TO START AN ORCHARD CHEAP
LY.
There are probably many farmers,
especially among those juststarting, who
are anxious to have orchards of choice
fruit as soon as possible, but do not feel
able to incur the expense of buying one
or two year old trees from the nursery.
So they postpone planting from year to
year, hoping to be able, after awhile to
devote enough money to this object.
Northern nurserymen have long been in
the habit of supplying tocustomeis what
are called root grafts. These are nothing
more than cions of the variety of trees
desired, grafted into year-old seedlings,
which are grown for the purpose. The
little seedling—about the size of a com
mon lead pencil -is taken up from the
ground, the stem cut off just above the
beginning of the rootlets, the cion in
serted by one of the methods known to
grafters, wrapped with waxed cloth or
thread and is then ready to ship any de
sired distance. They are sold in quanti
ties at about two dollars per hundred, for
apples and other seed fruits. When re
ceived by the purchaser they should be
set in rich mellow soil about one foot
apart in three feet rows, and cultivated
with care until a year old, when they
will be ready to set in the orchard.
We do not know of any Southern nur
seryman who sells root-grafts, but see no
reason why they should not, as they
propagate their stock in this way. Per
naps some of them depend largely on
others, who make a specialty of grafting,
for root grafts, from which to grow one i
and two year old trees for bigger prices. !
But almost any farmer who can handle |
a pocket knife skillfully, may do his own
grafting. For this pnqtose it is best to |
purchase the young seedlings (apples) 1
from Northern nurserymen, as they can
grow them more cheaply than we can in
our long-summer climate. We have ■
bought them by the thousand at about
three dollars, trimmed ready for grafting.
A few two year old trees of approved
varieties may be purchased to supply
cions, if they cannot be had from bear
ing trees at home or in the neighbood
(which is desirable).
Grafting is generally confined to apple,
pear, and other seed fruits, but peaches
and other stone fruits are sometimes
propagated in this way. The latter
should be grafted in January and Feb
ruary, and seed fruits in February,March i
and April.
But stone fruits are more easily and j
successfully propagated by budding, I
which is performed during the period of
active summer growth.
If any of our readers desire to learn i
the details of grafting and budding fruit !
trees, we recommend the purchase of i
“Barry’s Fruit Garden,” or “White’s j
Gardening for the South.” which may be i
had of Orange, Judd Co., New York.
The last named book is by a Georgian
and is standard authority on all subjects
connected with fruit and vegetable grow
ing.
CHECKING COTTON.
M. 11. Zellner, in Southern Cultivator, \
for January, gives “a few thoughts” on
the subject, but barely broaches the i
question. The objections he finds to i
this method of planting are thus itemized: I
The damage from cutworms; dying out
after it is thinned to a stand ; the time I
required to lay off both ways; the diffl- I
culty of keeping furrows so as to know
where to plant; the washing it causes on
billy land, and the time required to drop
the seed. Quite a long list, truly ; but
we think some of them are of little force,
while one is insuperable—that of liability
to washing on broken lands. We would ■
not think of planting any cultivated crop 1
in checks on very’ rolling land.
But first, the advantages of hill plant- I
ing—including bunching the seed at in
tervals without regard to checks. We
tried the plan two years in succession on j
about forty acres of cotton, and were well ■
pleased with the results. First we found |
that there was a great saving of seed,one
third of a bushel per acre giving a better
permanent stand th tn a bushel or more
planted with a Dow-Law planter. This
saving is an item of very considerable im
portance, especially when highly selected
choice seed are purchased or used.
The best selected varieties of seed cost
Cerhaps an average of one dollar per
ushel, and are really worth much more
to the farmer in comparison with seed
from the “run of the crop” such as are
usually planted.
A bushel of cotton-seed of ordinary
size is about 125,0J0 seeds; and this
quantity will give about 20 seeds for
every square yard in an acre. One third j
of these, or say eight seeds in a hill, will 1
give a good stand under ordinarily favor
able circumstances, and will come up
better under unfavorable circumstances
—for instance when the ground has bak-1
ed over them afiera rain—when concen
trated in bills, than when scattered thin
ly all along the row. They help each other
up. Moreover, if only a portion of the
seed come up, they will come at the right
place. t I
Another advantage we found in the
atnonnt of hoeing. '1 his is especially true :
when planted in checksand plowed both !
ways, as may be done on level land. I
But even when not checked so as to per- j
mit plowing both ways, a skillful plow
man will be able to cover the step between
the bunches and save a great deal of hoe I
work.
If the seed are rolled in a good super
phosphate (they should be rolled bv all !
means) the planter is enabled to apply in j
this way ten or fifteen pounds of fertili- j
zera where It will “do the most good,” i
giving strong, healthy plants.
