Planting the Peach Tree.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 Peach trees should be about rod apart. The knife is not used enough in the peach orchard. The tree should be cut back the first two or three years to a foot and then be let grow. Don't let the top outgrow the root. Should gum appear, rub it off as soon as seen, and the insect will come with it. The formula for feed ing the peach orchard is: Eight hun dred pounds muriate of potash, 500 pounds South Carolina rock. 400 pounds nitrate of soda. given at the rate of 1,200 pounds to the acre. The spring is safer than the fall for setting peach trees Cherries may be planted in the fall, plums and quince in the spring.

What We Shall See.

EDITOR STAR:
 We read of great democratic victo- ry at the municipal election in Mena, and we ask what benefit is Mepa and the county to derive from this victory? Will the laws be inforced and the va- rious dives closed now? If so, we hail it as glorious heritage.
 Will the saloons be permitted to carry on the work of making drunk arls of our boys. "The Elk" to bleat and s'The Owl" to screech, all in viola tion of the laws of our state, then we shall say, away with such victories, but we wait, we shall see. what we shall see. M
