Prune Fruit Trees Now.

Not excessive pruning, and indiscriminate
cutting and slashing after the practice of the
newly arrived Englishman, who was making
openings "to let the hair in" but more or
less pruning must needs be done, especially
in orchards which have not received proper
care in former years. If fruit trees are prop
erly trained from the time they leave the
nursery until they arrive at maturity, COM
mon pruning knife will be the only imple-
ment needed, except in accidental splitting
down of branches. But taking things as we
find them-with the cross-growth chatting
the bark, compact and too crowded head,
limbs already beginning to decay--there are
branches from three to four inches in dame
ter which must needs be removed for the fu-
ture best interests of the orchard. a.... FL
To doctor such an orchard we would, du-
ring the latter part of July or early in Au-
gust, take light ladder, narrow fine tooth
ed saw, sharp pruning knife and pot of
shellac dissolved in alcohol with a painting
brush in it, and commence operations. 1t is
useless to attempt to make the full grown
orchard, whose pruning has been neglected,
look like the well formed, evenly balanced
and short jointed trees which have yearly re-
ceived a judicious cutting-out and shorten
ing-in, from the time they were first planted.
This is out of the question. In cases of
doubtful expediency, we would give the tree
the benefit of the doubt by leaving the
branch, or in other words we would leave a
thicker top rather than make too many
wounds to heal over. ....... ...... .....-... ..
Select limb, saw it off close to the body
ofthe tree or large branch, being careful that
its weight does not cause it to split down
just before falling. Pare the wound smooth
and coat with the shellac to keep out water
and prevent sun-checking. When done du-
ring this month duly the latter growth of
the season will commence to roll over the
smooth cut and in few years the new wood
will unite upon the two sides and scarcely
leave scar. If an Ak is used, leaving a
stub of some six inches in length, the new
growth fails to cover this cut; the stub be-
gins to rot and let in water, which still fur
ther hastens decay even towards the heart
of the tree.-Anerican Agriculturalist.

SpurseOn and the Yankee.

A gentleman, who has recently returned
from England, relates an anecdote of Mr..
Spurgeon that is too good to be lost. The
great preacher had for his theme one day the
power of individual personal effort; and to
illustrate it, he told a story of a yankee"
as Mr.. Spurgeon called him, who boasted
that he could whip the entire English nation
himself. "And how could you do it?" said
a y-stander. "Why," said the Yankee, 81
would take one Englishman at time;
would kill him, and then would take an
other; and so would 60 along till 1 had
whipped the entire nation"
AT the close of the sermon, Mr.. Spurgeon,
the relator of the anecdote, and several friends
retired into the vestry. Soon there came in
a tall, lean, long-faced, solemn looking man,
who hailed from the State of Maine. He
presented to Mr.. Spurgeon letter of intro
duction, and was welcomed by the preacher.
Soon Mr.. Spurgeon addressed the newcomer
by saying:
w Shs xhnSAfStAh IL iiSIlIy lOW YOU
like my Illustration of individual power,
drawn from your countryman
"Oh," said the member from the Pine
Tree State, 81 was well pleased with it, be-
cause it was so true;" and this was said
with the utmost solemnity of tone and grav-
ity of manner.
$50 true, so true!" said Mr.. s.; what do
you mean, sir?"
81 know Yankee that did that once"
was the reply.
"And what was his name?" Mr. Spur
geon asked-to which the Yankee answered,
"The name, sir, was George Washington !;
perhaps you have heard of him."
Mr.. Spurgeon was dumb for moment
He then joined in the hearty laugh, and al
lowed that ''the Yankee" was too much for
him. "

Apostles should do it is not ours to make
sacred history, but to receire it as it is. Had
it been consistent with his plan, Christ could
have converted the whole world in moment,
aud without the aid of Apostles; but We find
that to great extent he acted only by hui
man agencies; employing his supernatural
power, only so far as necessary to the desir-
ed ends. BY supernatural aid they might
have resisted the edge of the axe, and deficd
martyrdom in all its shapes but that aid was
not granted; on the contrary we find Christ
instructing his Apostles, "if they persecute
you in one city, flee (not walk) unto anoti,-
er." Why? To avoid premature martyr
dom, to be sure. In John, Sth, 50; 10th,
80 and 1lth, 81, we find Christ Escaping
from persecution; and in ono case Ire walks
no more in Jewry, "bccausc the Jews sought
to kill him" Why these things were so, is
not given to us to know it is sufficient that
we find the .t;,cts recorded, and VIC have no
right to distort them nicely to prop the ini-
quity of slavery. .......
AS showed in my former series, it was
impossible that polysamy should be sudden
ly abolished, because it would have riven pa.
rents from children; and in other respects,
would have entailed evils Gas would also the
sudden abolition of slavery, teo great to en-
counter, short of miracles; which miracles,
Christ did not in those cases see fit to sup
ply. He left the two to perish by the gold
en- rule, and they did so. For hundreds Of
years, slavery was unknown in Christcn-
dom.
The leper has been, and now is, again up
on us, and it remains for Christianity again
to purge ITSELF and come forth purified, out
of the fire. AREPUBLIcAN.

