A late number of the Ohio Farmer
tells us in substance, that the cultiva
tion of the peach is attended with care
and trouble as well as expense ; and
some knowledge is v> paired to lead to
success. Many orchards are annually
set out only to be grubbed up after two
or three years, on account of not being
set out in the proper kind of soil, suit
ably prepared, or well cared for after
being planted. A well known writer
On agriculture and horticulture said,
“ eternal vigilance is the price of fruit/’
and experience with fruit proves the
truth of the saying. No matter how
well the trees be planted if they have
not constant and good coultivation they
will not prove profitable. This accounts
for so many persons saying that the
fruit business is about used up, that it
is unprofitable now because so many are
engaged in it, not thinking that the
proper attention to all the details will
insure good fruit which commands a
ready sale, no matter how large a glut
there may be of ordinary or inferior
fruit, at a paying price. Judging,
from the immense quantities of very
inferior fruit annually marketed in our
large cities it seems that it almost
useless to attempt to urge fruit growing
to produce only A No, 1 fruit; and
not only do we find poor fruit marketed
in a very slovenly manner, but, in many
instances, fruit which commands a ready
sale and would do so at a remunerative
price, is packed in such a manner that
it must be sold along with much inferi
or fruit, and at nearly the same price.
A little time in packing, and a Letter
style of packages, would insure prompt
returns and satisfactory ones too.
The first thing in order is the prepa
Nation of the soil. The soil should be
prepared as thoroughly a3 it can, for
t&e future success of the orchard de
pends in a great measure on the strict
of this. The soil selected
should bed light or loamy one, ood one
in which no pettfib orchard has been
grown, or at least for many years before.
The writer has seen orchards of the
ficach set out in good soil, in which oth
er crops grew and produced well, but
they did not pay anything to the plan
ters. Peach trees had been rrown in
the same soil before, and that doubtless,
was the cause of the failure.
And when OQCCOut the peach orchard
must not be neglected. you must
look after it all through the summer,
keeping down weeds and keeping every
thing in order, as cutting out dead
branches, rubbing young shoots from
the trunks, cutting off sucker > anil the
like. If you have the material con
venient a good mulch for the young
trees will be a paying investment. It
may be made of almost any litter
pine straw answers very well for a
mulch.
——i- —-——•
Clover as
Of all the grasses pertnissablo in au
orchard, clover is the least objectiona
ble and most beneficial, particually as a
shade. An enthusiastic agricultural
writer argues that thero is no other
plant of so much value to farmers as
this. It furnishes the most perfect pro
tection to the soil during the fierce dry
beats of summer. Being a constantly
deciduous plant, its leaves are perpetu
ally falling, and soon form a delicate
covering for shade, and easily penetra
ted at all points by the air, which is the
great carrier to the worn out soil of
those atmospheric elements that are to
enrich it. In this way the clover plant
not only contributes directly to the fer
tilizing of the soil by giving its own
subsistence to it, but it furnishes a pro
tective covering to the entire ground,
which encourages and stimulates those
chemical processes by which the hun
gry and exhausted soil is rocuperatcd
from the vast supplies of nutriment that
are held in the atmosphere. It becomes
to the farmer the most valuable fertili
zer in the world, as it imparts fertility
to the entire soil. It should be added,
by way of caution, tint every two or
three years it should bo plowed under
and left for a year to rot in the soil ;
otherwise the ground may get too sod
bound, which is almost invariably inju
rious to fruit trees.
What W ill Make Hens Lay ?
Put two or more quarts of water in
a kettle, and one large seed pepper, or
two small ones, then put the kettle over
the fire. When the water boils stir in
coarse-ground Indian meal until you
make a thick mush. Let it cook an
hour or more. Feed hot. Horserad
ish chopped fine and stirred into the
mush has boen found to produce good
lesults. Four weeks ago we commenc
ed feeding our !\ers with mush prepar
ed in the above directions, and for the
result we are getting from five to ten
eggs per day, where, previous to feed
ing, we had not had an egg for a long
tiu>.o. We hear a great deal of com
plaint from other people for not getting
e SS s -!k. ’-T* all we recommend cooked
food, fed hot. Boiled apple skins sea
soned with red pepper, or boiled pota
toes seasoned with hoiceradish, are good
feed, much better than uncooked corn

