Peach Notes.

J. H. Hale, the great orchardist of
Houston county, writes to Meehan's
Monthly:
You say, in a recent issue. that the
Elberta peach is considered the most de-
sirable of all the yellow-heshed peaches,
Crawford's yellow excepting. Possibly
some of it's popularity comes from its
high coloring."
I have been growing the Elberta both
in Georgia and here in Connecticut for
some years and there is no question in
my mind but what it is the best yellow
peach ever known, far superior to the
Crawfords in every particular. AS to its
coloring, it is very bright indeed in the
south; but the Elberta, as grown in Del
aware and New Jersey and in some sec
tons of New England, the last few years,
has been somewhat lacking in color, and
if there is any one fault that may be
found with this variety, think it will be
that in northern sections of the country
it may lack the red blush on the sunny
side, which makes it so attractive and
desirable. OF course we shall know more
about this after few years more of fruit
ing; but / am of the opinion now that in
northern sections of the country We shall
have to feed our lands pretty literally
with potash to give the alberta its best
color.
As to its hardness of fruit bud. Monday
morning, Dec. rs last, the temperature in
this vicinity ranged from Is degrees to 20
degrees below zero. Since then we have
had week of quite warm weather. thaw-
ing out things pretty thoroughly. An ex-
animation of our alberta orchards show
that very few of the fruit buds have been
injured-practically all alive after this Sc
we're freeze; and it was one of the varie-
ties that gave us some little fruit here
last year when the peach crop was prac-
teal failure. 1t is not quite so hardy as
Crosby, Connecticut or Hils Chill; but
1 think more so than Mountain Rose, Old
nixon and Stump, which are quite desir-
able and hardy varieties here

Handling stable Manure.

In a recent issue, a contributor gives a
number of rules for handling stable ma
nure, says the American Agriculturist. His
first rule is never pile in the field but
scatter from the wagon. If he refers to
putting the manure in small heaps to be
scattered or spread just before blowing,
agree with him, but if he advises never to
compost l do not agree with him. Situated
as 1 am. just on the edge of the city, /
have been able to get large quantities of
of manure. / have tried every conceivable
experiment in applying manure, and after
years of careful study and observation
of the different tests made by myself and
others, 1 have come to the conclusion
that to get the best results from stable
manure it must be composted either in the
field or barn-yard. AS l haul hundreds OF
loads of manure from the city, my rule
is 10 make one or more heaps in different
fields so that when it comes to spreading
| can get it where l want it without hav-
ing to haul more than twenty rods from
the heap. / spread from the wagon and
pillow under as soon after spreading as
possible.
Your contributor says he haus and
spreads his manure while the ground is
yet frozen, and the spring rains wash it
into the soil. Now if the spring rains come
as they frequently do, before the frost is
out of the ground the part of the manure
which is richest in plant food is washed
out and carried away. l have seen the
dark colored water running down in little
rivulets into a stream twenty rods away
from where had spread manure on frozen
ground. By properly composing manure
the plant food is rendered more available,
and one load of the well-composted ma
terial is worth almost two in the fresh
state. Careful experiments have proven
that in the compost heap much of the
useless organic matter IS reduced the
amount of nitrogen not materially lessen
ed, and the quantity of soluble ash great
ly increased. OF course, if in compost
ing, the manure is thrown out of the sta
bic under the caves of the barn, as it ac-
cumulates, and is allowed to lay there
without any care or attention until drawn
out and spread. probably spreading at
once would be best. But if the heap is
properly made, the sides built up straight
the top kept level, so it will catch all the
rain and snow and kept tramped down
solid so the heap will not get too hot and
iire-fanged, forked over once or twice to
break it up and fine it down, there can
be no question but that composing is the
best practice.

snow contains liquid from the manure
pile that will soak down into the soil
and the loss from washing away will be
very slight. OF course heavy rains or
thaws causing miniature freshets on the
field, might cause the loss of a good deal
OF such manure. Each farmer must use
his judgment in applying this system. The
great advantage of this method is that
one handling of the manure does the bus
mess. Only those who have changed
from the old system to the new style
know what a saving in labor it involves
Ii is used most successfully where no
long corn fodder is fed 1t is better and
cheaper to cut the cornstalks before fee /
ing, than to run the long stalks into the
manure pile and handle it two or three
times, simply to get the cornstalks rot
ted.

