PRUNING IN AUGUsT.-The German
town Telegraph, in an article on pruning
apple trees, makes the following state
ment, which is published for the benefit
Of those who have orchards to take care
Of Most Of our orchards have been badly
managed, as their appearance and condi-
tion show. Generally they have been
pruned in the spring, time now consid-
cred injurious to the trees :-"Here at tbe
North, We have no class of people more
successful with orchards than the United
Society, or Shakers. They consider their
trees as organized productions, capable of
being improved, by proper care, and in
jured by neglect and Encouragement. OF
course, they are careful to see them fed
with proper diet and in all respects dealt
with AS things Of vegetable, life, having
constitutions to be protected and preser-
we'd as they should be. We were passing
through their village at Mount Lebanon,
New York, last August, and found them
engaged in pruning some beautiful apple
trees by the wayside. The novelty,t to us,of
seeing pruning performed at this busy
season, induced us to Inquire why it was
done. The reason given us was, that at
that season the sap was thick, and of
course would not run to waste and that.if
pruned then,a healing process would COM
mence, which would eventually cover the
wounds and protect the tree from all
damage through cutting off branches. In
subsequent visit to the Society, we were
invited into some of the orchards. which
had for years been subject to this system
OF pruning, and it was luxury to see
their healthy trees, free from the wounds
OF iWudiclous pruning, and, in some in
stances with scarcely a scar to show the
operation had been performed
The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1869-08-24

IL we knew the woe and heartache,
Waiting for us down the road,
If our lips could taste the NORWOOD,
If our backs could feel tho load
Would We waste to-day in wishing
For time that no'er can bo
Would we wait in such impotence
For our ships to come from sea
If we knew tho baby fingers
Pressed against the .window-pano,
Would be cold md stiff to-morrow-
Never trouble us again
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch tho frown spon our brow
Would the prints of rosy fingers
Nex us then as they do now?
All, these little ico-cold fingers,
How they point the memories bnek
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our backward track
How these little hands remind us
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns-but roses
For our renping by-and-by
Strange we never prize tho music,
Till the swost-voiced birds has flown
Strange that we should slight tho violots
Till the lovely flowers arc gone
Strange that summer skos and sunshine
Nevor seem one-half so fair
As when winters snowy pinions
Shake thoir white down in tho mir.
Lips, from which tho seal of silence
None but God con roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty
As adorns the mouth to-dny
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume
Come to us in swooter accents
Through the portals of tho tomb.
Lot us gather up the sunbenms
Lying all along our path
Let us keep the wheat and roses
Casting out the thorns and chat
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessing Of to-day
With patient hand removing
All tho brars from out tho way.

WHAT THE FARMER Musr Kyow.-The
farmer, like the business man, must know
what he is doing; he must have some pref
ty decided ideas of what he is to ac-
compllsh-in fact,he must calculate it be-
fore hand
lie must know his soil that of each lot :
not only the top, but the subsoil.
lie must also know what grain and
grasses are adapted to each
lie must know when is the best time to
work them whether they need summer
following.
lie must know the condition in which
ground must be plowcd, 50 that it be not
too wet or too dry
lie must know that some grains require
earlier sowing than others, and what
those grains are.
lie must know how to put them in.
lie must know that it pays to have
machinery to aid him, as well as muscle.
lie must know about stock and man
IRE, and the cultivation of trees and
small fruits, and many other things, in a
word, he must know what experienced,
observing farmers know to be sure of sue
ccss. Then he he will not guess, will
not run such risks

MEssRs. EDIToRs Presuming your
highly interesting paper has as yet received
no message from the north eastern corner
OF old Hartford, shall endeavor to inform
you of the news in general.
Farmers have reaped bountiful harvest
and sowed good seed, expecting to reap
again the rewards of their labor. They
have also stored their cellars with rich
fruits and delicious wines and cider; hence
they will have many merry toast around
the family firesides, while the bleak winds
of December whistle through the leahess
Gins, under whose shady boughs the JOYOUS
shouts of childhood will, in the sunny NAV,
again reverberate, and the lover WOO the
object of his happier hours.
Our farmers are improving the pres
ent leisure season, by attending the
fairs in different localities-many having
honored the officials of York county, (Pa)
Agricultural Society by their presence
among whom were DR.. Ramsey, Jr., and
some of the bellies and queens of our COM
munity. The queen of the Bel Air Tourna-
ment, Miss Annie Morgan, received very
handsome and valuable present.
The knights ofPy lesville Tournament and
several Others, are preparing for fitting
exhibition, about the last of this month.
They met on Saturday last, for the pur-
pose of practicing-among whom were
DIR. Bardwell, Alexander Ramsay, II. G.
Ramsay, Jr., and some others whose names |
have not learned. These gentlemen ap-
peared in the old style of going for fun
and comfort; and to the amusement of the
ladies present, they exhibited in their snow
white bodices and home-spun pantaloons.
However, they are gallant gentlemen, and |
shall avail myself of this opportunity of
rendering to them my most approved COM
pliments.
Mr. George w. Smith has opened gro

FINE VEGETABLEs.-Mr. VIM. Wann left
at our office beet raised by him this year
on the farm of JAS Farnandis, Esq, near this
place, that measures thirty-threc inches in
circumference and weighs sixteen pounds
decidedly the largest we have ever seen OF
"heard tell Of" ....
Mr.. Patrick Cronin, however, is ahead in
the cabbage line, as Mr.. Wann beats him on
beets. The former raised, in Hon. S. Archer's
garden, a drumhead cabbage, four feet in d.
ameter, which weighed twenty-three and a
half pounds. This enormous vegetable was
served up by Mr.. Hugh Rogers, at the Far
mers' and Mechanics Hotel, in the most APP
proved style, and enjoyed by many of his
customers.
Mr.. Patrick Clark. residing on Mr.. William
Woolsey's farm, near Darlington, comes in on
the potato line, and runs his competitors a
hard race. He raised this year eighty bushels
of Monitor potatoes, and each potato raised,
we are told, will average nearly pound in
weight Had our agricultural fair been
held this year, we think we would have had
