Frozen Peach Trees. 
All our peach trees on low ground are 
frozen to the snow line, so that the wood 
inside the inner bark is of a dark yellow¬ 
ish color. Will some one who has had ex¬ 
perience, for instance, some Michigan or 
Ontario man tell what to do? Will the 
trees shrivel or will the bark crack? Is 
it advisable to head back severely? 
New Milford, N. Y. h. v. 
At this date it is impossible to deter¬ 
mine the extent of injury as the result 
of the severe Winter. During the Win¬ 
ter of 1898 and 1899, when so many or¬ 
chards were ruined, the ground was 
nearly bare, and the roots were killed, 
but this Winter there has been a good 
covering of snow, and the roots will be 
less likely to be injured. If the trees 
are on low ground not suitable for 
peaches, they are probably killed, but 
the fact that the wood is discolored is 
not positive evidence they are ruined. 
I think it would be a mistake to head 
back severely in early Spring when 
most pruning is done, but let them alone 
until it is time to leaf out; then if they 
fail to start take them out. The chances 
are most of them will make a start, and 
only a part of the top will be killed. As 
soon as they are fairly started prune out 
carefully every limb that fails to grow. 
Cultivate the ground thoroughly early 
in the season to assist nature in recov¬ 
ering from the shock. Nature will have 
no further use for this injured wood, 
and the trees will be more likely to blow 
over in a severe wind. If they live a 
new covering of wood will soon form, 
which will support the tree, as the in¬ 
jured wood becomes brittle, hence the 
necessity of forming a new growth of 
wood as soon as possible. L. J. post.

At the Connecticut Pomological Fruit 
Growers’ meeting one man said: “Saw 
them off just above the snow line and 
they will sprout out and make good 
trees in two years,” but most, of the 
growers did not think so. I have no 
faith in this method myself. Many times 
we have had trees broken down during 
a thunderstorm when loaded with fruit, 
and trees two and three years old gird¬ 
led by mice. All of these trees have 
been cut off, and never have I been able 
to get good trees from these stubs. Very 
seldom have they sprouted, but if one 
did grow it would not he strong enough 
to hold a load of fruit, for by the time 
the sprout was grown the old stub would 
decay more or less, and the tree would 
split near the old stub. I have one or¬ 
chard of large trees killed by the cold, 
and we are cutting the trees now. We 
cut these trees off about four feet high. 
In the Spring we will take the horses 
and pull them out, hitch the chain near 
the top of these stubs to pull them. 
Where trees have been set out more 
than one year and are killed to the snow 
line I do not think it will pay to try to 
save them, but rather take them out and 
start over with good trees.

BUSINESS BITS. 
Good maple syrup with all its delicate 
flavor is always a treat, and the prime 
article will always bring a good price and 
be in ready demand. The season is close 
at hand now and no sugar maker can af¬ 
ford to be without up-to-date utensils. G.

Farmers as a rule are not helpless in 
matters of repairing, but it must be con¬ 
fessed that as a general thing there is a 
sad lack of tools on the farm for this pur¬ 
pose. A little thought would convince any¬ 
one that a good set of tools, such as would 
enable the farmer to do all his ordinary 
repairing, is money well invested. See the 
C. R. Harper forge offer in another col¬ 
umn. Hardly a single day in the year 
but the average farmer could use to ad¬ 
vantage one or more of the group of black¬ 
smith tools offered by this company.

The Quaker City grinding mill is well 
calculated to meet varied farm conditions. 
Any two grains may be mixed in the 
grinding, which always insures perfect 
mixing. In handling ear corn they excel 
because of perfect crushing and the after 
fine grinding. They scarce need further 
commendation at our hands than to say 
that they have been on the market since 
1867 and that they are more popular to-day 
than ever before. They are well and dur¬ 
ably made of good material and will serve 
and last indefinitely. This mill is manu¬ 
factured by the A. W. Straub Co., of 
Philadelphia. Pa. Write them for illus¬ 
trated catalogue. 
Many a man would bet¬ 
ter go without lunch at all 
than eat the hurried lunch 
which forms the noon-day 
meal of many a business 
man. Hasty eating, foods 
hard to digest, and no time 
allowed for digestion are 
the cause of many a case 
of stomach w trouble.” 
Disease of the stomach 
seriously threatens the 
health of the whole body 
and should be promptly 
cured. Dr. Pierce’s Golden 
Medical Discovery cures 
diseases of the stomach 
and other organs of digestion and nutri¬ 
tion. It enables the perfect assimilation 
of food and the proper nutrition of the 
body on which physical strength depends. 
"Nine or ten years ago my health became 
very poor, and in 1892 was so far gone that good 
doctors pronounced my case the worst they had 
ever treated,” writes "Mr. Harvey Phipps, of 
Florence, Ala. "I had acute stomach trouble, 
liver complaint, catarrh and was nervous to such 
an extent I could not sleep. I finally got three 
bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery 
and some ‘ Pellets.’ Took them according to 
directions on the bottles, and in a few days 
noticed a decided improvement. I commenced 
to get more rest at night and could eat with 
pleasure, where formerly food was like chips to 
me. When I had used three bottles of the 
* Discovery ’ I was a new man ; could eat mince 
pie for supper, go to bed at seven P. M. and 
sleep until seven A. M. I am now working at 
my trade (carpentry), every day in all kinds of 
weather, and think if I had not taken your 
medicines I would now be under the sod.” 
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cleanse 
the clogged system from accumulated 
impurities.
