PRUNINa IN WINTER.-Pruning in
winter should be practiced only on har-
dy trees, such as the apple, and it should
be performed 10 moderate extent at a
time ON orchard trees. We never rec
ommend heavy cutting away. 1t is bet
ter to allow a tree TO remain little de-
formed, lob-sided. or dense-headed, for
year or two, till the work can be accom-
plished gradually (These remarks do
not apply to young nursery trees.) A
European eultivator has recently given
the following good directions: I'm saw
ing of limb, set the saw below and
cut part way. and then cut from above to
meet it. This prevents the limb from
tearing away the bark in falling. Or. a
better way,-saw off the limb freely.
leaving stump abOuta foot long Then.
holding this stump in the left hand, cut
of neatly and carefully. Cut as closely
as may be done without making too large
a wound like the skillful surgeon, save
skin. Never leave projecting stump,
which will disdgure the tree many years
before grown over Use sharp tools,
Of the best steel thus saving much la
Dor, leaving smooth face. and cutting
more accurately just where you want TO.
Nothing IS better than one or two coats
Of oil-paint for covering the wound
and il it is ash or slate color, or having
the same shade as the bark, the orchard
will not appear defaced by the operation

Tux AGRICULTURAL HoRsE-TRoT.-
We arc surprised. Upright New Eng
land declares for the horse.trot, as le-
gitimate feature of agricultural exhibit
tions. At the late annual meeting of
the New England Agricultural Society,
a resolution was offered by Mr. Wether-
eli, declaring tests Of speed between
trained horses "as legitimate a part Of
the exhibitions Of an Agricultural Fair,
as the exhibition Of trained draught
horses or working oxen" and that such
tests should be provided for by the soci-
ety's trustees in the list Of premiums.
The resolution was passed. after some
discussion. so that the good old New
England society stands committed TO the
agricultural horse-trot, and is now a
bidder with other societies, for the pat
rOnage Of Jockeys and gamblers
There was no plea Of necessity for
their action. IL has been claimed in
behalf Of trotting at our Western New
York fairs that they could not succeed
without this popular feature and some
good men. really cOndemning races, have
succumbed to the plea, and become parties
70 what they condemned. The New
England fairs have been highly success
full. and without the jockey element.
This is to be introduced now on the ba-
sis Of legitimacy alone. and we wish our
friends much JOY Of their new "legiti-
mate" issne.-Rlrai Home.

THE CAUSE.

The following little item which We Gull
from an Eastern paper, is worth the
attention OF every man in the United
States:
Laugh at oanads as we may. the way her four
per cent. loan was snapped up in London is 4 big
feather in her financial cap.
Why is it that Canada can borrow
money at four per cent. per annum while
the United States have to pay from
twenty-five to thirty per cent. more on
her loans?-lG. H. News.
For two reasons: First, Canada, being
British province and ruled 10 London.
is in measure, dependent on her En-
glish creditors who have the game in
their own hands. Second, The blather-
sixties and political hangers-on who dis.
grace the Republican party have SC
weakened the worlds belief in our good
intentions that it takes all Bristow's best
efforts to negotiate even q trifinR loan,
Ben Butler, Judge Kelley. Wendell
Phillips and such mem, of whom better
things should be expected. have raised
such demorical howl that foreign CAPT
talists hearing it are chary of lending
their money to nation that produces
such political mountebanks and out.
rageous fools. But it may be said how
about the Democratic infationists? In
fiation is such a new feature even in
boosted Democratic principles that as
yet it has but little effect on foreign
credit. 1t is the extravaganza, incom
potency, corruption and venality of thu
present administration and attendant
bummers that has reduced the country
credit TO its present low ebb.
