THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Root Pruning,


Or. Hull, the well known pomologist of
Alton, ILL.,, spoke as follows at the annual
meeting of the American Pathological Society:
II have seen great revolutions in fruit
growing, having been a resident of Illinois
twenty mine years. At first it was declared
that no cultivated fruits could be grown in the
middle and northern parts of the state. But
was determined to grow the finest frnIt or
none, and 1 have succeeded. 1 commenced
root-pruning as an experiment to produce fruits
on rapd-growing tees that did not BEAR not
expecting it would do to continue it any length
OF time; but to my surprise the trees that were
severely root-pruned not only bore the most and
best fruits, but they continued the most
healthy, and stood the severe winter the best.
From this fact 1 studied out the needs of the
tree, and have found out that all trees and
plants store up each year certain amount of
food for specific purpose alone Now we can
direct the forces of any tree so that it will store
up food for fruit production. instead of wood
production, If we wish, and not njure the tree
thereby. Some trees on favorable soil will do
this, while other varieties and other soils tend
to wood growth; in such cases they are so
taxed to force the sap to the ends of the long
Roots that they have not time after making root
growth to return the sap to the buds and form
fruit buds. In such cases, if the root primer
be used in July, the roots shortened, the sap
finds its way to the end of the roots, completes
the root growth, the tree then forms fruit buds
and ripens up all growth before winter sets in,
and is thus enabled to stand the winter unin-
jured, and You get crop of fruit from every
tree that you wish. I have never known this
to fail when tried in July, and trees of any
age may be forced TO bear fruit if desired; but
judicious system of thinning out all sprouts
and diseased branches is equally necessary. By
this system blight in great measure is pre-.
vented, and trees are kept healthy.

whipping Horses

Prof. Wagner says, 81 would caution those
who train or use horses, upon another point,
viz, that of exciting the ill-will of the ANIMAL
Many think they are doing finely, and are
proud of their success in horse training by
means of severe whipping or otherwise rous-
ing and stimulating the passions, and then
from necessity crushing the will through
which the resistance is prompted. No mistake
can be greater than this, and there is nothing
that so fully exhibits the ability, Judgment
and skill of the real horseman as the care dis
played in winning instead of repelling the &C.
ton of the mind. Although it may be neces-
sary to use the whip sometimes, it should al.
ways be used judiciously and great care should
be taken not TO rouse the passions, or excite
will to obstinacy. The legitimate and proper
use of the whip is calculated to operate upon
the sense of fear almost entirely.
The affectionate and better nature must be
appealed to in training horse, as we'll as in
training child. A reproof may be intended
for the good Of the child, but if only the pas
sons are excited, the effect is depraving and
injurious. This is a vital principle, and can be
disregarded in the management of sensitive
and courageous horses only at the risk of spoil
ing them. / have known many horses of
naturally gentle character to be spoiled by
whipping once, and one horse that was made
vicious by being struck with a whip once
while standing in his stall.

POETRY.
Alton Locke to Tom Brown.
A RHYMING LETTER OF THE LATE CHARLES
KINGSLEY.

4 new edition of "Alton Locke" which has
just been published in London, contains me-
moir of the author, written by Thomas Hughes.
Mr.. Hughes pays proper tribute to his dead
friend in his hearty manner; and be prints, for
the first time. rhyming letter written to him
by Kingsley, which the London Spectator
thinks is the most noticeable specimen of true
humor which has ever been printed from his
pen. Kingsleys humor was generally mixed
with sadness, and exhibited through such grim
opponents as, fer instance, the philosophic and
sad-hearted Sandy Mackaye. The letter is a:
follows:
"Come away with me Tom,
Term and talk is done;
My poor lads are reaping,
Busy every one.
Curates mind the parish,
Sweepers mind the court,
Well away to Snowdon
For our ten days snort.
Fish the August evening
I'LL the eve is past,
Whoop like boys at Founders
Fairly played and grassed.
When they cease 10 dimple,
Lunge, and swerye, and leap,
Then up over Siabod
Choose our nest, and sleep.
Up thousand feet, Tom,
Round the lions head,
Find soft stones to leeward,
And make up our bed.
Eat our bread aud bacon,
Smoke the pipe of peace,
And ere we be drowsy,
Give our boots grease.
Homer's heroes did so,
Why not such as we?
what are sheets and servants?
Superiority.
Pray for wives and children
Safe in slumber cured,
Then to chat till midnight
Der this babbling world.
OF the workmen's college,
OF the price of grain,
OF the tree of knowledge,
or the chance of rain;
II Sir A goes Romeward,
Ii Miss b. sings true,
1T the feet comes homeward
If the mare will d.
Anything ana everything
Up there In the sky
Angels understand us,
And no saints are BY.
Down and battle at day-dawn,
rf Tramp from lake to lake,
Washing brain and heart clean
Every step we take.
Leave to Robert Browning,
Beggars, feas and vines;
Leave to mournful Ruskin
Popish Apennines,
Dirty stones of Venice
And his Gas lamps Seven;
We've the stones Of Snowdon
And the lamps of heaven.
Where's the mighty credit
In admiring Alps?
Any goose sees glory
In their snowy scalps'
Leave such signs and wonders
For the dullard brain,
As aesthetic brandy,
Opium and Cayenne;
Give me Bramshill Common
(St. Johns barriers by),
Or the Vale OF Windsor,
Englands golden eye.
Show me life and progress
Beauty, health and man;
Houses fair, trim gardens,
Turn where e'er can.
Tho, we earn our bread, Tom,
BY the dirty pen,
What we can we will be-
Honest Englishmen.
Do the work that's nearest,
Though its dull at whites;
Helping when we meet them,
Lame dogs over stiles;
See in every hedge-row
Marks of angels feet;
Epics in each pebble
Underneath our feet;
Once a-year, like sch0Olboys,
RObin-H ooding 60.
