An 'article which is going the rounds of the Southern press gives the following in formation about the pear: The pear was planted early in the history of our country. In 1663 wo find records of pears in cultiva tion. It is a troe that thrives from 57° north latitude to the plains of Mexico. It is, however, comparatively short-ltved in Southern climates and varieties imported from France to this country are not as a rule long-lived. Grafting the pear tends to shorten the life and impair the vigor of any variety, and still as all varieties are multi plied in this way, it becomes a question of time as to how long any variety can be ex pected to live. Fifty or sixty years ago the St. Michael was justly esteemed the best pear grown; it is now entirely abandoned. The Flemish Beauty is another excellent pear of twenty or thirty years ago, but it is fast going out of use. In 1838 Mr. William Kendrick published a list of twelve old varieties of pears, none of which is known to-day. His list also contained eighty-seven new kinds, of which seventeen ere now occasionally seen. Four of the seventeen survive as valuable pears: the Bartlett, Base, Seckel and Duchess. In 1839 Mr. W. R. Prince, of Flushing, Long Island, published a list of three hundred and sixty-seven varieties of pears; of these thirteen now survive. There have been many hundreds of new varieties imported since then, of which less than twenty are retained as worth cultivation. Many of these, of course, were rejected for various other reasons, but many would still lie in cultivation if they had not degenerated. Much depends on grafting pears upon vig orous and congenial stocks. A variety vig orous on a congenial stock frequently proves worthless upon others less suited to its aeods. The Mobile Register says, in commenting upon this article, that there are two grave errors in it. First, the pear is not short lived in the Southern country. Some varie ties may be, and ail grafted trees may be, more or less so. The dwarfs, grafted on the quince, are invariably short-lived, but the short-lived rule don’t hold good with seed lings. There are pear trees in Baldwin county, Ala., that are known to be over fifty years old. In Butler county there are trees of the Bell variety equally as old. Second, all varieties are not multiplied by grafting, as stated—the LeConte is multi plied almost entirely by cuttings. Bees. The Philadelphia Record has some very good ideas about bee culture. It says that the first work performed by bees as soon as the weather permits them to get out and sun themselves is to clear out of the hive the filth and accumulations of the winter. Dead bees are thrown out and every portion of the hive is put in order for the labor of the coming season. It is very important that the colonies be very strong and numerous. A good, strong colony is worth three or four weak ones. The profits from bee-keeping depend partly upon the skill of the manager. Bees cannot make honey unless they have the honey-producing plants to work upon, and the results depend somewhat upon the Beason. In those sections where fruit-grow ing is mado a specialty the bees have all the work they can do early in the season, but after the blossoms are gone they often have to range over a large extent of country in search of honey, and this subjects the hive to a loss of many of its members. Birds, spiders, toads and other enemies play havoc with them, while a sudden shower will sometimes destroy a large number before they can return to the hive. To make the keeping of bees a business properly there should be certain crops grown partially- for their benefit, such as buckwheat, upon which the bees will work industriously-. The red clover would provide an excellent means of honey but for the fact that tho flower is too deep for the bees to work in; but the ordi nary white clover, alsike clover and other grasses aro put to good service. With the improved hives the bees are allowed first to store up the food required for their use in winter, and they are not robbed of that supply, but if they have plenty of blossoms to work on- they aro provided with extra boxes. This is an excellent mode, as the beekeeper is compelled to bear the loss ha stead of the bees, which induces him to resort to all available expedients to provide the bees with something from which to derive honey. The habits of bees must lie studied and they require careful management. \\ ork is required to manage them properly-, as they cannot always be kept with profit inless all the conditions be favorable. Layering Grape Vines. Judge Samuel Weller, in an article in the Rural World, say-s that grape vinos, to be layered, should be pruned for the purpose, as when you wish to layer a vine there must not be much fruit expected. An ordi nary vine, say four or more years old, might have three or four canes, each six feet long. These should now be laid on the ground, stretched out straight and pinned down. When the young shoots ai-e about six inches long make a little furrow underneath, five inches deep and lay tho canes in. If short jointed break every alternate Shoot off, pinch the leaf off whore the shoot comes out of the old wood and draw in a few inches >f earth and press it firmly. Wiien tho shoots are a foot high 1111 up the furrow