the persimmon as a commercial fruit.
First, the people are beginning to APP
preciate it, and this will soon create 4
demand for it, Second, it is rich and
nutritious, and, besides, has an as
tr1ngent property which gives it a me-
dlcinaQ value. Third, the fruit is much
sought after by the majority of peo-
Pile, many of whom are so intent upon
getting it at amy hazard that they will
climb the trees and tear out the whole
tops. Fourth, they come into use after
all other fruits are off the trees, and
stored or put on the market. Fifth,
the trees seldom fail to bear a crop,
and are almost entirely free from the
attacks of insects or fungus diseases.
Last, but not least, the early ripen-
ing varie ties command a good price in
market, having been solid in the large
cities for from six to eight dollars per
bushel. Even in my home market,
where they are plentiful, [ have sold
them at $500 per bushel. The persi u
mon is similar to the peach and plum
in it's choice of soil and location, but
it will grow ON almost any kind of soil,
from rich bottom land to poor thin
soil ON the hilltops, so exhausted by
continuous cropping that it is practi-
cally worthless. However, a warm
soil we'll exposed to the sun will pro-
duice the finest fruit The persimmOn
is very hardy in bud, as it does not
bloom until about the first of June,

the bearing trees, though occasionally
trees are found which do not bear fer
tile flowers. The fertile bloom always
comes singly, one from each bud, while
the sterile blooms appear in clusters of
two or three to a bud, and are only

Many of us have old, barren or worth

all cases with dormant buds or grafts.

Barnyard Manure.


What barnyard manure does for The
soil and suggestions for prevention of
the loss of it's valuable elements in
yard Or stable, is admirably given in
the Southern Cultivator:
ef'While the tendency of late gears
has been towards the extended use of
commercial fertilizers, and their Judi
cious use is to be commended rather
than condemned, the great value Of
looked, and every pains taken to &C.
cumulate it and preserve it's qualities
unimpaired. In the first place, it sup
plies humus to the soil, and a humus,
too, of the very best quality, one rich
in heterogeneous matter. Again, it con-
tains great quantities of those mi
crobes which play so important a part
in the chemical changes in the soil,
such as the decay of organic matter
and the conversion Of heterogeneous
compounds into nitrates. It supplies
also those microbes which develop the
tubercles on the roots of leguminous
plants and bring about the assimila-
ton of atmospheric nitrogen. It's good
work does not stop here. Through the
carbonic and other acids which it gen
crates, it renders soluble much of the
insoluble phosphate and potassic COM
pounds Of the soil. One is accustomed
to think of barnyard manure as being
valuable chiefly because Of the plant
food in it and which it directly sup
plies, but it is highly probable that it's
indirect action is even more valuable
than it's direct. Hence the advisable
ity of using it in combination with
commercial fertilizers, and not by it.
self alone, where the supply of it is
limited. Apply the commercial ferti-
lizers to supply food directly to the
crop. Use barnyard manure in con-
nection with it, partly to supplement
the available plant-food, but chiefly to
perform the other important works in
Dictated above. Every precautiOn
should be taken to accumulate as much
of it as possible, to protect it from

ing a high standard for this fruit as to

it to occupy prominent place among
our civilized fruits.
Most of my planting up to this time

have since found the fall to be THE best

procure the seeds in the fall or early

Some will say, 'What does this all
amount to. They will sprout all over
the place and are very troublesome to
get rid of, for no stock will eat Them"
This lis a mistaken idea. l have never

about forty nice specimens. So you see
that seedlings and sprouts win begin to
bear in from four to five years, which
is as soon as we can expect returns
from other fruit trees Seedless per-

too many root cuttings from the two

have the credit of publishing the first
bulletin ON. the American persimmOn.
| will quote from this bulletin about
handling the fruit: ''The persimmon is
not as perishable as some people sup
pose; it can be kept for several months.
The fruits seldom rot, but dry up, and
in this condition they have been kept
till March and April by simply keeping
them in cool, dry place. They keep
better, however, by packing them
away in sugar in a jar or other tight
vessel. They may also be canned by
simply placing the clean, ripe fruit in a
glass jar and pouring over it syrup
made of granulated sugar and water.
1t is not necessary to heat the fruit be-
fore canning. They may be used as
occasion demands for making pud-
dings, etc.
