Tree Training.

The cutting or saving OF large
branches from trees is an injury that
none ever recover from, although
some endure it better than others.
Our fruit trees have quite enough to
contend against from the violent eli
matte changes to which they are ex-
posed in nearly all the country east
of the Rocky Mountains, without.
their. owner and selfstyled "cultiva-
tor" amputating their limbs-as an
inquiring friend proposes to do" to
make them thrive and bear" A tree
should be pruned as a child is trained.
1t must be treated, when young,
with steady attention, and corrected
before i'll tendencies have hardened
into the actual maturity OF the I'M
yielding wood. 1t does not harm a
child to cut its nails, or even to slap
or pinch it little if the tritling pain
checks its taking further steps into
some bad habit
So with trees and vines We can
stop redundant growth that threatens
to rob or choke bearing shoots, by
pinch or nip of the end on any Sum
mer day but if We go to cutting or
removing leaves, We do as much
harm as If We injure child's vitals.
The tree or plant is the more delicate
of the two i'll one respect its vital
organs are not encased, but are open,
external and unprotected. This will
explain why the orchardist should be
very cautious in cases where total
neglect for years has caused inveter-
ate misgrowth. Any dead branches
should of course be removed; and it
is best, i'll that case, to endeavor to
remove all wood that shows signs of
decay, applying to the wound, az
soon as the surface is dry, some
waterproof coating to prevent stop
page OF sap circulation by drying
from within, or chemical decomposi
ton from admission of air, and not,
as usually explained, to prevent the
entrance of moisture from without.
Beyond this all that can be done,
with due respect to the permanence
of the tree, is thinning of the
shoots, and this is best done with
pruning shears.
When the shoots are crowded, and
many Of them are mere wood-shoots
without spurs, these should be re-
moved first, excepting all such as are
growing in open air and light, where
they can develop healthy, tull-leaved
fruitspurs. When, on the contrary,
there are but very few mere wood
shoots OF last year, but nearly all are
old and set with fruit,spurs, they
should be shortened in, or, if crowd
ed. thinned by nipping off such
smaller branchlets as are too near to-
gether for their leaves to have full
light. When a tree or branch
shows no young wood but an ex cess
OF truit-spurs, it indicates an obstruct-
ed circulation. Either the stem has
been dried, az through wound, Or
the cells have been ruptured by frost.
or clogged in consequence OF over
bearing. In such case, amputation
and the training Of new, healthy
growth from below is the only rene
dy. because decay has set in or, to
use chirurgical term, modification
has taken place In such n case,
violent remedy is demanded by the
presence of lethal disease. - Ncoo

MUSIC IN STONES.

A very interesting and curious exhibition
given by NJ Baudre at Charlier Institute yesterday
afternoon. M Baudre made the accidental discovery
of musical notes in pieces Of flint. and for twenty
four years he has been collecting enough of these
stones to make chromatic scale. He has now
perfected his discovery and has made musical
instrument of the Same general idea tho
harmonicon. but which Is much more powerful.
The stones, which or various sizes and
form, are just he found them. no
artificial aid being brought to bear in adapting
them to this use. The instrument is composed or
iron FRAME along the top of which the stones
suspended by means of stout twine; then. with two
bits OF stone that have resonance, M. Baudre
played variety Of tunes. making nice harmonies
and bringing forth exceedingly sweet tones. The
stones are not regulated by weight as entirely dit
ferent notes weigh just the same; the musical
quality is something given them by nature. Besides
tho stones M. Baudre had d number of bits of wood
about the of old fashioned clothcspin which
he threw the marble floor one at time. and they
produced the regular notes Of the scale with remark
able correctness. The singing stones. however, are
the more interesting of NJ. Baudres discoveries.
