The Farmers Voice says: The only
peach buds that will survive tempera-
ture of or degrees below zero, ex-
cept in rare instances, are those of
seedlings. These are usually harder
than the grated varieties in several
ways, and it is we'll to have a few
trees of this kind as a recourse when
those of greater value are cut off. Nor
are Seeding peaches always inferior 20
many of the grated or budded sorts.
Indeed, it is from seedlings. ~often
chance seedlings, the parentage of
which cannot be traced that many
of our choicest varieties have origi-
mated, but these, after some years
of artificial propagation. seem in
measure to lose the quality of hardi-
ness, so it is mostly among those di-
rectly from the pit that we find the
conditions enabling them to withstand
below zero temperatures In country
places where peach pits are liable to
be scattered about. young trees are
apt to come up in considerable num-
bers, not the first spring after they
have been on the ground, but the
second, and, unless the limits of the
place are very circumscribed, some of
these should be allowed to grow-if
not where they came up, in some out
of-the-way corner. Under ordinary con-
ditions, these will afford examples of
the quality of their fruit the third
year. when those that seem worthless
may be cut out. The first fun crop
is developed the fourth season.
The proportion of seedlings of suf1-
cient value to pay for preservation is
usually as large as one in three, and
among these there will often be one
either very early or very late, these
being the most profitable, or distin-
guished by size, beauty of coloring or
excellence of quality.

is accounted the ideal situation for a
peach orchard, the east, west or even
the north side being preferable to the
south, where the buds are apt to suffer
from premature development.
Seedlings from the crop of 1901, which
Notwithstanding the drought, was one
of the largest and extended over the
greatest range of any in the last de
cade, may be expected in large num-
bers this spring. and as many of these
as can conveniently be afforded space
ought to be suffered to grow until the
quality of the product can be ascer-
tanned. This is usually indicated by
the blossoms the smaller and least

Sugar Cane.

1t is more than likely that there
will be an increased demand for sugar
cane for planting purposes another
year. We would advise our readers to
plant as much as possible this season.
for there will be considerable inquiry
for it next February and March. 1t
Is getting rather late to consider the
question this season, but still it is pos
sible that seed cane may yet be pro
cured, especially in Middle and North
ern Georgia. 1t will be well to plant
some if only the tenth of an acre.
From this area enough can be raised
TINS year to plant a number of acres
next year. A thousand feet (or 200
stalks of first quality cane will plant
the tenth of an acre. We would be
glad to have a practical article on
cane growing in South Georgia. 1t is
an interesting subject.

1t is said that scab is the most wide

says the Farmers Review. 1t is known
in Europe and is probably in existence
wherever the potato is known 1t is
thought also that the same disease at
tacks beets, cabbages, turnips, carrots

wherever it exists it greatly reduces
the value of the potatoes produced. Few

SHOT NEGRO AND SELF.

Wednesday morning ]. L. johnson,
a white man living near Weston, went
to the field where Jacob Daniel a
negro man, was blowing and shot him
down with a shotgun, and afterwards
with a pistol. He then started in the
direction of his home, but soon after
wards was found lying dead, shot
through evidently with his own pistol

about some land which is supposed to
have been the cause of the trouble. 1t
is said that johnson when found had

empty. The negro is also dead.

Hence, in the transplanting of ever

should be taken to keep the roots moist

L0NDON'S AMBULANCES.
The Service Is Far short of what the
Great City stands In Sore
Need OF.

One Of the most urgent needs Of the
metropolis is properly organized and
welI-equipped municipal ambulance
service, says the London Express,
London is the only great European
city which is lacking in an effective
service Of this kind, and there is no
European city in which It is wanted
more, for, according to the latest re-
turns, there is an average of 500 serious
street accidents every week in the year,
and Of these the police ambulances can
deal with only 200 at the outside,
The metropolitan asylums board has
a complete horsed ambulance service in
existence, maintained in a high state OF
efficiency, in order 20 meet sudden out
breaks of infectious disease Under nor
NAL circumstances, however, the SER
vice IS far larger than the requirements,
and the board is accordingly planning
to extend this into a regular municipal
service
In London there is no uniform system
for dealing with street accidents; no
central authority controlling ambu-
lances and keeping in close touch with
the hospitals Even the telephone Is
unknown as an adjunct to the haphaz-
ard systems which exist. Thus the
! London hospital receives twice the num-
Der Of accident cases in our antiquated
ambulances.
To the objections which are urged
against using infectious ambuances for
ordinary cases 1t is pointed out that
there are only two infectious diseases
which might be communicated to q
sufferer In a journey to hospital.
smallpox and scarlet fever-and special
ambulances are retained for those cases
and are disinfected continuously,
In Liverpool and Manchester there
are siX-hOrsed ambulances under the
control Of the police. In Birkenhead,
| Newcastle, Hull Leeds and many
! other towns horsed ambulances can be
! called 70 any part by means Of street
! telephone call boxes,
In New York a surgeon, with surgical
appliances and medicines, accompanies
| the ambulance TO the scene Of an acct
| dent, In most American towns the
palr-horsed ambuances flash through
the street like fire engines, and there
are always horses ready to be harnessed
and doctors on duty The average time
between the striking Of the telephone

lance Is Is seconds.

HOME OF CASHMERE SHAWLS.
There Is Not Enough Demand for the
Industry 10 Keep workers
Employed.

A New Yorker who is now living in
Shadipore, India, in the vale Of Cash
mere, the home of the beautiful Cash
mere shawl. gives a melancholy ac-
count of the decline Of a great and
famous industry These rare and costly
shawls, which were so much priced in
the days Of our grandmothers and
handed down as heirloms from mother
20 daughter, are still made in Cashmere,
but their glory has departed, and the
cheap and seductive aniline dye has
displaced the soft and beautiful color
ings in the old-time vegetable dyes, says
the New York Tribune
The men who understand their ma
nipulation have gone to more lucrative
fields, or else they lie in humble grave
yards hard by the struggling village
streets, and the wild iris clothes their
resting places with colors far more deli
cate than any they ever mixed.
The Cashmere shawl industry re-
ceiyed its death blow during the Fran
co-Prussian war, at the breaking up Of
the French court. The shawls were
brought to France for the great Ma
poleon, and fashion Immediately set her
seal upon them. But when the court Of
Napoleon III. crumbled in the dust the
vogue Of the Cashmere shawl fell with
il, and famine and distress invaded the
far-away valleys Of Cashmere
Shadipore, which was once one Of the
centers Of the Cashmere shawl indus
try, is beautifully located in valley at
the junction Of the Sind and Jhemm
rivers. Numerous herds Of cattle find
rich pasturage on the surrounding hills,
and the giant Chenar, the glory Ct Cash
mere makes the valley look like a
park, But the village has sErunE to a
mere hamlet Of rickety houses, and the
mXurant vegetation fails 10 cover It's
baroness and poverty. What is left Of
the shawl industry Is carried on by
boys and men, who earn from two to
eight annas day or from four to
eight cents in American coinage, For
this bepgarly sum they sit all day long
at the looms, which are almost as for.
lorn as themselves in appearance, for
they da'o back to the days Of prosper
ity and are held together by generous
use Of string,
