WESTERN EDITORIAL NOTES. 
WINTER PEACHES. 
I was introduced to a Michigan peach-grower 
named Bkidgf.man the other day, who, in the 
course of our conversation, named three jw>achce 
size, but productive. Belar, of Ind. It is the 
best early peach in Indiana. It ripens all at 
once; can pick the fruit on a tree at one time— 
atone picking. Heaver, of Cinn. It is scarcely 
the size of the Early York; second in quality; 
only desirable because of its earliness, product¬ 
iveness and size, (t is valuable as a market 
fruit, for it never comes in bearing in competition 
with other varieties. It, is earlier than Troth’s 
Early. Qutnktte. The gentleman has de-

should think it would pay to grow a few thou¬

your Michigan readers can confirm this testi¬ 
mony? _ 
PEACHES POR EGYPT. 
The Illinois State Horticultural Society, ap¬ 
pointed a committee, (of which the writer was a 
member,) to procure peach lists from the differ¬ 
ent peach localities best adapted to the wants of 
the market orchard 1st. A letter addressed to 
one of the Vice Presidents of the Society, T. J. 
Evans, South Pass, III., a large orchardist and 
peach grower, elicited the following reply, which 
is regarded of importance to all who may think 
of settling in the peach regions of the West: 
“From past consultations with orchardists in 
this vicinity, together with my own observations 
and experience, I submit the following list of 
have a peach called Honest John that is a little 
earlier than Crawfords Early, and a little better 
peach. But it is yellow, and Honest John is de¬ 
scribed as red. We got it from Delaware. 
Crawford's Early should not bo dispensed with. 
It is likely to rot. It was added to the list for 
profit 
Yellow Rareripe— Hadley. It is a fine peach, 
a little tender for shipping. It is good size, a 
pretty fair bearer and a good grower. In unfa¬ 
vorable weather the fruit is liable to rot and sub¬ 
jects the grower to a loss in damp and hot 
weather. It follows the Crawfords Early in 
season. It is the bc6t peach I know of at that 
season. Not votes enough to recommend it. 
Cole's Early—il logins. I want gentlemen to 
understand that it is far bettor for profit than the 
Early Crawford , on the prairies, because it is 
hardier. I should recommend it every time.

peaches for market purposes, for an orchard of It waa added to the list; also Old Mix on

Tillottson mildews badly, but os there is no other 
variety to take its place, I would recommend a 
few. Honest John, Cooledge’s Favorite, the 
Crawfords atul Old Mixon, are varieties that , 
I should be in every orchard." (