lovel; give each shoot a thin stake several feet high to tie as they grow. This is about tiie main thing. Keep the ground well cul tivated duripg tlie summer, but don’t dis turb the roots. Remember that layers will liot root well in the shade. One dozen of layei-s is as many as should be grown from one vino and never layered more than one year at a time. One year should be allowed to make new canes. Some of tho harder kinds to grow will be greatly assisted by cutting half way through the old cano in a slanting way under each bud that is to grow. This wound will soon callous, out of which the roots will first issue and by fall will be found to have the best loots at that place. This is particularly ad visable with tho Norton and Cynthiana, Japan Clover. There is a good deal of talk in Southern •grioultural paprs just now about Japn c ' ov er. Mr. It. A. Bost, of Newton, N. C., ®°y* tliat it is not good grazing in his State b'fore June and makes very short grazing Unless on good soil, rarely getting taller than inches, and generally not more than tt.nv) or four on old pasture Helds; never tall enough on uplands to mow. Where it •'"nifs up in lowland meadows with other vilii grasses, it may get us tall us twenty inches, but rarely more than a foot. When tall enough to mow it makes the very finest, hny if properly cured. Stock of all kinds nro very fond of it in its green state—hogs, sheep, cattle and horses. It will salivate horses in the Jute summer or fall, just as red elover will. It blooms in August and Sep tember in North Carolina. It has a beauti ful, tiny, purple bloom like that of tho pea, one bloom at every joint or leaf, and oue seed to each Hoover—something like a clover seed, but a tiny pod like that of the pea. It beare great quantities of seeds so thick on the ground that in spring when it puts up it raises the top soil where the seeds have been covered by the winter rains. It is easily killed by fi-ost; generally by the first frost. It remains green in old pine fields, in under the shelter of the trees longer than it does hi the open fields. It made its first appear ance in North Carolina during the war. As for sowing and cultivating Japan clover, it would be money ovasted and time lost. The late Rev. Dr. Mott, an Episcopal minister, gathered up a quantity of the seed just after thewaraud sold it tr -arties North and West, but there is nothing of the kind done now. Plant a Garden. About this time of the year a good many farmers doubtless wish they had pi-epared a garden earlier in the spring. They get tired of the regular diet of meat, potatoes and bread, and long for some garden stuff like radishes, lettuce, cabbages, squashes, etc. Tlie trpth is that many fanners’ families, who might live well, generally live in poorer fashion, so far as food goes, than those of any other class. Why? Simply because those whose business it is to provide for the household neglect to do so. They i-aise meat and wheat, it is true, and provide liberally enough of these things, but vegetables are not i-aised to any extent. There may be some grown in a little apology for a garden for summer use, but there are none left for winter and spring. If there were, the housewife would find it easy to vary the bill of fare from day to day and the appe tite of the family would be good. There is health, as well as pleasure, in a variety of food, especially in the spring. Every farmer ought to i-aise vegetables enough to last until new ones grow. He ought to see to it that there is fruit for his wife to prepare for winter and spring use. If he will plant cur rants and raspberies, and strawberrries, and take care of the bushes, she will gladly take care of the berries. There should be cab bage and onions, and beets and parsnips, and squashes in the cellai-, to “work in” with potatoes, and bread and meat. There should be tomatoes and beans, and all kinds of small fruit in cans for daily use. There may be if the farmer will live up to his op portunities. These things, with eggs and cream and fresh meats, which every farm ought to provide for those who live on it, will enable the housewife to prepare a bill of fare fit for a—farmei-. The Citrus Japonica. In an interesting article in the Florida Dispatch on Japan fruits some attention is given to the Citrus Japonica, a fiuit which blends the orange and the lime. There are two distinct varieties of this fiuit, says the Dispatch, one an oblong, the other a round fruit. They attain the size of about a me dium sized plum or api-icot respectively. The tree is hardy, bears extremely young, the fruit hanging on the branches in the greatest profusion. It is not a table fruit, though even eaten raw it has a very agree able flavor; the rind can be eaten with the flesh, being uot thicker than the skin of a plum or cherry. It has a decided aromatic orange flavor; the flesh is very juicy with the sub-acid quality of a lime, very cooling and refreshing, containing two seeds. The main value of this fruit will be for preserv ing and crystallizing. For this pui-pose it is eminently adapted. It is not necessai-y to take off the skin on account of its extreme thinness. The aroma of the rind blending with the acid of the flesh will make it one of the most desirable fruits for preserves, jel lies and