In Georgia, Judge T., celebrated duelist
who had lost his leg, and who was known to
be dead-shot, challenged Colonel D., gen.
tleman ofgreat humor. The friends tried to
prevent the meeting, but to no effect The
parties met on the ground, when Colonel D.,
was asked ifhe was ready.
No, he replied. r

T.'s second 9 T. taa g-
Why, sir, said Colonel d, have sent my
boy into the woods to hunt bee gum to pu,
my leg in, for l don't intend to give the
Judge any advantage over me- You see he
has a wooden leg. The whole party roareJ
with laughter and the thing was so ridiculous
that it broke up the fight. Colonel ID. was af
terwards told that it would sink his reputa
ton. Hs
Well, he replied, it can't sink me lowe,
than bullet can.

ever troubled the Colonel after that.

Grass, while still green, countains large
amount ofstarch, gum and sugar. The su-
gar is perceived in the sweetish taste Of the
juice; the starch and gum being nearly taste
less, are not so readily precieved. The prin-
cipal nourishins ingredients in all kinds Of
food are starch, gum, sugar, and so notoroge-
NOUS compound. But the starch, gum,
and sugar, are mainly changed into hard in
so hard indisestible woody fibre when grass
full natures. If the ripening process be ar
rested eight or ten days before its compile
ton, and the plant be dried rapidlyl double
or treble the amount Of starch, gum, and SUI
gar will be secured. The same reasoning
holds true all kinds of grain. Every one is
familiar with the sweet taste Of green corn,
wheat in the milk, etc. When the growth
is completed, cut these crops and you save
a considerable amount of rich nutriment
which would otherwise be changed to the
woody fibre of the outer shell. The only
point to be looked to, is, to wait until the
accumulation ofjuices is completed, and then
begin the harvesting at once. The only cx-
ception to this rule is with crops designed
solely for seed; these may well be left to the
natural full ripenins upon the stalk, especi-
ally when the seed is to be kept long.
The proper time for cutting grasses is at
tho moment the seed is set, or Immediately
after the Towering is over. Clover should
be cut as soon as in full bloom.-Anaerican
-Igriculturist.

Of the numerous authorizations we have
nothing to say, as we are only writing of the
pure article, and the unscientifc must de-
pend upon the honesty and business-char-
acter or reputation of the manufacturer more
than on any other source. .....
We find in Bavarian periodical scien-
tiic resume of the effect of hops on beer,
which may prove interesting in this place,
and we have no fear of anything becoming
uninteresting while writing about lager.
Hops contain volatile oil, resinous
matter, bitter principle and tannic acid. II
the beer while being made is boiled too long,
the volatile oil is driven off, and recourse has
been had to distilling the volatile oil from the
hops and adding it separately, but it impaired
disagreeable flavor and prevented clearing.
The resinous matter is not easily soluble in
fresh beer and even the dissolved portion is
often thrown off during fermentation.
The bitter substance of the hops was form
erly considered the most essential compound
but this view is now exploded. The bitter
substance is found to be a strong narcotic
and by drinking beers which contain large
quantities of hops, headaches, dizziness, and
dryness of the mucus membrane are quick.
ly produced.
Ifa greater quantity of malt than ordinari,
ally is used, the beer contains more alcohol
but this is more healthy than predomin.
ance of the bitter. Physicians should always
prohibit bitter beer from all who suffer from
hemorrhoids or incline to dropsy. More than
from two to three pounds of hops should not
be used to one thousand pounds of beer.
The tannic acid of the hops unites with
the resinous matter; and when the beer
cools, both separate, thus facilitating the
clearing.
The brewer should carefully examine the
hops, because if they have been exposed to
dampness and are aged, the tanic acid chan.
ges into gallic acid, which gives to the beer
disgusting sour taste, and it does not COM
bine with the resinous matter and. separates
from the beer, but gives it dark red color

How to Cure Fruit stealers.

One great hindrance to fruit growing, in
the neighborhood of towns, and one of the
greatest annoyances to those who persevere
in its culture, is its exposure to being stolen
One may send to distant nursery for rare
and expensive kind of fruit, may watch over
and nurse it for several years, ard then
when his eyes are gladdened by it's first pro-
ductions, some ragged loafer may enter his
grounds by night and devour them. Nay,
some loafer not ragged, but professedly gen.
teel, may rob him of his treasures, and then
chuckle of their success as "a firstrate joker
And here, we are reminded of method
practiced some years ago by down-caster,
and of which correspondent gave an ac-
count in former volume of this journal. 1t
is worth repeating. "a tall, green-looking
Yankee accosted me at a county fair, having
a fine looking apple in his hand, begged me
to tell its name, if could tasted it-but
shade of Pomona! of all the sour apples I
ever ate, this capped the climax. 1t was
worse than veUuice, or sour plums, or unripe
persimmons. After had regained my COM
posure, ventured to ask what might be his
name for this invaluable fruit. Whereupon,
with sort of satirical smile stealing over his
otherwise sober features, he replied:
"Wal meow, stranger, that's the most use-
full apple on my hull farm. I call it the
Yankee apple, cause it can't be beat; it
looks so good, and vet is so 'tarnal sour, that
| use it only to graft on all the lower limbs
of my apple-trees standing near the road
The upper limbs put to Greetings, Swaars
and such like good apples. Meow, the boys,
seein' sich good-lookin' apples handy, jump
the fence, seeize the fust fair one they can
rech, take one bite, - but, 1 swow, after
one bite, they never wait to take another,
but run right off as fast as legs can carry
em, to Deacon Simmonses orchard, to get
one of his good Baldwins to take the sour
taste out of their mouths. My orchard sar-
tainly has 'orful reputation with the risin'
gineration, and so save my fruit. Meow,
if this ere is not a very useful apple, I'd
like to know what is - Am. Ag.
