THE LATE SPRING-OATS SOWING.
The Oats crop of Franklin and most of
the Southern counties has been verY light
for Several years; and theindicatiOlVAtOW
are 'that the crop cannot be improved the
present season. ' For tlireeyears Past we
have'had very wet and late springs, and
Oats:could not be sowed in properly pre
pared ground. in March. The result has
beenthat the crop was late, and become
.the prey of insects which measurably or
almost wholly, destroyed it. Two years
ago a . large proportion of the Oatsraised
in this valley did not weigh over 18 pounds
per bushel, and last year it was almost in
variably_short in weight one-fourth.
The.reason for' the failure of the Oats
crop during the last three years is obvious.
The late wet springs . prevented the pre
paration of the ground and the sowing of
seed in due season, and the crop naturally
enougfrfailed. This year the same causes
must produce the same results. It isnot .
the 13th of April, and manifariners have
not been able as yet to get their Oats in
the ground. In. the high, lightlands pme
doubtless sowed in March ;' but in the low
and heavy limestone lands Oats is either
not.sown, Cr it has been sown upon land
'ntirely uniitted for the reception of the
seed. Farniers with such lands who have
not sown, are wiser than than those who
have done so on wet soil, the working of
would tend only 'to destroy Its vi
tality. 1,
We regard it as settled by experience :
_ that late Oats crops are, as antic, failures
in thissection ; and it becomes a question
for farmers who haire low or limestone
lands yet tO sow, whether it is wise to
seed them With Oats. It is deemed indis
pensible: that each farmer should have
some Oats sown, especially now when it
commands a high price, and promises to
increase rather than diminish in value ; '.
but we, think it best, where the character
of the soil will warrant it, new to change
the crop from Oats to Corn., Oats is al-
Midst invariably sown ou stockground,
and many lauds willatot warrant a Second
crop of Coll ; but if =Our _ arniers would .
adopt the. system of pnttin out their ma
nine in thCspring—which s always best
,when it can be done at —Corn crops
could be repeated successfully upon ordi
narily good lands without injury to them.
' Barn-yard manure is much more advan
tageous to all crops when applied in the
'spring; and M 3 Corn is not planted until
on in the mouth of ilay, the ground is
usually dry enough to haul manure with
out difficulty. Land designed for Wheat
in the fall, is much better if manured in
the spring for a spring crop-than just be
fore sowing Wheat ; and when it i t s con
sidered that manure furnishes the quali
ties inosineeded, for Corn, it' is always
' wise to manure ill the springfor Corn and.
,fnllOw with Wheat. We donot specially
commend cutting off Corn and - seeding in
Wheat the same fall, although it may be
done in favorable seasons; and especially
when, because of a very late spring like
'the present; it becomes a necessity to re
peat the Corn crop instead of Oats, and the
fall Crop Would be 'insufficient without
doing so.
Considering that Oats cannot - now be
sown with reasonable promise of a good
crop, we would advise farmers who have
wet or heavy stock lands; to put out their
manure tliii Spring and plant their stock
land in Corn 'spin. So fax 'as they can
manure, it will be wise beyond all doubt;
and. if the land is in good order, it will be
best even if i manure cannot be applied;
but if Corn be repeated without manure;
it would not be advisable to seed in Wheat
the same fall.' Unless, our :finders stop
the late sowing of Oats, the insects which
:bare impaired or destroyed the Oats for
two years past, will become fixtures with
us; and it is not improbable that they
will in a .slitirt time become as fatal to
early as late crops. Hitherto,they have
been dangerous only • to late Oats crops;
and the - way to ward against them is to
have no late , Oats for them to [ prey upon.
Corn is quite as profitable a crop as Oats,
and usually the most, profitable of the two
upon heavy soil. The change we advise,
therefore, involves no loss to the farmer
in the value of his products; and we
sabtait, to the judgment of our farmers
whether, with their experience of the last
,three years, it is wise to_ repeat &late
Oats crop to give vitality to a swarm of
' insects, which have already thrice ravaged
our county With terrible destructiveness.
pirLTIvATING PEAciIES.
