Pruning Apple Trees.

wish to know the best way to trim a
young orchard have one of three hun.
bred trees, sixty.fve of which are grated
in the root, and have been set nine years
Some Of them cover one rod of ground
with the top. How shall ! trim these :?
Shall l cut off the ends Of the branches, or
otherwise ? About one hundred are seed
lings, which commenced to blossom this
year; the remainder are grated trees
some four years, some two years from
the scion. How should they be pruncd
and taken care of? How shall | keep
the bark-licc off them? have some
trees that are very lousy. Will dry
ashes or air-slacked lime, scattered into
the trees when wet, do any good

Remarks.-The true way to prune an
apple tree is to commence upon il as
soon as branch starts in wrong direc.
ton. That is, if it turns in so as to cross
the tree, or if its direction will lead it to
cross other branches, take it off as early
as possible.
On good soil, nearly every apple tree
will throw out more limbs than ought to
grow. The cultivator, therefore, must
see them often during the growing season,
and take away such portions of the
branches, while young, as will leave the
tree sufficiently open to admit light and
air, and to be as evenly balanced as pos.
sible. He cannot do this in one year OF
two, but must bring them into shape il
the course of ten or twelve years. HI
must look at the tree prospectively; have
in his minds eye all the time Just what
shape he would like to see when the tire,
10 fifteen years old.
1t is not common to head in appl,
trees; that is, to cut off the ends Of th,
ends Of the branches. Some of the sid,
shoots Of the branches ought to be takel
out near their extremities, if the tree

ternal influences.

In the first place must disagree with
your correspondent with regard to using
tin cans, and cooking the fruit in tin pans.
Has she never noticed that the acid of
the fruit acts on her tins, and really eats
the tin from the pans and makes the
fruit poisonous? use nothing but glass
jars; if they have glass caps so much the

stand your boiler over the fire, put your
jars in with the caps on loosely, and let
the water boil around the jars until you
are sure tho fruit is all heated through.
OF course peaches, pears, and ounces
take longer time than the small fruits.
When your good judgment tells you they

them from the water, have towel folded

$4,000. These elections in the earlier
part Of the year are significant Of those
