be more severe on your trees because
they require the benefit of the whole
of the foliage while cold weather
lasts. Summer pruning is not ad-

much more difficulty, besides check

if the same amount of fertilizers were

he should write book of his failures
as an example to others. Speaking
of fertilizers, Major Alden said he
had made up his mind never to put
anything in the ground without fer
tilizing, not even stick of cassava.
1t is as necessary TO feed crops as

has to go over too much ground tor

Pruning Orange Trees.

A correspondent OF the Riverside
Press md Horticulturist has this to
say about pruning orange trees i'll
which we coincide in great degree:
Oranges ought never to be pruned
while young except to shape the tu-
ture tree; and from two to three
feet is high enough to start your
lower branches until the tree gets
into bearing, when you can begin to
gradually work your tree up to the
desired height, but in no case to cut
them severely at any lime, as the or
ange is injured by severe pruning.
Oranges do not do well with side
pruning, but as they acquire age they
ought to be gradually pruned inside
until they almost present the appear
ance, to an observer standing on the
ground, of huge umbrella. This
mode of treatment will have a ten
dency TO keep the trees healthy and
clean inside, and do much to prevent
scale and other pests. A casual OBJ
server can easily see that where or.
ange trees have been severely pruned
year after year that they are much
smaller and less thrifty than where
they have been left alone, and your
trees that have been left alone will il
all probability at the present time be
full of blossom buds, while your ovel
pruned trees are not likely to show
fruit buds tor years to come. Iwoult
not be understood as advocating
no pruning, but l would advise prun
ing orange trees very cautiously, ant
where the crchardist is not expert
enced it is much better not TO prun'
at all than to run risk OF throwing
away two or three years growth
while the tree is young.
The time to prune the orange i
when the sap commences to flow il
the spring. Winter pruning is no
advisable, as spring frosts are apt t

First.-Land intended for flax

most suit able. On heavy lands, if
the season is favorable for pulveriz.

fiber will be produced. Poor land
will produce a weak fiber. Upon ro-

however, depends upon the weather
late sowing will often produce
heavy crop. would, however, ad-
wise sowing to be completed before
the last week in April, so as to have
the flax AFRAID by the first OF May.
The best seed is the Dutch seed;
thickly sown it produces finer fiber
than when thinly sown. With good
seed about two and a halt bushels
will SOW an acre. The best chance
for good crop of flax is rain coming
Immediately after the sowing is COM
pleted. Wedding should commence
as soon as the flax is AFRAID, and the
weeds begin to show themselves.
When ready for pulling, the stalks
next the ground will be pale
yellow; good judgment is required
in this matter.
When pulled too early, it will make
a tender and weak fiber, and great
loss in scutching; and when allowed
to get too ripe, will make dry and
coarse flax.
Ii the crop is uneven in length,
keep the long and short separate.
Now come to the most important
operation; the watering or retting.

Bear in mind that flax-water will

be made perfectly sound or water
tight. Never use the same water g

water is always the best. And the