more profitable egg laying. A s >n

Harvesting Wheat.
Many farmers cut wheat too late,
| (waiting until it is dead ripe,) and still
more permit the grain to remain a long
time in the field in small stacks after it
is harvested. Both practices are wrong.
\\ heat intended for seed ought to be
fully ripe before it is cut; but that
which is to be ground into flour should
not stand so long. The proper time to
cut it is in the “ doughy state,” (out of
the milk,) but not hard or flinty.—
Where one has many acres to harvest,
it is difficult to avoid cutting some a lit
tle too early, or a great deal too late.
So soon as the strrw is sufficiently
cured, the crop should be housed, stored
away in a barn or thrashed. Wheat
straw is worth half the price of hay, if
the grain is cut at the right time and
the straw properly saved from rain, dew
and sunshine. Where good hay is cheap,
say four or five dollars a ton, the saving
of wheat straw for forage need not com
mand much care. But at the South,
where first-rate hay is rarely worth less
than sc7enty-five cents, or one dollar
per 100 pounds, the stems and leaves of
all the cereal grasses should be preserv
ed from damage and exposure to the
elements, and used for wintering stock.
Sheep are kept all winter on straw alone,
by the large wheat growers in western
New York ; and so are mares, colts and
cattle. Good barns, sheds and stables
are not so common as they ought to be.
and no farmer who has the means to
make these useful buildings should be
without them. They will pay a high
interest on their cost, greatly economize
fodder, aud operate to improve our live
Stock. — Daniel Lee , M. D., in South

Greeu-Soiliugf Crops for <sic
South.
Where clover can be ( grown, we be
lieve there is nothing equal to it as an
improver of the soil; and wc are more
and more strongly confirmed in the
opinion that clover can be grown on al
most any land in this country which is
already fertile enough to produce a fair
crop of corn. But if we have worn
out old fields to renovate, we cannot be
gin with clover and without manure.— *
We must plant something which will
thrive on a pC°r soil. We have the
right thing in the COW pea. We have
heard of land “ too poor to sprout cow
peas/’ but we have not had the misfor
tune to own or occupy any such unprom*
ising acres. When we have grown and
turned under even a light crop of peas,
wo have commenced the work ol im
provement. We can depend upon a
heavier crop at the next planting, pnA
in the end, with a proper rotation upon
a fertile field, when we can substitue
clover, if we choose, especially on clay
ey or loamy s oil. There are many oth.-
er crops which may be grown for green*
soiling, among which are rye, vetch,
spurry, etc., but for general culture for
(hat purpose in the South, cow peas and
clover should be the standard crops till
something better shall be found.
Do not Sell the Best.
It is often the case thac farmers sell
off the very best of their stock. The
best pigs are often selected for fatten
ing purposes because they will take on
flesh better than the others, while
the breed is left to be perpetuated
through lean, lank, sharp nosed “ hazel
splinters.” The best milch cows
and cattle are placed on the mar*
ket, because the farmer needs money
and these will bring the best prices.—
And this is the case with the horses,
sheep, and everything else —unles it be
the wife and childeren. It is regarded
as a bad plan in trading horses, always
to get a poorer one in exchange and
take the difference in “ boot.” But this
thing of always selling the best, is even
worse. By it, the farmer will not be
long in running down to 'zero. Re
member always that it never pays to
keep and feed poor stock. — Journal of
Agriculture.

