brought by Mrs Ruth Noyes Heinze

f. Augustus Heinze, against +. f.
Hutton & Co, members of the Stock
Exchange. She sued through the

100 Ton Silo For S1OO.

James Houchin has eight Silos
on his farm in Cole county, and
cannot understand why any far

to think thero was something

to an Appeal man while at Paris
last Friday. Manufacturers had
iostered this idea in order tc
make people believe they nust
send to a factory for Silo If they
expected to get one that would
be worth anything. 1t is ali

Growing The Peach.

Every farm should have coll
lection of peaches Of good vnrie-
ties. While the peach ia more
uncertain in bearing than some
fruit, due to spring frosts, we
cannot afford to omit it from the
orchard. Good care will also do
much to promote regular bearing.
The peach will fruit in three
years if we'll cared for, while the
apple requires five or six years.
If good market be near, peach
orchard will prove to be a very
profitable investment. On the
Normal School grounds a quar-
ter acre in early peaches produc. :.
ed 80 bushels, which sold for
$4,000, or an average of S400
per acre.
The peach should not be set in
very rich soil, though it will
flourish in most any situation
that is not too wet. A high, dry
ridge or hill is a good location
with a sandy or clay soil. When
trees arrive from q nursery,
prune the roots back to not over
six inches, unless the tree be
very large. Cut all limbs off
smoothly II a yearling tree; If a
two year old with branches, cut
them all off but 3 or 4 and shor-
ten these back to one or two buds
only, having them distributed
around the stem 80 as to form q
we'll balanced top. Start the
heads not two feet from the
ground. Plant trees 20 feet
apart, and cut back the new wood
a third or half every year, prun-
ing 80 as to leave the top well
open to sun and air. This will
result in better color for the fruit
and less tendency to fungus dis
eases.
Peach trees can be set between
young apple trees as fillers. Sew
eral crops of peaches can be
gathered before their growth be-
gins to cramp the apple trees,
but when this happens, they
should be promptly cut out.
The varieties OF the peach are
many and not all Of them are
adaptable to every soil and cli-
mate. The following are some
standard kinds that succeed gen.
orally throughout the country
and to these can be added sorts
that have been tested locally and
have proved good. Nearly in
order of ripening we name the
