TIIE LUSCIOUS PEACH.
Comparative Merits of Seedling and
Budded Trees.
Editor! Telegraph and Menenger:—
From recent observations, both in print
and in conversations with farmers, I bare
noticed a disposition to plant seedling
peach trees. That this is a great mistake
there can be no doubt.
One reason given for tills course is, that
seedling trees are longer lived, and another
that the liability to injury from frost Is
nut so great. Admitting this to he so (and
it is by no means a settled fact that such
Is the case), the benefit thus derived would
be more than overbalanced by the abso
lute uncertainty attending the production
of varieties such us would be desirable.
Very few varieties of peaches reproduce
themselves when the seeds are planted.
A nmo who plants an orchard of seedlings
and writs from one to five years to sec
fruit on Iris trees, and then finds it worth
less,certainly would be greatly disappointed
—to say nothing of tho loss sustained in
‘ l>aec taken up by the trees, os well as
.minished yield of field crops grown
on the ground occupied by the orchard.
In fact, any thinking man who will giv J
the subject a moment’s reflect! ,n will see
at once the great risk incurred and the
consequent loss sustained. By tlie selec
tion of suitrble varieties from a reliable
nurseryman you can make no mistakes.
Each tree will bear tlie fruit it purports to
bear, and the day of npening can be told
with precision. Barring accidents, no dis-
X Hitmen's will be experienced us to re-
.
It is a fact well known that all large
rowers plant with a view to have their
ult come into market at such times as
will command the best prices. If the or
chard is u large one. tlie season of ripening
will be a continuous one from the very
earliest until mid-summer with Southern
growers. How WVmld you accomplish this
result with seedlings? It would be simply
impossible. To give in detail the reasons
why most varieties of the peach will not
reproduce themselves is unnecessary. It
is a fact that they do not and tills oughttu'
be taken in this case as conclusive. If
doubts still exist in tlie minds of some who
will have seedlings, let them make the ex
periment and satisfy themselves.
If a grower desires shade trees or fruit
that will ripen mostly in mid-summer and
from that on until frost, regardless of size,
quality or looks, and with tome of it green
and unfit for the hogs when frost comes, I
would recommend seedlings by all means.
Of course you may get some excellent
fruit, but you are working, waiting and
fighting against fearful odds, with no reus-
onable hope of success. H.

CORDON'S PRUCALITV.
Tno Tomer of the Soudan'e Disregard of
Filthy Luore.
London Telegraph.
When the letter of the King of the
Belgians reached Gordon, inviting him
him to take chaise of tlie Upper Con
go and to endeavor to extirpate slavery
there, the General was living on the
Mount of Olives, studying day by day
the topography of tlie Holy Sepulchre.
People may wonder how, having made
arrangements for his. West African ex
pedition, and being on the point of
starting for the Congo, he could so sud
denly alter his plans and set forth for
tlie Nile. The fact is that Gordon de
spises “preparations” and dispenses
with them. When, being returned to
London from Brussels, he had au in
terview beforedeparting for Egypt with
a friend interested in his mission, a
conversation of tlie following nature—
if not in these preciso words—took
place:
“Have you got your kit ready, Gen
eral?” 1
“I have got what I always have.
This hat is good enough, and so are
these clothes. I shall start as I am;
tny boots are quite strong “
“And how are you off for cash? You
must have some ready money.”
“Ah! I forgot it. Yes. I forgot that