APPLETON’S
AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA,
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on
every subject. Printed from new type,
and illustrated with SeveraPEngraviugs
and Maps.
The work originally published under the
title of The New American Cyclopaedia
was completed in 1863, since which time the
wide circulation which it has attained in all
parts of the United States, und the signal
developments which have taken place in
every branch of science, literature and art,
have induced the editors and publishers to
submit it to an exact and thorough revision,
aud to issue anew edition entitled Tiie
Am e ican Cyclopaedia.
Within the last ten years the progress of
discovery in every department of knowl
edge has made anew work of reference au
imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has
kept pace with the discoveries of science,
and their fruitful application to the indus
trial and useful arts and the convenience
and refinement of social life. Great wars
and consequently revolutions have occur
red, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own coun
try, which was at its height when the last
volume of the old work, appeared, has hap
pily been ended, and anew course of com
mercial and industrial activity has been
commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical
knowledge have been made by the indefati
gable explorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last
decade, with the natural result of the lapse
of time, have brought into public view a
multitude of new men, whose names are in
every one’s mouth, and of whose lives evs
ery one is curious to know the particulars.
Great battles have been fought and impor
tant sieges maintained, of which the details
are as yet preserved cnly in the newspapers
or in the transient publications of the day,
but which ought now to take their place in
permanent and authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the
press, it has accordingly been the aim of
the editors to bring down the information
to the latest possible dates, and to furnish
an accurate account of the most recent dis
coveries in science, of every fresh produc
tion in literature, and of the newest inven
tions in the practical arts, as well as to
give a succinct and original record of the
progress of political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and
eat eful preliminary labor, and with the
most ample resources for carrying it on to
a successful termination.
None of the original stereotype plate3
have been used, but every page bas been
printed on new type, forming in fact anew
Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and com
pass as its predecessor, but with a far
greater pecuniary expenditure, and with
such improvements in its composition as
have been suggested by longer experience
and enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which are introduced for
the first time in the present edition have
been added not for the sake of pictorial ef
fect, but to give greater lucidity and force
to the explanations in the text. They em
brace all branches of science and of natu
ral history, and depict the most famous and
remarkable features of scenery, architect
ure, and art, as well as the various process
es of mechanics and manufactures. Al
though intended for instruction rather than
embellishment, no pains have been spared
to insure their artistic excellence; the cost
of their execution i3 enormous, and it is
believed they will find a welcome reception
as an admirable feature of the Cyclopaedia,
and worthy of its high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only,
payable on delivery of each volume. It
will be completed in sixteen large octavo
volumes, each containing about 800 pag%s,
fully illustrated with several thousand Wood
Engravings, and with numerous coloied Li
thographic Maps.

THE sunn
WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1875.
.The apnroach of the Presidential election
gives unusual importance to the events and
developments of 1875. We shall endeavor to
describe them fully, faithfully and fearless
ly*
THE W EEKLY SUN lias noiv attained
a circulation of over seventy thousand
copies. Its readers are found in every
State and Territory, and its quality is well
known to the public. We shall not only en
deavor to kaep it fully up to the old stand
ard- but to improve and add to its variety
and power.
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to bo
a thorough newspaper. All the new of the
day will be found in it, condensed when, un
important, at full length when of moment,
and always, we trust, treated in a clear,
interesting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to make the WEEKLY SUN
the best family newspaper in the world. It
will be lull of entertaining and appropriat
reading of every sort, but will priut nothing
to oif end the most scrupulous and delicate
taste.. It will always contain the most in
teresting stories and romances of the day,
carefully selected and legibly printed.
Hie Agricultural Department is a promi
nent feature jn the WEEKLY SUN, and its
articles will always be found fresh and
useful to the farmer.
The number of men independent in poli
tics is increasing, and the WEEKLY SUN
is their paper especially. It belongs to no
party, and obeys no dictation, contending
for principle, and for the election of the
best men. It exposes the corruption that
disgraces the country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions! It
has nc tear of knaves, and seeks no favots
from their supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fash
ions are regularly roported in its columns.
The price of the WEEKLY’ SUN is ono
dollar a year for a sheet of eight pages,
and fifty-six columns. As this barely pays
the expenses of paper and printing, we are
not able to make any discount or allow any
premium to friends who may make special
efforts to extend its circulation. Under tho
new law, which requires payment of pos
tage in advance, one dollar a year, with
twenty cents the cost of prepaid postage
added, is the rate of subscription. It is not
necessary to get up a club in order to have
the WEEKLY’ EUN at this rate. Any one
who scuds one dollar and twenty cents will
get the paper, post paid, for a year
