Fruit Culture in the South.
The Hon. Parker Earle, formerly of Illi
nois, now a citizen of Mississippi, residing
at Ocean Springs, gulf coast, President of
the American Horticultural Society, the
best authority on fruit growing in America,
in his address before the interstate conven
tion at Jackson, Miss., said:
*T think that Southern cultivators have
neglected the grape. The supply of good
grape* going .Sorth ward is extremely small.
I refer now to the varieties and species of
grapes grown all over the North and known
to be salable in all markets, and not the
scuppemong. But all, or at least many, of
our best varieties of table grapes appear to
succeed admirably in almost fill parts of the
South, from the hill and fountain districts
to the very shores of the Gulf The vines
grow well, they be. , well, there is little or
no trouble from rot, y .. the seas*, of ripen
ing is so early tha- th*' ois cmny-Ation
with the great grape cro < • North. I
certainly think that there are some golden
opportunities awaiting the grape grower in
many parts of the South.”
Of the possibilities in Southern peach cul
ture Mr. Earle said: “I think that there is
no part of all this vast territory where the
climate and soil do not permit the growth
of this glorious fruit, and we may not only
have it for a week or so, but with a succes
sion of varieties may have it for nearly half
the year. And yeti am told that fine peaches
are a rarity in a majority of the Southern
homes. And peach orcharding as a busi
ness enterprise has never been established
on a very large scale outside of Georgia,
and there only by a few parties. 1 also hear
talk of a great deal of failure in regions
where peaches used to do well. And yet the
climate has not chanced nor the soil. But
the peach has succumbed to insect foes of
tree and fruit but all this is remediable. I
have great hope of peach culture in the
South, for I think there ane no obstacles to
success more than other peach districts suf
fer from, and that the climate and soil are
on the whole generally favorable. The
difficulties in the way are want of energy
in culture and management and a multitude
of destroying insects. There are many
people who would cultivate well if that
would insure successful peach crops, but
that alone will not do it. Whether there
are many here or to come here, wno will
both cultivate, fertilize, prune, thin out
heavy crops and kill ‘bugs,’ in order to get
fine peach crops and make money, I do not
feel so sure. Yet, all of these things are
necessary, especially the ‘bug killing.’ You
have two months of season before Delaware
or Michigan begins with any varieties of
importance, and you have 60,000,000 of peo
ple hungry for your fruit. I would not en
courage anybody to plant another peach
tree to be given over to borers, the broom
sage and the cattle; and if there are men
who will take hold of peach orcharding and
master it, doing everything in the best
way, they will be certain to reap rich har
vests.”
Mr. Earle has struck a truth in regard to
what they call “poor pine lands” in the
South which few people, even fanners in
the pine lands, believe in. These pine lands
contain nearly all the elements of rich soils,
and only need the addition of pot.osh, phos
phoric acid, lime and nitrogen, and humus.
Pea vines, weeds plowed in and cotton seed
and stable manure may furnish cheap ni
trogen or ammonia; forest leaves, barnyard
and stable manure, pea vines and weeds may
furnish humus. Marls, limestone quarries
and shell banks may furnish lime and car
bonate of lime, and the best quality of kai
nit and ashes may furnish potash. With
these cheap amendments to the soil most of
the pine lands may produce as well as the
Mississippi bottoms or bottom lands any
where. We have seen this proved by actual
tests to our entire satisfaction. Give these
pine lands and many other poor lands filling
that is equal to the warp and high cultiva
tion, and fine meadows, corn fields, orchards,
gardens and vineyards will be seen as the
result, and fine flocks and herds, and fine
dairies will be as common as poor crops and
poor farming are at the present time.
Points in Peach Growing.
There is one advantage in growing
peaches in comparison with other fruit
crops, says the Philadelphia Record, and
that is that tho iienoh tree comes into bear
ing earlier than apples or pears. From the
time the young tree is transplanted to the
time it begins to bear it should be given
careful attention. In some localities it will
liegin to bear when it is three years old from
the seed. This short period is but littlo
longer than is required in order to secure a
Held of well-bearing blackberry canes, and
permits of growing the peach in the face of
the yellows and other impediments. Mince
the new varieties of peaches have taken the
place of the old chance sorts (he difficulties
have increased and the life of the tree has
lieen shortened. But, although the tree may
last but a few years yet, as it conies into
bearing so oarly, new trees may be planted
as substitutes, though not on the same land.
