The Peach.
It must be honestly confessed that, as
scientific horticulturists, the majority of
us know very little about the peach.
Stop 1 I may be too fast in this proposi
tion ; wefl, let it be modified by saying
that very little definite information is to
be met with in our periodicals rcepccting
the peach.
Since A. J Downing wrote up the his
tory and practice of peach-growing as an
orchard crop, few satisfactory experiments
have come within our observation calcu
lated to throw a satisfactory light on the
want of success which has, in the majority
of cases, attended the extensive culture of
this fruit.
Too much like many other ventures,
“pcacliraising has had its day.”
This idea might be accepted without
comment hut for the fact that under cer
tain circumstancos, and in various sections
of the country, at intervals, fair crops of a
fair quality are produced. But what is
more important, individual trees, in many
sections, arc found to produce abundant
crops of the largest and finest fruit, with
out, it would seem, any special care or at
tention. Such trees are produced from
chance pits, cither deposited as an experi
ment in private yards or gardens, or spring
up spontaneously from the pits cast away
by chance. In either ease the result is of
equal importance in demonstrating that
good peaches and an abundant crop may
be obtained from such individual trees,
leading us to the inquity, why this result
in these exceptional cases ?
That there are hundreds of such
instances of chance seedlings producing
luscious fruit, and an abundance of it, it
is presumed no one will question who has
been a close observer or frequent atten
dant at fruit exhibitions.
Nothing connected with our fruit cul
ture is more striking than the rapid de
cline of the peach crop in many sections
of the Middle States. It can scarcely be
credited that, in twenty years, districts of
New Jersey have fallen off from thousands
of bushels of choice fruit to a few bushels
of like quality; the remainder being spot
ted, second rate, or almost worthless fruit.
Yet who can doubt but that negligent
cultivation and a want of due attention to
the requirements of this unacolimated tree
have been the chief causes of the dete
rioration ?
Changes in the atmospheric conditions
of our climate have, without doubt, had
much to do with the recent failure of the
peach, as all our orchard fruits appear to
be on the decline during the past quarter
of a century. Atmospheric changes can
not, however, account for the entire fail
ure ; several other matters bear a part of
the blame. Various reports of reliable 1
and interested growers combine to place
considerable weight on the nature of the :
6oil, and many of them express their be
lief in the absence in many soils, other
wise apparen tly suitable, of some “un known
ingredient” which the peach demands; :
this is but negative information. Other)
more certain defects are readily detected,
such, for example, as the general exhaus
tion of the thin sandy soil chiefly selcc
ted for peach orchards; the exhaustion of
the vigorous constitution of the trees by
injudicious selection of diseased or dcbili
tatod pits; budding by selecting cions ,
from one-year-old immature trees, in which ',
the wood-producing cells only have been !
developed, inattention to the selection of
n proper site, in which the tree will be ex- 1
posed during the early spring and late
fall, so as to avoid the premature starting
of the sap before the severe frosts have
disappeared, thereby exposing the expan
ding buds, and in autumn or early winter
shelter preventing the full development
aud maturation of the wood by the partial
ripeniug of the foliage—these arc some of
the causes which, in my mind, have led to
the failure of the peach.—[Rurul World.

Support lour Home Paper.
We recommend the following as emi
nently worthy of consideration. It will
suit this meridian as well as any other:
Whatever patronage may be accorded
to the city journals, whether on account
of their cheapncs or the “general” news 1
they contain, the importance of sustaining
“home papers” should not be overlooked.
As the medium for local transactions, and
for furthering some interests, their value
can hardly be overestimated. The fol
lowing article, from the Cleveland Herald,
presents the question in its true light:
“We know of nothing that is more dis- ;
heartening to the publisher of a country
newspaper than to be told, as lie often is, 1
when soliciting subscribers: “I feel too 1
poor to take your paper; I take the Her- 1
aid (or some other huge foreign weekly,) 1
and it only costs mo two dolluts a year, '
and contains twice as much reading as 1
yours does”—when the receipts of one ‘
week of the office named above would be 1
double the yearly receipts of his country I
paper, and when, if the foreign paper ■
wero published seventy years, it would j *
not result in as much benefit to himself 1
and country in which he lives as would a 1
single week’s edition of his own country 1
paper. Recollect, if a home paper is to 1
be supported, home influence must do it. *
Every dollar sent to the Eastern paper is a
at the expense of the local paper. A 1
county acquires prominence through its 1
papers more than any other way, and to *
every one who has county interests at stake ^
his home paper is a necessity. Never will 1
such a man take a paper printed away M
from his home until he is able to take a «
second paper. His first will be bis home
sheet, and he will so identify his own iu- **
terest with that of his subscription as a M
matter of as early duty as the paymeut of ^
taxes.” k
Apple Sweetmeats.—To twelve lbs. ”
of sweet apples, add four pounds ofsu- 0
gar, one pint of vinegar, l’ut the vin- 0
egar and tMigar together to dissolve, o
then put in the apples, with lemon, c
ginger root, clove:- Ac. I r
Soil For Tree*.
