It is true that the acreage of peaches will be greatly increased by this season’s planting, and that the demand for peach stock can with difficulty be tilled by the nursery men. Thore will not. however, be a greatly increased acreage of bearing trees, and the corresponding increase in additional markets, and in the popular it> of the Georgia peach, will mors than offset the increase. There must be a large planting annually to keep up the present acreage, as peach trees are short lived and many die each year from various causes It is probable that fully ono-thir 1 of the trees planted this sea son will never come into bearing. To grow peaches profitably requires the greatest attention, Proper cultivation and fertilization, careful pruning and treatment for insect pests and diseases, are necessary to success, and at least one- third of the orchards of the state do not receive such attention, and they go down. The San Jose scale has caused the destruction of over 100,000 trees dur¬ ing the past season, and probably many more will he destroyed before His winter i* over, If the borer* are neg leetnd for two or three year*, and dur iug that time the tree* produce a crop, the drain made upon their by the borer* and the production of crop, will came a large proportion them to die. Intending planter* should not be couraged by thexe statements, for Hre encouraging to those who intend give their orchards the proper care.

Give us some information about when to cat and liow to cure and save same. answer— Wheat cut in early dough state, so there wi.l be about one-third Mle Kram rtfter becoming dry, and be j oro the sterna get dry, makes one of the best forage crops for horses, mules and cattle Tho cost is small, and the laud is ready for peas, and other crops, two weeks earlier than if the wheat is al¬ lowed to mature and the soil is not ex¬ hausted of nitrates, etc., in making grain. Cut wheat with mower, rake up as soon as dry, it dries quickly, then it should go to the barn. From ten to 30 days, or more, preferable ten days, the bailer should be used. This hay is superior to auy other kind from any quarter. For stock doing light work it is a balance ration, it is not heating to animals as oats and some other feeds are. Sow about one bushel to the acre, either smooth or bearded varieties. It pays better than to ent and thresh tbs wheat, where feed is wanted. About 1)- tons to the acre is an avarage yield. A.

C. f sends ns his plans for coring pea vine hay, and while the plan is new to ns. it certainly does well lor him. We give our readers his mode as follows: The curing process of the clay pea is when the vines have yellowed np JT.JL - ha(J been ^ mow them down in ^ morning, after the dew has thor dried off< and let them lie nntil , h e evening of the next day. when I __ k „ fho „. on .hock. Then the evening . . . h . , I t.m and the Je. ,w i .. dried dned o* off I lt„l hanl them ahd pack them Ia, a™.1:pehlOlI.et unle l am pntt ing in. Be sure to pack clogely / arouad the edges, putting from g ^ 2 _ bo „ e loads iu a pen , covering them with a roof that ig sure not toleak and leaving no open space between the roof and the peas. After the peas have settled, a roof made of wheat straw is what I use. When the peas begin heat ing and smoking, which they will do in from three to five days, don’t disturb them at all; just let them smoke. If yon let in air, this spoils them. T o whippoorwill pea is of a shorter growth and will not require yellowing un up so so far- iar, the rue same »u process v as the other for curing and putting up. If there should be a great deal of crab gra 8 mixed with them it is so much the bet ter; or if you should choose to sow pop corn at the rate of 2 gallons per acre, it will add greatly to the quantity of the feed. This being my process, for three years, of curing pea vine hay. I am now feeding some of the finest hay the country ever saw, cured with the loss of but very few leaves.—State Agricultural Department. Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Don’t Know it.