Weisften hear,it urged as an excuse for
not cultivating the Peach moreextensive
ly that the worm rains the fine trees.—
There is truth in this statement. One of
the greatest causes of.failure in growing
thePettch is we think, wanf of care and atE
teNtion at the proper time. The best
. season for planting is, undoubtedly, the
the: Sining, from March to May, and may
be removed when in leaf with.safety. if
, not kept too long out of thp ground. Get
trees in goad health, from one to two
years fa from any reliable grower, plant
in good, rich loam, giving' them , good,
wide halos., Commence pruning at once,
by shortening in the last year's wood,
thus increasing thegrowth of good heal - i
thy wood. "Grow the trees with branches - 1 .
low to the ground, and thus'avoid those')
high, gangling tiings -you sometimes seel
in gardens, which the proprietor calls his' i`
Peach trees. Some have been very sue- - I
eessful in training the Peach against the
walls of houses and sheds', especially on
the North side. - This is also the- est Way 1
to-cultivate the Apricot.
Most per Sons buy trees only because
they 'are low priced, and because they
cost little, - less care is given in planting,
and they are lost sight of in the general
work of the farm. After a few years the
faizoer comes by chance on these trees,
looks over them and says; "just as I ex
pected, there is no use in planting Peach
trees, for if the- nurseryman don't cheat
you, the worms will eat them, so between
'the two there is no living for trees." Now
the norm that destroyed those trees was
the worm of sloth and neglect. Give the
Peheli as much 'attention as you do your
pcitatoes and corn, and, they will pay .
as well. We have been led to make these'
remarks after looking over Downing's
"Fruits of America." , - '
A friend the other day remarked that;
he intended to plant Peach trees this
spring, and surround the roots with "inor-,,
tAt, t ef sand and lime, believing it a rem
edy for the worm. On looking at Down
ing we find that the Peach-borer:---2Egeria
Extiosa—ifi a slender; dark bine, four
winged moth like a wasp. It commences
depositing its eggs in the soft bark at the,
base, of the trunk, usually about thelast
of Jfine, but at different times from' June
to October. The egghatches and becomes
a small white worm or grub, which grows
to three-fourths of an inch long; pene
trates and devours the sap-wood, and after
passing the winter in the tree it unfolds
itself in a cocoonlinder or upon the bark,
and emerges again in a perfect or winged
form and commences depositing its ,eggs ,
for another generation. Now if a mortar
of lime and sharp sand is placed around
the lower part of the trunk . in 'April or
May, and suffered to remain there until
winter, it seems reasonable that the moth
cannot deposit her eggs. Air-slacked_
or; ashes, in quantity of half-peek to each '•
tree, ivillanswer as well, and when spread,
over the surface prove one of the best fer-i
tilizers for the Peach. Thus with a little;
attention, he who will, may have an
abundance of fine, luscious fruit.
SERIOWS CALAMITY.
The moat serious boiler, explosion that Phila-;.!
delphia has seen for many a year occurred Wed- i !
nesday, at the foundry ,and machine shops ot
Ntessrs..Merrick & Sons, in Washington street, i !
between and Fifth, The premises are i 1
very spacious. They occupy an entire square,T
and at the time of the casualty were running
with seven hundred hands.
At a quarter before nine o'clock in the-Tpor-p
ning a deafening explosion took place that in
the twinkling of an eye filled the air with bricks,
iron and timbers, and shook the whole vieinit3.. : !
There were three distinct reports, each appar
ently louder than the other. - A minute after;
wards and the factory buildings presented a
scene that beggars all description. The boiler
that exploded was blown to the four winds, and
the debris of the engine -house, in the shape of
bricks, jagged fragments of the collapsed boil
er, pieces of beams, board and iron; were rain- ,
eddown upon the neighborhood.
The buildings upon the premises comprise the
upper and lower madhine shops, erecting sheds,
boiler and smith shops, foundry, carpenter and
pattern shops, brass pattern shop, pattern shed
and offices. These buildings occupy places in
the outer line of the lot, forming in the centre
a kind of hollow square, used as a yard. The
boilers, two in number, were known as horizon
tal tubular boilers. They were eight feet wide,
twelve feet long, nine feet high, with four fur
naces, and twenty-five horse power- each:
They were situated in the centre of the hallov,
square formed by the buildings. The one which
exploded was new. It had only been - used
some three or four times.
At the time ofthe occurrence there was 2,
pressure of fifty-five pounds of steam. It hod
been tested with seventy-five pounds steam, and
was regarded as staunch and reliable beyond
peradventure. It seems, however, that it leak
e. t, and it was while the steamit contained wat
in-ppeess of transfer to another boiler, that
,tlefealainity transpired. The boiler house was
of itist sufficient size to cover the two
,huge
boilers. It was of brick, fire proof, and bracee
with iron girders. The material of the hens'
was scattered over the neighborhood. The b oil
er was thrown across the yard like a burst
bladder. The whole range of buildings mani
fests the effects of the concussion, and shattered
window sashes a square offproclaim Vie wonder
ful expansiveness of steam. The exposed side
of the -boiler shop was literally demolished.l
The end of the pattern shop was prostrated like
a house of cards, and a' ton or two of falling
debris crushed in the slate roof ofthe smith shop
beyond the possibility of recognition.