For most crops broadcasting is better
than in the drill, as the widespreadins
roots will get more of the food. For
hoed crops, experience favor a second or
even third QighD application of fertilizers
TO be sowed between the rows at the first
or second cultivating or hoeing. 1t is
often found that the same amount of fer
tilizer, two-thirds applied before plant
ing and balance during the culture in
early part of growing season, gives
enough better results over putting the fer
tilizer on all at once to warrant the work

TO CURE NERVOUS DYS-
PERSIA
To Gain Flesh. to Sleep We'll, to
Know What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean, Make a
Test of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of An In
dianapOIis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring rene
dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost
sight of; the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor per-
haps any Of the usual symptoms of stomach
weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows it
self not in the stomach so much as in near
ly every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in 9TH
ers the kidneys are affected; in others the
bowels are constipated with headaches;
still others are troubled with loss of flesh
and appetite with accumulation of gas,
sour risings and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
street, indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines re-
garding the new and valuable medicine,
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. l have been
a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the
last four years; have used various patent
medicines and other remedies without any
favorable result. They sometimes gave
| temporary relief until the effects of the
medicine wore off. l attributed this to my
sedentary habits, being a bookkeeper with
little physical exercise. but 1 am glad to
state that the tablets have overcome all
these obstacles, for have gained in flesh,
sleep better, and am better in every way.
The above is written not for notoriety, but
is based on actual fact" Respectfully

"Seeding,s Orchards.

Prof. Massey says: "There are a few
old races of peaches like the Chinese
Cling and Blood peach. that will, to a
great extent, reproduce the same peach
from the seed, but there are few peaches
worth growing that will with any GER
taiuty, reproduce the kind from which
the seed was taken, whether it was from
a budded tree or not. The fact that the
seed was from budded tree does not, of
itself, make 1t less certain to reproduce
the kind. If l grow an old Blood peach
from a bud taken from one of the old
seedlings, it's fruit will be just as certain
to reproduce the Blood peach as if taken
from the original Seeding tree, provided
it has been grown apart from other trees
of peaches. The variation in trees coming
from seeds is caused by the crossing of
the flowers by insects with pollen from
some other variety. The only peaches
that come with any certainty true from
seed are the old sorts named that have
been grown in Isolated neighborhoods,
where there are none of the improved
peaches. Seed selected from fine fruit
will usually give good fruit, whether from
budded trees or from Seeding ones. In
fact, l would prefer to use the seed from
an orchard of fine budded varieties if l
was after selecting new and better sorts
than to take seed from old Seeding trees.
l would stand a far better chance of get
ting something good from the admixture
In such an orchard. Crossing of varie-
ties is natures method of keeping up the
Vigor of the species"

County Roads.

In late years much has been written and
more has been said upon the poor condi-
ton of the roads in large part of the
country, says the Practical Farmer. In
many localities this agitation has led to
a marked improvement of the highways.
In other sections little or nothing has
been attempted. Even where the most
has been accomplished there still remains
much TO be done. Consequently the sub
ject of country roads continues to be an
important one throughout our whole land.
There are two reasons why this subject
should be considered at this time. One of
these Is that over a large area, the frost
is coming out Of the ground, or the early
rains are failing, and the roads are at
their worst estate. This makes the need
of Improvement more apparent than 1t will
be when the ground has become settled
and the roads are dry and hard The
other reason Is that, in many places, Off
GERS who will have charge of the roads,
for year at least, are soon to be elected
or appointed, and much can be done for
the advancement of the cause of good
roads by securing the services of men who
are qualified for the work of which they
will have control. Experience has proved
in countless instances, that a man may
be Industrious and energetic, and may do
the best he can, and yet may fail TO make
a good ROAD SIMPLY because ne uOeS not
know how such roads must be constructed.
But even If he does understand making
roads the man in charge OF the work can
not make them without money. In many
cases the appropriations are so entirely
inadequate that the most skillful man in
the world could not. with the means avail
able. keep the roads good.
That farmers, as a class would be great
ly benefited by better roads no one can
can doubt. Their surplus produce has to be
hauled over the roads and this work can
be done at much less cost on good roads
than Il can be on poor ones. There Is.
Also a great deal OF pleasure In driving on
roads that are in good condition, and the
saving Of time for those who often have
10 go over them Is no small item. To build
good roads. or properly improve poor ones
that have already been opened. costs
something. Il is true. In this respect roads
are like everything else. Excellence IN any
and every line OF work always involves a
corresponding outlay. But roads of some
kind are a necessity, and " properly man
aged. good ones are far more economical,
as well as more satisfactory, than me-
dunn or inferior ones.
