Pruning at Midsummer.

1t is many years since, from our own expe-
r1ence, we RECOMMENDED people to prune at
to the views OF many eminent horticultirists
At that time it was regarded as bold innova-
ton on established rules; and we often since
seen articles to show that summer pruning
must be wrong. The reasoning by which this is
supported is no doubt very good. 1t does sc en-
by the reasoning we have referred to, that it
ought to be wrong to prune at that season; but
on the other hand we have the evidence Of our
own senses not only that no harm but absolute
goOd resulted from the summer pruning of
trees.
But it seems to be forgotten by many good
people that there are two sides to every story
two sides to winter pruning and two sides to
summer pruning. Few Of these horticultural
operations are unmixed good or unmixed evil.
In any case what we have to accomplish Is to
be gained, sometimes at little expense of good
points-gocd we are after some other object.
by persons whom the whole horticultural CON-
Munity respect, that "winter pruning strength
If one were to deprive a tree Of the whole Of its
foliage this would probably be true enough to
work serious injury. 1t Is on the principle on
which noxious weeds are destroyed. Denuded
of every leaf as fast as one appears, plant is
often killed In one season. But may this not be
different when only few branches are taken
OF? The remaining leaves and branches have
more food at their disposal. What was intended
for thousand branches is now to be divided
among nine hundred. But we are not disposed
to enter into these minute points of physologi-
cal science 1t is enough for practical men to
know that the cutting away Of few branches
has never been known to work any serious In
jury; while the ease with which the wound
heals over, is in striking contrast with the long
time 1t takes winter-Wound to get new coat
of bark over it. We have seen In a vigorous
healthy tree stout branch OF two inches In
diameter taken of, In which the new bark
nearly covered the stump in two years. In
winter the same spot would have been several
years In closing over, and perhaps the parts
would decay first, and thus lay the foundation
OF future disease In the tree. SO we'll is this
known, THAT in many places where winter
pruning is practiced to any great extent, it is
not unusual to have Shellac or some other COM
position ready to paint over the wounds, to
keep out the weather until 1t shall have closed
over by the new bark.
OF course heavy loss of foliage would be
serious loss to tree; but 1t is very rare that
any tree has been so much neglected as to need
tie half or even the fourth OF its branches
taken Off in summer time. But there are in
many cases branches here and there along the
trunks of trees which 1t is an advantage to the
tree to lose; and thinning which may be done in
various ways to advantage, and In such cases
summer pruning viii tell good tale.-[German-

The Care of Ch,ldren,s Hair.

How often the SOFT f1Ossy hair of children Is
seen crtmped, pinched and curled, and nothing
is so Injurious to the ultimate health of the
hair as this sort of treatment. Wee creatures
OF three or four years, and even younger, are
arrayed In curl papers by afYectionate and ad-
mir1ng mothers who are bent upon making the
children charming, and who do not stop to con-
slider how far they may be defeating their own
ends by the action, or how much pain they may
be 1nf1tctfng On the objects OF their fond solicit
tude. An authority On that subject says, "Up
10 tie age Of six or seven children retain what
Is called their baby hair" which Is Injured, not
by cutting. In its soft and delicate
sickness 1t is like the first plumage of young
bird, and is quite different from the harsher
ha which succeeds 1t. II the hair curls nat
uraily 1t lookSicharming dressed In that fash
lon. but putting 1t In papers is sure to injure it
and pull 1t out by the roots. The use OF curling
irons Is still more objectionable anything which
IRENE. and 1t Is to be regretted that mothers
draw SO heavily upon the capital of their child
ren'S hair, instead Of using the yearly tncrels-
Ing interest OF Its beauty and value" One dis
astrouS result arising from the prevalent Gus
tom OF allowing the hair to flow unconf1ned
down the shoulders has been In some cases dis
ease OF the spine or other Ills OF kindred ma
ture. This has been attributed to the heat Of
the hair, when 1t Is thick, and as the hair is a
nOn-cOnductOr the constant warmth of 1t about
the neck and shoulders becomes a weakening
agency that betrays itself in some miserable
form. The scalp Of the head should be always
kept clean. The hair should not be brought in
contact with very sharp comb teeth; it should
be carefully and We'll brushed and loosely coiled
In one OF the becoming fashions that abound at
present. without being injurious to the growth
or beauty OF the hair, or detrimental to the
physical structure in any Way.-[St Louis