Because the roots of a tree strike deep
nto the ground, that is no sign that deep
lulture is preferable. Will the roots,
leep in the ground, do as well as those
tear the surface, the soil the same? No
>nc will say they will. Wo know that
he sun warming the ground, and the air
icnetrating it, is an advantage. The best
;rowth is made near the surface. Culti
ratc, pulverize, and enrich the soil, as
leep as the roots penetrate, the whole as
icar the surface as possible, and the height
>f success is attained.
The difficulty is, in this case, that the
'round will too soon become exhausted,
io that manure will have to be generously
•esorted to. This will remedy the evil.
But the evil cannot be remedied if the
■oots extend deep, as they get beyond the
each of manure and the plow. In poor,
;rude soil, they cannot thrive. In selec
;ing a site for an orchard, it is necessary
.o have this thing in view.
Some soils warm deeply; these are the
eachy, gravelly soils. The roots here,
irill penetrate in all directions, and extend
iownward to, a great extent. They seem
x) obtain considerable nourishment. Such
'round is usually the best for trees, as it
cts in the air aod attracts warmth by its
ircnaceous quality. The water, also, is at
>qce removed; fertilizers will readily
aenctratc ; and if not too loachy, will re
gain till the trees have taken up the
itrength.
Weighing on the Farm.
A balf-busbel measure is considered
ndispensable by every farmer. lie docs
not sell his potatoes or grain, guessing at
he contents of the bin or the nile on the
[loot—it must be measured. With this
instrument at hand, he may know just
bow much corn is fed to the hogs and
poultry; how many oats to the horses;
bow much seed is sown upon the land,
md many other points equally valuable to
enow. 13ut a good weighing scale is pos
sessed by compartively few, although its
iso would in many ways be even more
raluablc than that of the half-bushel.
For instance, in selling live stock, the
vcight is usually estimated by the drover
>r butcher buying at the farmer’s door.
Long experience enables the buyer to
vcigh them very correctly with the eye,
md thus he has the inexperienced seller
it an advantage, which he is not slow to
isc. A good Fairbanks’ standard . plat
brm scale would save its cost in a few
luch transactions.
The weight of wool, butter, and other
arm products, should be ascertained at
ionic, to prevent mistakes and dishonesty
n weighing after the goods have been
ent to market. The weight of grain per
jushel, the gain of cattle under different
ystems of feeding, (exactly when an ani
nal ceases to increase by feeding,) and
nany other important facts, can readily be
letcrmined by having a good scale. It
hould be part of the furniture of every
arm. Fairbanks’ scales have been named
n this connection, as being entirely rolia
de, having been adopted as the staudard
n this and other countries.
Five minutes.
Not one young man in fifty knows the
alue of five minutns—not the general
■alue as it used to be talked to us in
clool, when we appreciated time only as
t divided us from our marbles or our
tame of ball. We mean the actual value
if five minutes as appreciated by the man
vlio has accustomed himself to save every
ive minutes which he has au opportunity
,o waste—the actual value as seen at the
md of a year, in which not more than five
i day have been saved in gaining informs
ion.
“IIow shall I save the five minutes
By a few weeks’ course of discipline, dur
ing which a hibit of turning to a book,
vhenever one has nothing else to do, is
ormed. The habit is worth more to a
roung man than even the habit of devo
ing half an hour a day to reading. The
trongcr the habit grows, the more time
here will be saved.
We do not mean that it is well to have
i book near the counting desk. On the
contrary, we believe that in business hours
lothing but business should be attended
o. By dividing the attention, little is
;aiued in the way of literary information,
ind everything is lost in the way of busi
icss promptness
It is in the hours out of business that
10 many five minutes are wasted
In waiting for breakfast, for instance—
ome of us now and then get down before
lie last bell rings—there may not be time
0 take up a book. Take it up, nevertho
ess; it is easily laid down again; and
ome delay in the kitchen may give you
ive minutes’ time. Some thought, or
within
hat five minutes, which will be of use and
ileasurc to you in after life—to think of, j
ffor nothing else. So, too, in waiting!
or the dinner bell and for supper, and !
uring the evening there arc very many |
imes in which there is a spare five min-J
tes, and which is usuully spent in think
og of business or staring into the fire, j
iow, it is no exertion to take up a book
nd to read, but one who has not acquired
iic habit of doing so, never thinks of the
lings except at stated periods, or wbeu
e lias abundance of time and wishes to
ill some of it. A person who has ac
uired this valuable habit takes up a book
neonsciously. He acquires information
ithout realising that he is doing so, and ,
ithout the least exertion. •
Acquire this habit, then, reader, if you |
ive not already done so. It will require
me exertion at first, but it will soon be
line, like other habits, second nature,
ou will then be constantly accumulating
aowlcdgc. Your mind will be growing i
1 unconsciously ns your body grew in
lildhood. Uenieiuber, pick up a book—
Dell it—if you only look at its title-page,
r a preface, and arc obliged to close it—* j
fcrywberc—at all times—subject, of.
nurse, to the demands of busiucss and the
ales of propriety
