Special Pruning.

The Peach.-This tree requires special
pruning to keep 1t In a compact stocky
form, as 1t tends to grow largely az the
ends of the branches, and to produce few
laterals on the main branches. While the
trees are young, at least one-half of the
last seasons growth should be cut off
during the latter part of the winter, vary
ing the amount cut from different parts
of the trees so as to produce a regularly
formed head. As the trees grow older
this pruning reduces the number of fruit
buds, and thus lessons the cost of thin
ming and improves their growth. 1t also
often becomes necessary to cut back some
of the main branches well into the center
of the tree, to force a lateral growth of
new wood, without which the long
branches would soon break down when
heavily loaded with fruit, or with foliage
wet with rain in high wind.
The Grape.-The grapevine will stand
more pruning without injury than any
other fruit crop we grow, and by the
modern method of training the whole
vine is practically renewed every two
years. The fruit is grown on the vigor-
Gus young wood OF the last seasons
growth, and the more vigorous and we'll
ripened this wood the better will be the
product. Pruning may be done at any
time after the leaves fall up to March
/. Summer pruning or pinching is prac-
ticed 20 force the growth where desired
l. e., into the fruiting canes and into the
new canes that are being grown for the
next seasons fruit, and no surplus canes
should be grown that must be cut and
thrown away at the end of the season.

Soy or Sofa Bean,

This legume is one that has been found
admirably adapted for growth in the
South. 1t makes either good hay, a good
grain crop or an excellent forage crop for
hog feeding, AS crop for the silo 1t is
the natural complement of corn. Corn is
rich in carbohydrates whilst the soy
bean is the richest of all crops in protein
When cut and mixed together in the silo
the silage is almost a complete ration for
stock. The land for the crop should be
prepared as for corn, and the seed be
planted in rows just wide enough to per-
init of cultivation. The seed should be
dropped in the rows about nine inches
apart. Half a bushel of seed will plant
an acre. Cultivate the crop two or three
times until it is web started in growth
On good land the plants will grow three
or four feet high, and branch out 50 as to
cover the whole field The seed pods are
formed very freely. and from twenty 10
thirty bushels of beans are produced to
until checked by frost. If intended for
hay or the silo the crop should be cut
when in full vigor and growth.
If 20 be made into hay allow to wilt
and partially dry, and then throw into
small cocks to cure out. If grown for
hog feeding, turn the hogs on to the crop
when the pods are beginning to ripen,
anu thcy WIN ifdi fSst the WHOle pidUl,
and make fat faster than on any other
crop grown. If wanted for the beans
allow to stand until most of the pods are
nearly ripe. and then cut when damp
with dew and throw into small cocks or
heaps to cure out. These should not be
handled more than necessary, as the
beans will shell out when dry. 1t is
best to carry them to the barn when
slightly moist with dew. AS the stalks
are woody when mature they do not pack
closely in the NOW, and, therefore, will
not heat injuriously, even though stored
slightly damp. The beans may be thresh-
ed out with the ordinary threshing ma
chine IL the concaves are taken out and
plenty of room given for the stalks to
pass through. The machine should not
be run fast. Cattle and sheep will eat
the stalks, hull and refuse from the ma
chine with great relish.

Geese on the Farm.

Geese in the market will sell for from 80
to 60 cents, but the kind of geese sod are
really worth no more. There has been but
little Improvement of geese on farms, and
it is seldom that they exceed eight or ten
pounds in weight The Toulouse and
Embden geese are fully twice as large as
the common geese zone being once ex-
hibited weighing fifty-two pounds alive,
and pair would nay the foundation of
paying flock in a few years. The fat
goose is a luxury enjoyed only by those
who know something of them, and it
brings good price. Turkeys sell higher,
but the profits are no larger than from
geese. There is great loss of young
turkeys each year, while geese seem to
thrive on grass plot or a pond that cam
not be used for any other purpose
AS geese will breed until over twenty
years old, a flock of the large varieties
once obtained will return an income every
year which would be satisfactory COM
pared with the capital invested.
If the flock of geese is given a grass
plot il will be all they will require. In
winter, however, they should have a mess
of ground food once a day. Old geese do
not sell in market, and it is a waste OF
time and money to so dispose of them.
Keep the old ones for breeding purposes,
and sell the young ones. One gander may
be kept with two geese. There is also
fair profit in feathers.

Pig Feeding.

