RAISING PEACHES. Why Every Farmer Should Plant a Fair '•Pita In Hla Yard. At a recent horticultural exhibition a fruit-grower showed twenty varieties of natural peaches grown frost the seed without grafting, alt excellent and some o f them of extraordinary size and beauty. The peaches were raised in latitude 41 and longitude 71. When is considered the ease and inexpensiveness of raising peaches it is a wonder that every man and every woman who has access to a patch of earth in mi^dle latltade does not raise them. Half o f the population might have its own peach orchard, and have not only peaches but’ also shade and ornament for garden, dutdoorexercise and mind relief. Whatever lifts the < lily burden, fnm the mind prolongs life. ■j During the pu t summer peacheshave abundant, and a large number of swines have been Bavqd, for whoever Is interested in peach oulture never throws away a peach-pit Bnt ascheap as peaches may be—four quarts for a quarter—the peach from one’s own tree is different fruit The raisingo f peach­ es is simple and inexpensive. Cast the pits into the ground, and the earth, sun and rain will do the rest I f sown in the Bpring the pits must be cracked; if in the fall, the frost will open them. Sow the pits in trenches, the pits a foot apart where the trees may stand till three or four feet high. Then trans­ plant I f pits be sown every year, then trees will come to bearing every year in regular succession. There is great pleasure and delight in* i t The rapid growth of the tree is watched careful­ ly, and when blooming time comes, the fruit forms and begins to expand, the interest increases. What w ill the froit be like? What color, shape, flavor? Whatever it may be, it w ill bo differ­ ent from any peach in the world—new fruit absolutely. There is nothing in agriculture more interesting, or profitable In manyways, thanpeach cultare. And fruit—fresh fruit! It is the world’s best medicine and antidote.—George Appleton, in Farm and Home. aCIENOE IN FARMING. XmprertMMta la FtMiap Due to ty*- . H***arriMHa Perhapi^po subject is .more interest­ ing to the farmer than that of feeding hi* stoolc, pa the saving of a small por­ tion of the food daily for a large herd or Hock is quite an item in a year. Sci­ ence has enabled the modern farmer to arrive at a knowledge o f how to feed in order to accomplish' some object In view, instead of measuring all foods with the pitchfork- The composition o f foods, with their relative value in the formation of fat, flesh, milk or wool enable* the farmer o f the pres­ ent day to select his foods au-3 to use or apply them in those directions to .which they are most serviceable. Be­ fore scientific experiments brought to view the adaptability of certain foods for special purpose# the -feeding of stock was hat » matter of conjecture, bulk being all sufficient; but improved methods have made changes as com­ plete .as the successful revolutions In other departments on the farm. Experiments mode at'several agri­ cultural stations show That foods are digested so completely as to give no in­ dications o f their presence. Thus, .cot­ ton seed meal fed .to cows, although affecting the composition’of the milk, gave no trace of its presence, being converted into butter fat, ahd it is now accepted as a fact that the starch and nitrogenous matter also contributed to the formation of fat, which explains the source of the large yields of butter by noted cows, And the rapid increase of weight by selected 6teers, from food that was ap­ parently lacking in the elements that served to form the fats o f the body, Fat on the body is that portion of the food which is not immediately required for the support of an animal, being stored away for anemergency or future use, and a hungering animal will con- syme its own flesh, the supply-being ready,, and when it is exhausted the animal is then reduced to an emaciated condition. The storage of fat on an animal-does not complete its supply.in all respects. The, flesh (applied as a term to the muscles and other lean portions) may be lacking to such a degree that the animal perishes, though in » fat con­ dition. <I t literally dies of starvation, or it loses in weight, because', though covered with fat, a loss ensues in the other materials forming its body. The bones become soft, the muscles waste away and the animal is out of con-, dition. When fattening an animal, therefore, the greatest gain' is secured when foods not only rich in the ele­ ments that produce fat are given, but also containing mineral matter - and flesh-forming elements. Cora alone is not equal to corn and clover hay, be­ cause the corn is deficient in mineral matter, and a variety, therefore, af­ fords a greater opportunity for gain in all directions, improvement in feed­ ing also adds to the weight at less cost and increases the profit from that source also.—Philadelphia Record. CHEAP DAIRY BARN; A flnllding Adapted for a Farm of .Mod­ erate Size. The following is a description and plan of a cheap dairy barn, furnished the Orange Judd Farmer by J. T. Bur­ leigh. The barn is 60 feet long, 20 feet wide and 24 feet high to the eaves, and on either side is a lean-to shed 15 feet wide and 8 feet high at the eaves. A ll the side studding is a by 6 inches, set 4 feet apart, and all rafters a by.4 inches, 2 feet apart Braces of 2 by 0 inch lumber, 12feet long, extend from the middle of ench side of the barn roof to the side studding. The rafters of the barn roof are 12 feet long, and of the shed roof IS feet The studding of the barn ends is 2 by 8 inch lumber, 10 feet long, above which, in the middle of the end, is a door 8 feet square; the stud­ ding beside and above the door being Care the Mala Require»*wt. In successful breeding one of the main requirement* is ears. Without it good blood or good feed or good nat­ ural conditions w ill lose nearly all o f their value, and all combined can scarcely bring a profit Core cannot take the place of good blood or good food or favorable natural conditions,, bnt it can do more alone than any cf/tk* them, and with them as its material it will produce the most gratifying suits.
