HORTICULTURE
THE PEACH ORCHARD.

Prof W. F. Massey, writing to the
Rural New Yorker, says:
"Ciean culture certainly promotes
wood growth; but there comes a time
when wood growth should be allowed
to ripen, and cultivation should cease.
I should cultivate a peach orchard in
the bfst manner, but shallow up the
first week in July. But should then
do better than allow the natural grass
to grow, for should SOW the orchard to
COW peas, aided by dressing Of 800
pounds of a mixture of 500 pounds Of
acid phosphate to one part of muriate
or high grade sulphate of potash per
acre. This will give a heavy growth
of pea vines. l should let these die
upon the land, and remain all winter
as a soil cover. The soil in the South
should never be allowed to lie bare
during the winter, for it will waste
fertility faster than in summer cult

vines will give, and at the same time,
will furnish nitrogen for a vigorous
growth the next season. If you have
a good orchard be content with a good
fruit crop and do not attempt to
make a hay crop at the same time.
Grow the trees for peaches, and grow
tho rooc for the heDefit 0f the Deach
trees. 1t would damage the soil, and
therefore, damage the trees to work it
during the winter. The dead pea vines
will prevent the washing, and the cUl-
tivation would only increase it. You
would far better get the nitrogen from
the pea vines than from artificial fer
tilizers. You need to fear the lack of
potash and phosphoric acid more than

THE FARMERS BOY.

The boy on the farm is just about the
same kind OF boy you will find every
where. He is susceptible to the same
influences, and. given the same oppor-
tunity, he will accomplish about the
same results as his fellow in the town
CT city. With perhaps this to his ad-
vantage: The farmer boy is nearer to
natures great heart, and comes to IN
derstand her ways; and again, the soli-
tude of the farm gives him opportunity
for communion with self as we'll as
with nature. and he is apt, if he is a
thinking boy, to come to better under
standing with himself and to know his
powers and limitations b9tter than his
urban prototype, says the Southern
Farm.
Boys everywhere need the etimulus
OF self interest, and this is too often de-
MED thao on the farm. What he does
goes into the general fund, as it were,
aud he does not see how much he is do
ing to swell It. II the farmer would
ke2p his boy on the farm and make
ham q factor in it's successful opera
I'll .ns; ti5 the young man to teke his
pI"ce and carry Oil the work when he
Is gone, Or keep Linn from seeking G.
home and fortune out in the great
world so full Of doubt and uncertainty,
ne should at an early period of the
boy g career give him something to do
for himself, the returns from which
will be his own.
II the farmer raises sheep, then a
few we'll bred sheep; if horses and cat
tie, some colts and a COW or two; if
near market, a coop of chickens, or
a garden plot for his own cultivation
something that shall be the boys own
peculiar property and the returns from
which shall be his to do with as he will.
Not only will he grow in independence
and learn for himself the lessons of
failure and success; he will have an
enthusiasm for the work in hand,
which of itself will be a guarantee of
success; without which life itself, in it's
best sense, is a failure, and a vexed
problem in many homes will be forever
settled.

the excess Of nitrogen. A rapid growth
caused by the fixation Of nitrogen in
the absence of a balanced amount OF
potash may give trouble; but if the
ration be balanced, as the cattle man
says, the growth will be balanced. If
you stop cultivation early in July, the
mass Of pea vines will be sufficient
check and will cause the growth to
ripen up as we'll, so that its exuberance
will do no damage. 1t is the winter
washing that you have to deal with,
and the winter washing can be best
prevented by q dense soil cover, and
we know of no other way so eff c5ive.
If you find that you are getting an ex-
cess of nitrogen by this treatment, you
can then NOV the peas and depend
upon the atubOIe to stop the washing;
but / would far rather keep the whole
mass On the sell.

HOW TO DESTROY TRUSTS.

