Following is only a small part OF somo
terse talk on peach culture given by r.
Morrill,. the famous fruit grower, before
the Illinois society:
THE man who can make success OF
peach growing must love the business.
He must understand a few essentials in
selecting a location; he must know that
elevation means everything to peach
orchard under trying conditions; he
must understand the effect of tempera-
lures on plant life and on peach buds
particularly; he must know that cold air
runs down hill as readily as water; he
do not die as quickly in moving air as
they do in still air, as, for instance, they
may not kill on the top Of a plateau an /
on the side of hill, but kill at the low er
proper balance maintained between
root and top in the care of his trees.
spoke about the proper balance be-
tween root and top. The balance must
soil, without mutilation CT the root at
the proper time. The proper time is
when growth commences. Begin your
culture and hurry it forward and keep
must determine from your own condi-
tons. On my soil, which is not nitro
genous soil, if a tree is bearing a heavy
load. | will carry on that cultivation as
lo ng as | can get around that tree, until
the branches begin to hang down. If it
were highly nitrogenous soil 1 would
stop bit earlier, but stopping anywhere
in the middle Of summer would be to
put check on the tree.
would trim severly any peach tree;
l would trim it for symmetry and to
throw the balance of power with the
root; would trim it because it is a
method of thinning the peaches; l
would thin the fruit OF Il good crop be-
cause the formation of seed is draft on
the tree and devitalizes it. 1t can not
mature large crop OF pits. but it can
mature large crop OF peaches. If it is
compelled to mature large crop Of pits
it is in a state Of emi-exhaustion and
next year perhaps you will hear OF tie
June drop. A tree carefully cultivated.
fertilized, lhinned and trimmed never
suffers from June drop and will add
from five to eight degrees to the ability
of the tree to stand cold weather and
that frequently makes the difference
between an immense profit. after hard.
trying winter, and nothing.

The Assunn Dam.

F. II. Newall, chief of division OF
photography OF the geological survey, in
an article in reference to the proposed
irrigation works in the arid west under
consideration, says Of similar work
done for Egypt by the English: "These
great irrigation dams planned for our
western country recall TO mind the i'm
nense irrigation dam completed across
the Nile at Assuan at the first cataract
and dedicated with international cere-
monies on December 8. This dam ia
about one and quarter miles long ar d
will store $4,000, 100000 cubic feet OF
water held at height of forty.eight
feet above the zero of the Assuan gage.
Its cost is sS,75O,CCO and it will bring
100000 acres OF fertile land under cult
walton in cotton and sugar cane ard its
value TO Egypt is estimated at s50,O00,-
Coo. An interesting fact concerning the
construction OF this dam is that it is
thirty-fve feet lower than it was in
tended to be, although the dams capa-
city is decreased just one-half by the
change of plan. The reason for the
change is that the famous temple of
Philae on an island upstream, one Of
the most interesting and best preserved
temples in Egypt, would be ompleteIy
submerged every year if the dam were
carried to the height at first intended

The Two Winston Churchills,


Winston Churchill reaches the ad-
vanced age Of thirty to-day, but his
undoubted powers show no signs Of de-
cay. 1t would be going too far to de-
scribe Mr. Churchill as the rising hope
OF the stern and unbending Tories, be-
cause he might be the rising hope OF
any party. Politicians, unless they are
mediocre or firmly anchored to one
party by ties of office or family, sell
dom pursue career of unblemished
consistency as regards the particular
label they wear, and 1t would not sur
prise many Of Mr.. Churchill's friends
If he were to be found fighting under
a banner different from that to which
he now gives allegiance. There is. in
fact. scarcely anything IN his views
which would not fit one great party as
well as another. This Is a month Of
double double in birthdays. The two
Winston Churchills were both born
in the November of 1871, and. where
as the American novelist has written
some war articles the English politl-
clan and war correspondent has ad-
ventured upon q novel. The brace of
Winstons, by the way. met in New
York a few months ago. and thanked
each other for casting so much lustre
on the name. The two Gissings. George
and Algernon. novelists both have also
their birthdays during November

FcSruary Number,

The principal features OF the New
idea Woman's Magazine for February
are as always the utilitarian and in
patterns, descriptions OF costumes, fancy
work and domestic affairs there is moth
ing more helpful to the home-maker
now published; but the literary features
are equally as valuable. The stories
are charmingly told and well illustrated.
Mrs. f. A. Osborne's paper upon Lincoln
entitled A Nations Patron Saint" is
especially appropriate and Ernest Neal
Lyons poem on Washington emphasizes
the patriotic elements of the contents.

The anxiety in some parts Of the
county for the peach and apricot buds
is to some extent not warranted. AS
far as we are able to learn the damage
by the cold snap has been but slight, il
any damage has been done at all from
that cause. The Concensus OF opinion
is that there is no more dead buds on
