PLANTING Peach Trees.

]. c. B., Upatoie Ca:
Will YOU please state through The Jour
nal how many peach trees should be
planted TO the acre; what is the average
distance. whether best to check the rows
Of trees or plant on terraces2
Please give the names Of two or three
good shipping peaches and land best
adapted for each: also the addresses OF
few reliable southern nurserymen
Answer-There is a difference Of opin-
ion as regards the proper distances apart
TO set out peach trees. Some growers
plant their trees % feet apart each way
while others make the distance only Is
feet I think the matter depends largely
upon the fertility Of the soil and the
amount OF land that can be devoted to the
orchard. Trees planted 20 feet apart will
be more thrifty and produce larger and
better fruit at less expense than trees
planted more closely together. Planted
70 feet apart It will require los trees TO
the acre; reducing the distance to Is feet.
you will need lee trees, or you can cut
the distance TO medium and use las trees
IS feet apart.
On terraeed land It is best TO plant by
the terrace on account Of the cultivation
OF the land in different crops for a few
wears until the peaches begin bearing.
The Belle. or Carmen are splendid early
varieties for June shipments. The Elber-
IA is the best July or regular shipper ever
set discovered. The Rumph nursery, at
MarshaIlville Ca, and George F. Gober
at Marietta, Ca, are reliable nurserymen.
The demand for peach trees have been so
heavy this season that you would be un-
able to secure any trees now for planting
this winter.
High. red lands produce the best peach
es in color and flavor, also in hardness.

PROTECTION AND
MAIL ORDER BUSINESS

To the Editor of The Journal:
In a recent issue of your paper / read
your remarks on local protection Of our
merchants and a mail order trade for
ATLANTA. l am in favor of protection.
and in favor of home industries. You call
the attention of the public to the inter-
Ioping itinerant imposters. who come In
here with their fire sales of cheap
goods to compete with the regular local
merchants In behalf Of the home merch-
ants you ask for protection. II local pro-
lection NAV be invoked in this way. why
NAV we not extend the same principle
to the trades ofAmerica against the cheap
sroods and products of cheap labor OF
foreign countries? If you want protection
for our merchants here at home, why not
try the tariff idea on the cheap John"
inferlopers. Give them high license tar
iff. and so protect your local merchants.
Won saw the itinerant traders under the
present system of a low license for
temporary use. operates to the detriment
Of the regular home traders.
Do you purpOsely. or unconsciously.
thus argue against free trader If
protection" is good for Atlanta, why not
for all other places. and If good for all
others, then why not good as an economic
principle for the whole of the United
States against all foreign countries? am
a ''protectionist' for the whole country.
for all the people.
Your idea and suggestions about the
mail order system" for the benefit of
Atlanta is simply the local or selfish idea
for the broader and national system for
exports. Ship your home goods abroad
and take in the money. Use the money
for the promotion Of home industries and
local trade to make more goods to ship
away as exports to other places or coun-
tries Put on a protective tariff or high
license to keep out the cheap John"
itinerant free traders and you then prac-
tically solve the question of industrial
and commercial economy. 1 am in favor
OF home industry and protection. Very
truly yours.

had with shredded corn stalks has been
due to the fact that farmers have shred
ded their crops before the stalks were
thoroughly dried. Let your shocks stand
in the field at least eight weeks. If it is
dry enough to shred and store in the
barn without fear OF mould, it is dry
enough to bale. There is no use to delay
baling IL you wait until the stalks are
dried throughout. If you have 20 wait on
the shredded slower for several days be-
fore baling il indicates that the shredding
was undertaken before the stalks were in
proper condition for shredding. If there
is much moisture about the shredded for

sweat first before baling, but If it ia

For Smallpox.

When Jeener discovered COW pox in
England the world of science hurled an
avalanche of fame upon his head; but
when the most scientific school of medi-
cine in the world-that of Paris-gave
this receipt aud panacea for small pox
to the world it passed unheeded. It is
as unfailing as fate, and conquers in
every instance. 1t is harmless when
taken by we'll person. When learned
physicians said the patients must die, it
cured Here is the receipt: Sulphate
of zinc 1 grain; fox glove (digitalis) l
grain; IL tea spoonful of sugar, mix
with two tea spoonfuls of water. When
thoroughly mixed add 4 ounces Of water.
Take a tea spoonful every hour. The
disease will disappear in from IL to "a
hours. For child. the dose should be
smaller according to the age.

it turned the tables by defeating
Salem by a score of IA to II.

the result.

Home From Manila.

Mrs. c. e. Dentlar and littl
son arrived Friday from Manila,
Philippine Islands, whittier they
went about six months ago to
join Captain Dentlar. Mrs. Dent
lar had a varied and interesting
experience while in the islands.
Two trips on transports around
the new possessions of Uncle
Sam, each covering period of
about 80 days, gave her pretty
good lidea of the geography OF
that country. Captain Dentlar
is now stationed on the island of
Leyte and conditions are not con-
sidered safe there for wives of
the officers, so Mrs. Dentlar de-
clded to return home to the
United States. Her husband
will be relieved from duty in the
islands two years from next
April, and Mrs. Dent1ar will
probably be separated from him
during this time.
The trip home on the Hancock
was a most stormy one, the YES
sci being two days over due.
Mrs. Dentlar left yesterday for a
visit at her old home near
Phi1onath.
