THE PEACH.
TOO MANY VARIETIES.
No other fruit shares half the at
tention with the farmers of this Pe
ninsula, as does the peach. It is one
of the chief staples of the Eastern
Shore of Maryland. No where on
the vast acreage of the Republic is
it grown to a higher standard of ex-
cellence and peifection than here;
the climate and the soil, generally
speaking, being such as are admira
bly suited to the normal requisites,
for the full development and longev
ity ot the tree. However great,
though, may be the preference man
ifested lor this fruit, it not unfre-
quently occurs, that the orchards are
shamefully mistreated in various
ways—sometimes staived and stint
ed for want ot proper manurial mat
ter in the soil—or perhaps enfeebled
by too liberal and ignorant applica
tion of the knife and shears—again,
absolute neglect in plowing and
keeping the soil in loose and friable
condition. And too often, where
the plow is used in the orchard, it is
run too deeply, contact with, mang
ling and bruising the roi ts of the
trees. How often we see peach
orchards entirely defoliated, as un
naturally early as the middle of Sep
tember, and in some cases even a
fortnight earlier. T need not advert
to the cause. '•'•Thorough, cultiva-
tijn” is voluminously significant, a-
like to the fruit grower anti farmer,
and will perform winders even on
"lean" soils. Another point, and
the only one upon which 1 shall offer
any suggestions, and that is one as
sociated w.th the wearying labors of
the brotherhood of my own calling,
viz: The unreasonably long lists of
varieties; every catalogue, regard -
leas of the nuisery it represents, con
tains names ot tro:n 2-5 to 75 differ
ent kinds of peaches, from 2 to six
of which ripen at the same time, or
so nearly so, as to be classed in the
same “picking.” The experienced
peach grower will not have more
than 12 or 15 kinds at most in his
orchard ; and it is a fact conceded
by the most shrewd and successful
growers that the “smaller the num
ber of varieties, extending over the
peach season, the less trouble and
more profil ” These varieties be
ing selected with a judicious knowl
edge of their actual merits and char
acteristics as market peaches with a
view as well to the nature of the
soil in which they are to be grown,
as some kinds are better adapted
to certain soils than others, or in
more truthful and reliable logic,
some variet es will stand more abuse
than others, and will therefore bat
tle more vigorously and successful
ly against the stinting influence of
the uncongeniality—sectionally de
picted in soils for want of proper
preparation. I might cite numerous
instances that have come under my
notice where the trees of a standard
or well known variety, produced
very ordinary fruit. And in another
orchard, within half a mile of the
first, the same variety was every
thing that could be reasonably
desired. The cause—condition of
the soil. I speak of orchards only
moderately well cultivated, for the
thoroughly cultivated ones are loo
far between to draw fair compari
sons from, and the too many neg
lected ones are not worthy of notice.
But why is it that nurserymen do
voluntarily heap upon themselves
the worrying trouble of keeping up
this extended list of varieties, when
two-thirds of them are really super
fluous and tend more to confuse and
mislead the inexperiencetl planters
than to benefit anybody? There is
no practical nurseiyman who does
not know that a majority of the va
rieties of different classes of fruitare
seldom called for in the selections of
the successful planters and grow
ers—that it is a matter of no little
inconvenience to themselves to keep
distinct and pure so many kinds;
and lastly, that the eccentricities and
peculiarities in the whimsical de
sires of the few, who only want what
their neighbors have not got, are en
couraged at the expense—of who?
Not the cynical fruiterer, whose ap
petite is pampered more upon oddi
ty and uniqueness than upon the
luscious excellence of the good and
profitable varieties. Two classes of
individuals bear the greater part of
this expense, viz: the nurserymen
and the inexperienced planter. It
is not presumption to assert that ev
ery nurseryman, w’ho honorably ful
fils his calling, has a reliable knowl
edge, based upon personal experi
ence and practice, of all the leading
kinds of fruit; neither does the edu
cation of the good nurseryman slop
here, for if he be faithful and com
petent in his calling, surrounded by
the various facilities for obtaining
knowdedge relating to his business,
as at this age he should be well post
ed on the new as well as the old.
Such being the truth, we know that
in twenty varieties of the peach, can
he imbodied all that the best inter
ests of the orchardist can claim, and
by having no more, we can remedy
the many evils Lhat unhappily the
inexperienced planter falls heir to.
Kilim? Sassafras and Persimmons
W. S. Walker, Kent Co., Md.,
says: “Cut them off just below the
surface of the ground, and apply a
small handful of sail to each. 1 have
killed thousands in this way. Do
not attempt to grub them up, as you
separate ihe roots, and hence do not
get the salt into the general circula
tion, which you will do by culling
them just below the surface. My
plan is to arm every man with a
grubbing hoe and a bag of salt, anti
make him apply the salt to each
plant as he cuts it off.” Joel A.
Burtoe,Mitchell, Iiul., writes: “Say
to ‘J. A. R.’ of Georgia, top his
Persimmons 3 to 4 feet from the
ground, about the middle of June,
at the same time removing all the
laterals. Then rub off the sprouts
as often as they are 4 inches long.
None of them will live over two sum
mer^ I have tried this treatment
and know it to be effectual ”

