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

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.

Ail Absent-Minded Barber.
"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.

The second dose eased me so much that I
slept two hours , something I had not done for
two months. Before I had used used five bot
tles , I was well and at work wi hard as any
man could , for over three weeks ; but I worked
too hard for my strength , and taking a hard
cold , I was taken with the most acute and
painful rheumatism all through my system
that ever was known.
"I called the doctors again , and after several
weeks they left me a cripple on crutches for
life , as they said. I met a iriend and told him
my case , a'nd lie said Hop lUtters had cured
him and would euro me. I poohcd at him. but
he was sp earnest I was induced to use them
again.
In less than four weeks I threw away my
crutches and went to work lightly and kept on
using the bitters for five weeks , until I became
as well as any man living , and have been so for
six years since.
It has also cured my wife , who had been sick
for years ; and kept her and my children well
and healthy with from two to three bottles per
year. Therq is no need to be sick at all if <
these bitters are used.
