Goodman, Tlfta'b, Ga. 1‘runlng the Peach. Every reader of the Gaxettk who owns any land should grow at least a fow of the choice \ irietics of (leuehes. We may safely assume that a large number already have trees growing, und to such the matter of pruning is important and require! attention. Pruning accomplishes several im portant results. It gives a symmet rical shape to tho tree, removes su perfluous und dead wood, hikes; out brunches that oross and oliitf,, other branches, givrs a favorable opportu nity to examine for and renij-re borers, aud, in fact, do anything that the tree nay require. If should be kept in mind that the fruit is produced on word of the previous year’s growth, and also that in favorable sensors much more fruit will sot than the treo should be al lowed to carry; consequently we must grow new wood for next year’s fruiting mid. also thin the fruit for tlie presell*crop, botii rf which are accomplished by pruning. In • pruning, all Bp. on to, oross branches and dead wood should be removed entirely by a olear out close to the tree, so us not te leave a snag. All tho main branches should then lie shortened in, or cut book as it is commonly ciillod, from one-lmlf to two thirds their ntire length, This will leave miiiiie limbs for all the fruit the tree suould be allowed to bear, besides the fruit will he closo to tho body of the tre on strong branch instead of tho tip end if a long branch, which would bond easily, or ho vhjbpod about by tlie wind to tho severe detriment of the fruit. Another advantage is that Up growth of 1KW wood is greatly iu voted by tho pruning, while the cliitnietor of fruit is greatly im proved, and the prospect for regular crops is much enhanced. A tree that is allowed to overbear is inca pacitated for making mother crop, until it has had a year or two to re gain sufficient strength. While prtipjiig, the trunk of tree should be examined tor borers,whioh are easily located by the oxudation of gum, generally near the ground. They should be out out and de stroyed. -FARMING THVTPAYS.

Jtd’.v try I*. K ir a'a’t* bf Dr. .1. C, loiiuun, Tifton, Ga. It is refreshing, these da;i, eaya the Albany Herald, to meet a Geor gia farmer who is making farming pay, and says so. The Herald met such a man in Albany yesterday iu tho person of Mr. Ed. Mcltee, son of Mr. Geo. it. ieltee, of *<owades county, and Imd a long talk with li.tn. Al though Mr. Mcltee knew lie was talking to a newspaper man, wu doubt if it occu'-red to him Hint his talk would be made the basis of newspaper article; but we cannot lose such au opportunity to say somethin'* of tho methods Hint are bomg employed by a succc aftil farmer. Although one of tbe nost exten sive farmers in Georgia, Mr, Mo ltee does not plant any cotton, He is a former—-not a cotton pi;.:.ter. Ho works con. ict labor aud free la bor both. From the counties iti this part of tho State, lie r.images to keep about one hundred short-term or chain-gang convicts, aud, in addi tion to these t hires from fifteen to twenty-five free laborers. “How does yt -ir father manage to farm and make money without planting any cotton?" askwl the scribe. “Well, sir, ftp just qoit planting coltou nnd went to raising crops to soil to those ’vho do plant it. ' He makes his money out o' tho cotton planters.” “ How ttjnr. of a plantation have you?’’ ■' , ■ “Oik entire estate coniprtweabout Iff,000 lieu's, bill, we have mdy -' acreii in cuitiv'aUoii.” “And what do you plant?’’ “We plant corn, oats, peas, ders and a few vegetables a melons.” “And no cotton at nil?” “Not an acre; We abandoned entirely several years ago, aud went to raising grain and moat to sell to cotton planters.” “Then yon raise yonr own meat?” . "Yes, and more besides. We sell meat every year. Besides hogs, we fatten a great many beeves on the farm and sell them off during the winter season when there is good dc- inund for them.” “I)o yon find a ready market for all your provision crops?” “Oh, yea.” “Where?” “Principally right there at home. -- We sell a good deal to farmers who phiut cotton; hut the prinoipul part of cur crops ore sold to utercbuuts who pay ns tho money for it and sell it to the farmers on time. We soil seed outs ami pinders direct to farm ers, hut most everything else goes through the dealers. , Wo usually have orders ahead for ail the crops wo make. There is a merchant right here in Altiuny who bandies some of our stuff. There is no trouble ubout selling something to feed either man or beast on in this country, 1 assure you. We plaut a large oat crop every year und sell the entire crop for seed oats at good price?. Ami it’s tlie same way with pindore. Lots of fanners will buy pinders every year rather than scratch and save enough for soed. A nJ then very few of them ever rave any soed oats. Yon see have all our fields dear of stump Wo can use lubor-eaviug machine mid cultivate and harvest Jarge oatj crops every year. Wo uover more than wo can cultivate and Ukc,. care of properly in anything. Iu oats our land brings us an average of from $10 to $12 per acre.” “How about gunno? Do you buy gnuno? ” “Very little. Wc buy some cotton seed meal, but we make our own compost. You see wo keep stack enough to pretty well fertilise tbo laud we cultivate, and by using home-made fertilizers we are imf < proving our lands all tlie time,” “And you are actually making money farming?” ; “Yea, sir, my father makes money forming, and any - ci^vnnr <>. here in Dougherty cmi money by iettmg cotton alone planting grain and provision crop mid attending to their business like lie does. That’s nil there is in. There Is a lesson in this prosp farmer’s experience for someb Ho.v many of tiie readers of Herald will take it into serious sideration? for Safe nmt Itettnbto.
