CULTIVATION OF THE I’EAIH
PEAR.
The peach is a native of Persia in Asia,
a hotter and dryer climate than our own
and there is no reason why it should not
be grown in the greatest perfection and
profusion with us. It is unusually re
garded as the queen of fruits and com.
mands ready sale in every form in which
we can put it in market, aid were it not
for the danger of spring frosts and the
consequent destruction of the crop, it
would pay us to turn half of our cotton
fields into peach orchards. There is a),
ways a good demand for it -in market,
either fresh, dried or canned, and 1
think that even the small industry ol
cracking the pits and collecting the ker
nels for confectionary and cake, would
pay well in our idle honrs. Hereafter
the South to be prosperous, must bo a
nation of small industries. We hare
Arlvm. our staple crop cqUuu into the
ground, we muKi -~*"i
for a support, and I koKTof nothing
that promises such quick and certain re
turns as the cultivation and preparation
for market of all the different kinds of
fruits that are adapted to our soil and
climate.
The peach is divided into two classes
known as free stones and cling stones.
The free stones are preferred, and if you
plant for market they should alone be
planted or in proportion to teu to one as
the cling stones are not saleable except
for preserving, and do not dry so well
The soil best adapted to the peach is
* dry sandy loam, the dryer and finer
(he sand the better. It should be mod
erately fertile, not rich like an apple or
ehard, but sufficiently so to bring six or
seven hundred pounds of cotton to the
acre.
Preparation of the land.— Plow with
• one horse turning plow broadcast five
inches deep. Harrow and level the
land. Lay off with same plow, rows fif
ftccn feet apart. Cross at same distance
and plant your trees at the cross, just a«
deep as they were iu the nursery. Don’t
dig out boles for them any larger than
will hold all the roots Put a stake to
each tree and tie the tree to it with a
piece of string or old cloth. The object
of this is that the tree if at all vigorous
the first spring, rune its limbs ahead of
its roots and becomes top heavy and is
MaWe to be blown down After the first
year it will not need the stake. When
Isnted head dowq^to two feet ued cut
If an the larger limbs,
Cultivation—Plant the land in cotton
Until the trees arc four years old, after
(hat make it a permanent hog pasture,
or ifyou don’t raise hogs, a poultry yard.
Manurea.—As long as you plant in
eotton manure heavily (go os to supply
the draft of the Ireea and make a paying
cottou crop), with asy or all the differ
ent kind* of manure that yon may make
or buy. When you cease to plant the or
chard in anything haul in straw, leaves
and wood rakings, and spread broadcast
on the top of ihw'gronnd, as a mulch and
let it lie. Top dress also with ashes,
lime or acid phosphate. A few bushels
of ashes or two hundred pounds of lime
or one hundred of acid phosphate with
the leave# or at aw, will keep tke or.
chart in good heart and produce fine
crepe.
Pruning.—The peach requires heavy
pruning to keep the tree healthy aud
raiae the fruit io perfeetlon. They should
when planted be headed down so as to
make them branch near the ground, and
keptao. Krery year one half of the
bearing wood ia the wood of the last
year’* growth, should be cot off. This
ia done by pruniog shears or a sharp
knife—the slieara are the better and
more expeditious. The object of prun
ing is to prevent the tree from over
bearing and breaking down, and also ! >
compact the head so as to shade the fruit
for although the peach requires a hot
•liinate to perfect it, yet it is more per-,
feet -when grown in (he sWie of it* own
leaves than when exposed to the sun.
The pruning is expeditious work when
done with shears. They cost two or
three dollars and will last ten years. A
man will prune fifty trees in a day with
Diseases and deatmetire insects
The peach is not liable here to the yel.

structive at the North. All we have to

have tried the various preventives re
oommeoded in the books, such as fires
in the orchard, hesry mulching of the
roots of the trees so as to retard bloom,
ing, eorer the tress with cotton sheets,
Ac-, but bare always failed. The worms
•ro easily gotten rid of. They ate of
two kinds—the borer which infests the
tree and the small white worm which
prey* upon the fruit. The borer lays iu
eggs in the latter part of summer at the
root of the tree. It hatches out a small
white worm with a red bead, which eiU
into the bark of the tree and in some
destroys it. It can be easily dis-
the body of the true, or put a little quick
lime around it. 1 once saw coal tar re
commended, but it killed the trees lor
me as well as the vorms. Ifyou scrape
around the tree iu the Pall, draw back
the earth before spring as the exposure
of the rooU makes the tree bloom earlier
aud more liable to be killed by late trosu.
The fly which breeds the worm that eats
the fruit lays its eggs in the fruit by
boring into it as soon ss it is formed,
the eggs hatch out a small white worm
that eaU the fruit aud destroys it. The
remedy for them is hogs iu the orchard
to eat up the damifj^cd fruit as soon as it
drops, or the tedious process of picking
up and destroying it by fire. Poultry
will sometimes answer but arc not as
effectual as pigs.
Varieties to plsut —If you plant for
the market plant 'he earliest varieties,
so as to get them to market before the
Northern ft uit come in. If you plant
*-• Sunn consumption nlsut those 'hat
ripen fr tn June to October. They are
so many and all so fine that I hesitate to
select from them. I append a list that
I know arc good.
For June and July—Amsden, Beatrice
Tillotson, Early Ann, Early York, Ame.
lia, Troth’s Early, Monterey, George the
IV, Grosse Mignoune, Crawford’s Early,
Susquehaonah, Van Zaudt s Superb.
For August.—Crawford's Late, Stunp

