Summer Pruning or Punching.

There Is DO one point IN horticulture
about which there has been more discus
sion than that Of sumner pruning, and
those who edvocate. ard hose who con-

Of the branch are pinched back to three

have been pinched, nip them back to two

The formation of fruit buds upon dwarf
pears and apples is FASTENED by pinching.

That our Horticultural shows, on the
whole. do a great deal of good, we do
not doubt; that the system Of Offering
prizes for the best-meaning usually the
largest-specimen Of this and that, with
out regard 10 the way in which it vas
produced, tends much TO the advance
ment Of general horticulture, we very
strongly doubt. A glance at the list of
prize takers viii show that year after
year certain persons are sure 10 take the
prize for certain things. Those whode-
vote themselves to growing special fruits
and flowers will. Of course, attain greater
perfection than the novice, bat the novice
does not know that the fruits, ETC., which
have carried of the prize that he hoped
to gain were prepared long beforehand
for the exhibition. Prizes are offered,
and people who know how, set them
selves al work 10 win them. Il is mainly
a trial between experts. and as a general
thing the amature or commercial %cultiva-
tor has no chance. An illustration of
preparing for the exhibition occurred
within our knowledge VT boys, 10 and
- years old, saw the schedule of a fair,
and decided to try, one for the premium
on beets, and the other for that on carrots.
A few plants of each were assigned
to The boys; they gave them plenty Of
room, fed them with liquid manure, and
tended them daily. The consequence
was that the premiums for the three
best beets'' and "three best carrots
were awarded these boys. 10 the exclu-
sion of those who had probably grown an
acre OF more Of either, and selected the
best Of their produce. Now. what these
boys did is what must be done by any one
who complies for prIzes-he must pre-
pare for The exhibition. If it is for the
best quart Of strawberries, F" take a row
that should yield a bushel, and after the
fruit has set and is large enough to show
whether it IS perfect, pick off all but two
or three berries TO a stem. Mulch the
plants water them, coax them with liq
md mapure, and if the berries are ripen.
ing up too soon, put up a cloth to shade
them. Doubtless a quart of enormous
berries Will result, that will take the
prize. The committee will ask no CUES.
tions, perhaps not to taste Of the watery,
favoTless monsters, but the growers vii

If ~contending for the prize Of squashes
grow but one squash to the vine, feed !
and water It, and a prize squash will re-
suit. The prize for Dahlias. and roses
and other flowers, are obtained in a sim.
liar manner Pot plants are often ''gar
nished, that is, the plant, whether frui
or flowers, Is made to appear more prolific
by skiliful attaching branches of fruit o.
flowers. We mention this practice, no
to commend it, but to warn committee
that it is done. So far as these decis
ions show what manuring, watering, thin
ming: and high culture generally, will do
they are in hat respect we'll, but so ia
as indicating what may be done in gen
eral culture, they are useless.

Town and Local Agricultural So.
CletieS,

Local Agricultural Clubs, we believe,
are quite largely on the increase. There
are good reasons for the establishment
of these societies. They do not, of ne
cessIiy, and should never interfere with
the County and State Societies. The
local society has a good work to do. in
bringing together neigbbors with their
products. There can be no doubt that a
much larger number VIII become inter-
ested in improved husbandry through
these than through the larger societies.
Meetings and exhibitions should be ar.
ranged for different seasons, not for the
autumn alone. Spring exhibitions for
the sale and exchange Of seeds would be
productive Of much good. Sheep-shear-
ing festivals, milking trials, implement
tests, and other meetings, might be &C.
caslons of great Utility and interests. 4
fall exhibition at the town centre will
draw out a full representation of every
thing within the borders of the town.
Men who have fine cattle can take them
20 the exhibition without much exposure
OF the animals, or much pecuniary loss.
They may also be brought back to their
own quarters at night. These tow fairs
usually draw out a very good representa-
ton Of all farm products, and it is not
improbable that they may gradually
work into periodical markets for the ex-
change and sale of grain, stock, fruits,
vegetables, etc. Such fairs are of very
great advantage in England, and we can
see no good reason why they would moi
mako e great saving Of tine in the ex.
change of products, prevent speculation
regulate prices, give the farmer a faireI
reward for bis labor, and make provis.
ions cheaper to the consumers.-Hmeri

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Let Us Protect Ourselves.


The physical structure of the strongest human
being is vulnerable everywhere. Our bodies are
endowed by nature with certain negative power
which protects them. to some extent from unyhole-
some influences; but this protection is imperfeet.
and cannot be safely relied on in unhealthy resions
or under circumstances of more than ordinary dam
ger Therefore. it is wisdom; it is prudence il is
common sense to provide against such contingent
cies. by tsking an ANTIDoTE IN ADVANCE in other
words. by fortifying the system with HOSTET-
TER'S STOMACH BITTERS-the most complete
protective against all the epidemic and en- iemic
maladies that has ever been administered in any
country. As remedy for Dyspepsia. there is no
medicine that will compare with it. Whoever suf-
fers the pangs of indigestion anywhere the face
of the earth where HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BlTTERS can be procured. does soyoluntarily: for,
as surely truth exists this invaluable TONIC and
Alternative would restore his disordered stomach
to healthy condition. To the nervous it is also
especially recommended, and in cases of confirmed
constipation it also affords speedy and permanent
relief.
In all cases of fever and ague the BITTERS is
more potent than any amount of quinine, while the
most dangerous of bilious fever yield to its
wonderful properties. Those who have tried the
medicine will never another. for any of the ALL
ments which the HOSTETTER BITTERS profess
es to subiue. To those who have not made the ex-
pertinent We cordially recommend an early applica-
tion to the B1TTERS whenever they are stricken
BY sease of the digestive organs.

one hundred thousand dollars, goes un-
whipt of justice.
The $4,000 to furnish the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum has been spent in furniture.
such as would better suit for the imperial
palace in France or the palace of the Eng
lish Queen at Windsor-was purchased by
Republican officials for the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum, at enormous prices, while
the people of the State are groaning under
heavy and urjust taxation. The same
Legislature appropriated $l50,000 for the
purchase of site and the erection of new
Lunatic Asylum at Athens. After the site
was purchased and the work commenced,
it was found that the Republican officials,
charged with the expenditure of the money,
had purchased ground, the title of which
was defective, and the Democratic Legisla-
ture last winter ordered the work to be
stopped, the money to remain in the Treas
ury until the facts were investigated.
We said that the Legislature of last win
ter, although it will be seen that special
care was taken of the charitable institu-
of the State, reduced the appropriations
half million dollars, thereby reducing
the taxes of the people that amount.
The former Legislature, Republican by
two-thirds majority in both branches,
not only appropriated s5O0,OOO more than
the Legislature of last winter found to be
necessary, but in addition it took money
raised by taxes for other purposes, in vio-
lation of the letter and spirit of the Consti-
tuition. Thus to pay the interest on the pub
lie debt and to carry on the State Govern
ment, notwithstanding the large amount
raised by taxation (s5OO,OOO more than the
present year, eight hundred thousand dol
lars were taken from the Soldiers Relief
Fund, and an amount from the Common
School fund,sufficient to raise the sum total
thus stolen, to near one million dollars
which amount added to the appropriation
by the last Negro Suffrage Legislature
shows saving of near one million five
hundredthousaud dollars by the Legisla-
tnre and legislation of last winter.
In the language of the Journal, we con-
clude by saying, "Such is Democratic Re-
| trenchment" When that sheet, or the
Cincinnati Commercial wishes another hon.
| lily on this subject, please give US due no.
tice, and we will again hoist the engineer
with his own petard. 10 5-.