Trusts, with other monOpClies which
destroy competition, can be controlled
or destroyed either by government in
reference, Or, on the homeopathic
theory of like curing its like, by the
organization Of opposition trusts to
produce or manufacture and deal in
the same articles Or commodities now
controlled by the older combines. Care,
Of course, being taken by the State that
the charters Of the new shall prohibit
them from having any connection,
agreem ments or business relations with
the older bodies, and making it fel
ony to violate their charters. In this
way competition would be restored,
says the Southern Farm.
To illustrate: There is nothing TO
hinder cotton growers from establish
ing tie nanufactory, or a bagging
factory grOc8rs, wholesale and retail,
could very readily combine and estab
lish a great sugar refinery. and it is re
ported that they are now doing SO; 90,
also, hard ware dealers might combine
and establish a great nail factory :;
paper dealers could do the same as to
paper, and thus the arrogance and Op
pressive exactions Of some leading
trusts could be resisted and their power
destroyed.
However, some trusts Can only be
controlled Or destroyed by the action
of the government, acting in it's SOW
ereign capacity, as the representative
Of the people and the protector of their
rights and interests. Thus acting, it
has the supreme right to controt Or de.
stroy whatever is contrary TO sound
public policy, or is antagonistic to the
common welfare, and whenever the
people choose they can elect an admin
istrati0n that will take such action as
indicated. Government alone can con
troll or destroy such com 0inations as
the coal trust. and others, the names OF
which will readily occur to the reader,
and it is probably only only question
Of time, and not very long time,
either, when the people will elect an
administration that will carry out
their will and destroy their enemies.

WOMAN ON THE FARM.

Will the new woman" desire to be
a farmer, and do the work On a farm
that it has been supposed men alone
could do? asks the Ploughman. Why
not2 Modern farming does not depend
upon strong muscles nor an iron con
stltutioD, as it once did. We doubt
whether it is any harder work to ride
moving machine than to bend over a
sowing machine or washtub all day.

some, tedious work Of milking churn-
ing and caring for the butter, and so,
with the aid of modern appliances,
what is left that women cannot do on
the farm9 There are thousands of wo
men in our congested cities who are

ters than the hardest work on a farm
would entail. While we believe the
highest work of woman is homemak
ing, yet If it is her destiny to be CON-

PEACOCK FARMING.

Raising peacocks and phe8sants is q
new business in this country; to supply
their wants a number Of miilionaires
are importing eggs from England.
George Vanderbilt is amang the
number. He has already lot of pea
cocks of the breed curiously called
'.japanned" Perhaps because their
feathers have a metallic, lacquer like
guttering, they are often wrongly
spoken of the Japanc S >, or Japae, pea
cock.
Theodore Havemeyer has recently
imported a lot of Pheasant eggs of the
choicest breed. He sent them to his
model farm, Mahwak, New Jersey, al d
then invited a company Of bantam
heps to hatch out the young birds.
Peacocks, although not common
sight In this country, are occasionally
seen, says the Boston Globe. Pneas
ants are even more rare. But, as al
ready said, q demand has arisen fer
them and a lucrative business should
be carried on in dealing with both the
eggs and the birds.
In Stuff Dix, England, there is a pheas
ant news upon one estate where more
than 100, 600 eggs are sold annually.
To visit Warwick Castle is to see pea
cocks in ali their glory; indeed, the
place is famous for these birds, Of which
the handsomest are white. Having be-
come possessed of a pair of peatowl,
they require very little management,
but must be carefully fed, If not in
confinement they pick up pretty sub
stantial living for themselves. II must
be seen that they have plenty of water
and grain and occasionally fresh vege-
tables. In winter they must have
sheltered home. In summer they avail
themselves of the sheltered trees and
in some secluded nook the nest is made.
The hen should be left to her own medi
tations and not interfered with while
she is on the nest Matching the eggs.
A peafowl allowed to make her own
nest in a hedge always brings out a
stronger and better brood than one that
has nest in the house. When hatched
the young brood should not be removed
until the next day, feeding not being
REQUIRED. The first food should be egg
and milk, equal parts beaten together,
and heated until it gets into soft mass.
This is given with a little millet or
wheat. When one adds sufficient to
ones stock to sell eggs as we'll as birds
ones bank account should assume
healthy proportions.
Bringing up pheasants by hand Is an
extensive industry in England and
there is no reason why it should not
thrive here. The eggs are collected
from birds kept in a NEW and are
placed under domestic hens. Care on
the part of the keeper must be exer
cised after the brood is old enough to
wander about, lest, falling victims to
heredity, they wander off and take a
wild life. Indeed they can only be
kept from wandering in every direc
tion by being plentifully supplied with
food, which must be scattered In the
places where it is desired they should
stay.

