LARGER PEACHES.
Thinning Out by Hand Is the Best Way
to Produce Them.

Thinning Out by Hand Is the Best Way
to Produce Them.
Mr.. j. II. Hale, one of the greatest
peach growers IN the United States, in
speaking of the manner in which he
makes n success of the business, is re-
ported as saying that one must thin by
hand. He puts stepladders under the
trees and puts boys on them whose
bump of destructiveness is large and
tells them TO go ahead. He begins when
the peaches are three-quarters of an
inch in diameter and takes everything
that is curculio-stung and diseased.
These he carts away and burns. The
rest that are taken off are dropped on
the ground and left there.
In future, ne says, three or four-year-
old peach trees shall not bear over $50
peaches; four or hve-year-old trees not
over 500, and full-grown trees not over
500. That means six inches apart; 500
peaches on tree will make six or eight
baskets of fancy fruit. Three thousand.
peaches to a tree won't make more or
sell for more money, and the trees are
ruined.
Iedcn trees are painted on good or
binary corn or wheat land in fair state
of fertility. The holes for the trees are
dug about twice as large as necessary to
receive the roots and big handful of
fine ground bone is scattered at the bot
tom of the hole and two or three more
on the dirt, and that is worked in
around the roots at the time the tree
is planted. Then is put on muriate of
potash. The next Year is broadcasted
from 1000 to 1,5O0 pounds per acre of
fine ground bone and from 400 to 500
pounds of muriate of potash or its
equivalent, and this is kept up every
year whether the trees bear or not.
1T is pretty liberal feeding, but it pays
TO be liberal with trees" says Mr.. Hale.

A friend OF Representative Culberson,
Of Texas, related the following inci-
dent: "Whcn Mr. Culberson was pros
ccuting attorney" he said, there was
q criminal statute universally disre-
gardcd. The indictment of q WE'LL
known man for violation of this law
was secured through the efforts of Mr..
Culbcrson, who prosecuted the case
with more vigor than almost any he
had ever conducted, succeeding in Sc
curing a conviction and sentence TO the
penitcntiary. Then he left town and
10 one knew where he had gone until
he and the prisoner, who had been
taken TO the penitentiary. returned to-
gcther. Mr.. Culberson had gone to the
governor, obtained a pardon and met
the convict at the penitentiary with it.
The law had been indicated and there
were no moro violations of that statute
in Jefferson"

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

All fruit for market should be handled
carefully.
Keep up planting of sweet corn for
roasting ears.
When there is crop of fruit send only
the best TO market, and have il in good
condition.
While no variety of plums is free from
curculio, keeping the trees healthy vii,
help materially.
Peach trees suffer most and pea~ and
cherry least from standing in a thick
growth of grass.
If pruning is neglected for the fist
few years the removal nf large limbs
may be necessary.
If piece of land is TO be planted to
small fruits this fall grow some hard
crop on il this summer.~St. Louis Re

A London correspondent OF the Paris
Messenger, in speaking of the usual and
general exodus from that city during
the Whitsuntide holidays, says that the
excursions from the metropolis were al
most wholly made on wheels. On Whit
Monday it was impossible to hire or
even buy bike in London. The rail-
ways begin to feel the effect of this form
of transportation, which exceeds the
most extreme anticipations. At the
same time the rush for bicycles was a
sort of relief for railway, omnibus and
other vehicle passengers, which the
rapid transit companies, however, did
less enjoy than their fugitive customers.

The method of adding something to
the cream that win destroy the bacteria
Or prevent their growth, no matter how
warm the weather or how distant the
market, appeals to the dealer on account
Of it's cheapncss, simplicity and effec-
hyeness. Cream in which sufficient
quantity of boric acid OF salicylic acid
has been introduced, for these are sub
stances generally used MS preservatives
of cream, will remain perfectly sweet
for an indefinite time even in the hot
test summer temperature. These chem
icals produce no decided change in the
taste or appearance of the cream, and
il is no wonder that this method has
sometimes been adopted by those who
have seen in it n solution of the only
difficulty in the way of extending lu-
crative cream trade. What, then, are
the objections to this method? The
first and the very decided objection that
will occur to the consumer is, that
when paying for sweet and wholesome
cream he does not want il diluted with
anything else. In view of the compare
lively small quantity of-the preserva-
tive that has to be used, this objection
might be overcome by an appeal to the
reason of the consumer if he did not
have reason as well as prejudice on his
side. If it could be shown that the pre-
sentative was as harmless as the cream
itself there would, perhaps, be no rea-
sonable objection TO it, but the best that
can be claimed for these chemical pre-
servatives is, that while they are sure
death to bacteria, they also endanger
the health and derange the digestive
apparatus of human beings. Among
those qualified to judge of the effect of
these substances when taken into the
stomach of human beings there is
practically but one opinion, and that
is, that the constant consumption of
them is harmful even if taken in small
quantities. In certain cases where per-
sons are suffering from disease of the
digestive organisms the use of cream
preserved by this method is positively
dangerous Review.

