Fruit Garden.

Summer pruning fruit trees is yet but
imperfectly understood-many stopping all
shoots Unfortunately. Only those should
be pinched back that seem likely to grow
stronger than others. The object is to get
all 10 grow of one uniform strength. If one
shoot grows stronger than another on a fruit
tree the others will get continually weaker,
and bye and bye worthless Pinching
them off weakens a strong shoot, if done
before it partially hardens; and the new
shoots it is afterwards compelled to put
forth, will be no stronger than these not
pinched back. Except in very few instan-
ces, if due attention were paid to summer
pruning, there would be no occasion at all
for winter pruning.
The now fashionable ..rage'' for heading
off street trees to keep them low for pur-
poses of shade. cannot be accomplished by
the generally practiced spring pruning; but
if they were gone over in spring, before
the vigorous shoots had time to rob the
weaker ones of their due support. and these
luxuriant sprigs taken out, a low branch
ing tree could cheaply and easily be obtain
ed, without deforming the trees as the pres
ent custom does.

How to Carry Flowers.

When sent by post, nothing is better than
wrapping them in oiled paper; when car
ried otherwise a piece of wet sponge fasten
cd inside a wooden box, or layers of wet
brown paper, or wet flnnel as a lining to
the box. or freshly gathered cabbage leaves
with their under side placed next the flow
ers, are unobjectionable. If the box is of
tin, well secured at the lid, then a source
Of constant moisture is less requisite, for
the leaves and flowers themselves will form
an atmosphere of sufficient dampness for
a lime. Another method, which answers
extremely well. when flowers are gathered
in dry wea her, is, as soon as they are cut
10 throw them into a bag like a carpet-bag,
made of macintosh. If the snap of such
an article closes well, the flowers will re-
main fresh all day long in the brOiling sun,
as some botanical travellers well know
The reason why such flowers are preserved
is still the same-the air around them is
damp. Tourists who hunt after wild fOw-
ers, or ferns, should provide themselves
with a bag of this descriptiOn.-Gardener'

GRAPE VINE FLEA BEETLE-The grape
flea has re-appeared, says an exchange. and
should be des royed. This may be done
by crushing with thumb and finger, if no
better way has been discovered. 1t is a
small, dark green bug, with glossy shell,
and may be found on a warm day upon
vines, apparently sucking the oozing sap
near the swelling buds. If not killed, it
eats its way into the centre of the buds as
fast as they shoot forth, and in this way
destroys the fruit germ and the leaves of
the vine. Pass along your t~rellises two or
three times a day. until the marauders are
exterminated. which may be done effectu-
ally by patient attention as suggested. A
sunshiny day is best for their discovery.

WOOL.

He who sends a young. good-woOlcd sheep
to the butcher, is doing his country a wrong.
Sales of such should be made to those who
have none, or to those who can keep a few
more. Sheep should be propagatei and
handled with as mu-h care as if We had
but a few focks in the country. There are
tens of thousands of localities in the West.

There is a strong belief in the minds of
many, that fax is yet to be crowned king
of these realms. There are divers ingen-
ious loyal friends of his laboring night and
day TO place the crown on his head. Most
ancient-in blossom most beautifully blue

tored, when We talk again of faxl When
raised for The seed alone, and year after
year, it has always been as profitable as
wheat. But men will raise wheat, hoping
every year to get twenty-five or thirty bush
els an acre, and they are deludcd Ike buy
ers of lottery tickets. OF fax, Virgil says
it burns the soil but if he lived in these
days, and raised wheat at 90 cents a bush

hint to the farmers that they had better be
thinking of ax-brakes again-of linen
sheets and towels, which last, on an aver
age, as long as a human generation-of tow
pantaloons and shirts, easily dirtied. but
easily washed, and so cool as one walks To
the meadow with a scythe on the shoulder
in the early morning. There have been
more true patriotism and more true love
beneath homespun linen shirts. than beneath
cotton ones, and my opinion is that Yankee
ingenuity will cause linen to reign at the
end of the world the same as at the begin
ming of it. Farmers, by all means raise

ny sheep are kept, continually increases in
value; it is continually impoverished when
grain is raised. The very best part of the
soil of hundreds of thousands of our farms
is annually transported to Europe in the
shape of grain. Much of it is exchanged
for wool, and all of it for what we ought
to hang u heads in shame for not produ-
cling. 1t is desirable, since we are about

Us of this folly. and TO learn us how to be
a self-sustaining nation. And when the
war ends we want to soe this result-we
want to sec a man, on buying a piece of
broadcloth. know that it is made of wool,
and We want to see him hesitate on buying
a piece of cotton cloth, for fear there may
be wool in it. The NEUROLOGICAL story of
the Golden Fleece conveys the idea of the
golden profits of sheep raising.

fruit anywhere in the country which are
not worth more than any ten acres of grain.

lazy farmers, what have you been doing,

Among six millions of people in the West,
forty nine families in fifty are without ap-

How Farmers can make Money.

At a recent meeting of the American In
stitu,e Farmers Club, Scion Robinson read
The following letter from Cairo. H.. dated
April %. 1862:
This age will he called heroic forever
Equally with the soldier will the farmer be
honOred, because he sustains the solder
In every branch of business a slight change
may produce astonishing results. Now,
for the first time in the worlds history. are
farming interests controlled and guided by
educated men.
In a recent number Of the Illinois Far
mer. printed at Springfield by NJ. l.. Dun
lap, Esq, is the most remarkable article
that ever appeared in any agricultural pa
per, or in any publication whatever. It
discusses the question, whether corn at Ic
cents is prottabe for fuel. The conclu-
sion reached is, that coal is the cheapest /;
that at Q cents. corn would be cheapest
but, unless the coal or wood is of first quail
ity, the wife should be at liberty to send to
the corn crib. This will be new to mcst
readers-it is equally new that corn

Nothing more than this i sneeded to show
that we have raised too much grain Most
Of the farmers know it, but every one is
not persuaded what most proftably can be
raised instead. This letter aims to supply
the seeming want. The army fails to take
a fort in a certain way-the plan is chang
ed and it shouts VIGOROUSLY over fallen
batteries and thousands Of captives. In
Ike manner is the farmer to change his
plans-itis for him to conquer in the peace

be, to plough less, to hoe more. 'Hc. far