We found other advantages in detail,
but will now refer to a principle in the
culture of farm crops, that we think will
apply in most cases, viz: the individuiliz \
ing the plants. If we reduce the number
of plants and distribute them with
mathematical regularity over the area
planted, each individual plant will have
more space and plant food, including ap
plied manures, and there will be a cor
responding perfection of development,
greater productiveness, and more con
tinuous and later beating, and, at the
same time, less liability to disease and to
injury from dry or wet weather. We will
not elaborate these points, but simply
remark that most of the exceptionally
large yields of cotton reported were from
areas planted and cultivated in hills.
The objections cited by Mr. Zellner
will be noticed in a future article before
planting time.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 188 I.
IMPROVED SEEDS.
For the last ten years a maximum of
attention has been given by farmers to
the purchase and application of commer
cial fertilizers, and more or less to com
posting home manures with acid phos
phate. It has been a sort of farmers’
hobby-horse on which we expected to
ride into prosperity. But we notice with
satisfaction that, of late years, there is a
wide-spread inquiry for improved seeds
—corn, cotton, wheat and oats. While
we would not underrate any of the agen
cies which promote success in farming,
the careful selection and use of the best
seeds of the best varieties of plants cul
tivated on the farm is of prime impor
tance. The experience of nearly every
one will testify that small investmentsin
good seeds, whether in the way of mon
ey paid or care bestowed in "selecting
from home-grown, pay better dividends
than almost any other. The price de
manded by seed-growers for selected or
improved seeds, seems high when com
pared with the market value of the same
when sold for consumption as food or
for manufacturing purposes. But when
the increased yield of the improved seed
is considered, the price of such will, in
reality, be low.
If a bushel of improved or selected
seed corn will increase the yield of a ten
acre lot only ten per cent, or say one
bushel per acre, it is plain that the seed
would be cheap at two or three dollars
per budiel. And so with cotton, wheat
oats, etc., as well as garden crops.
It is high time that inquiries were be
ing made by farmers who intend to get
better seed; and those who have them
to sell should advertise. The columns
of this paper are open, and it has a very
extensive circulation among farmers.
CLIMA TE— LOCALIZING EFFECT
US AGRICULTURE.
We have several times taken occasion
to remark on the folly of Southern fai m -
ers trying to adopt the methods, teach
ings and crops of Northern and English
farmers. Under the above caption the
editor of the Southern. Cultivator alludes
to the same “blindness,” and gives the
following results of observation on the
sunshine of England:
“At the Greenwich Observatory, ar
rangement has been introduced tor re
cording the duration of sunshine, the
small amount of which that was vouch
safed in the twelve months ending in
October, 1879, will astonish eveiy one.
Duringa year, in England, if there was
no cloud’or fog to prevent it, the sun
would shine 4,442 hours—that is, it is
above the horizon that length of time.
I n the twelve months above mentioned,
the sun actually shone 971 hours only.
During January, 1879, when the sun
might have shone 259 hours, it actually
did so for just fifteen hours, or rather less
than half an hour a day on the average.
And in the month previous there were
but 16 hours o' sunshine. June, 1879,
was the brightest month of the twelve,
but even then there were only 142 hours
of sunshine out of a possible of 495
hours.”
Farmers, Read!—No other time in
the year is so well adapted to reading as
the long evenings of w’inter. A great
deal of cultivation can be done by the
fireside, and an application of “brain
manure” can be made now that will give
a good return in the future. In spite of
the sneers at “book-farming,’’ the world
is fast learning that the experience of
others, as stated in a journal or book, is
none the less valuable fir being in print.
As works which tieat of the plant in its
relations to the soil, air, water, etc., we
know of none equal to “How Crops
Grow,” and “How Crops Feed,” by Prof.
8. W. Johnson. Whoever masters these
has made good use of his time, and can
never regret the hours thus spent. The
point first to be gained in an agricultural
education is a clear knowledge of first
principles, so far as they have been de
termined, and on this, as a foundation,
one can safely base his study in some
special branch of culture.

PERFECTLY SAFE IN THE MOST INEXPERIENCED HANDS!
For Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cramps, Cholera,
AND ALL THOSE NUMEROUS TROUBLES OF THE STOMACH AND BOWELS
SO PREVALENT AT THIS SEASON,
No Remedy kuown to the Medical Profession has been in use so long and with such uniformly
satisfactory results as
PERRY DAVIS 5 PAIN KILLER
It has been used with such wonderful success in all parts of the world in the treatment of these
difliculties, that it has come to be considered
AN UNFAILING CURE FOR ALL SUMMER COMPLAINTS.
and such it really is when taken in time and according to the very plain directions inclosing
each bottle.
