in the above manner loses at
least one-half its value. Now, with
very little labor and expense, all this
waste may be avoided. First, remove
the soil to the depth Of two feet from
the entire surface, which the bottom of
the manure pile is to cover, replacing it
with some good dry absorbent, which
will catch and hold all the liquids.
Next construct lean-to roof against the
barn, sufficiently high and large enough
to protect the manure. Any rough or
secondhand boards are good enough
for the purpose. These may be covered
with cheap shingles, tin or anything
water proof. The thin sheet iron, such
as Is used in making caustic soda casks,
makes a tight and durable roof, and can
usually be bought of soap manufacturers
for a song. The manure, even when
kept out of doors, may be kept practi-
cally without loss. Matters will be
greatly facilitated if cows are always
furnished with bedding suffi ;lent to alb
sorb the valuable materials il the urine.
