Pruning Fruit Trees.

What is the object Of pruning trees any
how! One Of the most important objects
Is to improve their shape, to make them
grow as we want them, either taller or
broader and more open, that is to shape
them to our taste. That is thing that is
better done while they are young. and 1t is
Of comparatively little use To attempt to
shape them sfter fhet haze reached large
size. Another objeSt Is to remove dead
limbs. They must be got out Of the way,
as they soon become unsightly and inju-
rious often to the tree itself; at other
times. the object is to improve the quality
of the fruit or TO increase its quantity.
if the branches are too numerous there is
an unnecessary draft on the vitality Of the
tree and the fruit these redundant branches
and others bear is not only smaller but less
fair and attractive than Il would be If such
branches had been seasonably removed.
These diflereut objects are the promi-
nent ones. and the time and mode of prrn-
ing will be governed little by the special
one that leads to It. In the shape of the
tree, for instance we should calculate to
provide facilities for access to the top of
branches, as the tree grows up. Ii is gen
orally better to form the head of an apple
tree rather low, though not so low as TO be
too much in the way Of the team whenever
il becomes necessary 10 cultivate in the
orchard. The higher the trees are the
mar. ba fr,,;, t, ;ptu as al
rule. wheu 1t falls TO the ground. Besides
much more fruit is blown of by the high
winds from tall and upright growing tree
than from one comparatively low and near
the ground. and then the fruit from a
very tall and conical tree cannot be 50
readily plucked by hand, and hence it be-
comes comparatively worthless from La
bility TO injury. IL trees are trained low,
almost every apple can be picked by hand
with little aid OF ladders or steps.
For trimming out small sized limbs and
10 some extent for shaping the tree, the
fall and early part of winter is about the
best season. The tree can be seen and ex-
amined TO better advantage. For remov-
ing dead branches almost anv season Of the
year will do. and there Is no objection 10
doing IL in early spring. For the removal
OF large branches no season is proptious,
but some think they should be cut of when
the tree is in active growth, when il the |
cut is smooth and Immediately cemented
with grating wax, the wound will heal |
over quicker than if made in the fall. But
a. we have said. If man is faithful to his
trees, there will be no occasion for this
severe treatment.- " E. Farmer.

How q Little Land will Keep a Cow

On the first day of June last year COM
menced cutting clover for one COW con-
fined in yard enclosed by high tight
board fence with a stable attached in which
she had been fed. She had no feed but
freshly cut clover from the first OF June to
the fifteenth of October, and all taken from
one-fourth OF an acre OF ground. She has
averaged eighteen quarts Of strained milk
per day, from which my wife has made
eighteen pounds OF butter per week, dur
ing the four and half months. The COW
Is five years old, and cross of the Ayr
shire and Durham.
She has given more milk. more litter,
and OF better quality, than she has ever
done on pasture. On one-cighth of an acre
have raised $50 bushels of sugar beets
and carrots, which with two tons OF hay
will keep her handsomely during the bal
ance OF the year. The labor Of cutting
clover for the COW is les than the driving
her three-fourths Of a mile 10 pasture; be-
sides, the manure saved is quite all item.
In the dairy districts, the usual estimate
is four acres TO the COW. on hay and past
ure system, whereas by soiling and rails
ing roots fve-eights OF an acre is found to
be sufficient will state further, what |
believe from nearly thirty years expert
ence is true, that there is no crop SO yalua-
Bile for soiling as clover, no crop SO many
pounds of which, and of equal value for
milk and butter, can be produced. from al
acre of ground. Sweet corn is a good crop
for late feeding, where clover will not

Clean Culture.

Ne purposely refrain from charging our
readers with neglect, or with any short
cpmngs in the management of their own
affairs; preierring rather TO offer them
practical suggestions which We believe
lead 70 the best practices, and leaving it
wholly with each individual reader 10 adopt
or reject them as his judgment and good
sense shall indicate the better course in his
case. We are. however. so earnest an ad-
yocate of clean culture that we cannot well
withhold the mild accusation that far too
many cultvators allow the weeds 10 choke
their growing crops and drink up the
moisture. and with il the fertilizers which
are needed by the useful plants, and which
would otherwise be appropriated by them.
We have in mind at the present time many
fields seen in our rambles among the faru,-
crs last summer when the dense growth of
weeds overpowered the crops planted and
gained complete possession of the ground.
In other places towering weeds were seen
above the growing corn and roots, luxV-
rating in the rich, DARK soil.
Now it is hardly necessary to add thar
growing weeds is poor economy. The sue
cessful cultiyator will insist on absolute
diam culture. If eternal vigilance is re-
quired, then his vigilance is ever active.
la autumn he has the satisfaction OF find
iuE his lands clean and crops beautiful.
Never allow weeds to get vigorous start.
Hoe early and hoe often. This is the key
10. success in this direction. Now that the
crops are all planted begin to use the hoe
and the cultiyator as soon as the plants are
up-and before if necessary. We have al
ways found ii best TO stir the ground just
defore the weeds make their appearance.
The labor is much less, and is even more
cfiectual than if delayed till the dense mass
of weeds get firmly rooted. Especially is
this practice applicable in root culture.
The labor of hoeing isvery trifiing, when
all that is needed is simply to stir the sur
face of the ground. You can work very
closely to the young plants without in any
way disturbing them. We were quite
amused at the Farmers Convention at
Winthrop, at the quaint manner in which
Mr.. Millett, of Minot, gave expression to
this idea which we would enforce at this
time, of hoeing before the weeds get root
ed. While being catechised about his
method of growing onions, some one asked
him if he did not disturb the onions in
pulling the large weeds. 81 don't null
any large weeds; sometimes pull little
ones" was his prompt reply. To one "a
miIiar with his clean culture and his prac-
tiseiof hoeing early and hoeing often, the
reply was significant aa
Then start the iwheel, hoe among the
root crops and the cultivator among the
corn and potatoes now. 1t is not neces-
sary to wait till they are large enough to
weed with the hand hoe. Then the weeds
too will get to firmly rooted, and will be
hard to kill. And use them often. The
prevailing practise of using the cultivator
only when the hand hoe follows-this is,
once or twice during the entire season-is
not, we are confident the best practice.

