ArgAlf CULTIVATION verses Holten POWIR.—Mr.
Smith, of Woolaton, presents the followiec as his con-
clusions on • comparison of steam eultivation with that
by horse-power :—"The gains on
.the aide of steam
culture as carried out by me are: increase of depth of
culture, from 6 inches under horseeultere to from 10
to 12 inches under steam-power culture, at a much lane
cost per seed-bed yearly, from quite £1 per *me under
horse-culture to from 6s. Bd. to 10e. per sere. Under
eteam-eniture a mach cleaner system of working is got
than under horse-power, the former never needing •
fallow, while the latter needs one every fourth year on
our clay soils. The result from all this is • great in-
crease of produce, due first to having all the land in
crop instead of a fourth part of it in fallow yearly, and
the remaining is due to a greater fertility of the whole
—in my own case full 2 qr. per acre yearly on my heavy
clay land, and my land is not exceptional, for the ,toard
of Trade has shown that there are yearly 800,000 acres
et fallow in this country on like soil to my heavy
clay. Those 800,000 acre. mast be multiplied by four
to represent the qusntity of land worked under the
fallow system. This gives 3,200,000 acres of heavy
land especially needing steam•posrer upon it, and if my
data of gain are taken as a basis of calculation, and
spread over this large quantity of acres, there is shown
to be • clear gain of over £12,000,000 a.year, to he had
as gains of the country. Surely each a sum as that is
worth trying for, especially as it can be won without
any increased tenants' capital,lexcepting the little lost
in making the change from one system to the other."
Patntiva Goos AND Cuitamre Buenas.—
The pruning of • bush required its produce gooseberries.
to be consumed in • green state, can best be done by
thinning out the bush, i. e., cutting oat altogether all
Lb. branches that seem to be spent ; then thinning the
firm branehis and shoots, not shortening them, cutting
away all those which cross one another, leaving them
all free. The bills even do not make such havoc on
the bode of these slender shoots as on the stumps when
shortened. A branch or two may be allowed to grow
up in the middle of the bosh; the shoots should be well
thinned out. Thme branches will afford protection to
other parts of the bush, and if not allowed to grow into
such proportion as to suffocate the whole, will be more
profitable than other wise. Let every braneb stand
clear of its neighbour—which is the last remark to make
on pruning a bush. For dessert fruit else and devour
are the chef essentials to ensure. As this can only be
done by the free admission of the sun and air, the
pruner hat it entirely in his hands. I prefer the bushes
te.med dwarf standard., got by cuttings anent 16 inches
long. haring all their buds, with the exception of four
or five nearest the top, out off. These buds when
grown form the hondation of tile hush. Thinning of
that., too, is the best mole of pruning. They should,
however, be kept mote open, and by no Inchixs have
any branches in tho centre of the buth. Cutting the
last year's bearing shoots clean out, and leaving another
set for the ensuing season, is the practice I have found
to answer best. The ottidestr seldom realises the value
which a few Black Currant bushes are celculated to
produce. The fruit of these when ripe is worth from
4d to 81. per quart. Thus a full.grown well managed
tree is worth 2s, per year. Six perch's, growing 35
goodonsert trees, would produoe at that rate, 50a This
must be taken as the maximum of yield, good situation
and soil. Ica, taken into account. The principal part of
pruning of these trees is also thinning. It will readily
be setn on looking at • tree that some branches—
generally those which have borne fruit—are sticky, and
leas vigorous than the others. These should be cut
dowu to the bottom. Some keep their bushes es long
as po.sible to one stem at the bottom ; they look well,
but eventually • branch is wanted, and is supplied from
near the root, and the bush then gets out of shape.
The bottom of the bash is now formed into • kind of
stool, from which as endless supply of shoots will come
up. These, pruned with, a little fore.ight, will give •
supply of shoots to form the bosh when the upper
haunches have exhausted themselves in bearing fruit.
Trees treated thus will live for • long time. The
branches should be kept as thin that the sun can peep
in at summer time, and as the day rolls away have a
look all around. Never shorten the younger shoots,
eicept those you want to form into the bush. These
should be cut to the bud best adapted to that ohject.
The Red and White Current—the former especially—
cottagers would find profitable if well managed. Them
plants bear chiefly on spur.; the pruning is therefore
termed shortening back. Supeosing a good sized bush
is to be pruned, there will be found in the centre a
quantity of useless spray or unripe wood, which ought
first to be cleared awty. Now each branch should be
token and examined to eseertain if it is souni and
heslthy ; if healthy, shorten the young shoot at the
top to six or seven buds; also shorten the side shoots'
which are not strong, to two or three hada Cut out
all strong shoots to one bud; those which are thrbern
out from the spur small, and not more than 3 inches
long, mightbe left entire. Thee. - ill bear the largest
clusters of fruit. Of course care must also be taken
here to keep a supply of branches. This is done by
leaving some shoots at bottom and training them up
gradually, as wanted. The hest shspe for these trees is
that of • goblet, which will ensure plenty of air, and
ptemit the sun to ad freely on all its parts. As to the
time to prune the latter part of October to the end of
November is considered the proper time, but many
defer it until spring on amount of the attacks from the
birds.
