Preserve Peach Trees.

The Missouri Agricultural
College experiment station has
been conducting experiments i'll
peach tree culture that will be
worth millions of dollars to
orchard growers in the growth of
peach trees. Thirty had their
boughs, trunks and limbs painted
white with a spray of ordinary
whitewash.
"These whitened trees" said
Prof. II. J. Warters, director of
the station, "will be sure to bear
fruit next year, while the other
trees in the orchard may not. 1t
is simple experiment that has
taught valuable lesson. The win
ter killing of peach buds is the
results of freeing after the buds
have been made to swell by the
warm weather during the winter or
spring. The warm sunsbine will
make the buds swell prematurely
while the root of the tree may be
frozen or dormant. Shading and
whitening the trees prevent their
aborbing the heat on summer days
and the forcing of the buds,' as q
protective measure. Shading the
trees is too expensive Whitening
them is cheaper. The natural color
of the tree attracts and absorbs
the heat of the sun as black earth
absarbs it. The white coating on
the peach trees repels the sums
rays.
"Last year 80 per cent, of the
whitened buds passed the winter

that we're not whitened were killed

THE NATATORIUM.

You reach the "North-Augusta
bathing pond," built up and run
by the North-Augusta Co. A long
line of bathing houses, painted
green and red, with !'for ladies' in
one compartment and "for gents"
in the other. A deep clear pond
rallied in and banks Of trees and
under-brush of sweet-bay which
perfumes the air. Ten cents apiece
to look on, to swim, for your bath
ing suit, oi. for glass of soda, or a
"Carson City punch" The men
are attired in dark blue, striped,
with white pants barely reaching
the knees, bare legs and feet, bare
arms and neck to the shoulders.
They look quiteesaucy and bad,
and standing on the long piazza of
the bathing sheds hold their hands
clasped high above their heads,
after the manner of divers, they
make the plunge and disappear
IN the cool dark water. They come
up, and such tricks, they swim as
gracefully as born fish. Kicking
those bare legs and feet IN each
others faces, fighting with water,
and Of course swimming to the
other side of the long pole,
or support, stretched across, to join
the pretty young girls in baggy
trousers AMI short-sleeved, low
necked bodies, and bare white feet.
They laugh and fight with water
while harp, violin, and flute are
rippling from the long veranda
near by. The electricscnmas IN q
stones throw of the bank, dumps
down girls and boys and returns
for another party.
I went out one afternoon and,
sitting on one of the wayside
benches, looked on at the SWIM
ming and listened to harp, violin,
and flute. With me pretty dark

These "green hills of Carolina"
are and are to be built up by Au-