PEACHES IN MISSOURI. 
No body of men west of Ohio can discuss peach ' 
culture more intelligently, nor talk of varieties ( 
more understanding^, than the members of the 
Missouri Horticultural Society, because there is 
no equal number of Western men who have had 
the experience with the best cultivated varieties 
of peaches that they have. Its membership em¬ 
braces gentlemen from the oldest and beBt peach 
I districts in Illinois and Missouri. Hence we aro 
compelled to look to this body for the information 
on this subject adapted to the wants of Western 
planters, I took full notes of the discussions and 
deem them of sufficient importance to forward 
them for publication in the Rural. 
LIST FOR PROFIT. 
f Volh’s Early — Hadley, of South Illinois. In 
I 1861 it ripened the 15th of July at Makanda Sta¬ 
tion, Ill. Cen. R.R. It ripened at St. l-ouis the 20th 
to the 25th of July. There is no Peach that will 
surpass it in its season. Voted to recommend it 
Hale's Early —Coleman. It is not known 
here. Knox. I have not cultivated it, but have 
heard of it in the vicinity of Cleveland. It is said 
to be earlier than the Troth’s Early. Dr 
Warder. Those who have it like it. It is oue 
of the earliest. Quinette. I have found Troth’s 
Early tbo earliest in the St Louis market Ber¬ 
gen’s Yellow is as early as Troth’s. Not enough 
votes for it 
RettingilFs Early —A gentleman asked for in¬ 
formation. Mr. pKTrrNGlLL said:—It is a seed¬ 
ling from a New Hampshire tree. Brought the 
seed from N. II. Planted three stones and have 
three trees almost identical. It is earlier than 
the Serralc Early York. It has borne regularly 
and well. It is two weeks earlier than Troth’s 
Early, but not so large a peach. Last spring it 
was affected with the curled leaf, and the fruit 
was imperfect. I would advise light investments 
in it. until it is improved. The trees are from 
seed planted in 1852. It is a bright, pretty fruit. 
No action. 
Early Tillottson— Colman. I have grown it. 
Have found it the best early peach I had—even 
size, showy, beautiful, and productive when 
grown on prairie soil. I should plant it largely. 
It has not mildewed with me; but I have heard 
of it3 doing so in some localities. Mcir. Have 
had it many years and no mildew. It is product¬ 
ive. Quinette. The peach itself is tender. I 
do not think very highly of it It is rather small 
and liable to be affected by the curculio. No 
votes for it. 
Early Cling—S xjl defer. It is profitable for 
any one who wants to raise an early Cling peach. 
It ripens about the lime of the large Early York. 
Quinette. I cannot recommend it very highly. 
Dr. Morse. We do not want an Early Cling. 
I /J It does not sell well in market Quinette. 
M There is this in favor of the Cling—it carries and 
P0 keeps well and is not liable to injury by insects, 
fri The Washington Cling is the most profitable. 
No votes for it 
j 7 Large Early York —Added to the list for 
profit Hadley. It commences to ripen about 
-JV a week later than 'Troth's Early. It is the best 
peach to succeed Troth’s Early without a break. 
Cole's Early Reel— Huggins. This peach follows 
$£% the Large Early York. It is small, or medium 
Free, without discussion. 
New England Cling— Quinette. This peach 
ought to be put next in the list It is profitable. 
I have cultivated it. 15 years, f have had no dif¬ 
ficulty in selling it if 1 could get people to taste 
of it It is uniformly productive. Woods, ot 
Alton. The fruit is large and of superior flavor. 
I think highly of it Would plant, it as a profit¬ 
able clingstone peach. Quinette. Would 
rather any other peach should go out of my or¬ 
chard than this so far as profit is concerned. 
Added to the list for profit 
Magnum Donum— II adley. It is next in sea¬ 
son. It is excellent, red, fair size, good for car¬ 
riage, firm good flavor. I would not know how 
to dispense with it Heaver. I am happy to 
hear favorable testimony of it. It has been kept 
in the dark too long. I am agreeably disap¬ 
pointed that it is mentioned here. It is one of 
the prettiest, fairest and best peaches in cultiva¬ 
tion. With me, on a single tree, it is a good 
bearer. It is superior as to quality. Quite as 
good as the Old Mixon. Hadley. It is pro¬ 
ductive and of good quality. Added to the list 
for profit. 
Marker's Seedling— Hadley. This is a good 
peach—the best 1 know of in Us season. It car¬ 
ries well, sells well, and Is a good dessert peach. 
I should not know how to dispense with it. It 
ripens alter Magnum Bonum. Flagg, of Alton. 
My friends who are planting to fill the entire 
season, are planting it. Not votes enough to

There is a variety with white seeds and flowers, 
and another with lilac (lowers, both equally pro¬

of Feb. 7th, 1833, on page 47, ft small thread like worm 
described by Mr Pulton, of Illinois, as being an enemy 
of the peach tree, not hitherto noticed or reported by any 
one writing for journals l am in the peaoh orchard 
business, and have been for some five or six years, and in 
my experience In battling with the enemies of my trees, I 
have often come, across the said white worm down at the 
collar of the tree, but never could see that they did any 
damage—never found them In any case except in the gum 
of an old wound produced by the common grub, and 1 , 
am of the opinion that they are perfectly harmless. They 
seem only to revel in this old exudation, consuming what 
they need of it to sustain life, as 1 think this constitutes 
their food, t have never found this worm in a flesh 
wound, say of the present year,— invariably m old ones. 
Inasmuch as attention has been called to this little even 
lure, 1 will, during the present year, examine them still 
closer. They arc, of course, no kin to the grub, as sup 
posed by Mr Baulky— at any rate, not the same worm.—

Diana, Sept. 2btli; Concotd and Isabella, both Sept. 26th; 
Rebecca, Dot. 1st; To-Salon ami Oalawlm, Oct. 4th. The 
Anna did not get perfectly ripe by Oet 16th. It is too 
late a variety for ttlia latitude, unless it ripens earlier when 
older. The different periods of ripening grapes varies ac 
cording to circumstances, locality, and other influences; 
but by comparing the different reports of this kind, a fair 
average may be reached.