The duration of the life of the peach tree
depends upon the soil, the fertilizer, mode
of cultivation and tho freedom from disease
of the pits and the tree from which the
grafts are taken. An important point is to
head the young trees low down on the stock,
which saves much of the twisting and liend
ing from the wind. If the growth is too
rank for the stock, judicious pruning in the
spring will be an advantage. The best fer
tilizer is hardwood aches, about half a peck
around each tree (not too close to the stock)
twice a year being all that is required.
When hearing an application of ground
bone, broadcasted, is excellent. A dry,
gravelly soil is best end the surplus water
should bo quickly drained off. The mode of
cultivating the peach orchard is very simi
lar to the cultivation of a crop of corn, ns
the land will then be kept clean. The peach
tree will not tolerate grass or weeds, nor
should any insecticide containing kerosene
ail tie used on it. The borer must, lx- killed,
as there is no remedy against its ravages
•■xrrpt to keep a close watch and destroy it.
The yellows is a disease and, though has
tened by lark of plant-food, it is sometimes
transmitted into the pits and grafts. Re
liable nurserymen get the lorger portion of
their pits from North Carolina anil Teunes
ie, ns those sections are free from the yel
lows. Should yellows appear destroy and
burn the tree. Aa the orchard produce*
early it seldom fails to pay in favorable sea
soil* before the tree* are too severely injured
to be unproductive.
This is the time of the yaar to feed sun
flower seeds to the hens, as the seadi will
*aist them to molt Food liw saw ! three
tiara* a weak.
A Dairy Calculation.
The New York Tribune says that there
ore herds of cows which average fiS or SBO
for the season. The extremes of product of
ordinary herds will vary from #ls to #45 for
the milking season. If the best cows pay
a year profit the poorest live at a loss of
*lO each. That is, if these cows wore killed
and buried the owner would bo $lO a year
in pocket. At $1 per 100 pounds of milk
the poorest cow would make only 1,500
pounds of milk in the factory season, and
there are thousands of cows that do no
better than this. Another waste is the use
of the most costly foods or the actual stint
ing of food. A good cow fed only on pas
ture will always pay double the cost of four
or five pounds of bran daily in milk or but
ter. This is more especially true of winter
feeding, when straw may he mixed with
hay, and the difference in value of the stra w
spent in bran will make the feed worth more
for product than if all hay were fed. The
above is hut an example and the reader may
take it as a type for thoughtful considera
tion in his own special circumstances A
third great waste is keeping animals past
their prime. When a cow is past 8 years
old she is at the best. If well cared for she
will become more and more valuable up to
this point; after which she declines, becomes
yearly worth less for final disposition. Act
ing on these suggestions may lead to a tem
porary depression in the meat anil hide
market and an advance in the value of good
stock if the poor animals are to be all sud
denly put where they w ill do the most good.
But what cannot he cured should lie put an
end to at once; and a good herd of ten cows
all paying a profit will bring more money
to the owner than an average herd of twen
ty, half of which live at a loss.
Brittle Hoofs.
Horses, says the Boston Transcript, are
frequently troubled with brittle hoofscaused
by a deficiency of water in the bono. This
is caused in different ways—fever of the
feet or the common founder; inflammation
of the interior of the foot; exposure to fer
menting manure or filthy stables, by which
the horn is saturated with moisture contain
ing ammonia; leaving the feet covered with
mud; or even continued hot or dry weather,
or an unhealthy condition of the system,
will produce this trouble in the feet. The
horn becomes dry and granulated, and sep
arates very easily, crumbling or splintering
away until there is scarcely crust enough
left to fasten the shoe upon. The remedy
is, of course, to remove the cause and re
store the moisture. Frequent washing of
the feet with cold water, with attention to
the health, and to give the horse clean bed
ding and earth floor to stand upon, or else a
deep bed of sawdust, wdll prevent it or cure
it in many cases. Glycerine and water in
equal parts is an excellent dressing for the
hoofs. An occasional soft feed, ns bran
mash with a little linseed, is also useful, lie
cause it keeps the horse in good health and
cool. Tar is sometimes usod as a hoof dress
ing with advantage, but it needs caution in
its application.
A New Variety of Orange.
A California correspondent of the Florida
Dispatch, in writing of the different varie
ties of Japanese oranges, speaks of only one
of them as worthy of recommendation.
