Hints About Peaches.

What is a good peach soil? In a
general sense, any soil, whether sandy
or gravel, clay or alluvial, will grow a
peach tree, but tree growth is not the
greatest consideration. Good flavor.
fine texture and deep, rich color Of the
fruit are prime considerations. Ex-
perience proves that a thoroughly
drained, deep sand loan, resting on a
red clay subsoil fulfIls these require
ments better than any other type of
soil. These soils abound in North
Louisiana. In travelling through this
section we see on every hand peach
soils that the world cannot SurDass.
This is an important factor in the
problem of ultimate success. Expert
ence proves and scientific truth demon
s~trates, that a high and dry elevation
is best. Water drainage is important
and frost drainage is more important.
The peach has an inveterate tendency
to burst into bloom on the first ap-
preach of warm weather, and frequent
~, belated cold snaps cut it of, some
times partially, sometimes completely.
A high elevation Will, therefore, af-
ford partial protection, as by reason of
the difference in specific gravity, the
cold air settles to the lower levels,
while the warmer rises to the higher.
Therefore, select the highest location
for the peach orchard available and
give it the northern exposure.
If planting on a large scale for COM
mercial purposes, the June buds will
be found more profitable than one or
two year old trees, by reason of diff
ference in cost. The difference, how
ever, in quality, variety, ETC., is unually
unimportant. The June buds, more
over. have the advantage of greater

Irrigated and U~nirrigated Onions.

During the past season an expert
ment has been conducted at the Bee
vile CTexas) substation on the subject
Of the relative cost and yield of irri-
gated and unirrigated onions. One
twentieth acre plats were used in the
experiment and accurate accounts kept
of the cost Of labor for cultivation,
irrigation, ETC., On each plat. It was
found at the end of the season that
the cost of the one-twentieth acre irri-
gated plat was about $1.25 more than
thai of the unirrigated, while the yield
was 1000 pounds greater for the first
named plat. AS the onions sold locally
at two cents per pound, this made a
profit Of about $50 on the one-twentieh
acre in favor Of irrigation. During
the period Of the experiment five inches
of rain fell, but this was so distributed
that full benefit was not received by
the crop. Had it not been o an OPP
perfume rain in the early part Of April.
it is probable that the unirrigated plat
would have been almost an entire fail

and apple trees not less than three
times. Mr.. e. Riehl, one Of the larg-
est apple growers Of Illinois, is now
harvesting his ninth successive fancy
apple crop. He has sprayed his Or
chard every year for ten years. The
spraying with the Bordeaux mixture
and Paris green have kept the foliage
of his trees healthy and vigorous, and
there have been no insects or fungi to
damage the buds. He sold his apples
at the best prices in the market, SIM
ply because he sprayed and kept his
trees in the best Of condition. Apples
Of his class are now selling in the
Nashville market at $1.25 per bushel,
while unsprayed apples grown in Ten
nessee are selling for IS cents. Why
do not the fruit growers of the South
fertilize, spray and cultivate their or

very profitable? Begin pruning in No

The Dairyman's Mistake.

Owners of milk cows often make the
mistake of supposing that a young COW
with her first calf will give only milk
enough to keep the calf in good condi-
| ton. And so the COW and calf are al
lowed to run together, under the i'm
preston that the COW can be taught
all about submitting to being MIXED
after she has had her second calf.
Two mistakes, at least, are made
in proceeding according to this view.
| Cows are largely the creatures of habit.
With the first calf everything is new
and strange to them, and they then
readily submit to be MIXED, regarding
it as all right. But allow the calves
to run with the cows the first season,
| and a habit becomes formed which
may not be forgotten or overcome in Il
lifetime. When they later submit to
being MIXED, there is very apt to be
an element of protest in the submit
ting. We thus see some Of the effects
of one of the mistakes.
The other, and perhaps greater, mis-
take brings US up facing the condition
where the calf running with the Sun
draws milk every hour o. two. SO that
the milk vessels are not diStended
with milk, though the quantity secret
ed in a given time may be quite large.
And yet this is the proper time for
~distending the milk ducts and expand
ing the udder to a good capacity for
holding milk.
If the wrong course is taken about
these matters trouble is almost GER
tain to be realized when the mex or
second calf comes. Then the wish will
be to have the milk retained for twelve
hours.
If an error like that to which We
have referred was made at the outset
the udder is now more liable than it
otherwise would be to become hard;
perhaps milk will be found leaking
from the teats; perhaps nature accom-
modateS the quantity OF milk to the
capacity to retain in, and so the cow
becomes permanently a smaller mixer.
Much Of the future character of the
COW depends on the way in which she
is managed and cared for when she has
her first calf.-Home and Farm.

