CHIME CONTINUED.

"You Americans look at our writing
and, because you see no sense in it,
you say at once that we Cinnamon
don't know anything. Perhaps this is
so, but let us see. You have twenty
six letters in your alphabet; we have
over seventy thousand characters
having significance. You write M
double ON and call it moon; but
moon doesn't mean anything; we
make crescent; that means some
thing. If you would make one and
omit the other three letters, you'd be
more nearly correct. So with the
word horse your spelling of it has no
meaning to the person who knows
nothing of the animal. We have a
mark for the head, another for the
neck, then one for the body, one for
the tail. and four for the legs, and
while you are writing Ii, we have the
picture of the animal. Again, you
say good, good. Meaningless again.
Good comes from God. meaning love.
We picture little boy and little
girl clasping hands; that's good. You
spell trouble, trouble; how does
that represent trouble! Our expert
ence has taught us that two old wo-
men can make more disturbance in a
neighborhoed than any other agency !;
so we make the picture of two women
with their tongues tied together; that
means trouble.
You say YOU havea better government
than we have; perhaps you have, but
ours suits us, and we think it a trifle
better than yours. And certainly,
when you consider that you find great
difficulty in managing forty millions
of people, it does not become you to
say that it requires less intelligence to
govern more than eleven times that
number. The truth is, yours is gov
eminent of politicians, while in China,
the officers are men who have been
specially educated for their work
Still we are barbarians and you are
civilized.

PRUNING.

Now when we write for the public
how to prune trees, we have wide
field to fill. We expect criticism from
every tree salesman, and SO, more or
less, from those who send out their
agents.
We will begin with trees set out
this spring. Care should be taken
that all broken or injured limbs of
newly transplanted trees be removed.
Also that the tops should be shortened
in the main branches one-fourth to
two-thirds of the past years growth
while all of the small twigs, or limbs,
be cut cleanly to line of the branch
from which tLey grow. This done
and our rule for planting pursued-as
given in a previous article-no special
care will be needed until one year has
passed: then the trees should be gone
over again. Care in pruning should
now be especially given to shortening
of irregular branches that show a
tendency to destroy the true roundish
upright head; small slender twigs
should be cut away close to the branch
from where they have grown. Do not
leave knot of half an inch pro-
lection, but cut clean and smooth, and
the wound will soon heal.
Trees pruned yearly, judiclously,
without too much of thinning out of
the tops, because our hot suns require
foliage to shade the limbs far more
than in climates of more regular and
even temperature, will rarely require
to have large limb removed. Old
orchards that have been neglected it
is best to go over at the same time.
Do not practice the use of the AK and
leave knot of six inches to either
send out many sprouts or rot and de-
cay, sending its poison into the sap
that goes to form new wood. Use a
pruning saw, and trim all smooth with
a knife; then paint or gum over the
fresh cut.
1t is advocated by many to-day, that
a tree once rightly started, and then
left TO itself, free of pruning, will
most fully develop its sap and come
into bearing more BEAUTIFULLY than
when trained to meet the mind of man.
No knife should be used after the
first three years from transplanting.
Walking through an orchard and see-
ing here and there limb growing too
fast to meet equality in after time of
its associates, just pinch of the fng-
er and thumb, breaking away to bud
the soft wood of the end, is all the
pruning that is required. Nature is
wild and is responsible, like mankind,
but like mankind, she does best with
just gentle check here and there
now and then.

PATENT HORSE SHoE.-0ur attention
has been called to horse shoe invent
ed by Messrs. Cornish & Hunt, of this
place. This shoe has the advantage
of movable and adjustable calks, OBJ
Waiting the necessity of removing the
shoe to sharpen the calks. The shoes
are made of the best malleable iron
and provided with calks having arc
shape dovetails fitting closely in cor
responding grooves in the shoe. The
calks are made of hardened steel or
iron and are fitted to the shoe in such
a manner as to render impossible their
displacement by any action of the
horse. The teamster or the black
smith can easily remove the calks
with hammer and insert new ones.
This invention has been carefully
tested, and the proprietors feel con-
fident that it viii meet the approval
of all who give it trial. Informa-
ton concerning the shoe will be fur
nished on application to Cornish,
Hunt & Green, River Falls, Wis.
