FABH AND UAEDEN. Practical Suggestions on the Time and Man ner of Pruning Trees Intended for Tim- ber Minor Topics. Prnnlne Timber Trees. Pruning , in its legitimate sense in tlio culture of forests , wiites a cor respondent of The Garden , denotes only the removal of unsightly excres cences or superfluous parts of trees with the view of making the bole grow straighter , higher , and more regular. This , I know , is still a disputed sub ject , some strongly advocating its ne cessity and utility , while others de precate it as useless and injurious. .The truth probably lies between the two extremes , for much may no doubt bo done in assisting nature to rectify defects and to correct deformities , and in adding to the general health , beauty and vigor of the tree. On the other side , it is not less true that many trees are irreparably injured and whole plantations rendered useless by un skillful and indiscriminate pruning and wholesale mutilation. Many authorities agree that pruning is beneficial and essential in promot ing the profitable growth of most hardwood trees' , but this may bo ren dered less necessary in certain situa tions by thick planting and judicious timely thinning. Pruning should commence when the trees are three or four years old , and should be contin ued 'if necessary during the after growth of the tree. No general rules can , however , be laid down on this point which shall equally apply to all circumstances and situations. There is no doubt that much of the success of pruning depends on the manner in " which it is"performed. . Branches which are to be amputated should be - cut off clean , smooth , and close , mak ing the stroke upward , and with a sharp bill , in order that the bough may not splinter and carry away with it portions of the bark irom the bole , which is both dangerous and unsight ly. Although it is generally agreed that one leading shoot should be pre served , it is an erroneous practice to cut away all the side branches at once , and the removal of large boughs should be avoided as far as possible. Although hardwood trees generally derive benefit from pruning , coniferous trees do not admit of being pruned at all , unless under special circumstances , and then only with great care and judgment. The pruning of timber trees has had many warm advocates , especially in Scotland , and no one perhaps has explained the real or imaginary advantages of the system better than Mr. Creo. He says "To manage woods in a proper manner , young trees should be examined well the third year after they are planted , and if more than one leading shoot is found to exist the best should bo se lected and the others shortened to one- half the length of the selected shoot. "This practice of examining the trees should be continued every year : > until they are about fifteen feet , n i > height. These shortenings , howeve'r , must not be confined to superfluous leading shoots , but extend to any branch which is gaining a dispropor tionate ascendency over other branches of the same 3ear's growth. At first , and for some time previous to this stage of the growth of the plantT the shortenings should be more carefully perforiried than is necessary after ward. The process of examining a tree is a simple one ; it is done in a moment by the pruncr casting his cyo over the whole tree and detecting the branches 'which require to be short ened. As a general rule , where it is found that any branch has a greater growth upon it than the leading shoot , it should be shortened by cutting to about half the length of the leader. Writers differ much regarding the best way of cutting off the branches. By some it has been recommended to leave snags that is , to allow a few inches to remain between the stem aud the place where the branch is cut off. This is a bad system. Even granting that trees sufl'er much by bleeding when cut close tt > the stem , that bleeding will soon be prevented by the wound becoming healed. There are two evils attending the practice -leaving snags. In the elm and many other trees of considerable size an effort is made by the tree to cover the snag long before its growth is sufficient to reach the amputated part , and the consequence is that a large knot in the wood is formed , thus defeating one of the principal objects which it is the. business of the pruner to accomplish. But another evil consequent upon this practice , where no effort is made by the tree to cover it until the annual increase of the alburnum circles shall have done , so , is that the snag , in resinous trees in particular , is always liable to Weed until it is healed , or when the snag has lost its vitality it soon becomes liable to rot. From this latter circumstance arises the dan ger of finding large trees , apparently sound when cut down , rotten in the interior. This is frequently the case with snags , even in middle-sized trees. When larjre branches , too , are ampu tated from old trees before the growth of the