A word About GROCERY butter.

Every man takes good, sweet butter
to market. (He thinks he does.) He
knows he does, because his groceryman
tells him so, and he puts it in the box
with all of ths good butter, and his wife
made it; how could it be otherwise. But
he has to take low price for it, there
was so much of the same quality on the
market, so they do not try TO make it so
good the next week, for it did not pay
to work so hard for so little money.
II grocerymen could be a little more
particular in testing the butter they
buy, and take nothing but good, poor
butter would be very scarce, as there
would be no place for It. But just as
long as there is place where it can be
sold Rt all, it will be made. and lots OF
II, too.-Farmers' Review.

pertinent station.
A bulletin from the Indiana expert.
ment station says: The currant worm,
or, more properly, the gooseberry saw
fly, was introduced into this country
from Europe about the year 1857, com.
ing, as did the imported cabbage but.
terhy, by way of Canada. II is prob
able, however, that it was landed al
other points along our eastern coast
Like most of our imported insects, il
spread very rapidly until now it GOV.
ers the greater portion of the United
States.
This fly belongs to the order Hy.
menoptera, which includes the bees
wasps and ants. 1t is known to en-
tomologists as a kind of connecting
link between this order and the
Lepidoptera, to which belong the moths
and butterflies. The adults make their
appearance soon after the leaves Of
the currant and gooseberry bushes
come forth. The female lays her eggs
along the principal veins on the under
side of the leaf These hatch in about
ten days, and the young larvae may be
detected by the minute holes which
they have eaten through the leaves,
AS they approach maturity they be-
come ravenous eaters, soon stripping
the bushes of their foliage, They then
seek for secluded place in which To
pupate, and in about four or five weeks
the second brood makes its appearance
and the same process is gone through
as before.
Remedy.-The most successful rene
dy yet discovered for this insect is
white hellebore. Dust little of the
powder over the infested bushes while
they are damp, either early in the
morning or just after a shower. II
this is done promptly, before the worms
have spread all over the bushes, one or
two applications will usually be suf-
fcient.

A Travelling Cromatorx.

A travelling military crematory has
been invented to dispose Of the bodies
of soldiers killed in battle. II looks,
says the Buffalo Express, very much
like an army oven on a large scale, and
is drawn by eight horses. The inventor
"a Polish engineer) claims that this ar
rangement would obviate any epidemic
arising from the'burial of many bodies
in one place during a campaign. Ger
many--ever in the van of military inno-
vation-proposes to test the invention.

brushes, which extend out over each
side of the car. Their height is regu-

company's right of way, as the car
dashes along at express speed. A dyna-
mo on the car, run while the train is in
motion, is connected with the metallic
brushes, which receive the full force
of the current, which is communicated
TO the weeds, passing through them to
the ground, with the result that the
weeds are instantly shriveled up.

Being n Sound Money Man He Didn't Care
To Run for Governor ON "a silver Ticket.
When the recent convention of New
York Democrats nominated John Boyd
Thatcher, n strong sound money man,
for governor on a platform which in
dorsed the Chicago free silver conven-
ton il was thought that Mr. Thatcher
was about ready to become a devotee
of the free silver theory, but he wrote
public letter soon after saying he
was still for sound money. Consider
able disturbance was being created by
the strange conditions, but Mr.. Thatcher
ended the controversy by declining To-
accept the nomination under the cir
cumstances. Senator David Ii. Hill
will probably also retire from active
campaign work for the same reasons.
The silver Democratic committee
met in New York City and advanced
Judge WILDER +. Porter to fill the va
cancy created by Thacher's declination,
and Fred c. Schraub, of Lewis county,
was named for lieutenant-governor.
Both men are in full accord with the

Preferred Drowning To Lynching.

Edward Wald, ship carpenter re-
siding at SO Mulberry street, Cleveland,
went home under the influence of
liquor, quarreled with his wife and
finally struck her. Their son Edward,
aged Il, seized his fathers arm and en-
treated him to quiet down, whereupon
the brute became enraged and threw the
boy down the stairway, distance of
20 feet. The little fellow screamed for
help and crowd quickly collected and
increased to a mob. About 40 men
forced their way into the house and
dragged the inhuman father into the
street to lynch him, but the police ar
rived just in time. The mob gave bat
tie to the police and during the scrim-
mage the prisoner broke loose and ran
down an alley toward the river. The
mob was close at his heels aud when
the fugitive reached the Cuyahoga
river he plunged into the cold water
and was drowned. The boy will die,
and Mrs. Wald's injuries may also
prove fatal.