CABBAGE WoRMs.-Put ten cents worth
of copperas into sprinkling pot; put on
warm water; let ii stand till cold, and
sprinkle the cabbage at night before the
dew falls. This will do for 100 or l50
heads. Sprinkle the same as you would a
floor to. lay the dust. The dew at night
will wash of the sprinkling water. Sprin-
kle the cabbage twice or three times a
week. Mr.. Soudard raised a hundred this
way last year. and have eaten lsome of
his cabbage, which was nice.-( Cor. Coun-

Give the ground frequent strings till hay
ing time calls to other duties. And after
haying, with hoe ground sharp, and . file
in the pocket to keep it so, go over all
again and cut all weeds that may have out
lived all your former vigilance. Then
when the crops are removed you will have
the satisfaction Of finding the land abso-
letely clean. The plow when 1t Is put
in again will find no roots to prevent
thorough pulverization, and the harrow
will easily smooth all for the moving ma
chine. Then hoe searly and hoe often.-T

ton, without father or mother or other re-
lations, all having died. Many similar in
stances can be mentioned.

TO THE PUBLIC.

THE PAIN-KILLER manufactured by

self a reputation unsurpassed in medicinal
preparations. The unirerSdlty Of the de-
ntdad and surprising feature III the history
of this medicine. The Pain Killer is now
regularly sold in large and steadily increas-
ing quantities, not only to general agents
in every State and Territory of the Union,
and every Province in British America,
to BuenOs Ayres, Brazil, TTaguay, Peru,
Chill other South American States. ~ the
Sanwich Islands, 10 Cuba and other West
India Islands to England and Continen-
tai Europe ; to Mozambique, Madagascar,
Zanzibar, and other African lands to
Australia, and Calcutta, RangOon and
other places in India. 1t has also been
sent TO China, and we doubt if there is ally
foreign port or any inland city in Africa or
Asia, which is frequented by American
and European missionaries, travellers or
traders, into which the Pain Killer has not
been introduced.
The ertent Of its USEFULNESS is another
great feature of this remarkable medicine.
1t is not only the best thing ever known, as
everybody will confess, for bruises, cuts,
burns, &c., but for dysentery or cholera,
or any sort of bowel complaint, it is reme-
dy unsurpassed for efficiency and rapidity
of action. In the great cities of British
India and the West India Islands and
other hot climates, it has become the stand
ard medicine for all such complaints, as well
as dyspepsia, liver complaint, and other
kindred disorders. For coughs and coids,
canker, asthma and rheumatic difficulties,
it has been proved by the most abundant and
most abundant and convincing trials aud
testimony, to be an invaluable medicine
The proprietors are in possession'of letters
from persons of the highest character aud
responsibility, testify in unequivocal terms
to the cures effected aud the satisfactory
results produced, in an endless variety OF
cases by the use of this great medicine.
That the Pain-Kiler is deserving of all its
proprietors claim for ii is amply proved by

THE erection of the Court House, which
cost nearly one hundred thousand dollars,
made some debt, and the Commissioners
have been paying it off every year since
Democrat Of last lccek.
The records show that tax was levied
upon the citizens of this county at the time
the Court House was erected, 20 pay off the
whole cost Of the building in one year,
which every tax payer will remember. We
would like our neighbor to state what was
done with the extra tax levied for that 7ur-
pose. The editor contends, too, that it was
paid off ercry year since. Does he mean by
this that the money ficeced out of the tax
payers by the Ring" erery year since, was
all applied towards paying for the Court
House. If he does, it is a very expensive
building, for there have been enough taxes
paid since that building was erected to
build several more Court Houses, and n
jail in the bargain.
