Damage' ;to the Peach Crop .and Nursery
' ' - Btoek. .' :..
From the Greensboro Patriot
Various opinions T having been given by
planters the "oldest inhabitants" and others
in regard to the xUmage "-to peach orchards,
nursery stock, etc., in this section of North
Carolina, by the late cold snap, we ad
dressed the following letter to Mr J. Van
Lindley, a prominent Nurseryman of Gail
ford, and we print his reply thereto:
Greensboro, N. C, Feb. 11, 1881.
Mr J.' Van Lindley: Dear Sir: Will
yon be good enough to furnish me for pub
lication in the Patriot, your views as to the
extent of damage sustained by peach or
chards and nursery stock in this section, by
the late cold weather ?
Yours truly, B. T. Fulghtjm.
Pomona Hill Nueseries, )
Feb. 12th, 1881. j"
Ca.pt. R. T. Fulghum:
Respected Friend: I have yours of the
11th inst., asking my opinion in regard to
the damage done to fruit trees and young
nursery stock in this section by the late
cold snap. My opinion is, there is but lit
tle damage done to any except peaches. 1
believe peaches will be scarce in this section
in 1881. I have examined a great many
fruit buds, and as yet have not been able
to find a live one, and I fear all young or
chards, that is peach orchards, that have
been planted in the last two years will have
to be cut back, down to the surlace of the
Snow, which was about ten inches deep at
that time; but can tell best after the sap
rises in the Spring; and should they throw
out sprouts near the ground and not at the
top. then cut back to the joint indicated
And trim to one leading shoot if you wish to
save your trees. Young nursery peach
stock, that is stock now ready for planting
out in orchards) of which I have a fine stock,
are damaged that is, those unacquainted
with the best mode of managing young
peach trees would think so at least. But
they are not hurt below the surface of the
Snow, and my experience is, that it is an ad
Vantage to a young peach tree, just planted
ttitj to cut it back to near the ground, it
will give the roots a chance to start first,
and if properly trained, in two years will
be a larger and finer tree than if it had not
been cut back. So that class of stock is not
really damaged, but must be properly man
aged, as stated above. I can only give you
this as my opinion. I have no experience
in such cold snaps, having never heard or
known fruit trees being injured by cold
weather in this Daft of North Carolina be
fore. I have it from tradition that about
100 years ago there was a similar occurrence.
Respectfully yours,
J, Van Lindley.
Defective Cotton Seed.
From Southern Texas, where the farmers
have begun to think about the new cotton
season, we have already received a few
scattering letters complaining of the injury
to seed caused by the rainy Fall and Win
ter season ; and if we are not mistaken this
will be a prolific source of trouble through
out the South before a good stand is achiev
ed the next crop. Many thousands of do!
lars were lost from this cause last season. '
The excellent practice of testing the seed
just before planting time is made use of in
some parts ot Ueorgia. The quality may
be very readily determined by counting out
one or two hundred seed and planting them
evenly in a shallow box of mellow soil, and,
after watering the box with warm water,
set it in a light, warm place. In a few days
the seed will germinate, when they may be
counted, and, if only seventy-live or eighty
out of the hundred come up, it will show
that the quality Is sufficiently good to justi
fy the use only of a bushel to the acre on
any but very stiff clayey soil. On land of
the latter Character) or on any land very
poorly prepared, it may be safe to nse a
bushel and a half, and over this is never
necessary if the seed are of good quality.
Three to five bushels of seed were all
well enough, perhaps, when a planter want
ed to insure a "perfect stand" of three stalks
in the hill, and hills nine inches apart, but
now, when intelligent and progressive farm
ers are getting to see that not over 7,000
stalks are desirable, and that in most cases
5,000 are better, they find a bushel of seed
amply sufficient. Even when drilled this is
enough, and when the land is checked half
this quantity will insure a perfect stand.