W ould we not, thus wise, escape
the harsh censure (just and unjusi)
lhat is deluged in copious showers
upon our craft? True, there may be
some peculiarities about what I
choose to term superfluous varieties
that entitle them to perpetuation in
the nursery, but in comparison with
first class market varieties, are they
worthy the attention and valuable
time of the orchardist, or he who
prefers to live by his crops ol fruit
instead of crops of grain.

BOILING MEATS.
Professor Liebig’s directions are
that in boiling meat it should be in
troduced into a vessel when the wa
ter is in a brisk ebulition, and that
the boiling should be kept up for a
few minutes. The pot is then to be
placed in a warm situation so that
the water is maintained at about 15S
tlegrees. The effect of this is, that
the boiling water coagulates the al
bumen and tissue upon the surface
of the meat, and to a certain depth
inward, and this forms a crust which
does not permit the juice of the meat
to flow out nor the water to pene
trate into the meal. The flesh, there
fore, retains its savory constiuents,
and is not too sudden ; but if, on the
other hand, the meat be set upon the
fire with cold water, and then slow
ly heated to boiling, the flesh under
goes a loss of soluble and savory
matters, while the soup becomes
richer in them. The albumen, in
fact, is gradually dissolved from the
surface to the centre ; the fibre loses,
more or less, its quality of shortness
or tenderness, and becomes hard and
tough.
The thinner the piece of flesh is,
the greater its loss of savory constit
uents. This explains the well-known
observation, lhat that mode of boil- succeed and grow a crop. The
mg which yields the best soup gives ! process which I follow is to insert
the driest, toughest, and most vapid j die graft almost completely through
meal; and that in order to obtain j the body of the stock. Ihe cou-
well-llavored and eatable meat we j elusion which I have arrived at is,
must relinquish the idea of making
good soupfiomit. If finely chopped
flesh be slowly healed to boiling with
an equal weight of water, and be
kept boiling for a few minutes, th-n
strained and pressed, we obtain the
very strongest and best flavored
soup which can be made from flesh.
When the boiling no longer contin
ued some little additional organic
matter is dissolved, but the flavor
and other properties of the soup are
thereby in no degree increased or
improved.
By the action of the heat on the
fibres of meat a certain amount of
water is always expelled from them;
whence it happens that the flesh los
es weight by boiling even when im
mersed in water, (as much some
times as twenty per cent, of the raw
; flesh). In larger masses this loss is
; not so great. Even in roasting meal
| the heat must be the strongest at
; first, and it may be then much re-
: duced. The juice, which, as in
boiling, flows out evaporates m care
ful roasting from the surface of the
meat and gives to it the dark brown
color and lustre, and the strong aro
matic taste of roast meat. It is
doubtful, however, whether the heat
of one hundred and seventy degrees
is sufficiently tiigh to insure the de
struction ot the parasites of meat,
and therefore I ,would advise that
the temperature should be as nearly
as possible to that of boiling water,
(two hundred and twelve degrees.)
Irish Potato Grafting-
There are various opinions re
garding Potato grafting, as com
menced on by you at pp. 1277, 1437.
Some parties totally discard the
idea of any change being produced
by this process, and others, though
admitting a change, attribute the
same to the natural tendency of the
Potato to sprout. Having for a time
given some attention to the subject
by varied experiments and observa
tion, I submit it to you the results of
a few of my experiments this sea
son for the benefit of your readers
who may be induced thereby to try
for themselves; and by way of en
couragement, I beg to slate that out
of 59 grafts which I put down this
year, l had only two which did not

