PRINCIPLES OF PRUNING.-Darry, in
his First Garden" rest theory of
pruning of fruit trees on six general
principles
First. The vigor of a tree subjected
on the equal distribution of sap in all
its branches. To accomplish this the
following means are devised to be sue
cessively employed a. Prune the
branches of the most vigorous parts
very short, and those of the weak
parts long. Co. Leave a large guam
tity of fruit on the strong part, and
remove the whole or greater part
from the feeble. CO. Bend the strong
parts and keep the weak erect, as the
more erect the branches are, the great
er will be the flow of sap to the grow
ing parts. This remedy is especially
applied to espalier trees. a. Remove
from the vigorous parts the snperflu-
Gus shoots as early in the season as
possible. 60 Pinch early the soft
Gus parts and as late as possible on the
feeble yarts, except always any shoots
which may be too vigorous for their
position. 6. Lay in the strong shoots
on the %trellis early. and leave the fee
BILE parts loose rs long as possible in
espalier trees.
Second. The sap acts with greater
force. and produces more vigorous
growth on a branch or shoot pruned
short than OF n pruned long hence
the practice of pruning short where
wood branches are desired and long
for fruit branches.

The Iron Ores Of Chatham.

Recently in the City columns of the
San the proposition to make this a
smelling and shipping point for the
iron ores of the upper Cape Fear was
advanced and reasons stated why one
or more large furnaces would pay a
handsome profit. Our purpose to-day
is 10 continue the subject, but to treat
the sub division of mining rather than
that of smelling.
The great iron and coal deposits of
central North Carolina have been
%learnedly described in the regular
official report of Profs. Emmcns and
Kerr, State Biologists and in the
special report of DR.. Genth, of Phila-
delphia. Mr.. Francis, Of Montreal.
has written a very practical o Of
the Ore Hill mine as we'll as OF several
others including the celebrated Buck
horn property, which was operated
during the wal by the Confederate
Government for nitre and iron. Our
space at command to day only admits
of an examination of some one leaainD
mine as the representative of all the
others. We take that of Ore Hill
which Prof. Kerr saws is ssthe most
noted ''iron locality in Chatham" We
have taken Chatham because it has
probably a greater IRON fortune than
any other county in the State.
Let US consider, first, Its location 1t
is situated or a series of high bills
rising from Ephriams creek. The Gulf
on the newly named Cape Fear & Yad
kin railroad, is distant only eleven and
three tenths miles.
Next we note the area of this mine
as 26I acres. We find then, that the
ore is iimonite. There are strong out
crops of its in many places. A number
of surface openings appear, but some
of them are now free of debris. Out
of some of the veins a good deal Of ore
has been taken. Many of the veins are
of considerable extent. The veins
..are numerous and lie at angles with
..tbe meridian and with the horizon.

A HIGH PRICED Fec =

A HIGH PRICED EGG.-In the gov
OF Cherson, Russia, in the bed
OF a river, a peasant found an egg Of
unusual size. 1t is equal to 40 hens
eggs, whereas the ostrich egg is equal
to "a. 1t is of yellowish color. and
being found between the CLAW and
symsum layers, is supposed to Ielono
10 the tertiary formation. The pur.
chaser OF this egg offered it to the I'm
perlal Academy of Sciences, st. Pc
tersburg, for 1000 roubles. The
academy failed to buy it on account of
lack OF means, but asked permission to
take a mould from it. The British
husuem has now bought this UNIQUE
egg, to the grief of the Russian sin
dents Of natural science.

The Pearl Millet is nothing in the
world but the we'll known ''cat tail
millet'' that is so familiar to our South
ern farmers. 1t is a prolific forage.
but there is not much substance to it.
ANY quantity of the seed can he bought
from Mark W. Johnson, of Atlanta,
for 20 cents a pound. something of a
saving over s1.6O a pound. This mil
let can be cut four or five times a year.
The writer has raised it for several
years, having a small patch in drill for
cutting green for cattle.
Now Peter Henderson is making a
good thing out of it. He has, 10y
sharp management, big blowing, and
judicious advertising gotten up a SEN
Sation and a big run on it. It is an
old thing under a new name. 1t is
this sort of clap trap business that
does harm to agriculture. Pearl Mil
let is treated by Mr.. Henderson as a
new forage plant, when it is an old
one. The German Millet is, in every
way superior to it. 50 far as nutrition
is concerned. The cat tail miIlet gets
It's name from it's seed stalks looking
Tx the cat tails that every school boy
is familiar with, as growing on marshy
grounds.
We hope our exchanges will explain
this and all such silly frauds, that
people may not be deluded. The cat
tail millet is a fiar forage plant and
every farmer should have a patch for
green sOiling. But let no one be sim
pie enough to pay Mr.. Henderson his
fancy prices fer seed under
a fancy spurious name when the same
hing under its proper name can be
bought for one-sixth the price.-P7an-

..the exception of ore vein which IS

nosition TO Mr.. Francis, classes the ore
geologically as limonite except one
vein. Mr.. Francis classes the one OF
the whole tract as hematite. AS Prol.
Kerr is our State Geologist The Sun
prefers to follow his classification.
The mine is contiguous to extensive
woods. or rather there is much timber
on the tract itself.
The mine can be worked with little
difficulty. There are numerous out
groupings, and roads abound. There
are a furnace. a foundry, charcoal
houses. a machine shop, considerable
machinery, and several dwellings. The
wonder is that with all these advan-
tapes the mine should be idle. 1t holds

or Occidental hocus-pocus. North
