FARM AND HOME.
Pruning The Apple Tree.

Various opinions have been entertained
as to the time and extent of the operation.
Some good cultivators almost entirely
omit pruning-others simply from neg
lect-while many farmers prune too severe
ly, using an axe or saw on large limbs
These extremes should be avoided, and
moderate judicious pruning every year
will be useful in giving the tree the right
form, and giving the fruit the benefit of
the sun and air, and removing limbs which
cross each other, or will soon do SO.
As TO the season, we ali like to use the
pruning knife in the spring, say in March,
April or May. This we may do on small
limbs; we mean very small ones. But if
we prune at that time the limbs, we shall
find an oozing of sap, black stem and de-
caying stump, but If the pruning Is done
during the latter part of February or the
month of March, or in July or August, no
such bad result will follow. The writer
would avoid midwinter, although he once
pruned thoroughly bearing trees during
January without any apparent bad result.
Very large limbs should Re removed, as
such wounds are long time in healing,
but if done the cut surface should be COW
cred with paint.
1t is well in pruning to leave sufficient
shades to the body on the south side of the
tree TO protect it from the sun. With this
object in view, it has been fashionable to
form the heads of apple trees very low,
quiet too low for convenience in cultiya-
ton. We have some trees forming, the
head from one or two feet from the ground,
which we find inconvenient to cultivate.
1t is inconvenient to cultivate or gather
fruit from such trees. The heads of trees
should be just high enough to admit team
to pass under them; when they bear the
limbs will bend to the ground some of
them.
In cutting off limbs, it is a matter of
some importanance that the stumps should
be right, not too long, as the new growth
would not cover it. Nor should it be cut
too close to leave too large a wound. A
small, tiffbucksaw works well in pruning,
and all surfaces more than, say three fourths
of an inch in diameter, should be painted
and then no smoothing of the surface is
necessary.

Enterprise i'm Farming,

We are inclined to think that more far
mers fail in being what they wish TO be-
or in having what they want to have
through want of enterprise than from any
other requisite. In industry and frugality
there is probably no class that EQUALS them
field is seldom wasted in the wine cup or
on the gaming table. They work hard and
long, and scrupulously save their earnings I;
still comparatively few become wealthy,
and with those few the wealth acquired is
ordinarily the work of lifetime.
This comes, we think, chiefly from IA
lack of enteprise-from being over-cautious
about entering into any branch of farming
operations that has not been thoroughly
tried, tested and declared safe. The old
adage, " Nothing ventured, nothing gain
ed" is exemplitied in the lives of ninety
nine out of every hundred tanners. Many
men select farming as an occupation for
the reason that they are too cautious to en-
bark in trade or in any kind of manufac-
ture. They think there is little chance of
losing anything in managing a farm, and
they want be on the safe side.
These are the men who become farm
plodders. They are so highly conservative
that they may be classed as old fogies.
They never plant new variety of seed till
it has been raised so long that il has begun
TO deteriorate. They never venture on
raising new crop till some more enter
prising men have produced enough of it
to supply the market. They hesitated ten
years before they set out "A hop field, and
just as it got ready to bear, the price of hops
went down. These men, if they followed
fishing, would never drop line into a hole
till some one else had caught all the fish !;
or If they were trapping, they would never
set snares or bait traps till the game was
all captured.
A certain degree of caution is good
thing; but ii is quite as bad to have too
much of il as too little. For every farmer
who loses by showing some enterprise in
raising new crops, sowing new varieties of
seed, or branching out in some new line Of
farming, there are n hundred who keep
themselves poor by always turning round
in the same old ruts. II is not TO be OK
pected that all new things will pay in
farming, any more than they do in other
kinds OF business but some of them will
pay, and these will compensate for what
has been lost in experimenting with 9TH
ers. As rule, a man thinks better of him
self, and his neighbor thinks better of him,
If he has the courage and enterprise to
strike boldly out into some new undertake
ing that promises well, even he fails in IT,
than they do IL he sits contentedly down
and only does the things which his father
saw his grandfather dO.-Protrie Farmer.