CAKE RECIPES. 
- 1 
Inclosed I send you a few recipes, all of 
which I know to be good. 
Plain Fruit Cake.—F our cups of sugar; li 
of butter; 64 of flour; 2 of sweet milk; 6 eggs; 1 
nutmeg; 2 teaspoons of soda; 1 pound of stoned 
raisins, chopped fine; citron, if you wish. 
German Cakes.—O ne pound of (lour; 1 pound 
of sugar; 4 eggs; season with caraway; cut out 
and bake like cookies. 
Fried Cakes—A very excellent recipe.— A 
two quart basin even full of flour; 2 teacups of 
cream; 1 do. buttermilk; 1 do. sugar; 1 egg; 1 
teaspoon of soda; half a teaspoon of salt. 
Jelly Cake. — One egg; 2 tablespoonfuls of 
sweet milk; 1 of thin, sweet cream; 2 tablespoon¬ 
fuls of sugar; 1 teaspoonful of cream of tartar; 
half do, of soda, and a small quantity of Hour. 
Spread on the jelly and roll while warm. 
Nice Sponge Cake. —One pound of sugar; 
three-fourths pound of flour; 10 eggs, the whites 
bcatou separately. Put the sugar and yolks to¬ 
gether, then put in a little flour and a little of the 
whites, beating it each time. This will make 
two cakes on large tins. m. a. 
PREPARING RENNET. 
Noticing among “The Batch of Inquiries” 
in the Rural of Feb. 7ih, one for preparing ren¬ 
net, and tho quantity used, I send tbe following 
rule, which, if J. Miller, New Jersey, will 
adopt, will secure him good cheese and ready 
market. 
Let four rennets (half hogs’ rennets preferred) 
bo put to souk for twenty-four hours in four gal¬ 
lons of water. Strain off the liquor, and add till 
the salt it will dissolve, leaving some in the bot¬ 
tom of the pot. Steep two ounces of cloves, and 
two of cinnamon, and add this, strained, to the 
liquor. Two lemons sliced and put in will add 
much to tho flavor; also, a small piece of annatto. 
Of this preparation 1 use 3 gills for eighteen gal¬ 
lons of milk. J. Miller can readily toll what 
amount will be required for one gallon. 
If, after soaking, the rennets are placed in a 
stone jar and thoroughly covered with salt, they 
may lie used a second, and even a third time, 
, with equal success; though it will require a 
j larger quantity of the third soaking, than of tho 
j first and second, Mrs. Allen Gould.

Conk Frames.— I find in the Rural of Feb. 
7th, a wish for instruction about Cone Frames. 
First., select such cones ns you wish to use. I’re- 
pare your glue Viy boiling a long time. Wet a 
space on the frame with glue, then arrange the 
cones to your taste, or pattern, until the glue 
cools, and then wet again; and ho on till you 
have arranged and filled up all your designs. 
Then make the ground-work, with small seeds— 
such as buckwheat, coriander, or the like. When 
i thoroughly dry, varnish with colored copal var¬ 
nish. If you wish u dark frame, stain the varnish 
with a littlo burnt umber. Various seeds and 
fruit pits, may be used with cones to advantage. 
Cones plucked before they are ripe will not often 
open.—H. D. II., Pompey, N. Y., 1863.

inquiries, we would state that, iu cases where from four to 
-ix copies are ordered at $1,60 ouch, with a reasonable pros¬ 
pect of filling up a club of ten, we will seud them — and 
when the club is completed shall send extra copy, &c. This 
will accommodate those who do not wish to wait tor others. 
Any person who U not an agent, sending the club rate 
($1,60) for a single copy (the price of which Is $2.) will only 
receive the paper the length of time the money pays Cor at
