Question- —I have a young peach orchard under my care that needs ini mediate attention—ferfi.izing, pruning and eultivaf.ug. I turn, t under a crop of green pea vines last summer; now Will it need fertilizing with manures this spring, or would you ad¬ vise to rely on tae pea vines alone? Answei; —It is no easy matter to re¬ new the vigor of a young orchard that has been neglected, aud tho trees con¬ sequently dwarfed aud stnuted. Es¬ pecially is this diffi 'u’.t where the soil is naturally poor, or partially exhausted. Turning under the pea vines was of course beneficial, adding nitrogen and hutnus to the soil, bat it would have beeu better to have left the vines to die on the lane before turning under, as you would in that way have obtained better resn'.t-, both iu the way of intro gea and humus. - V -a - i iu it rely alone upon the vi-’es plowed under last sum *ner. but this s iring, and as ear - pos.-,l'.e, you must apply at the rate of 400 pounds par acre, a ((utilizer com posed of 800 pounds of acid phosphate, 800 pouuds of kaiuit, and 403 pounds of cottonseed meal, applying it more liber ally near and around the trees than else where. Turn this fertilizer under, be inR carefu: - i; doin s 3 '> not t( > iu iu r8 the nwts of the ;ree». The latter part of April, sow broadcast iu peas, allowing none, however, to grow within 3 or 4 feet of the trunk of the trees. This clear space about the trees must be kept free from grass and weeds, and tho ground kept mellow with the hoe, through the growing season. Pick the P eas as the v rl P ea - aud 111 th 3 early , fall, . ,, - plow under the dead vines, running vour plow as deep as possible, always being careful not to injure the roots of tho trees. Repeat the process next year, using the same fertilizer, and your laud should then be iu fine condition, and your trees restored to their lost vigor. I have said nothing about the “pruuiug,” “worming,” etc., which of course you understand, or you would not have charge of ti.e on bard.—State Agricultural Departm-.-ut. lusecti Iu G a Tints, Question.—I hive quite a number of 'grape vines in apparently healthy con i dition, but unless I sa-.-k the grapes each j year they are atta-.-kod by rot or else 1 i perforated by insects. The sacking is ,rou blesi>me an t expensiva Can r«"» Pve me some information anddi preventive aud proto ion? Yi’heu shall Axswee.—W ith even a few vine? spraying pays, and on larger areas, the ; man who does not sorry wiii be dis¬ tanced by his more progressive brother, who has taken this precaution against fungus diseases and insect pests. Xotr ; is the time to begin prep iratioas. Get a sprayer suited to the area to be gone over. For small vineyards, the kuap- 1 sack sprayer is best suited, while for I larger areas, the cart or barrel sprayers should be used. These last are moved up and down the rows by either baud or horse power, and do their work most effectively. For a few vines in the yard or garden, there are hand sprayers, which answer every purpose. Bor¬ deaux mixture has been found most ef¬ fective for rot and downy mildew and should be applied from the time the buns begin to swell, and at intervals of two or toreo weeks, until the fruit be¬ gins to color. Copper carbonate dis solved in two quarts liquid ammonia of 23 per cent strength, ami diluted with 43 gallons of water, is considered the best mixture for the last application, because the deposit of copper sulphate from the Bordeaux mixture might af¬ fect the ready sale of the fruit. If pre ferreu, a simple solution of copper sui Tula shou.d ; nay ^ be ) M8df applied °, rsp betore there ™ 7ius is - any green foliage on the vines. Each spraying must be carefully and tkor oughly done, and repeated at shorter in tervaD than above mentioned, if the weather should continue damp and warm. For the Bordeaux mixture the following directions, which are plain, being free from technical terms, have been published. Dissolve 4 pounds of bluestone in a wooden or earthen vessel, using about 2 gallons hot water. In a separate vessel slake 3 pounds of lime, With enough water to render it thin enough to strain through a coarss cloth. The lime solution is strained to prevent It from clogging the nozzle of the sprayer. After the copper solution has become cool, mix it with the strained lime solution and dilute with 40 gallons of water. It will then be ready for use. —State Agricultural Department. The “Borer” In Peach Tree*. Question. —I am engaged in peach growing, and being a beginner, I