Friend Baltell will allow me 10 say, as
leave the subject, that sincerely pity him,
IN regard TO the choice he has made OF

Ished were worthy tc be pu: into hands that
would do better mechanical execution. If
his printer, in reply 10 this remark, should
point him to the Telegraph, all have 10

Telegraph are old-whereas friend BatlelPs
are new. And with all this odds against

PRUNING Trees Having had some
experience on this subject, We are IN
duced to offer little counsel at this time,
though It may be late to The cultiva.ors Of
fruIt and Ornamental trees, who engage 10
this important business. There is often
an excess OF pruning, but sometimes not
enough. The greatest mischief, however,
Is that of not taking off the limbs close to
the wood. In consequence of this, pro.
lection or stub is left TO decay and serious
ly injure the branch or trunk of the tree
and the fruit II taken off close, the
wounds will entirely heal over in sea-
son or two, if not very large, without inju

tree will be covered in two or three years
without impairing lis beauty. and without
the least injury to its thrift or productive
ness. We nave been disturbed frequently
when looking at the blunders committed
in pruning trees, such a mighty wise pre-

have been left by ignorant primers. These
gradually rot before the bark is formed
over them, and the decay, like an eating