ALL -OUr THE FARM.

A successful farmer gave a note of
warning the other day in regard to the
apple crop. The short crops of the
past two years have had the effect of
almost exterminating the worm. The
apples this year are remarkably sound
aud free from grubs To prevent re-
currence of the evil, apple growers
should not allow the fruit to lie under
the trees for any length of time. 1t is
better to use them for food for stock
than to wait the chance of a sale at the
risk OF producing a plague of grub.
The cultivation of flowers teaches
lessons of industry, patience and hope.
WHAT q cheering inflence a bouquet
has upon invalid friends; it seems "a
Tighten their sufferings and speak
peace to their troubled minds. Where
we see a home surrounded by flowers,
artitically arranged and well cared for.
we are led to think OF the intelligence
and refinement of the inmates.
Peach trees trained to take on q low
growth produce more fruit of better
quality, and they better resist dry
weather and disease. Such trees shade
the ground more thoroughly around
the trunk, and the foliage protects the
fruit on the lower branches from the
fierce sun. Moreover, the fruit can be
picked more easily.
Coal ashes make @ good mulching
material for gooseberries and currants
Where goose eberries, especially, are ex-
posed to the sun, they should be pro
tected by a mulch all around them
Almost anything will do for the pur-
pose if put on heavily enough. Other
smell fruits would be likewise bene
flied.
A good way Of putting up beets and
mangels for winter feeding is to put
them in pit deep enough to keep out
the frost. Have the pit four or five
feet wide and pile up the beets to the
depth of four feet at the peak. It is
| said the tops snould not be cut too
| closely if they are to keep we'll.
A good mulch is indispensable in the
strawberry patch; it checks evapora,
tion and saves it for the plants. Fresh

the corn and potato fields, is the poor

SAVING THE MANURE,

The question of whether the manure
should be compOsted OF at once hauled
30 the folds must be decided in great
meesIre by Individual circumstances
Each plan has it's advocates, but the
decision depends very much on whether
one has facilities for saving the manure
II good condition. If it is to be thrown
out of the stable in careless, loose piles,
to stand until needed in the spring, we
would by all means advise that it be
hauled at once and spread on the land
where it is intended to remain. IT this
land is level, nothing will be lost from
the manure. There is no extra hand
ling, and when it's elements are dis
solved by the rains they Immediately
sink into the soil. Hence under these
conditions it is both economical and
convenient to haul out and spread es
fast as the manure accumul 3tes. If,
on the other hand, one has we'll con,
structed and sheltered manure pit, it is
undoubtedly an advantage to compost
the manure before hauling to the fields
But several conditions must be care
fully complied with before this plan
can be made thoroughly effective. The
pit should be in such a situation that
the rain waters from the different
buildings will not run into it, and it
should have a shelter over it. The
foor should be of hard clay, tramped
firm and solid, and made to slope from
all sides towards the center in order to
more effectively hold the liquid from
the manure. In putting the manure
in, care should be taken to mix the
different kinds. Horse manure alone
heats very rapidly and is apt to fire
fang. The addition of the manure from
the COW stables and hog pens retards
this fermentation, and there is less
danger from overheating. The mass
should not allowed to become too dry,
but should not be kept too wet; mod