tree can cover the part it has become rotted , and by explosure to the atmosphere moisture is carried down the pilh of the tree , which com mences the work of decomposition , spreading to other parts of the wood. " Another writer says : The physiolo gy of pruning trees requires looking Into. The woodman in pruning cuts -the branch clean off near the trunk , leaving the concentric rings which usually form round the base of a branch. As growth progresses , the bark gradually grows over the wound till it is quite covered , and it is then supposed to be healed. . The time re quired for this depends "on the size of the branches , butin good-sized branch es it takes years. Meanwhile , the ex posed wound is very apt to collect moisture , and from that and other causes the tissue rots back into the trunk , leaving a hole which may in the-end destroy the wee , and always Injure it more or less. Paint will pre vent decay , but unless it is applied frequently it wears off , the face of the wound cracks , water gets in , and de if- . cay follows. I have examined many tree Tvounds from artificial pruning , and found this to be the result in nu merous instances. Nature prunes in another way and with different results. Decaying branches break oil sooner or later some distance from the trunk. When this happens , nature at onco begins to work * by closing in the bark at the base of the branch , which is finally forced off when the bark meets , if not before. In vigorous trees decay in such a case rarely extends farther " than the base of the" branch , because the projecting pieces afford protection from moisture until the wound is heal ed over , : i3 is often very well shown in the burried knots of sawn-up trees. I had a ramble through a broad belt , of woodland the other day , which , I am assured , the "priming-hook" has never entered , and was impressed by the fact that it had never apparently been missed. The trees are rather crowded , having been planted for sheltering purposes , but , with the ex ception of those at the margin of the belt are remarkably straight and clean although they are all decidu ous showing that the shape of timber trees depend more upon .thinning than prunning. The wind has little power to do injury to sucha plantation , bub many of the lower branches decay and fall off naturally before they get strong , and hence leave no mark on the trunk , because the knots soon heal over. If this were not the case , such a thing as a clean pine or fir-tree would never bo seen" in plantations , for , as a rule , these subjected to no other pruning than nature affords , and which consists in the shedding of so many branches "annually. Within the past few years there have been cut hero large tracts of as fine larch , per haps , as could bo seen , every tree bare of branches to near the top , from na ture's pruning. There was not an un- soifnd trunk among tnem from decayed branches. The same thing happens with deciduous trees under similar conditions : If the trees are judicious ly thinned , the lower branches decay and fall off before they.grow large , and the marks of them disappear in a short time. Minor Topics. Plenty of grass should be given fowls m confinement , in order 10 keep them in good healthy condition. The sheep business , comprising both the wool and mutton produce , is one of the greatest industriesin , the United States. It is claimed that if milk is brought just to the boiling point , then poured immediately into cans and sealed air tight , it will keep for an indefinite period. In hot weather all the xmconsumed food should be frequently swept away from the chicken coops , as it soon sours and acts like poison if taken into the crop. Potash on grape vines has been tried with great success , especially on light soils. It is said to promote "the thrift of the vines and largely increase the yield of the crop. Scotch farmers hold that cut straw is better for the dairy when newly threshed , aud therefore they thresh each day enough fodder for the next day's consumption. At the annual sheep shearing in Vermont the heaviest ram's fleece was twenty-eight pounds thirteen ounces , and the heaviest e\\e's fleece twenty- one pounds eight ounces. It is said that the originator of the Corcord grape has raised over 20,000 seedlings in the past 35 years without finding his ideal grape , and only 21 had desirable qualities. A mistake is frequently , made in over-feeding after lambing and then reducing the supply , whereas the lambs need more milk as they grow larger , and this should be provided for. for.Plants Plants watered with water a few de gress warmer than the temperature of the atmosphere will make a far more vigorous growth , all other conditions being equal , than those to which cold water is applied. Some fruitgrowers claim that alter nate rows of pine and fruit trees pre vent Hie moth snd other destructive insects from injuring the fruit. The strong odor of the pine is obnoxious to a great