PEACH FELLOWS.

The great authority on peach culture,

Southern grown peach trees: "a year

cessive peach orchard planting the

and were it not for the disease known
as 'yellows,' we should soon be face
to face with such overproduction as
would make it impossible for the aver
age cultivator to market peaches with
out loss, must less profit. Yeilovs,
spreading with greater yirulence than
ever in 1897 made it clear that it was
to be even worse in the future, and
that all through the Central and North
ern States it is to be a hard fight in
future to maintain healthy and profta-
bic orchards, Only those who know
the yellows, and dread it, and fight 1t
from start to finish. can hope to sue
ceed I have in fruiting orchards more
peach trees than any man on earth,
and / know from sad and dearly
bought experience that peach trees
grown in any of the Northern or Cen
tral States cannot be depended upon
as free from yeHows, and the only
way to secure a healthy tree at the
start is to plant Southern-grown trees
from below the tainted district. Know

FERTILITY FOR PLANTS.

LEk1lLll4 FUR ELANlo.
Remember that plants cannot make
use of fertility in the soil, that is, plant
food. until the fertility can be dissolved
in water. There may be phosphate i'll
the rock, but the plant cannot feed
upon it until the rock has been dis
solved by sulphuric acid, and this work
the fertilizer companies do for US.
Barnyard manure cannot be taken up
as plant food by trees, plants and vines
until it has decaycd. If we apply the
dressing Of fresh stable manure to 4
field this spring, which we plant to
corn or potatoes, that manure will not
be in condition to benefit the crop
until it rots, which will not occur
until midsummer, and some of it will
not be acceptable to the plants during
the entire season, portion remaining
for the succeeding crop another year.
The humus added to tie soil by the
decaying manure may remain in the
soil for several years. Most soils, par
ticularly clayey land, contains an
abundance of fertility to produce the
heaviest crop, but the plant food in the
soil is not often in soluble condition,
and therefore cannot be taken up by
the plants as food. The winter frosts
liberate much of the fertility Of such
soils, rs also does frequent cultivation,
and the action of rain, sun and air

BRINGING UP THE VINEYARD.

While it is true that many vineyards
that are Improbable are so because
they are old or because it is impossible
to get them over the ravages Of the
rot, it is also true that the majority
of the vineyards which are unprofita-
Bile are so because they have not re-
ceived proper care. An excellent plan
for bringing up the vineyard is to use
300 pounds of muriate Of potash with
800 pounds of acid phosphate rock and
100 pounds Of nitrate Of soda to the
acre in the spring and 100 pounds addi-
tional of the nitrate Of soda alone in
June or early July. Keep the soil well
cultivated until the middle OF August,
then SOW between the rows ono or two
rows of field peas which, after cult
waiting until they get start, should be
allowed to grow and this growth
plowed under the following spring.
This plan adds humus to the soil, and
is especially recommended when there
is 4 dearth of stable manure, and in
many cases it is quite as good as the
stable manure, particularly when the
commercial fertilizers are used.-In'
