Farmers who own large orchards, usually find it
convenient TO prune during the mild weather of
winter. There are few but have discovered that
good and fair fruit is better grown, when the head
ofthe tree is thinned enough to allow all parts full
chance. Small, smothered leaves, within a dense
mass of brush, can never furnish a good supply of
materials to the swelling fruit Hence, evenly dis
tributed and thrifty Shoots forming well balanced
and handsome head, must be the aim of every or
chardst,
Many discover, after years of neglect that their
trees have become dense, matted, aud scrubby; and
to remedy the defect, the saw and axe are unspar-
lngly applied, and large limbs at once Topped off,
and the trees left naked and disigured The wounds.
being large, must be covered with a waterproof
composition, and long time is required for their
healing.
better way is to begin early, while the trees are
comparatively young, and tie first appearance of
crooked and thick growing shoots to cut them out
with knife or chlsel his, if repeated each VIM
ter where 1t appears to be needed, will preserve the
trees IN good form and condition, far as pruning
is concerned Even where the trees have become
old and need much pruning, it is decidedly better 10
accomplish the desired thinning gradually in sue.
cesslve years, by sparing and evenly distributed
pruning, than to cut in heavily at once In all in
stances, the cutting of very large limbs should be if
practicable avoided.
Some fthe best orchardists in the country never
allow heavier tool to be used in their orchards thu
knife and chisel. The latter, for cutting exped-
tiously such branches as may be at a considerable
height from the ground, avoiding at the same tine
the trouble of handling ladders, and the bruises and
injuries to the bark, caused by ascending the tree,
may be placed Oh the end Of pole, blow of a
mallet at the lower end of which, will quickly separ-
ate closely and smoothly to the tree, any limb an
inch and half i'll diameter.
While the importance pruning is not to be for
gotten, the indispensable necessity Of manurng and
rich and clean cultivation must be constantly borne
in mind. A fertile soil and vigorous growth may TO
great extent compensate for other neglect; but no
cutting nor pruning of the branches can mpart life to
tree which is languishing in hard, sterile, and
neglected soil, overgrown with grass rud weeds.

BRITISH GOLD. Under this title says the Min

precious metal of this country or the products of

esting discovery the manipulation of metalliferous
substances, by which an alloy is produced that is
likely to come into very general use for numerous
articles hitherto manufactured in gilt work, ormou
and other more expensive metals. 1t is mixture in
certain proportions ofcopper tin, zinc, ETC. perfect
y homogeneous, close III texture, highly ducte, rolls

y. 1t can be had of various tnts to represent gold

We have inspected some small articles, pen-cases,
ETC., manufactured from this alloy, and it would in
deed be difficult for the most pracced eve to discoy
er they were not gold, without having recourse to
the acid test or ascertainng the specific gravity.

Mr.. Cobb's position in the profession

in upper Georgia is very high. Thus,
should his attention be exclusively devoted
to the law, in time to come, it is clear that
there is no professional point, how ever
lofty, not within his reach. The people
of his congressional district appear deter
mined that he shall serve them in differ
ent position-for they call for the exertion
of his talents in wider sphere than that
of the legal forum. Having early in life
obtained political fame as Jackson or
Union Democrat, in 1912, Mr.. Cobb
was elected, on a general ticket, to the
Congress of the United States, it being his
first service in any legislative body
Since that time he has been successfully
re-elected-in 1914, 1916, and lS4S.
1t is with heartfelt pleasure that we
come now 10 write of his Congressional
career, replete with features worthily win
ming him the unanimous confidence and
respect of the Democracy of the House
and Senate, without regard to section OF
country, or shade of difference as to prin-
ciples and measures, such as are met with
among the members of every great party
in all legislative bodies.

as We Expected.

In discussing the propriety of erecting
the new county of Conemaugh, the Johns
town Echo is endeavoring to base the
claims of that portion Of the county to be
stricken off from Cambria, upon insults OF
a political character alleged to have been
received at the hands of Ebensburg, and
is trying to pervert our language relative
TO few individuals i'll such manner as
to leave the impression on the minds of
its readers that our remarks were general
in their application. This is not fair. Our
language was intended, as written, to ap-
ply to few individuals, and we are gross
ly deceived in our estimate of the charac-
ter and disposition of our southern friends
if they will make common cause with
those few persons to whom alluded
We have no doubt that the citizens of
Johnstown, generally, are anxious and will
ling to have their borough made a county
seat, if this could be accomplished without
lnJuring others, but We do not believe that
they are disposed to ask such sacrifice
at the hands of the balance of the county .
But it is not our intention at present to dis
cuss the matter. We may in our next
perhaps show the fallacy of some of the
arguments used BIZ the Johnstown papers
III favor of the new county.