Under the designation of Chloral-
urn, as a solution of dydrated chlor
ide of aluminum his been introdu
ced, which bids fair to take up an
important position among aniisep-
lics and disinfectants. Every va
riety of foetid and offensive organic
ammonia—and it is substances of
this class lhat produce the diff’eren-
varieties of slink arising from gar
bage—is, observes the British Medi
cal Journal, instantly absorbed by
these so'utions, as it would be by
so much acid. Many bad smells
which catholic acid might indeed
overpower in virtue of its own
strong odor, hut which it cannot
destroy, are at once removable bv
chloride of aluminium. Thus the
foetid stench from cabbage-water
is at once removed by chloralum,
but not by carbolic acid. In this
respect, chloralum has some advant
ages over even permanganate solu
tion, which destroys foetor by oxy-
dising the foetid substance, bui
which is almost powerless against,

O O
three distinct kinds of Potato can be
produced in one season—that is, a
facsimile, a direct cioss, an inter
mediate, in the tubers as well as the
haulm, and which, so far as I can
judge, may be due to the assimilia-
tion of sap produced from the union
of the slock and graft. Seeing,
therefore, that a direct cross can be
got from the process in one season,
not only may be the shapes ol pota
toes be thus improved, but certain
early varieties which we have at
present that do not grow large
enough crops for general cultiva
tion and of medium quality, may be
grafted with a large cropper of fine
quality, thereby producing new va
rieties with both qualifies combined;
so that we may not be left entirely
to the seed apple for new sorts, as
this requites a series of years ol
careful selection to bring out any
thing new.— Gardeners Chronicle and
Agricultural Gazette.
Fastening Handles.—The fol
lowing receipt may often prove ser
viceable to fasten knives or forks
into their handles and of any other
tools.—Take one pari of rosin and
half as much sulphur and melt
them together. Powder the com
pound when cold add halt the weight
of fine sand or brick-dust, and then
fill the cavity ot the handle with
the powder. The stem of the knife,
fork or tool is then heated and in
serted in the cavity, and when cold
it will be found firmly fixed.
Exchan sc.
Lima Beans.—A correspondent
of the Country Gentleman says that
the principal point in the successful
culture of the Lima Bean, is to gel
the seed well started. The best way
of doing this is, to plant in a hill of
light earth, made so by silting the
soil, if it can be had in no other way.
A shovel full of well rolled manure
should go into each hill. He mixes
sand and muck, and after placing
each seed with the germ downward
in the bill, he sifts the covering over
it through a wil.ow sieve. Corn
planting time is about the right time
to plant Lima Beans. The alter cul
tivation is the same as for the com
mon pole bean.
Preserving Eggs.—The French
Journ l de Fliarmacic contains an ac
count of various experiments made
in France on the best method of pre-
s-rving eggs—a subject of much im-
the cry of our exchanges, everywhere;
an.f as the season is ra,,id y advancing,
it behor v.'S the farmer to make arrange
merits for ihe coming crops. In the
face ot’very recent experience, wo can
not advise the large or exclusive plant
ing of cotton. As one of our contem
porariesremarkr: ‘‘We doubt very much
whether any farmer, even in our best
lands, received any profit from the cul
ture of cotton last year. Labor is scarce,
high, and uncertain, and provisions are
high. No farmer can succed who does
not raise the supplies necessary for his
farm. No agricultural county can ever
became rich, which depends on the
smoke-houses and corn cribs of another.
The price of cottou is now low, nor is
there any prospect of an advance.
“The supply and demand of course
regulate the prices. The crop cf 1869
averaged over twenty cents. The last
year’s crop wa9, if anything, in ex
cess of the demand, and now we have
it netting the farmer less than twelve
cents, if anything; less than the actual
cost of its production. Is it wisdom
then, to continue to add to the surplus
and thus diminish the price? Nay,
verily. Let him no longer depend upon
the North. Let the lesson of last year
be a salutary one. Cultivate less cot
ton and more corn. Although by this
you may diminish your receipts, yet you
will in a corresponding manner dimin
ish your expenses.
“in truth, however, were half the
amount of cotton raised there would be
an advance in its price, and thus if you
received no more money, your prolits
would be greater. We hope, then, our
farmers will adopt that line of policy
which can but result to their advan
tage. Give us then more corn.

