Pruning Fruit Trees.

! The rules upon which success in horticul-
ture depends in the latitude Of New York or
even of Boston, are not always safe guides
to practice here in Northern Vermont. under
our hurried summer and long, bitterly cold,
winters. Experience suggests important
notifications of many Of the maxims of the
authorities.
50 with respect to the conclusion of that
correspondent Of the Mar ENGLAND Farmer
quoted in your issue Of Dec. 9th. that the
best time to prune is Immediately after the
fall of the leaf. Generally speaking autumn
is the best time for pruning. and If another
recommendation Of that writer were needed
if all wounds were coqered Though coat of
paint or shellac would hardly sufice,) no
very serious consequences might follow in
ordinary winters even in this re- ion.
But my experience persuades me that fall
pruning is not a safe rule tor the orchards
of this latitude to adopt. There is a mvste-
ri0us life-principle that Is active even in the
alternating tree. Communication between
the branches and the roots must not lone he

Useful Recipes.

To PREVENT NIcE lNJURINC TkEEs IN WIN
TER.-A few years ago saw it mentioned
that the way 70 prevent mice destroying
young fruit trees in winter Is 10 trample the
first snow fallen around the trees. found it
worked well. but inconvientiy, for you have
to renew the process every winter, until the
tree become large and the bark too hard for
the mice TO injurc them. The philosophy Of
this method is, that the snow which rests on
top Of the grass and stuhbe, and arches
thereon SO that tho mice have access to the
trees, is trampled down close to the ground,
so that the passage for the intruder is stop
ped. To accomplish this result, and more
conveniently and probably, / take about one
bushel Of shore sand, or other clear sand. 70
a tree, and spread 1t about six inches high
around each tree. With horse and cart,
fix hundred trees in three hours. This
method has several advantages over the snow
tTamplinE process First, the snow hugs
close to the sand, and needs 10 trampling. as
there Is no grass around the tree, and the
mice find no passage: and this is done 10 fair
weather, without going out stormy days.
Second, the sand is no fertilizer, and will do
for several years, az no grass Will grow upon
it. Third, it Will give the tree more yigor.

some spare day in early summer, they are,
BY the end Of the season, in good part covered
over with new growth. But the work must
be accomplished by the end of the first week
in April. If a limb be cut away after the
buds begin to swell, the sap for long time
oozes out of the wound despite all waxing.
and becoming sour renders the wood with
which it comes in contact diseased, 50 that
it will heal over but slowly, and also black
ens.the bark when it flows down.
1t is my practice to cover all cuts that are
a half inch or more in diameter, and | am
convinced that little labor expended in this
way is many times repaid by the entire alb
sence of dead and decaying spots in the wood
of the trees thus treated. Wounds of less
than that size close well over before fall with
out any attention. For protection against
the weather for live wood nothing is so good
as common grating wax. 1t is perfectly i'm
pervious TO water; is elastic and permanent.
it fills the surface pores Of the wood, so that
the latter does not even change color, and 1t
offers no resistance to the approach of the

efficient as protection; but worse, 1t ap-
peared to act like poison on the growing
ring about the wound. Shellac is harmless,
and does well at first, but may after time
crack in the weather.
The pruning which | have in view, as
write this, relates to the care Of young trees;
the removal of super1uous shoots, which
little summer pinching would have suppress
ed, and the thinning out of snpernumerary
branches, (too apt to be left on young trees,>

it is sometimes necessary 10 remove limb OF

much to be preferred. If sci out in the fall