many kinds of insects. Spreading the manure or fertilizer over the ground broadcast is much better than placing it in hills or rows , as the roots of plants spread out in every direction , and thereby utilize the manure to greater advantage. Early lambs are the most profitable. A cross of the Cotswold and South down lately produced a lamb that dressed twenty-four pounds at two months old. which sold for twenty-two " cents a pounds , a total sum of § 5"28. Lime and salt , mixed with a soft food , is one of the cholera remedies for poultry , but the method generally adopted as the most efficacious is to give each sick fowl a heaping tea- spoonful of hyposulphite of soda in enough vtater to slightly moisten it. Plantain , dandelion and other weeds in a lawn my be destroyed by placing a little sulphuric acid with a stick in the crown of each plant. The acid should be carried in an open-mouthed bottle with a long handle , so that fin gers and clothes are protected. The killing of sheep by dogs is usually done during the night. To guard against dogs the sheep should bo in duced to coine up every evening to be fed inside of a high inclosure.made of palings or wire , with an open shed in the center for protection to the sheep against storms. A gentleman at Germantown , Pa. , who was greatly annoyed by the flock ing of sparrows in large numbers to an ivy which covers one side of his house , got rid of them by sifting half a pound of red pepper down through the vine. The birds atonce left in disgust and bave not returned. Cleanliness is absolutely indispen sable in the dairy. Wash in tepid water every dish , implement or uten sil that comes in contact with milk or its products , then scald in' boiling wa- Ler or steam , rinse in cold water and ex pose to the air and sunshine if possi ble until wanted for use. All kinds of grain may be fed to fowls with benefit , as variety seems to be an advantage. A single kind of grain , with the necessary tmimal and vegetable accompaniment , will secure profit , especially if that grain bo wheat , less so if it be corn , put a va riety of seed is still more profitable , j Spelling Match.

Go to the nearest drug store with a dollar in your hand , and ask for Brown's Iron Bitters. The Confessions of a Smoker. Yes , it is a terrible bondage. It is a slavery. Yes , I inhale the smoke , and then blow it out again. It is very silly , is it not ? I do the same thing with my breath. Away with this useless breath. Some breaths are much pleasanter far , far away. Why do I smoke cigars ? Because I am the biggest , and there fore the cigar cannot help itself. It is an economical habit ; the smoke of the cigar keeps the moths out of my hair. Then I use tobacco to preserve human life. Science tells me that three drops of the oil of tobacco placed upon the tongue of a rattlesnake or a dog will kill either or both of them in a minute. I tremble to think how many times I walked in the very shadow of death be fore I began to carry a plug of tobacco around with me. Now when I meet a * mad dog , I am secure. He may bite me , but 1 will kill him. The cannibal who eats me will dream that night that he got hold of the wrong prescription. Bob Burdctte.

"Yes , " said the proprietor of an up town barber-shop , "Jim was a good workman , but I had to get rid of him. He was too absent-minded and forget ful. One old fellow , with a head like a billiard-ball , he never failed to ask if he didn't want a shampoo. Another bald-headed old chap got mad because Jim insisted upon selling him a bottle of 'Elixir' that was warranted to keep the hair from falling out. He cut one man's ear nearly off while watching a dog fight in the street. Jim didn't mean nothin' wrong , but as I said he was absent-minded. When old Deacon Jones died , the family sent for a barber to shave him , an' I told Jim to go up. It was that job that lost him his situa tion. He did the work all right , no body ever found fault with Jim's work , but when he had put on the finishing touches an' pulled the towel off the poor old deacon , he turned 'round and and shouted 'Next ! ' so that the people heard him a block away. So I told Jim that I guessed I'd have to let him go. ' ' New York Sun. A Country Without Theater or Circus. Everybody on the island of Malta works and slaves at least sixteen hours a day , and he is fortunate , indeed , who counts his weekly stipend at a dollar and a half. There never has been a theatre or a circus or a secular holiday in Malta , and the popular amusement is confined to feast days , when the peo ple congregate in one place and make themselves sick on pink candy. In the evening , when the hot , blistering sun goes down , you can go up to the basin , where the sea leaves a placid pool in the rocks and indulge in the giddy dis sipations of a bath. You can live there in splendor for five dollars a week , but at the end of four years you won't know whether you are a catmarau or blind fish. Washington Republican.