or acts very slowly upon, some va- | P or,ance there. Among the differ
ent processes, the best, and at the
-ame time one of the simplest, was
f und to consist in rubbing some ve-
rieties of rr.al-odorous things that
have the property of riot being very
easily oxydizable. Even chloride
of lime is hardly so potent against
some kinds of foetor as is chloral-
um. The agent in general use to
which chloralum most closely ap
proximates is chloride of zinc,
which, like it, is specially potent
against offensive organic ammonias.
Suppose that the chloride of zinc,
instead of being poisonous, were
innocuous; that instead of being cor
rosive, its strong solution were in
capable of damaging textile fabrics;
and suppose lhat its cost price were
diminished one-teurh, then it might
be an adequate represenla iveof this

Your last number contained the re
sults of a most interesting and valuable
experiment by Mr. John L. CclveR,
with thirteen different kinds of Com
mercial Fertilizers. We siucerety thank
Mr. Cci.ver for the infoimation it con
tains. It is, no doubt, as it was intended
by him to be, perfectly reliable upon
the basis, upon winch it was made. It
may be true tbat the experiment is en
tirely correct, as published, but Mr.
Culver has failed to satisfy my mind, in
one omission of an all impoitant fact as
I conceive—one which is necessary to
produce thorough conviction, that his
experiment, though intended to be, is
unquestionably made on such a basis,
as to demoustrale the great fact of supe
riority of one manure over another, or iu
other words, the relative value of the
different Fertilizers used by him. His
object was truth—so is mine. He was
impartial—so am I. He was in search
0 f facts in which the farmer has a deep
interest. I have a deep interest in them
as well as be and every other farmer in
the country. Ha is above suspicion as
a man and gentleman, and as reliable in
bis statements so far as he is concerned,
and responsible as any gentleman. And
to this extent, I endorse him fully and
without, reservation. But Mr. C., may
have gotten manures in some instances
better than the average, without his
knowledge—knowing or suspecting
such a trick, he would not have used
them. But this is not the main fact,
omitted to which we have alluded, but
this: Did he count the hills in each ex
perimeutal now and satisfy himself that
there was an equal stand or number of
hills in each row? Now unless this was
done, we thiuk that the experiment may
be wanting in one very important par
ticular, in the elucidation of a fact, or
in the perfect fairness of a test. And
we here remark, that an experiment on
fiftieth or sixtieth part of an acre, is a
“hair-splitting affair,” and must be
made tbrougeout with perfect accuracy
and fairness. Now, according to our
experiments, it is rarely the case, with
out very great care in the matter, that a
half dozen ross can be fouud together
which are exactly equal in stand. Then,
if one row coutalns five or twenty hills
more than another row; one row, being
the basis for an acre, represents the fifty
or sixty rows, in an acie, it will be seen
at once that there may be a difference of
three to twelve hundred hills in an
acre, in favor of one kind of manure
over another kind. No one will con
tend for a moment, that in a close con
test betweeu manures with such a fuel
in existence, that the experiment was
a correct one. If not too late, will Mr.
C., give us, by way of a supplimeut, a
table showing the number of hills (not
stalks) in each row experimented upon?
This ascertained, will make his experi
ment, in our judgement, conclusive and
place it beyond all doubt or cavil. As
it is, we heartily thank our friend for its
publication.

