Is there any life left in the old North State Con
seroatiue e..
The old North State" has sent about one hun
dred and ten thousand men to the war, CT whom she
has lost about seventy thousand killed or crippled.
But there is life in the old land yet" She will
acquit herself quite as well, if her soil should be
invaded, as South Carolina and Georgia have &C
quilted themselves; and the State that does well
as South Carolina has done during the recent inva-
sion, will need no eulogium. If the secessionists
will all go to the front with Mr.. Robbins, Gen. Sher
man will soon feel that there is life left in the old
North State ,..-,-

Pruning Evergreen Trees.

Another subject connected with evergreens
is pruning There may be great beauty in
what W. call natural look to tree, which
pruning will often destroy There Is a beauty
10 the natural growth OF a tree which no art
can wholly make up. That pruning which
spoils this natural beauty l would strongly
oppose but there is system OF pruning which
favors nature, and brings out development Of
beauty which is rather the perfection OF natu-
raj form than violation OF 1t.
The true beauty Of an evergreen lies in Wig
orous, luxurious growth, and yet not such q
vigorous pushing out as consists in q few strong
branches here and there but thick and full
growth, strong and bushy-fa, as we might
say-not huge mammoth skeleton, remarka-
bic only for its large homes, but well filled with
firm hesh OF healthy hue How to get this
thick and full set growth, aud yet not lnteiete
with the trees vigor, is the real aim and OBJ
jcct OF evergreen pruning.
1t is au easy matter to train young ever
green into a handsome tree. IL is SIMPLY by
pinching out The points Of the young growth
after it has started IN the Spring. They push
out, as you know, points like the ends oil gas
burners, usually IN May and June. The sooner
one can pinch the better as soon as they are
say one md half inches long Will do, then
pinch IF about half an inch. Another bud
will form for a leader near where the point i:
pnched out, and the most pryiDg eye will not
be bic to note in year or twos time, that the
tree has lost its leading bud and IN addition
many new buds will be formed, which will
make next year the bushy shoots that are &c
fill up naked limbs with thick foliage
The chief thing to be remembered IN TIM
is, that you may never pinch out strong sld'
buds, unless the bud of the main central shoo
is pinched on at the same tine. The effect
pinching strong shoots is to weaken them, ant
make weaker unpnched shoots strong. As the
central shoot is also the strongest, ii that Is no
pinched it will only grow stronger, and lnsteet
OF our adding yigor, to the side shoots, the
grow weaker as the central one pushes strongly
away.
Almost oil who fail 10 getting good result
from pruning evergreens, do so from forgetting
this simple rule. To repeat 1t again, neve
trim or stop the size shoots unless the main
leading shoot is cut or piuched back at the sam
time.
But supposng we have q tree already OF con
siderable size, that has been somewhat neglected
and Is not at all the beautiful thick full
branched tree we would like it to be. Th
1roblem is how to bring it to the condition de
sired sull by cutting its head out-no matte
how low down--to within a few inches OF wher
some likely shoot strikes out, which Is to be tie
up 10 the stump to form q leader, and tn
stump, alter year or 80, cut clean away, 8
that the bark can soon grow over and heal tn
wound The side branches can have the prin
cpa ones cut away, and treated in the sam
way or simply by cutting out the centre point
OF all the branching shoots-Ihom0s Mthan

SELECTING A Cow.-lt Is sometimes the case
that the best judges will be deceived. A COW
OF very unpromisog appearance, course IN The
neck, large boned, and second or third rate
milk marks generally, will, now and then, turn
out to be first rate, while another with these
marks largely developed, fine in the head and
neck AID promising every way, will prove unsal'
isaotory. But failure in this case is rare.
Let the head be light the forehead broad, the
horn rather thin and clear, the eye clear and
prominent. the neck thin, and the iorequarters
rather light, the back straight, tho hind quar-
tiers wei developed, wide over the lolns, tho
carcass deep, the udder coming forward and wei
shaped, the skin soft to the touch, leats well
set, not too large or too small, tho tail long and
thin, like a whip.lash. Such COW ought to be
good one. Ploughnda,

Press, invented by MIR. Crane of Glover, II has
numerous advantages, but the principal ones are
these, First, instead Of the fleece being rolled
it is pressed so that the 6beB remain unnjnret
Second, the fleece is brought into the form Of a
snug little bale with the best part outward.
Wool put up with this press is therefore more
convenient Tor transportation and more sfluable
to the ma uiac,urer. which are pretty good rea'