'CUNJER BAOS.”
Somathlng More About <ho Hoodoo Prac
tlcos.
A short while ago we mentioned how
hoodoo conjuring bags were made and of
the Importance attached to them by ne
groes. That thia peculiar superstition ex,
lets only among a certain class of negroes
is readily admitted: that it is gradually
passing away is denied. Among the old
negroes of town and the young ones of the
country the faith in “cunjer bags” is as
strong as ever.
This is proven by the operations of the
sharp city negroes. One of them was ar
rested by the police yesterday as being a
suspicious character having a large
amount of jewelry In hit possession. In
bis trunk was found a lot of magnetic iron
are or lodcstone, small pieces of whicli
were wrapped up in bits of red flannel. In
each bag was a piece about the size of a
filbert, and another very small piece. Pos-
more.
“How much? Would one or two
thousand pounds do, in notes and
bills?”
“Oh, dear, no. A hundred pounds
apiece for myself and Stewart will bb
enough. What on earth do we want
more for?”
Thus the frugal hero departed, we
believe, with no more titan £4UU in
ready money, but meeting an old and
valued Soudanese acquaintance in
Cairo, who was very poorly off, Gordon
could not resist the claims of
auld lung syne”—even when played
on the black keys—and lent or gave his
old African friend the greater part of
his traveling money. Ho lias always
shown a similar contompt for that,
which is tho object of so many desires”
Atnnetimo in his chequered life he
possessed, wc believe, a sum of £8,000,
and a friend pressed him to place It in
safety at proper interest. Gordon re*
plied he himself could take care of it,
but tho sum became reduced to £- ; 000
by secret charities and benefactions
within a year, and six months after
that his friend discovered thatonly £30
remained of the original amount. The
rest lmd gone to thejpoor and “him that
hath no helper.”
It might be thought that this gener
ous nature had for its background of
support a robust and almost rude good
health. The contrary is strangely the
case. General C ordon is a martyr to
some obscure form of heart disease,
which has compelled him to relinquish
the solace of smoking, and ofttimes
almost prostrates him.

>er cent, of nutriment, and, eonsequent-
y, u relatively proportional ability to
labor, compared with other articles of
food. A pound of beef, costing fifteen
cents, gives only 25 per cent, of nutri
ment. Yet countless numbers of the
x>or in New York strain a point daily
o purchase, beef at fifteen cents a
pound, when they could get a
pound of rice for one-third
of the amount, the rice, too,
having three times as much nutriment
_ beef, making a practical difference
of 800 per cent., aside from the fact
that boiled rice ia three times easier of
digestion than roast beef, the rice being
digested in about one honr, roost beef
requiring three hoars snd ahalf. There
is meaning, then, in the repute I fact
that two-ufths of the human family
live on rice.
We compile the following table for
preservation, as being practically and
permanently useful. All the econo
mist requires is to compare the price of
pound of fowl with tlie amount of nu
triment which it affords:

The"I’lanet Jr.’' Horse Hoe is ahead of
anything of tlie kind I ever saw. It wifi
bar off eight or ten acres of cotton a day,
and for cultivating com it wifi do as mnch
and better work than any two ordinary
plows. ’One mule wifi pufi it us easily ns
Boy Dixie or Blue Pony Plow. Hope you
may sell one to every farmer In the State.
Yours truly, P. W. STUBBS.
Houston County, Ga., June 2Bth, 1883.—
Dear Sir: I have been using tbe “Planet
Jr. l, boughtofTou,layingbymycorn. It
ju<t beats anything I ever saw in the shape
of a plow. I only wish I bad gotten an
other; could have finished in less than
hall the time it took me to finish the field.
Every one that has seen It is finely pleased
, , intend to * —-
and several have said they :
have
well, and gnus with It \Vould not care a
straw about the grata tf my cotton rows
were just regular enough tor me to use my
Hoe Cultivator. Very truly, etc,
C. A. REDDING,
Jr,” Horse Hoo is by far tbe beet plow I
have ever used. Last week 1 put it by the
side of two other plows for farrowing corn,
and did as much with the “Planet Jr.” as
with the other two, through the week day
for day. Respectfully
J. R. NELBON.
Bibb County, Ga.. 1883.—Dear Sir: Tbe
“Planet Jr.” one horse Cultlrator bought
ot you works like a charm. You need not
be afraid to recommend it, for it it will
work in my land it will work anywhere.
I have a two-linrse crop planted and can
cultivate it easily with one bone and tbe
“Planet Jr." In fact Itis all that you rec
ommend it to be. Yours truly.
It. M. GILBERT.