by was the statement given to the pub
lic? What paper gave it its first public

tion from a State inspector or any

in his duty to expose the fraud, paid as
he is, to do his duty? Or has he been
better paid for tbe concealment of the
parties? IVho is he] Let him be known
it there be such an Agent of this or any
other State.
But then, is it true? Who knows? It
may be, tbat some over credulous editor,
too anxious for something sensational,
has been imposed on. Is it probable
that any respectable manipulator would
havo risked his reputation and fortune,
on a boggy muddy foundation? We think
not. They are “too keen” to take the
risk, of putting iu so much peat and
sand;
Is it tiue. Who knows? Has some
vile creature, calling himself, Farmer or
Planter, been guilty of the trick, in or
der to avoid payment? If so, let us
know who he is. If done at all, who
ever did it, is a swindler and ought to
be exposed, that be may incure, not on
ly all the odium of his iniquity bui re
ceive that punishment which his crime
demands, under the law. If true, we
say, let us know who did it? Who has
failed in the exposure? Editors and
Chemists who look to individual for
remuration are not expected to become
champions and enter into tbis contest,
unless they choose to do so, voluntarily,
But we do think, if it was discovered by
a State official or by a planter through
the Agency of a Chemist, that, while
we exouorate tbe latter, tbe former
ought to feel bound to expose the guil
ty party. If done by a planter to avoid
payment for bis Fertilizers, then tbe
injured party, we think, should expose
him. Let us know the truth—-this is
what we w'ant to know, We shall not
be surprised to find, tbat it was a more
sensational paragraph, by some very
credulous and indiscreet publisher.

Geography of the ocean bot
tom.—The investigations that have
been carried on during the last ten
or fifteen years in the interest ofocean
telegraphy have added much to our
knowledge concerning the stale of
things at the bottom of the sea.
From a paper on the “Geography of
the Sea B'd,” by Captain Sherard
Osborn, we learn that the greatest
depth where a cable has ever been
laid does not reach 3,000 fathoms.
The bed of the North Atlantic, which
has been quite extensively explored,
consists of two valleys, the eastern
extending from 10 deg. to 30 deg.,
the western trom 30 deg. to 50 deg.,
west longitude. The eastern valley
has been traced southward to the
equator, and its greatest depth is
under 13,000 feet. It is separated
lioin the western valley by a ridge
which extends from Iceland to the
Azores, and is thus vulcanic in
character at both extremities. Its
greatest breadth is about 500 miles,
and the ocean deepens from it on
both sides. It is probable that the
sea bed is free from bare rocks and
rougli projections, and is unbroken
by abrupt precipices or chasms.
Inferiority of American Cloths.
A corresnondent writes to the
Tribune” that the reason why
American cloths are less lasting
both in color and wear than those
brought from France and England,
is because foreign manufacturers
keep the wool intended for first-class
goods for three years, pulling it
through a process of cleansing once
each year. They thus get rid of all
the fatty matter, and the wool is left
thoroughly shrunken and in the best
condition to receive the dyes. The
American manufacturers, on the
other hand, do not thoroughly
cleanse their stock. A portion of the
grease is left in the wool, which
interferes v ith shrinkage and the ab
sorption ol dye. The cloths may
look well at first, but they soil more
easily and are more likely to fade
and shrink than the foreign goods.

sixty per centage of sand. We write
from memory and do not remember the

with perhaps a gentle caution to farm

Husbands ought to keep cut of
the kitchen. A husband who did
not writes thus of the consequences:
“I found fault someiiin^ ago with
Maria Ann’s custard pie, and tried
to tell her how my mother made
custard pie. Maria made the pie
alter my receipt. It lasted longer
than any other pie we ever had.—
Maria set it on the table every day
for dinner, and you see I could not
eat it because I forgot’to »ell her to
put in any eggs or shortening. It
was economical, but in a fit of gen
erosity I stole it from the pantry and
gave it to a poor little boy in the
neighborhood. The boy’s funeral
was largely attended by his former
playmates. I did not go myself.