This is the Kin Kin or Citrus Jnponica.
The tree forms a medium-sized pyramid
from 15 to “0 feet high, but can be trained.
It is mast to be recommended for its supe
rior hardinesi, as, if once well ‘established,
a temperature of ‘JO’ to 15’ above zero Fah
renheit will not injure it, as also for its early
and profuse bearing capacity, the branches
being literally covered with fruit. The
fruit itself is oblong, of a bright golden
yellow, like a medium-sized egg plum; the
rind is almost as thin as a cherry’s, sweet
and juicy; can be eaten with the fruit, the
pulp of which is juicy, sub-acid and very
refreshing; it recommends itself mostly for
crystallizing and preserving, but is also
eaten fresh from the tree. Cut into halves
it is used in Japan during summer as an in
gredient for all cooling drinks, to which it
imparts a delicious flavor. Asa plant for
pot culture in an eastern climate it cannot
be too highly recommended, not being as
tender as the other oranges. No garden, no
home should be witiKkit it; no one who has
ever tried it would ever want to lose it
Curing Poa Vines
A South Carolina fanner, writing to the
Southern Cultivator, gives his plan of cur
ing pea vines: Last year I hail about nine
acreas in peas, planted after I cut my wheat
and oats. As soon as some of the peas were
ripe I commenced with a mower drawn by
two mules, cutting only row nt a time, until
I finisher! cutting them. When I commenced
cutting the vines I put one hand to putting
the vines in hacks in straight rows along the
piece of pea ground, and as soon as the hand
finished putting the vines in hacks or stocks
I commenced the next flay hauling and put
ting them in a latticed crib, placing a layer
of pea vines from two two-horse wagons
together, and then a layer of dry rails or
poles on tops of first loads, and then another
two-horse load of pea vines and then an
other layer of rails or poles, and I continued
in this way until I had filled my crib packed
full of vines. Now, I have never seen finer
hay of any kind and not a moulded vino
among the lot. But the beauty of the hay
was that it did not shed a leaf worth any
thing.
Sowing Clover in Cotton Fields.
The Southern Cultivator advises as a
good plan for settling <v>tton landn in clover
that the rows lie plowed in as flat as possible
in September and that the following mix
ture of seeds boused: Red clover seed, 10
pounds; Orchard grass, 1% bushel; White
clover, 4 pounds: ammonia ted superphos
phate, 150 to 200 pounds. Mix seed and
fertiliner and sow all together, going over
the land not less than twice in order to se
cure uniform distribution. Clover makes a.
strong, nutritious hay by itself, hutisdifll
cult to cure properly. Much better and
easier to cure when mixed with orchard
grass, os suggested above.

Farm and Stock Notes.
Young and tender herbage is greedily
eaten by all classes of stock. Weeds when
just shooting out of the ground are relished
also. Some weeds that are poisonous when
matured arc harmless when young and teu
der.
Fifty years ago our wild strawberry was
almost unknown in the garden, yet, by
careful selection and cultivation, we have
non' many valuable varieties, each pos
sessing different characteristics from the
others.
The theory that Lima beans will germi
nate if placed in the ground edgewise is re
futed by Prof. Ha Is ted. who has conducted
a series of experiments in order to deter
mine the claim. He is of the opinion that
the soeds should lie laid flat on their sides.
It is said that many wheat farms in the
Northwest are gradually being converted
into dairy farms. Butter and cheese are
more remunerative than wheat at present
prices. Again, dairying means a lietter
system of fanning than wheat culture
alone.
In hot weather cream should be stirred a
little every day to prevent the putrifaetive
mold which soon sets in if kept quiet. It is
for this reason much more difficult to make
good butter with one cow thau with two or
three with which churning has to be done
often. The cream kept long loses some of
its butter, as it is eaten out by acid.
The fence comers are the pest-holes of the
farm. From them spring nearly all the
weed seeds and undesirable grasses which
are scattered over the fields. Rail fences
are expensive on account of the ground they
occupy and the weeds they protect. If ne
cessary, the hoe should be brought into re
quisition to clean out the spaces along the
fence.
Flies do not bits so viciously in the dark,
and the eagerness with which a cow will
rush in the shade of a tree on a hot day
shows how she appreciates this fact. During
the very hottest weather, keeping the cow
in a darkened stable is not only humane,
but good policy as well. It is altogether
the cheapest and easiest mode of increasing
the mill: supply.
