Of peaches are.
In the first place budding is done on

it must be done before the bark sets TO
the wood You must always tell when
the bark Is set without cutting the tree
or limb. If there is a bud set on the
upper end Of shoot the bark Is set, and it
is not worth while to Try to set a bud
but if the leaves are still foaming- the
bark is not set, and budding may be
| done even in October, but | would not
advise that it be done so late, as the buds
are not likely to stand the winter, though
III some cases they do we'll.
| There are various modes Of budding

growing and in the horticultural journals,

| Incorrectly " american Shield Bud
| ding" 1t was first described by Forsyth
in 1902. The only difference between it
and the common ''Shield Budding is
that you leave a small bit of wood under
the bud, while in the other you take it
all out. An incision is made in the
shape Of letter L, then, with the point
of the knife, raise the bark sufficient to
allow the bud to enter between the bark,
and at the top of the Incision, now bud
that is well matured and which has not
more than two leaves, place the knife
| about an eighth of an inch above the bud,
cutting downward, passing the bud about
half an inch, cutting off a little OF the
wood directly under the bud (; slip the
bud in at the tip of the incision, press
downward until the upper end Of the
bud passes the right angle cut of the in
cision, then take a string (woolen yarn
is best), draw the bark together above
the bud, put the string across it, pass
around to the back of the shoot, then to
to the front over the ineision, below the
bud, wrapping two or three times around
and tying firmly. In ten days take it off
and il your bud is alive it Will be green
and tight to the tree. The branch or
shoot to which the bud is attached should
be cut off sin or eight inches above the
bud, then after the bud starts tie it to
the branch, lest the winds break it off.
!. About the first Of June cut that stock
close to the bud, with a downward slope.

Pruning Grape Vines ia Summer

Grape vines are managed in summer
in different ways by different men and
when one has read the various methods OF
summer pruning, published in the agri-
cultural papers, he finds the opinions OF
grape growers so various that he is mere
Iy befogged by them, if he is a novice in
the business. Even the books published
on grape culture are of little value, as
they were written from fifteen to twenty
years ago, and when our ideas on grape
growing were very crude. | will state a
few points that twenty five years eXpe-
rience have proved to me to be correct,
az follows:
l. Thrifty vines, as the Concord,
Hartford Prolific and other vines of very
free growth, should have trellises ten or
twelve feet high, in order to obtain the
greatest amount of fruit, after the vines
have fruited four or five years; ard the
summer pruning should consist liz cut
ting away feeble shoots wherever found,
thus throwing the vitality of the vines
into the stronger canes; which will pro
duce the fruit buds of the next season.
2. Pinching back bearing canes to
within leaf or two of the nearest buches
Is of no benefit to the fruit, as the leaves
of the cane are the lungs of the vines !;
and | claim if the vines be shortened in
at all, it should be done very moderately,
merely stopping the further growth of
canes by pinching them of near their
ends.
3 In no case should the most thrifty
canes be shortened during the summer,
as they will be the canes which bear the
next years fruit.
/. As the fruit begins to turn in color,
do not remove any leaves to expose the
grapes to the sun, they ripen no sooner
by so doing, and the effect of the sun Is
injurious rather than beneficial while the
removal of the leaves actually retards
the ripening of the grapes, by checking
the flow of sap through the canes, which
the leaves regulate according to the re-
quirements of the growing fruit.
). To produce the best fruit, and in
perfection, the small clusters Of grapes,
when the vines set a great deal of fruit,
must be cut or pinched off, leaving but
one bunch generally to each shoot or
cane. Many vines are often so produc-
tive that it is impossible for the roots to
afford full sustenance to the entire crop;
and in such eases | remove about one
half, always leaving the largest punches,
and the result is splendid fruit, while that
on vines not so severed is of much less
value.-Farmers Friend.