The gable end of the main braiding, which is
the foundry, was shaken down, and in the
whole structure scarce fifty panes of glass re
main unbroken. Over the boiler was a lofty
smoke stack. With the first shock it ascended
high in air, and its fragments - descended into
the pattern shop. The dbnse volume of steam,
mixing with the ashes of the furnaces,'envel
oped every object with a greyish white powder,
as uniformly as though it had been executed by
a whitewasher.
The large windows of St. Alphonsus' church
were wrecked in a bad manner. The gardens
of Mr. Baxter, in Fifth street, were well sprink
led With bricks, and a good deal of damage was
done-to his fine orchard of dwarf fruit trees. A
single-brick went through a second storied win
dow, where it demolished a.handsome piece of
furniture sent home only a day or two before.
A wild rush took place toward the building
when the disaster occurred. A fearful panic
was the first result. The ruins might have
served to illustrate an earthquake in Careens,
nrd among them lay the dead and the wounded.
TJ 1:d1 to the excitement women by doiens
crowded to the spot. They had locked their
houses and come to see what was the fate of
their relatives employed at the foundry. _ A
nmnber of men were slightly, injured, and people
flew first to these,
neglecting the mangled
wretches unable to tell the extent of their in•
juries. '
The Messrs. Meriek soon restored order in
this seette of terror. 'The fire-bells were rung,
and- Mayor Henry, Chief Engineer Lyle and
Police Lieutenants Henderson and Goldy came
to the spot. These two Lieutenants took
*ergo of the police Arrangements, and con
,ancled matters in a creditable manner. '
Zee .franidin' tlepositorp, 1441 13, 1864.
Six poor fellows were killed outrighttwo
from the explosion and four from the falling de
bris. Two others died afterwards from inter
nal injuries.
In addition nine others were sent to the hos
pital, one of whom has since gone to his own
home, slightly wounded; and of the remaining)
eight, six are seriously and two dangerously -1
hurt.
The most exaggerated reports prevailed in
the upper part of the city. The stories grew
as they circulated, and the nnmber.•tf kilted
was stated as fifty, with eighty more buried
under the ruins. The engineer, being 'killed,
there is no probability of any certain informa
tion as to the exact cause of the accident. The
calamity suspends the operations of thefoundry
until damages can be repaired.• The firm had
been making government work, and the suspen
sion of operations in an establishment of such
extent wtll be somewhat embarrassing.
THE PROTECTRESS OeCOLZSTREIGHT.—.
The Baltimore American of the 6th inst. says:
"There has arrived in Baltimore re:refugee
from Richmond, Mrs. Lucy A. Rice. Her case
is out - , greatly deserving of public svutpatby mid
liberal aid. Mrs. Rice, despite the tyranny
that reigns at Richmond, has always preserved
her loyalty to the Union, and evinced a warm
:sympathy for the suffering of our officers and
men who have been imprisoned in Richmond.
Her house was, for nine days, the hiding place
and refuge of Col. Streight, - Maj. B. B. AlcDon
ald, and another officer, after they escaped from
Libby Prison, and were awaiting an opportunity
to get out of the city. In secreting them, and
providing for their wants during those nine
days, while the whole city NVIDS being searched
for them, Mrs. Rice subjected herself to a risk
that eau only be comprehended by those who
understand the vindictiveness of the Richmond
authorities and the extreme pains and penalties
they would have visited upon any one aiding
Our officers, especially Col. Streight. in making
• their escape. Mrs. Rice, however, accepted all
this riskomd she brings with her letters from
Col. &might and Maj. McDonald, in which
they warmly acknowledge her services.
Mrs. Rice has reached our linesi» a destitute
-condition. She has been forced to uhandou all
she possessed in Richmond; while her remain
ing means have been exhausted bythe expenses
incurred in reaching enq lines.
--Adviees of the 29th ultimo, from our fleet
off Mobile; state , that the Rebel rain Tennessee
was struck by a squall; while lyingnear Grant's
Pas§, causing her to keel over and sink. Noth
ing but about twb feet of her smoke-stack re
mained visible. ' Her armami . nit will prove a
heavy loss to the Rebels. It consisted of six
100-pounder rifled Parrots, and nearly as Malik
smaller pieces. All was well with our fleet,
though they hovel s:1 some very bad weather.