Why the "Butter Will Not Come"


We are receiving a great many H.
troubles connected with churning,
| showing that at this season of the year
difficulty in churning is quite general.
1t is with hopes of reaching some
who may need help along this line that
these few hints are offered.
In order to understand and treat sue
cessful1y the troubles connected with
churning, we must understand the
process of churning. The fat in milk
and cream is not in solution, but ex-
lists as minute globules. They are so
| small as to be seen only by the aid Of
the microscope. Churning is merely
causing these little fat particles to
unite until they become visible. then
the butter is said to 'break." When
they have reached the size Of wheat
kernels the churning should be stopped.
Therefore anything that tends to pro-
duce a hard fat, tends to prolong the
time required for churning, because
when hard, these little balls of fat will
not unite when knocked together.
1t is pertinent that we inquire what
brings about this hard condition of the
fat. Among the most important causes
of hard fat may be mentioned the fol-
lowing:
1. Cows nearly dry.
2. Effect of food.
3. Cold temperature.
There is a change that takes place in
both the size and texture of the fat
globules in milk as the Iactation period
advances. The milk from cows nearly
dry or giving only small amounts Of
milk contain fat globules that are COM
paratively small in size and very firm
in texture, both of which retard the
ease of churning.
Certain kinds of food tend to produce
a hard condition of the fat in milk.
Some grains, and especially ~cottonseed
meal, cause the fat to become very
hard.
Too low a temperature is one of the
most common troubles and the il
most easily remedied. A few degrees
of temperature makes a big difference.
By using a dairy thermometer a few
times you can determine the exact
temperature to be used under your
conditions, always bearing in mind that
the lower the temperature that you
can use and get butter in a reasonable
length of time Thirty minutes), the bet
ter will be the quality of the butter,
and the more butter will be made.
To remedy these defects, bear in
mind the causes as noted above and
take these precautions:
1. Try and have some fresh COWS in
your herd at this season Of the year.
.. The churn should not be over half
full.
8. Do not feed excessive amounts Of
cottonseed meal and dry roughage. If
possible, provide some succulent food
like roots and ensilage.
4. See that the cream is at the
proper temperature for churning (siXty
degrees to siXty-twO degrees).
5. If trouble is experienced in churn-
ing, a vigorous souring of the cream
will be found beneficial. During the
fall and winter many times the cream
does not readily sour, so it is kept at
a high temperature. The quality Of
such butter is not good, A much bet
fer method is to add a little sour milk
or buttermilk to the cream and hold
at or near the churning temperature
until sufficiently soured.-J. G. Kendall,
y. & NJ. College, West Raleigh, y. c.

This is a question about which peach
growers differ very widely. Some
claim that fifteen by fifteen feet is SUI
fcient. Others say sixteen by eighteen.
Many adhere to the general rule of
twenty by twenty as giving the best
results in the long run. The latter
distance we always advise.
For the best results, planting should
be done in November. Trees should
be ordered tc arrive about the 10th.
The soil should be previously prepared
and planting should proceed at once.

LAUS MORTIS.

Nav. why should I fear Death,
Who oives us life, and in exchange takes breath:
He is like cordial Spring
That lifts above the soil each buried thing
Like Autumn. kind and brief
The frost that chirs the branches, frees the Leaf
Like Winters stormy hours
That spread their fleece of snow to save the flowers
The lordiest of all things
Life lends us only feet, Death gives us wings!
Fearing no covert thrust,
Let me walk onward. armed with valiant trust;
Dreadng no unseen knife,
Across Deaths threshold step from life to HE!

Whether We wear a crown or bear a yoke,
Laid in one equal bed,
When once your coverlet OF grass Is spread,
What daybreak need you fear?
The love win rule you there which guides you here!
Where Life. the Sewer, stands,
Scattering the ages from his swinging hands,
Thou waitest, Reaper lone,
Until the multitudinors grain hath grown.
Scythe-bearer, when thy blade
Harvests my flesh, let me be unafraid!
Gods husbandman thou art!-
In His unwithering sheaves, oh, bind my heart!
