From the New York Sun. In a private car passing through West ern Maryland on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad the other day was a man who owns th* targest peach orchard In the world, a Michigan man who ha* grown the lirst jxeaches In the United Slates, a horticultural professor, who get* his coat off when lie gels among ihe trees and forgets all utiout his dignity and salary; the editor of an agricultural paper and several railroad officials. The parly had been balking at |eaeh trees on the lojis of West Virginia mountains planted In place of the forest. The man with ihe big orchard is a Connecticut Yankee who has been trying to cover up the slate of Geor gia with peach trees. "How did you do about help down South?” nskrd the Michigan man. "Used the darkies—best people In the world when you get 'em going properly. 1 couldn't usk for better hands." , "But you never employed them up North,” said Ihe editor. "No; w have Italians They do well, hut I am satisfied with the Georgia labor. It's all right. Before 1 want South 1 heard that a tugger and a mule can do more to raise good corn than a white man anl two horses. That's probably so. but there's an old darkey and a mule on my place that I will back against a civil en gineer for doing things straight.” “How's that?” "Well, they saved me the cost of hiring a surveyor. I'll tell you how It was My trees are set In block*. Some of the rows are over a mile long. 1 wanted them straight and engaged an engineer at 35 a day and board. Luckily, I hired him by the day and gave him a boy to carry the In struments. He began work on Monday morning running his line*. Of course, Ihe hands watched every move he made One of 'em was an old fellow we called Henry Wilson. Henry had been ploughing over some stubble field where a part of the trees were to he planted. That night Henry cam# up to me and says: ‘Cap'n. how- much do you pay dat man for lookin' through dat syp gins# and wiltin' In dat book? They say he'a fixln' places fer you to set out trees.' a "'I pay him 33 a day. Henry. He'a a surveyor to make straight line* ’ '• 'Gits all dat for Jest maktn' straight lines'* 'Deed, Cap'n. seems to me It's pow'ful lot o money wasted. Why, dal ole white mule o' mine can plough a fur row straight as he can do lt.‘ " 'l'm afraid not. llsnry,' say* I. Tt has to he a mile long •' 'Dal's all sight ca'n. Jest you let me ai:d de mule try once and see If we can't.’ "Well, he'd nearly finished the stubble and so I told him he could start In the next morning In another part of the or cliurd site fmm where the surveyor was working. About noon I went over to see how Henry was getting on snd you may not believe It but he had actually plough ed a furrow which did not seem to be a foot out of the way to my eye. We af terwards measured with Instruments an l found It nearly atraight That waa all the surveying 1 needed and at night I paid the engineer and let him go. 1 asked Henry how lie did It. 'Easy 'nuff. I Jest gits de mule pointed de right way Den I looks 'tween de mule's ears and gits a point on some tree or house or shed Den } tells de mule to go and we goes.”' "1 can vouch for th® lines," put in th# jirofessor. "1 have been In orchards all the way from Lake Ontario lo Florida and never saw trees run In stralghter rows. Why. the superintendent ran smoke hts pipe on the veranda roof of his house and fee the hanils cultivating at tlie end of the orchard between the rowj —they are so even But there's another thing about the place that's more turprl*- Ing. Think of picking and packing fruit to music.” "I suppose It's a sort of music,” said the jieach man. rolling his loothplck In his mouth. "I found when I started In that when a darkey Is singing loudest he II work the hardest, so I organised what wj> rallied the 'Red I-altel Band,' and dur ing the harvest time It plays In the-pack- Ing house. The band contains a few horns, one or two fiddle*. Including what country people cell a bull fiddle; a mouth organ or so, and sometimes a few other Instruments You can hear It quite a dis tance out In the oichard. and when It starts iijt a Jig you oujlht to aee those darkles hustle. They can't keep still, and each tries to g“t ahead of the other. They rattle the fruit Into the packages, nail 'em and clinch 'em and rush 'em Into Ihe ears as If they were getting double wages for hurrying I've got some boys down there who I'll wager ran nail a package faster than any other man or boy alive. I have one ,who nailed a box in nine second*—more than a nail a sec ond. What do you think of that? Those people love music. If they can't hear It fiom someone they'll make it as well a* they can Why. I don't know hut 1 get do'ibte the work out of them when they hear the hand than at other times—not that they are laxy. for I never paid wage* to a more fallhful lot of people I could tell another story on that whlrh would open you ryes, but I don't want to talk too much. " "Go on. let's hear It.” said one of the railroad men. •'One season Just before harvert I waa aent for hy my orchard superintendent In New England. I did not want to go and as I had no one to take charge at Fori Valley while away and It wa* a ‘lima when the tree* neeibd elos* watching, bill they wired me that l must come If only for a week We had a man who bed been on the pla-'e nil his life—wa# a slave of the man from whom I bought it and hsd stuck to hie old master after he was five Sam Johnson wa* a aort of foreman anl really understood the care of irees about as well as any negro I ever hid.