In such diseases, the attack is usually sudden and frequently very acute; but with a
safe remedy at hand tor immediate use, there is seldom danger of the fatal result
which so often follows a few days’ neglect.
The inclination to wait and see if the morrow docs not bring a better feeling, not infrequently
occasions a vast amount of needless suffering, and sometimes costs a life. A timely dose of
Pain Killer will almost invariably save both, and with them the attendant doctor’s fee.
It has stood the test of forty years’ constant use in all countries and climates, and
is perfectly safe in any person’s hands.
It is recommended by Physicians, Nurses in Hospitals, and persons of all classes and
professions who have had opportunity for observing the wonderful results which have always
followed its use.
I h«vp l»ng used the medicine known as PERRY
DAVIS’VKGETABLE PAIN KILLER in my family
and would not on any account be without it. When
Cholera was last epidemic here, I used no medicine
of any sort but the Pain Killer, and although myself
and several members of my family were attacked
severely, I. am happy to say that the Pain Killer was
equal to every emergency. I consider I should not
be doing my duty to the community did I not say
this much. If I were attacked by the Cholera
to-day. Pain Killer would be the only remedy 1
should use. I have thoroughly tested it, and know
it can be relied on.
F. E. BERGINSEND, Galena, Illinois.
No family can afford to be without it, and its price brings it within the reach of all.
The use of one bottle will go further to convince you of its merits than columns of news
paper advertising. Try it, and you will never do without it.

Please read the authentic statements below. Write to the parties and get their views. First
gee the test made by the Agricultural Society of Anson county, N. C.:
Wadesboro, N. C., December 1, 1879.—Afewrz. TF. J McLendon Co.: Gentlemen—Please pay
the premium offered by our Society for the best yield per acre of cotton and corn in this county
by the us** of the “Home Fertilizer,” to Mr. J. B Lindsey. Our committee find by carefiu
measurement that he made 14,000 lbs. see l cotton on 6J4 acres, or about 2,200 lbs. to one acre;
and he also made 185 bushels of corn on KU acres, about <7 bushels to the acre.
JOHN ROBERSON, President
J. A. LEAK. Treasurer.
JOHN PATRICK, Secretary.
The a-lnve extraordinary yield of cotton and corn, made on the average lands of Anson
county, N. C., xpe rks for itself. The amount made with the use of the “Home Fertilizer” alone,
a manure manipulated at home at a cost of n t more than sl6 cash per ton. We can give you
many other cases just as strong and authentic. On the success of the “Home” there are, and
will Im*, hundreds of imitations; formulas started similar to ours for one or two dollars per ton
less of cheap and often impure chemicals. So beware. Buy the genuine, when you know you
will get a good, cheap and reliable manure.
We als’> refer you to the action of the Wythe County Grange, Virginia, and one or two certifi
cates, and ask you to read carefully our book for 1880, with formula, certificates, etc.
At a meeting of the Grange, in Wythe county, Va , bepteinber, 1878, after a careful and ex
haustive examination of the report of their committee selected to report the best and cheapest
fertilizer for wheat, corn and tobacco, they, the committee, reported in favor of the “Home
Fertilizer” of Boykin. Cartner & Co., Baltimore. The report was unanimously adopted and
ordered to be published in the Patron of llusbandru. at Richmond, Va.
Maj. Tiloß. JAS. FINNIE, Chairman, etc.
Then read what Dr. John W. Johnson, of Seri ven county, Ga . says:
ScKiVEN County, Ga , August 7, 1879. - P T. Outland. Esq , Scar boro, Oa.-Dui Sir:
I used the eight tons Home Fertilizer bought of you on both corn and cotton. The excessive
drought prevented its effects being shown on the corn, but it had a marked effect on the cotton,
the laud being old and much worn and fertilized before; yet the result was 240 boils for
a given number of feet on test rows for the Home aud only 27 for the natural land. *1 he cost of
the Home, including expenses for manipulating, etc., are le*s than half the cost of commercial
fertilizers. 1 prefer it to anything of the kind 1 know of. The chemicals 1 know to be good,
and 1 would rather trust the 20 bushels of rich earth taken from my own farm than to buy that
which has been selected with perhaps less care by the makers of the manipulated fertilizers,
besides having to pay freight and haul it from’ the railroad. Please order mo two tons for my
oats this fall, and oblige yours very truly, JOHN W. JOHNSON, M. D.
If you want more evidence and will write us we will give you such as will convince even he
whois interested in some manipulated guano.