In the bulletin sent out by the Marylsnd
Experiment Station in March they sum-
married. the results of about a dozen tests
in pig feeding as follows: a. 1t was found
that with some rations the gains on pigs
could be produced as low as 21a cents per
pound. (2) In all the tests where properly
compounded rations were used. pork was
produced at profit, when the pigs were
not allowed to become too old. go The cost
OF producing a pound of pork Increases
with the age OF pig. "a The aim should
be 10 produce from 100 10 200-pound p gs at
six to seven months old for the greatest
profits. 90 Skim milk was found to have
a feeding value for pigs equal TO fully
double the price charged at most Of the
creameres of the state. (6 Separator
skimmilk at one half cent per gallon and
linseed and gluten meals at SIS per ten
have about the same value for balancing
rations for pig feed. Cd Cream or King
gluten meal was found to be more econo n
ical for balancing ration for pigs than lin
seed meal. () Ground fodder, such as she
New Corn Product, was found 10 be a VAL
liable addition to ration for pigs. 90 Swest
potato strings. COW pea pasture and artl-
choke pasture, when properly used, pro-
duced pork economically.

WnterneIOus.

We have in watermelons. a crop which
is assuming very great Importance at the
South, and every year sees hundreds upon
hundreds of acres devoted TO their pro-
ductlon, while in June and July they go
North by the train load, often bringing
fancy prices, writes j. F. Merriam in
Southern Planter.
To be successful with watermelons the
grower must first select the proper loca-
ton. The land should be well drained, Of
a light sandy texture, and naturally fer
tile, Freshly cleared land is a good place,
or an old broom straw fed which has
lain out a number of years. / have also
had good success on a pea vine stubble

and peas sown between, followed by oats,
with peas sown again after the oats to be
cut for hay, and furnish the pea vine stub
BILE for the melons; then cotton again, and
so on. In a four-year rotation like this,
melons are less likely to suffer from the
disease known as the Southern blight. But
even this far apart. they are sometimes
affected. Indeed this matter is assuming
very serious proportions, and remedy for
the wilt, or blight, Is badly needed
II seems that the Alabama Experiment
Station Is meeting with some success In
checking the disease by an application of
lime to the infected land, during the win
ter, previous 10 the planting. They are,

final result of which will be looked for

do no harm TO try the lime at the rate of
say 40 bushels per acre: for when one

the question of a successor to Senator

Intensive culture of Tomatoes.

Drive 7-foot stake where the plant
n 90 grow. Then plant the seed or set
the young plant. The latter may ripen
first. but the seed plant win outstrp it
in growth. Let nothing but leaves grow
below the first setting of tomatoes. After
you have one good setting you may let
the plant fork. This gives two main
stems. Let no more shoots grow until
at least two settings of tomatoes are
formed on each branch. Then let the
vine fork again. Keep all shoots below
all these trimmed off. going over them
carefully once or twice a week. After

sparingiy all shoots or top Of main
branches. You will find good big tomatoes
at the top of the feet of stake you have
above the ground.
AS many as thirty-two good sized toma-
toes have been counted on one stalk after
the bottom bunch had ripened and was
gone. Remember that at the base of eacn
leaf comes out a branch. This stem is
the one 10 keep trimmed off. The BIOS
som is on the main stem. This leaf
sprout will sometimes come out again,
and must again be cut off. Only by severe
trimming are the best results obtained.
Should an early frost threaten. the plant
thus staked can be protected until ma
ture with blankets. If not staked it
would probably cover ten square feet Of
space on the ground and be lost. The
flavor also of the toma to is far superior
TO those grown on the ground.-V. c..

Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen:
Miss Bessie Lee Williams has been ap-
pointed sponsor for the Florida division of
the United Sons Of Confederate Veterans,
and will attend the reunion at Louisville.
Her sister, Miss Essie May Williams. has
been selected as her maid Of honor. The
appointments were made by the command
er of the Florida division, United sens of
Confederate Veterans, and are signally APP
propriate, these young ladies' being the de-
scendants of soldierly ancestry. Their
great-grandfather, Col. Ben S. Williams,
was colonel of a South Carolina regiment,
and saw active service in the War of 1912,
also in the Mexican War and in the Florl-
da Indian War. Although very old when
the Civil War broke out, he went to the
front and saw active service. The young
ladies' grandfather Col. w. G. Williams,
also served in the Florida Indian War. He
was colonel of the famous Forty-seventh
Georgia Infantry, and was appointed
brigadier- general shortly before his death.
Dr. A. D. Williams, the father of the
young ladies', entered the Confederate army
when he was 10 years of age, and saw ac-
tive service all through the Civil War; and
was brevetted at the close of the war as a
sergeant.
