all varieties with fuzz on them are
less liable to rot than the smoother
varieties does not agree with my ex-
perience.
Neither can correct conclusion be
drawn from one or two seasons ex.
perience, for soil, location, fertilization
and culture also are factors in the rot
problem. Fruit on rankly-grown
tree is much more subject to rot than
on one more moderately grown. Yet
| think the weather has more to do
with 1t than any one factor. One
year all our early peaches were quite
subject to rot, while the next year
there was very little rot Yet with I'M
favorable weather Champions were
practically total loss, Crosby, stump
and late varieties practically free.
do not think the matter of fuzz VS..
rot worth considering as a factor in
setting an orchard, except people do
not wish to buy fuzz.
In regard to hardness of bud. a
good frost peach we'll grown will stand
hAcAO NOAu IAau any OluSl peach tASc
we ever had on our grounds. And
varieties of the frost type (if 1 may
call them so), Crosby, Pratt's, Hills
Chilli, etc, are more hardy in bud
than many other varieties, especially
of the Crawford class, but with the
varieties Of the Chinese type, which
bear young and have hardy bud,
what little hardness, If any the fuzzy
varieties possess above them is much
more than offset by their failings.-

EARLY LETTER ON THE UNION
DIR. Rush Feared Too Quick Peace
with England Would BE Harmful.

DIR. Rush Feared "A Too Quick Peace
with England Would BE Harmful.
One Of the finest specimens of let
ters in q recent sale Of autographs by
Stan V. Henkels in Philadelphia, was
written on April Is, 1882, by DR.. Ben
jamin Rush, signer of the declara-
ton of independence, to Maj Gen
Nathaniel Greene, says the New York
Times
DR.. Rush was physician-general of
the revolutionary army also. He prac-
ticed his profession in Philadelphia
and during the yellow fever epidemic
there in 1888 he treated 1t success
fully and 1t has been estimated that
he saved from death no less than
5000 persons.
He was firm supporter of the fed
eral constitution and his letter is
chiefly about that subject He says:
1T is true France has done wonders
for us. But may not even this have
beneficial effect on our country here
after. 1t seems intended by heaven to
teach US the necessity of perpetual
union and confederation II the com
bined force Of all the States was un-
equal to the power of Britain, what
can be expected from the spirit or re-
sources of any one of them? | am so
perfectly satisfied thai the future
peace, safety, freedom of America
depend upon our union that
view the debt of our country
with pleasure, especially that part
of it we owe to ourselves.
Our danger at present arises
principally from two causes. First a
too speedy peace with Britain, and,
second, from Britain's acknowledging
our independence. | wish the first
may be deferred till a naval war has
given us as many fleets and admirals
as land war has given us armies and
generals, The last event would I'M
nerve the resentments of America and
introduce among us all the conse-
quence of English habits and manners
with English manufactures. To pre-
vent this and enable us to transmit
our feeling to posterity, / wish Brit
ain for fifty years to come may CON
tinue in all her acts of government to
call US rebels and 'deluded subjects
We stand in need of all the follies
and vices of our enemies to give us a
national character"
On Sept 90, 1888. the dehnitive
treaty of peace was signed. by which
the independence of the thirteen
United States was acknowledged by
Great Britain. 1t was not. however,
until after Jays treaty in 1874 that
this original treaty OF peace was fully
executed by Great Britain.

A Fruit Tree Doctor Fake.

The latest fake practiced on farm
ers is done by man who visits the
Mace and claims that he has been
sent out by the State to examine fruit
tree diseases, says an exchange. The
fellow will go over the orchard and
mark all trees which he claims are af-
fected. Shortly after his visit a con-
federate will appear and say that he
has a preparation which will cure the
disease for which the tree is con
demned and will contract to inject a
fluid into the roots for certain price.
Both men are swindlers and should be
run off the place with a shotgun. The
only men empowered to inspect orch
ards are the county inspectors, who
are known to most fruit growers.

In twenty years-between 1873 and

the inland seas, marine records show.
The loss of cargo in this period of
less than one-fourth of the years of
navigation on the lakes was $4,000 900.
From this estimate 1t is figured that
the total number of vessels wrecked
reaches $4,000 and the amount of treas
