A Paying Orchard.
[Country Gentleman.]
In Marion county, Pennsylvania, is a
1t contains 5000 apple trees, $4,000 peach
trees and many thousand plums and
pears. The peaches are set with the APP
pies, and have done their best work by
the time the apples need all the room
Mr.. Ledy fertilizes well, cultivates per-
slstently and prunes the peaches close
Is. He says that profit comes from
quality, not quantity. An unpruned tree
will set from 1900 to 1000 fruits. He
does not wish over 200, and fewer are
better. OF large varieties 100 to 100
make bushel, and bushel to trees is
enough. This means small charge for
picking, packing and freight. and big
price for fancy quality. Last fall Mr..
Ledy shipped two and half bushels to
Philadelphia and received $4.95 gross. A
neighbor shipped twenty bushels on the
same day to the same firm and received
50 gross. Charges for picking, handling,
ETC.. per bushel were the same. The
twenty-bushel lot gave net returns of 80
cents. or 11s cents bushel. The two
and half-bushel lot netted 81 so bush
Ell. Mr.. Ledy fertilizes with acid phos-
phate and muriate of potash, 400 pounds
of rock to 100 pounds of muriate. For
nitrogen he uses COW peas, crimson
clover, etc.

Astounded the Editor.
Editor S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville,
S. c., was once Immensely surprised.

sia," he writes. my wife was greatly
run down. She had no strength or
vigor and suffered great distress from
her stomach, but she tried Electric
Bitters, which helped her at once, and,
after using four bottles. she is entirely
well, can eat anything. It's a grand
tonic, and Its gentle laxative qualities
are splendid for torpid liver" For In
digestion, LOSS of Appetite, Stomach
and Liver troubles It's positive guar
anteed cure. Only SOC at Geo. p. Pow
ers' drug store.