For September—President Church,

For October.—Baldwin’s Late, Oeto
ber Free.
Cling Stones—Chinese Cling. Bor*
deaux Cling, Early Bed Cling, Leniiin<
Cling, Pino Apple Cling, Union Nonpa
reil. Chaplin Cling, Scott’s October
What to plant.—Send to sonic reliable
nurseryman, the nearest home the b:tter
and get your tree*. Don’t waste your
time and land on seedlings. You may
occasionally get a good one, but nine
times out of ten you will fail. The
peach does not produce its like from seed
How much to plant.—Fifty trees are
enough for a large tumily. if they are
properly eared for. If for market, four
acres ou a oue horse farm is as much as
you can spare labor for from the other
crops of your turm. Ifyou are at some
distance from a rai'road the hauling will
consume all the profiis. You had better
dry them Good dried peaches
worth iu the market about fifteen
a pound. A bushel will m
pounds. They must bedried in
to comu aud ready sale.
Pears.—The pear ia so subject
blight with us, and I have been so
unfortunate iu its attempted cultivation
that I heslitute to recommend it. I
hive lost from the blight four succesivc
orchards, and have discontinued trying
to grow it. Others however, succeed in
growing it in great perfection. It ia a
delicious fruit, f ears trausportution well,
command* ready sa « iu the market, aud
sometimes at a high price. California
pears are sold at a profit in the Atlantic
eities, even in Charleston, and I do not
see why wc cannot at least supply that
market.
All soils suit it provided they are
rich enough. I have seen it growing
and producing firm crops on the stiffest
river clays, and the dryish sand beds of
the pine lands. It requires rich soil,
heavy manuring and nice cultivation to
grow them perfectly.
The peach and apple orchard can be
cultivated with the plow, but the pear
must not have the plow put into it after
the trees begin to bear. The cutting of
the root* is said to b* one cause of the
blight, and my •xpericnce rather con
firms that opinion. The expense of cul
tivation is therefore much greater, and
as it requires* very rich or heavy ma
nuring, the profit from growing it is uot
*0 much aa the peach or apple.
The pear it grown on its own roots, or
grafted on quince. I prefer the latter.
It is dwarfed in its growth, can be plant
ed close and produces heavier crop* to
the acre. It is equally as healthy, not
more subject to blight and the fruit cmd
be more easily gathered. The fruit
crop is a pretty certain one, seldom de
stroyed by frost and never by worms.
The fruit to be in perfection has to I e
gathered before it is ripe and ripened
io the house in the shade.
Distance apart to plant.—Ifyou plant
dwarfs pat them ten feet apart, If ou
its own roots, twenty feet.
Varieties to plant —Madeleine, Upper
Crust, Bartlett, Summer Doyenne, Seek
el, Dearborn's Ceedling, L >uise Bourne
de Jerey, Benrre Diel, Duchesse d‘
Angoulcine, St. Michael, Benrre Easter.
Glout Morccan, Marion, Winter Nelie.
I will continue the subject of fruits io
my next.
The usefuluesa aud value of horses and
working oxen will also be greatly infiu
enced by the treatment and kind ol care
which they have bestowed upou them by
their owners. Good care, we do not
now mean feeding, will prolong the life
of animals, aud it is in fact the founda
tion of the science w.iich we term veteri-
nary, for an animal receiving kind care
will, as a matter of o mrse, be healthy
and iu good condition, while slock which
does not receive this, are io a lair way
to be diseased, and uot iu a condition to
be thrifty. A few words now upou this
topic.
Cattle should receive the same treat
ment now that they have in winter—
that is, they should be s abled every
night. Not only to be proteeted from
the inclemency of the fall storm* and
damp nights, but that the uriue aud
manure may be secured from the woulh
er by means of a shed or cellar, aud thus
greatly add to the quality aud bulk of
the manure heap. Muek, loam, leaves,
Ac., may be used for a litter as an ab
sorbent. Cows, especially at this season,
require kiud care, a warm stable, whole-
omc aud nutritious food ; aud such as
ii« with call should be provided for iu a
more kiudly manner than all this; but
oue taut should be remembcied—a large
extra amount of feeding will nut make up
for a cold stable.
Sheep must he kept from wet as much
as possible. Cold rams iu the full mouths
•re tube avoided, aud they should never
be suffered to be nut iu them. They are
liable to take cold, winch at this lime
they may be lont; io recovery from.
Sheep also require to be separated aud
divided, keeping them iu places where
the weaker ones may receive extra cure,
and where better feed can bo given them.
A little pains and precaution in this re
speet, will greatly promote their comfort,
aud it may also save the lives of the
flock. .
Horses, peiliap#, receive better atteu.
tiou lhau other stuck ou the larm, and
yet caie is often wanting iu this matter.
They are, it is true, for the service of
man, aud are given him to perform la
bor; this labor does not injure them it
it is eonsisteut aud reasuuable. It is the
after cure which tells ou their health
aud soundness. To drive a horse sever
al miles of a winter evening, uud then
let him remain iu the cold without a
protection from the weather, is inhuman
treatment; and to stable him after such
a drive, without a good rubbing and a
warm bedding is also wrong. Let these
things be thought of. ‘ The merciful
man is merciful to bis beast.”—C uitf/y
