Pruning Fruit Trees.

This part of the round Of business which
farmers should 90 through with yearly, is Of
ten sadly neglected. 1t is strange that 50
profitable part Of the farm as the orchard
should be left uncared for Let us look at
few of the excuses which farmers give for not
attending to this matter
Some say they ho!;eve it is an injury to
fruit tree 10 p. ane il that it is not natural.
Let il be remembered that the tree is not in
natural state, if it were it would be worth
less. Its state is an artificial one and it re-
quires artificial treatment. Corn and pota-
toes WiH not groiD without culture but be-
cause fruit trees teH lire and occasionally
bear crops of indifferent fruit some people
think this sufficient reason for allowing them
to grow and remain in a tangled mass of brush.
Another says it is a good plan to trim trees
1t ought To be done but he cannot get time to
do it. This is an old and threadbare excuse !;
what everybody says when piece of work is
not attended to properly, couldn't get time"
know farmer who allows manure to ac-
eumulate in his barn-yard year after year be-
cause he can not get time to haul it out
he sure of this, a man gets time to do a
thing when he really iraRtS 20 do it ; when he
makes up his mind that he will do it ; and If

Naming the Baby.

great great great grandfather, who came ov-
er in the Mayhower, Tor if not in that getting.
to-be mythical vessel in some other,] reiois.
ed in the euphonious cognomen Of OBADIAH.
pray you, do not let the desire to hand down
family names, lead you to bestow upon your
BOY an'appellation that will be a torment to
him all his days Trained as you will train
him, no regard for his ancestors will be sufT-
cient to deafen his ear to the uneouthness of
such name. Obadiah and Jedediah, and
the other iahs, have done yeoman's service.
Let them rest now in the tomb Of the Can.
ulets. Neither need you in stunning Scyia
fall into Charybds. You need not call him
Clarence Augustus, nor Roderick Angelo
Fitzgerald Napoleon Bonaparte, nor George
Washington. But give your son good,
plain, honest name one that will not be sug-
gestiye of dandyism and romance on one hand
nor overshadow him with its own greatness ON
