This is to certify that my wife was
for years afflicted with asthma, and
was so far gone that several physicians
decided that her case must terminate
in consumption. L was induced to
try bottle of DR.. Warmers White
Wine of Tar Syrup. To our great
satisfaction it gave almost immediate
relief, and two bottles completely cur

Peach Culture.
vator.

Select good land-land that will
produce a good corn crop-with a dry
subsoil, if possible, for the peach or
chard. Plow deepbefore planting. Mark
rows both ways with pillow, and
plant at intersections which should be
about 90 feet apart each way Set the
trees in holes that are large enough
to receive the roots without cramp-
ing. Set the tree about the same
depth that it occupied in the nursery.
Fill holes with good earth. Do not
grow too many varieties. The mere
fruit we can get to ripen at one time,
the more we can market at a time,
and that means less expense Hence
the wisdom of combining the orchard
to few varieties.
Cut off all broken and bruised roots
before planting. In pruning at any
time use knife that is strong and
sharp enough to make clean cut.
Cut off the side branches, and cut the
main stem about IS inches above
ground. This makes a stronger tree,
and more convenient one from which
to pick and for pruning. Pruning can
be done during the winter, but some
prune after the buds have started,
the reason being that if pruned before,
the remaining buds develop too rapid
ly, and may be caught by frost. The
first pruning consists in cutting off all
shoots that are not needed for forma-
ton of the head of the tree, and cut
| ting back those that remain about two
feet. At the second annual pruning
thin out all the inside branches that
prevent an open headed tree, and cut
back the other branches about one
half of last years growth. This tends
to make broad, low and open head
ed tree. The third year with the same
object in view.
The Georgia experiment station
which is an authority on peach grow
ing--would permit the growing in the
orchard, for the first two or three
years, of low-hoed crops, such as peas,
MELONS, ETC., provided they are not
grown too close to the trees. We
should prefer to have no crops of any
kind grown among the trees. We have
seen bad results from it. We would
keep the soil clear of weeds and grass
and the surface should always be mel
low. Cultivate every year. The culti-
walton should be shallow.-Henry
Scallen. in Epitomist.

The Limit of Speed In Naval vessels.


The 42O-top destroyers lately ordered
by the United States government are
an improvement on the usual type, but
we must go good deal further in the
same direction to obtain a vessel meet
ing all the conditions that such vessels
must meet in sea service. Recent ac-
quircmcnts of territory by the United
States makes it necessary that such
vessels for ITS navy shall have much
greater radius of action and shall be
treated differently. In fact, if speed
of 80 knots or more is aimed at, a suffi-
GENTLY stanch seagoing vessel cannot
be produced in the present state of the
art. TO obtain 30 knots within the
boats now credited with that speed, a
supreme effort under expert manage
ment is required, which is seldom re-
peated in tie life of the boat If the
30-knot torpedo boat destroyer's ma
chinery were more substantial so that
full power could be exerted at any time
without risk, and if the hull were suf-
ticiently strong to stand moderate sea
without danger, its speed would be
about 27 knots. Yet venture to say
that such boat, if ordered to reach a
point at sel, say, 100 miles distant,
would, under ordinary conditions, reach
that point in less time than would be
required by the regulation 3O-knot
boat, which is said to get horse power
with less than fifty pounds of machin-

More good cows Are spoiled every
year by careless milking than any
other way A very little milk in the

If farmer has not the time to
train a colt himself, competent man
can be found to do 1t, who can, in
few weeks, have colt so trained that
a buyer can see at once what quail

The vigorous development of plants
depends far less upon the weight and
size of seed than upon the depth to
which il is covered with earth and up

finds in its first period of life.
DO not think that the "off year"
in fruit bearing is thing definitely
established by nature. When tree
is allowed to bear too heavy crop. it
is left in too feeble a condition TO
form many fruit buds the next sea-
son.
The orchard may well serve its
purpose of fruit bearing, and as n
feeding ground for poultry. The
fowls will destroy many of the in

and will be no mean factor in enrich

much an end attained, sure against all
odds, as capabilty to be retained,

made better, or they can be reduced
back to the state of scrubs.
Many of our common foods are
lacking in salt, and consequent it must
be supplied. We can not tell exactly
how much the cattle need, and the
