Then, if all the incest berries have
already been used for this purpose
and have to be either thrown away or
put into the bottom of the cup, the
berries can hardly be made presenta-

A shipper without reputation will
have to plate his berries more or less,
because it is expected and because
''every body does it." But an old ship
per who has created a name for his
berries, SO that they are waited for
and purchased in advance, can afford
to neglect this piece of deception. Let
him pour them lightly into the cup
without handling them to brush off
the bloom, hold it up and tap it sew
eral times to settle them thoroughly
so that, when they arrive in market,
they shall not have a shrunken,

ingly Important; it is better to settle
them we'll and round up the center so
that it will be fattened and bruised

Fall Treatment of the Peach Orchard.

r all VI CLG CtCu OICAd4 u
The last peach crop being partial
failure in most of the southern states
it behooves every owner of peach
orchard to put everything in perfect
shape preparatory to another crop
season. In my preregrlnatlons
through the country one fact has fore
ed itself most prominently upon my
notice and it is that the peach grow
ers don't give their trees generally
speaking the care and attention they
deserve, cultivation is neglected far
too much and what is worse their fer
tilization is on far too stingy lines
to give profitable results. One great
cause of the San Jose scale making
such ravages in some orchards is that
the trees are not in as thrifty a con-
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-10-06

dition as they should be, and there
fore are more liable to all kinds of
pests and diseases. In talk lately
with peach grower he stated to me
him crop this last season he was 60
ing to let them severely alone until
they would give some account of the
last fertilizing they got. Now no one
could pursue a worse policy than that,
and yet hundreds are doing the same
thing exactly.
To make sure of getting crop we
must keep our trees thrifty all the
time, and now is the time to begin
operations looking to that end for
next year. The peach orchard should
be thoroughly plowed not later than
the end of October and everything
in the shape of vegetation should be
plowed carefully under, and at this
blowing the fertilization should be
done as we'll. Old orchards or where
the trees are in full bearing will re-
quire a different grade of fertilizer to
young orchard just coming in bear
ing. A we'll balanced fertilizer for
Ola orchards should contain a liberal
percentage of potash, for the younger
orchards the quantity of nitrogen in
the fertilizer might be increased with
profit. In older orchards that have
been well tended to it has been found
that the mineral fertilizers alone will
give good results especially potash
and sometimes a small quantity OF
phosphoric acid, also some claim that
sulphate of potash produces better
quality of peaches than muriate, al
though many use the latter because it
is cheaper. In fertilizing peach trees
nothing pays better than iberallty
and nothing worse than stinginess
and the careful and observing Or
chardist knows this well. Now is the
time to do the heavier pruning also,
some trees will have made consider
able new wood, this should be par

than is really necessary. If any heavy
pruning is necessary such as cuttin.
Off limbs it should be done carefully
with a fine saw and the wound smear
ed over with a mixture of lime and
lard, which forms a coating on the raw
surface and prevents sap from oozing
when it starts running in spring. No
heavy pruning should be done after
the first of January, because if the cut
is fresh when sap starts, ten to one
it will begin bleeding and ruin the ELI
tire tree. L have observed that as a
general rule we all leave too much
wood on our peach trees, and when
we take into account the work it gives
the roots to supply moisture for evap-
Grafton to such a spread of limb and
surface leaf it stands to reason thar
the fruit production must suffer. it
is generally conceded that five wear

four hours, to do this it's roots must
be in healthy condition and supplied
with plant food to be so, and potash
is what will insure that condition and
as said already the fall is the time to
apply this potash, as during tie win
ter months the small rootlets are ex>
banding and preparing for next sea-
sons work.
In caring for peach trees man has
got to use a good deal of common
sense and exercise the best Judgment
he can; an observing person can
always tell at a glance The treatment
trees have been getting in :he pas;
from their general looks, and there
is always the probability thai it's fer
tilizer allowance was not as large as
it should have been if it is not healthy
looking, therefore let us all see that
we do our duty in that respect and we
may depend on it the orchard will do
it's duty correspondingly when the
time arrives. C. X. McQu urie.

y
others which promise better pay For
bid them from wrenchihg and twist
ing the plants roughly, from running
crossways of the beds, from rolling or
lolling on them, etc. 1t is well, if pos
sible, to prohibit all conversat ton ex-
cept with the foreman. In hot wealth
er require them to set their quarts in
the shade or cover them with wisp
of weeds until gathered UP. Allow no
one to hold several berries in the
hand; but insist on their being placed
in the cup one at a time. Let no one
seize the berry, but take it by the
stem, pinching this off with the
thumb nail about an inch long. 1t is
best to require each picker to bring
his own berries to the packery in
trav, then there will be no confusion
and miscOunt.
If shipping by express without ice it
will pay the grower to get his pickers
into the field, if possible, as soon as
there is light enough to enable them
to see the color of the berries. When
thew are bathed with dew they are
cool and solid; they will rattle when
poured down on the table. Spread
them out thin in the shade on news
papers to be replaced when damp>n

until dry or very nearly. After the
sun has shone on the plants for two
or three hours in the morning the ber-
ries expand and become soft; the
slightest pressure will rupture the
skins and make "mess" on the table.
If picking has to continue through the
heat of the day, these berries are not
fit to ship by express; they require to
be placed in the refrigerat tor as soon
as Grated.
Sorting and Packing.-Some pack
ers have sorting machine, narrow
endless band revolving on roller at
each end of the machine, turned by a
crank. The berries are poured on this
band and as they pass before the sort
err thew are stirred and culled, finally
falling down a narrow chute into he
cup or basket. When sorted by hand
they are spread out thin on this paper
and a finger with the point bearing
on the paper is showed around among
them, thus turning them over without
clawing and bruising them. 1t will
pay to reject the very small berries
as we'll as the gnawed or specked ones.
Five quarts of berries with all the
small ones retained will frequently
bring less money than four quarts or
even three of stable berries. One OF
the most conscientious and tidy men
we ever knew, who rigidly rejected all
specked or imperfect berries but put
in all the small ones, wondered long
time over his low returns, and finally
a friend in true kindness told him the
reason.
"Facing.'' -"Facing' or "plating' is
legitimate and expected in all mar
kets, provided it is kept within
bounds. 1t is not dishonest to put a
handful of nice berries on top of the
cup, loosely laid on; but it is mis-
talxa to handle the herrieS so much as

Any man or firm in Pennsylvania
employing man who is not citizen
of the United States, must deduct from
his wages three cents per day and pay
it over to the county treasurer. This
money is divided between the county
and school district equally. 1t is esti-
mated that this law, if it can be made
to work, will yield about $l,OOO,OOO a
year. This would go far toward Off
setting what the state pays for the sup
port of alien paupers, which is esti-
mated at something over $l,OOO'OOO.
Under the new law, the foreigner who
has steady work will pay a TAX of 1888
which is over three times what nat

Daniel N. Morgan, treasurer of the
United States, has transferred his office
to Elias H. Roberts, of New York, the
new treasurer. The transfer of the
office to him involves the count of all
the moneys and securities in the vaults

$700OO0,000. This is an enormous un-
dertaking, and will employ about 100
men, including expert counters and

be taken in counting the vast stores OF