crystallized fruit. Mr. Luther Burbank, of Santa Rasa,Fla., who purchased some of the trees this season cannot speak too highly of them. It is a tree which will soon gain favor and stand on its own merits. It does not attain any considerable height, its growth being very bushy with long di vergent branches, ten to twelve feet being its height. Farm and Stock Notes. Sprinkle superphosphate around the young strawberry plants and keep between tho rows cleen, and they will grow strong and vigorous. Lice on fowls will cause them to droop. The poultry-house must be cleaned, coal oil applied freely, and the hens well dusted w-ith insect powder. Do not pasture the grass too early or too persistently. Allow it time to make some growth. Trampling upon the grass just after a rain is vei-y injurious. The best grain food for a young colt is ground or whole oats. A feed of oats morn ing and night, with free use of the pas ture, will keep the colt in good growing con dition. When little chicks feather very rapidly they sometimes droop. If the cause be not due to lice they may bo greatly assisted by feeding them a small quantity of chopped meat once a day. There is no necessity for a filthy hog pen. If cleaned out twice a week the manure can be composted and will keep in better condi tion, while the health of the swine will be materially promoted. If the hatching season be over kill off the roosters, as they will quarrel should the flocks be allowed to mingle, as is usually the case when there is plenty of grass upon which the hens can forage. Sheep not only manure the land upon which they may lie hurdled or pastured, but they distribute it evenly and press it into the soil. There is an old maxim that “the foot of the sheep is gold to the far mer.” Carrots and onions are two crops easily destroyed by grass or woods when the seed is germinating and just, beginning to push through the soil. The hoe must be used, while hand-working the plants is sometimos necessary. Grass is the foundation of success in fann ing. It assists during the process of rota tion to improve the soil, and enables more and better stock to bo kept. The fanner w ,o succeeds it securing a good hay crop ho.: won lialf tho battle. Finely-ground bone is cheaper, in propor tion to the amount of phosphoric acid con tained, than suprphosphate, but is not so immediately available as plant food. It is ts-st to mix one third superphosphate with two-thirds ground bone on heavy soils. Buttemiilk, or skim-milk thickened with midd) i ngs, makes an excellent food for young pigs after they have been weaned, but they should also have grass and cocked turnip. Avoid feeding much com. Growing pigs should not lie made fat, but kept in a thrifty growing condition. The best mode of preserving eggs is to use eggs from hens that are not in company with cocks, ns such eggs will keep there or four times as long as those that are fertile. Keep the eggs in a cool place on a rack, and turn them twice a week. If fresh, no pack ing material will be uocussary. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MAY 9, 1887. It is often remarked that too much ma nure will produce plenty of vine and but little fruit. This is one to the manure being improperly proportional. An excess of nitrogen [guano or nitrate of soda) induces an extra growth of vine, but whore the ma nure contains a sufficiency of phosphoric add and potash, as well as of nitrogen, there will not only be healthy vine but an abund ance of fruit also. Raspberries are an important fruit for every garden, and the ease with which they are cultivated recommends them to every gardener. A few bushes of this fruit will supply the farmer with a most delicious berry throughout the summer season. An equal number of caps and reds should lie set out, selections of which may be made from the following old varieties: Ohio, Caro line, Tyler, Gregg mid Shaffer, and among tho red sorts Cuthbert, Reliance, Turner and Clarke. Strawberries, of course, should be planted in considerable quantities, and with the ob ject in view of making a success out of the crop by careful attention and labor. The Downing, Sharpless, Wilson, Crescent, Manchester and Cumberland have so fre quently been recommended that almost any farmer is acquainted with these varieties. They are all heavy bearers, and the fruit is good and palatable. They should lie set out m early spring, and not purchased from tlie nurseryman the preceding fall, as many of the other kinds of fruit are. Gooseberries are not so important as the foregoing kinds of table fruit, but they al ways come in handy in adding vority to the productions of one’s garden. If variety is the spice of life certainly variety of fruit is an important consideration to' the farmer who prides himself upon his gardening suc cess. Gooseberries require so little attention and labor that there is no excuse for not having a number of bushes in the garden. Securing the plants and starting them to growing will be the greatest trouble, and that is not worth mentioning.