It is useless to save seed from large, first
class melons if more varieties than one are
growing on the same location, as no relia
bility can be placed on such seed next sea
son. Not only will varieties of watermelons
mix, but it is unsafe to grow them in the
neigh!mrbood of pumpkins Corn of differ
ent varieties will also mix, even when sepa
rated nt great distances.
Daniel Lee says, in the Southern Culti
ralnr. that breeding mules and horses for
cotton planters lias been the best business
he could do in Tennessee during 25 years,
and he believes that any other farmer, by
keeping five or six. brood mares and work
ing them enough to pay for their keep,
might have an income of SSOO or *ti(Ki a
year, and save the wages and provisions of
two laborers.
Wire grass is a pest that proves very
troublesome, as every joint produces anew
plant. If it overruns a field the surest mode
of killing it is to keep the ground well
shaded with some thickly growing crop,
such as millet, buckwheat or peas. Wire
f trass delights in plenty of sunlight. If it
>ecome thickly rooted the ground should be
plowed anil harrowed, and a shading crop
put on as soon after as possible.
The following is said to be a good recipe
for curing fowls from ■■Kg-eating: “Boil an
ogg and rrmove ns small a piece of the shell
as may lie necessary to extract the inside,
then fill the space either with mustard or
cayenne pep|ier, and neatly paste n piece of
whito paper over the opening. Remove all
the eggs from the nest and leave this pre
pared egg for ‘biddy’ to cat: one dose will
fie enough generally to cure her of the de
sire.”
The last year of the war cotton sold at
75c. a pound, but soon after rapidly de
clined. Its price of late year* has averaged
lower than during slavery times and plant
ers say it is grown os cheaply now as liefore
the war. During the high prices, while the
Southern supply was cut till, England did
all she could to cn( am age cotton growing
in India anil in Egypt. But the product
was so inferior that the supremacy of Ame
rican cotton is again assured. We can grow
good cotton more cheaply than any other
country.
It is important to distinguish in plants the
difference between what, may be termed the
vegetative and reproilucti ve stages in plants,
says Mr. Thomas Meehan. If a branch on
an unfruitful tree he ‘‘ringed,’ - or in some
other way injured, that branch is at once
brought to the fruit bearingor reproductive
condition So far there is an antagonism
between the vegetative and reproductive
stages. When the reproductive stage is
reached there is another sulidivision. The
part, to which nutrition most freely flows
produces chiefly female flowers, while the
jiart to which nutrition flows less freely
yields chiefly r.iuie flowers. Any one can
see this who examines a larch, a spruce or a
pine.

I an<l Tybee railway, connecting Great i v
het* Island with the city of Savannah, ftssut'**
for all time the importance of that Island for
commercial purposes, and as a pleasure resort
soon to rank with the most famous on the
Atlantic coast.
An an evidence of iti popularity as a seaside
resort, with the innumerable disadvantages al
ways attendant upon the o) Mining of anew road,
the very first month's business of the railway,
though near the close of the seaside season,
showed a net profit of twelve hundred dollars
(flUOtl).
Its commercial advantages remain to l>e de
veloped, hut cannot he over estimated In view
of Its commanding position at the entrance to
one of the most important harbors an the At
lantio const and the second cotton port.
Two extensive railroad systems now centering
at Savannah must, of necessity, in the near fu
tore, for certain classes of fniftjit and ve.wls,
avail of the advantages of Tyhec and Its con
neuting rallroal glides these systems, pro
vided with extensive wharf prpperfcldti at the
city, two other lines are sure to \m s<mii ripping
at our doors for entrance, which will ts- unpro*

will find great difficulty in procuring such, as
the present systems own nearly all the front

others and forming a tfoough line to Kansas

Tennessee, Virginia and (>< Orgii Hailroarl tielow
Macon, (ra., and make a tinon ;h line for that
great svstegi, with its thousand of miles of rail
ramifying <i dozen Stales. These two latter
rood* inust have terminal facilities equal to the
present cat Hd shed systems, and if they cannot
tie had at Savannah then Tyljee must furnish
them. Both these latter systems tap the inex
haertible coal fields of ths South, ana Tyhee nf
fords the finest lo *afion on the South Atlantic
coast foraioailng station.
Application for n charter of incorporat ion for
Tyhee Island under name of Ocean iHty Is now
pending in the Leg Ida tore, and, as soon as