would like to know what insects are liable to injure the trees or damage the fruit prosnens, buds begin at tiiis scasou, just before the to swell. Answek. —The worst enemy to your peach trees, at this season of the year, is the “borer,” which is found iu all sections of this country, and Canada. It hatches from eggs laid during the summer, on the bark of the tree near tho ground. After hatching, the larvce work their way into the sap-wood of the tree, and also downwards, into the iuner bark of the large roots. As they grow they continue to foed upon the sap wood of the tree, doing it great damage. Their tunnels can always bo discovered. The Hissing Word. A NEW CHANCS F JR CUR SUBSCRIBERS TO WAKE 3IO We cull the a lentioa of our read ers to ihe iaterestiug details of our clubbing proposition with Toe At lauta W eekly Gon-tilution, publish id iu full elsewhere. As will he seen, 'he joint price of our paper and The Weekly Constitution for one year is but 81,25. Eveiy sub¬ scriber wi 1 oot only get the two pi¬ pers for little more than the piice of ou“. but wid iu addition, have a to participate with ut cost in the “Missing Word Ointes',” the premiums for whic i are offered by both papers. Every subsciiber is to guess at the missing word in the following sentence; “SUPPLY AND DEMAND ARE AS INTIMATELY “...........” AS CAUSE AND EFFECT.” and the one who supp ies the correct word will be entitled to 10 per cent of the am'Hiut received from sub¬ scriptions not only from The Con stilulion, but a 1 of the papers par¬ ticipating in this elubbi \'ith The Constitution between now and tbe 1st of March. The Constitution guarantees that at least five hu l dted dollars in cash will be distribu¬ ted, and probably dn- amount wdl be between 81,000 and 82.000. If inoie than one pe. son supp ies cor rectly the missing word, the cash amount will bedisti\buted among the successful guessers. A few months ago The Weekly Consticutisn offered 81;000 in cash to the subscriber gutsing the size of the year's cotton crop as anouneed by the New Orleans exchange. The successful guesser was Mr. R. T. Poole, of Rockingham, N. C., who j received immediatly after the an- j nouccemint of the crop by the New j Orleans cotton exchange 81,000 in j cash from The Week y Consti'.ution j enabUrg him to buy the farm , oich . , he , tneD renting and w was pay i himself oat of debt -fcoerv ,, . intelligent . should person j subscribe to Lis homo paper a ad should ta..e a’j east one general j newspaper which covets the news* ay ue exuaauon or gum at the entran¬ ces. To destroy them, remove the earth carefully from the base of the tree, ex posing all the large lateral roots; then with a sharp knife cut out the -borer,” wherever an exudation of gum indicates the presence of one. They can fre queutlv be destroyed without cutting them , out, , , by inserting . a stiff , ™ wire or small knife blade, wherever their pres¬ ence is indicated. Borne growers da stroy them by the application of scald¬ ing hot water, the earth of course being first removed as above mentioned. To prevent the moth front depositing her eggs near the surface of the ground, and consequently near the roots, many gi-owers bank up the earth around the base of the tree, to a height of 8 or 10 inches, doing this late in the spring and removing when cool woather commen ces. Some cover the bark at the base of the "tree with paper or straw, which is said to afford considerable protec iou. This insect is unknown ji; tho of tie world. This the Cocsdtution does belter than any southern week¬ ly newspaper, and the fact that it has now the largest circalatioa of any weekly newspaper pub isbedon the western hemisphere a:tests to its popularly. It publishes 15(3, 000 copies every week and goes into more homes in the southern and western states than any weekly newspaper published in America. You want your Lome paper; and when jou can get it is connection with the Weekly Constitution for al¬ most toe pi ice of one and in addi¬ tion become a participant in the great missing word contest, an¬ nounced elsewhere, you should take prompt advantage of the combina¬ tion. Remit the combina'ion price to us and send jour guess of the missing word along with it, and we will forward your name to The Con stitutjon, and your guess will be du. iy recorded, If vou are not a suhgcribt r to our paper and want The weekly Cons itution forward us oue doila j„n ... - wlt ^ ' our gde s8 oi the .> missing word and we will see ibat it is sent to the Constitution.
