The Persimmon.
Messrs. Editors American Farmer:
•j In tlic Maryland Farmer, Vol. 6, page
51, I find W. D. Bracken ridge’s reply to
James Scofield, relative to budding or
' grafting the Peach on Persimmon stocks.
Mr. B. replies in the negative. I would
like to ask Mr. B, for others and my
own benefit, if the Persimmon is propaga
ted in a similar manner as Peach stocks
are, if they are grown from seed exdu-
’ pively, and what length of time is required
• to produce fruit from the seed. There
is a tree on an adjoining farm to mine (the
only one I have seen) that bears fruit three
inches in circumference. The tree grows
low, the blanches rounded as a stretched
umbrella and quite ornamental. The com
mon Persimmon tree grows high, and
shape of the branches irregular, but as
regards product there is no difference.
As the Persimmon is of slow growth I sup
pose it will be necessary to first grow the
trees, nursery fashion, and when of sui
table size transplant in various depart
meats or form an orchard.
These large Persimmons ripen, or are
sufficiently frosted about the 10th of
November, when green fruit is scarce, and
I think will sell at a profit equal to the
Plum or Apricot. If no fruit is borne in
our time, it will at least be a rich legacy
. left to our children.
_• Plowman.
[We referred this letter to Mr. Bracken-
ridge, who answersas below.—Eds. A. F.]
Messrs. Editors American Farmer.
In our endeavor to reply to the letter
of your correspondent, ‘ Plowman,” in
regard to the raising and propagation
of the native Persimmon, and its varieties,
we feel that but little light can be thrown
on the subject by us. But this much we
can safely say, that if seed is collected
now, cleaned of the pulp, and put away
in sand during the winter, sowing in
drills 2j or 3 inches deep during March or
April, (hopping the seed about as thick
' ns you would Snap Beans, or if your land
is iight and warm, sow in the fall, but in
either case they should be cultivated and
clean of weeds »o soon as tho plants ap
pear above the ground. By so doing at
the end of the first year you will have
stocks from 1 to 2 feet high, fit to replant
as an orchard into nursery rows, on which
approved sorts can be worked. But just
here comes the rub! How are the fine
kinds to be propagated? Is it to be by
1 budding, grafting or inarching?
In the Col. of the "Maryland Farmer,
to which your correspondent refers, w
stated that we had tried to bud the large
Mabola variety of the Phillipine Island,
and. for reasons there given, had failed;
but this failure does not prove that we, or
any one else may not yet succeed in bud
ding them where both stock and season
may prove more favorable for the opera
tion. It would be a strong point gained
if we coultl only propagate some of the
delicious varieties as we do the Peach.
In order to encourage “Plowman” and
Other progressives in this line, we know
that they can be multiplied by the process
of grafting, for we have in our pessession
Beveral varieties of the DiospyrusKaki or
largo Orange Persimon of Japan, all of
which bear marked evidence of having
been grafted by the Japanese low down
on the collar-of the stock, or crown of the
root. The leaves of all the Japan kinds
that we have seen are larger, rounder and
more downy than any native variety that
we have observed. The fruit of many
kinds in China and Japan are also larger
some of them as big as an ordinary sized
Peach, and in both of these countries the
fruit is sprinkled with sugar, and preserved
in the same way that Figs and Dates are
elsewhere. And who doubts, after having
seen of late years the delicious varieties
of Grapes which have sprung from the
Fox and Chicken Grapes of our woods
and thickets, but that at no distant day
we shall also have luscious kinds of Per
simmons served up at our dessert tables?
We know that from the commsn kinds,
with the addition of a little malt, a good
liquor is distilled, and without malt a good
Beer is brewed.
For stock we advise sowing seeds of
the strong growing kinds, and farther,
as a hint to "Plowman,” to graft and sow
seed of his “three inch in circunference,”
variety, from which he or any one else
would have reason to expect good results.

The Democracy.
Washington, December 11.—A promi
nent Democratic Senator said to-day that
the Democrats, in nominating Fernando
Wood for Speaker of the House and Mr.
Thunmubf as President of the Senate pro
tern, ltaa a definite object in view. :ind
that was a preliminary movement towards
the thorough organization of the Demo
cratic party for the future. At a consul
tation between leading Democrats some
days ago it was decided after proper con
sideration of the subject that an earnest
effort ought to be'made to reorganize the
party, and that no more opportune mo
ment could possibly present itself than
now, at the organization of a new Con
gress. It was agreed- that an eastern man
should be nominated, and one from the
West for President pro tern of the Senate
and this was carried out by the selection
of Mr. Wood for the first position and
Mr. Thurman for the second. The same
authority says that the Democrats in
Congress are determined henceforth to
be united, and endeavor to build up their
party to its former strength, believing
that a Democratic party success can be
achieved in the next Congressional and
Presidential elections.
Recipe for Curing Meat.
The Germantown Telegraph gives the
following: To one gallon of water take
one and a half pounds of salt, half a
pound of sugar, half an ounce of salt
petre. half an ounce of potash; in this
ratio the pickle can be increased to any
quantity desired. Let these be boiled
together until all the dirt from the sugar
rises to the top and is skimmed offl—
Then throw it into a tub to cool, and
when cold, pour it over your beef or pork
to remain the usual time—say four or
five weeks. The meat must be well cov
ered with pickle and should not be put
down for at least two days after killing,
during which time slightly sprinkle with
powdered saltpetre, which removes all the
surface blood, etc., leaving the meat fresh
and clean. Some omit boiling the pickle,
and find it to answer well, though the
operation of boiling purifies the pickle,
by throwing off tlie dirt always to be
found in salt and sugar. If this recipe
is properly tried it will never be abandon
ed. There is none that surpasses it, if
so good.

FARMING IN THE SOUTH.
One of the greatest errors in Southern
fanning has been the resting the soil
after it was worn out, that it may be
recuperated by the slow process of the
growth and decay of crop after crop of
weeds. Better rest such land before it
is exhausted by a crop of peas or other
green crops ploughed in; and save the
years it will take to fertilize the soil by
the scanty growth of weeds. The appli
cation of very little farm-yard or special
compost manure, with the aid of the at
mosphere, will give a green crop, and if
two such crops are necessary to bring the
land to a bearing fertility, it will save
time and be more economical than to
lose the use of the land for a much longer
period, and then have to manure it be
fore it will bring paying crops.—N. C

Amid the chorus of complaint about

Chicago Tribune:
Intense feeling has been excited at
Madison, Wisconsin, over the appoint
ment of Attorney General Williams as
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court—
Not to put too fine a point upon it, it is
charged that Mr. Williams received $10,-
000 for his opinion in favor of the Wis
consin Central Railroad land Claim
(which seems incredible) and that in oth
er matters relating to that State his con
duct has given rise to the gravest sos-