* Currants, when planted along in double rows, 50 feet or in length, make a pretty appearance. The bunches of red fruit re lieve the monotony of green leaves, and harmonize beautifully with tho red straw berries in the patch of which the currant bushes from a hedge or bonier line. Cut tings from old plants make be taken in the autumn, and planted nearly their whole length, with the soil compacted closely about them. A good covering of manure that will protect them from tho ice anil snow of winter should be spread over them soon after setting them out. and they will make a free growth the following spring. Tho Cherry, Versailles, White Grape and Red Dutch are all good varieties, tried and approved by long experience. Popular Science. To produce a good gloss on linen, pour a pint of boiling water upon two ounces of gum arabic, coven and let stand over night; add a spoonful to the starch. . To remove kerosene from a carpet, lay blotters or soft brown paper over the spot, and press with a warm iron. Repeat with fresh papers till spot is re moved. Sing to your children, if you can turn a tune. It is worth your while to cultivate vour voice now, if you never did it before. Nowhere else —perhaps not even in heaven —will you have such a loving and generous audience. It is a great mistake to clean brass articles with acid, as they very soon become dull ufter such treatment.' Sweet oil and putty powder, followed by soap and water, is one of the best mediums for brightening brass and copper. Owing to the increased electrical intensity of the atmosphere, which is induced by the continual evulsion of steam and smoke, Dr. Andries estimates that the danger from lightning is from three to five times greater thun it was fifty years ago. Fine wood cabinets should be wiped out with a soft cloth; the corners especially may be brushed with a small hair whisk. If the surface has been polished and is grown dull with age or use. a very little liuseed oil on a woolen rag may be used to go over it. Two ounces of soda dissolved in a quart of hot water will make a ready and useful solu tion for cleaning old painted work pre paratory to repainting. This mixture, in the above proportion, should be applied when warm, and the wood-work afterward washed with water to remove all traces of soda. For a green transparent varnish for metals, grind a small quantity of Chinese blue with double the quantity of finely powdered chromate of potash (it requires the most elaborate grinning); add a sufficient quanity of copal varnish thinned with tur pentine. The tone may be altered by adding more or less of one or the other of the in gredients. Some of the features of short-hand writ ing, synchronous-multiplex telegraphy and typewriting are combined in a system of steno-telegraphy invented by M. G. A. Cassagnes, or Paris. In recent experiments ovor a wire running from Paris to Orleans and back, messages were sent at the rate of over 300 words a minute, that being tho highest speed attainable by a nimble-finger ed operator. By means of on automatic transmiting apparatus, using a strip of paper previously perforated, as in some of the systems of telegraph already in vogue, 17,000 words per hour were sent over a lino 650 kilometers in lengUi, the messages being automatically printeerby the receiving in strument. —Scie nee. The stories, once so current, that seeds taken from ancient Egyptian tombs have grown are lielioved, if not demonstrably False, to lack the guarantees of truth that tales of the kind should require; and nothing as to the vitality of seeds can be built upon them. But Dr. Lindley tells of raspberries that were raised in the gardens of the Horti cultural Society from seed taken from the stomach of a man who was buriod ill a bar row near the time of the Einboror Hadrian; and Professor Duchartre and others tell or seeds, whose identity is properly vouched for, taken from under the foundations of an old house in Paris, probably from the origi nal soil of the island, and, therefore, coeval with the city, which germinated o lid proved to be seeds of Juncus bvfonius, an indigen ous plant of that soil. A Bloody Duel. A writer in the Elberton Leader recalls a bloodv event which took place in there in 181)8. Aliout this time a Frenchman by the name of Biishelle practiced medicine in Elberton. He enjoyed a considerable reputation ns a physician, and on one occa sion was sent for by a Mr. Leslie, of Houth Carolina, to attend some members of his family. Dr. Bushelle's patients near home required liis attention ut the time and lie could not obey the summons, ixvdic being a hot-headed, overbearing man licrame en raged and offended, and so the next time ho mot Bushelle—which was at Smyrna Church, B. C. —ho deliberately horse whipped him. Tho doctor was no coward, but was conscientiously opposed to fighting ami consequently of fered little resistance and was shout to let tho matter rest with the ignominy upon him, but his wife, a true-spirited Southern woman, compiled him to send Leslie a chal lenge. The cliallenge was accepted, pistols chosen as tho weapons, and the meeting hod near Harper's Ferry. At tho first fire Bushelle discharged his weapon without aim and missed. His antagonist took de liberate aim, but he, too, missed his mark. Not lieing satisfied another round was called for, when Bushelle shot Leslie through the head, killing him instantly. Bushelle returned to his home unmolested, and while the stain had been wiped out from his honor he hail the still doepr dye of tho blood of his antagonist on his hands.