Cheap. Manure for Gardens.
A correspondent of the Germantown Tel
egraph writes: The effective and economical
fertilizing of small fields or gardens, more
especially those devoted to vegetables mav
obtain by simply digging in fresh vegetable
refuse, even weeds pulled or cut green pre
vious to flowering and seeding. So the un
sightly and slovenly appearance of heaps in
the garden are obviated that are often seen
when there is no covered shed near by for
composting. For this there is generally not
uiuuu imiure leiw. j.u mis connection it may
not be amiss to state that green plants piled
tightly, ferment, dry ones decay ; and the
use of either for manuring is governed by

Shoeing Horses.
The shoeing of horses, as done by the
larger portion of the smiths, is an outrage
on hnmanity and common" sense. Many
smiths pare oil the heels ot a norse almost to
the very quick, lowering the rear of the
hoof so as to cause the animal to stand un
naturally on his feet, and causing the toe,
or front of the foot, when moving, to strike
the ground before the heel touches, pro
ducing an unnatural strain on the rear ten-
dons ot the legs, ana making mm siumoie.
Besides, they cut out all the frog of the feet,
that ought to remain as a cushion for pro
tection from rocks, etc., ana sls a key to
keep them from slipping. Again, they pare
off unnecessarily too much of the under part
of the hoof, leaving too little of the soft
part (the cushion) to protect the foot from
bruising on frozen ground, rocks, etc.
Worse and ruinous still, when the hoof is
thus pared off almost to the quick, is the
practice of fitting a red-hot shoe by burn
ing the hoof to a fit ; and, lastly, after nail
ing on a shoe by far too small for the foot,
the shoe resting on the inner soft part of the
hoof, instead ot the outer hard part, where
the strength of the foot lies, of cutting off
beyond and outside of the shoe this very
hard, outside, horny substance, and rasping
it entirely away, without which the foot has
no strength or can ever be kept in its nat
ural shape. The outside eighth of an inch
or less of this purely horny substance of the
hoof is to the animal's foot its protection
and main strength, and when thus destroy
ed by careless inhumanity, or the want of
common sense to do the work correctly, ac
cording to the true nature of the foot, should
be a punishable and fineable offence by
laws which should at once be enacted by
every State in the Union ; for, aside from
the ruin and loss of thousands of horses and
mules, humanity to the beast demands that
these butchering botches should be made
responsible for their ruinous acts. George
Watt, the Flow Maker.
8dgT A new variety of silk worm has been
recently discovered in the mountains of Ne
braska. Naturalists pronounce the worms
bombvx quercicus. It is a silk worm that
feeds on oak leaves, and is largely used in
China. It makes several broods in a year,
and its silk has peculiar qualities. I he fibre
is strong. All other silk worms, in emerg
ing from the cocoon, cut a hole for exit,
which, by breaking the continuity of the
thread in unwinding, renders it of little
value. The bombyx quercicus pushes aside
the threads instead ot cutting them, and the
cocoon is as valuable as others reserved in
ordinary kinds for spinning by killing the
contained worm. ' The new silk worm is
hardier than the old. It is raised in the
open air, needing neither care or shelter.

In sowing down land to any crop of
grain or grass, do not neglect to use the
roller for finishing off the surface, so as to
make good, smooth work for the scythe or
machine. The roller will also be useful for
smoothing down mowing fields where the
soil has been heaved by frost during the
Winter. It will set out the grass plants
anew by pressing them closely down to the
soil. A little clover or grass seed, may be
scattered over thin places, before going on
with the roller, and if it needs it, a little
fertilizer of some kind should also be ap
plied.

COTTON AND CORN CULTIVATOR.
The superiority and advantage of the Hamilton
Cultivator becomes manifest upon examination.
The wheels are always in the Water Fubbow and
not on the adjacent beds.
We warrant it to run steady, and do good work
in the toughest or hardest soil ; requiring but little
effort to guide, and to be unequaled in the quality
of Its work.
The hitch is directly attached to the ends of the
beams, is adjustable high or low, for deep or shal
low plowing and takes all weight off the hones
necks.
The uprights besides their internal adjustment
are left free to swing back and forth on the arch
bar; which equalizes the draft by leaving each
horse to draw his own load, and prevents the tongue
or wheels from being thrown across the row by the
uneven movement of the team or any other cause ;
thus preserving the line of draft and decreasing the
labor of guiding.
We furnish with each Cultivator 4 Shovels, 2
Clod-Fenders, 2 Bull-Tongues, Double and Single
