Pruning Evergreens.

Pruning evergreens has I'M
dergone a complete revolution
within the past few years. Who
ever heard of the old gardeners
pruning back this class of trees
to. compel them to form dense,
compact round heads1 With
the exception of the old-fash-
Toned box-bush, and holly, no
other species ever felt the knife.
On account of the pine family
proper never showing buds ex-
cept terminal ones, it was tho't
to be simple destruction to cut
off a shoot; and nov not the
least attention is paid to buds
or shoots of any description,
but the tree is sheared into the
proper outline according as the
eye dictates.
There are numerous undevel-
oped buds that are only wait
ing proper condition to- force
them into active growth, and
thus evergreen trees are not on
ly made to assume a regular
outline, but to become very
compact as well. No class of
cone-bearing trees are more
benefited by close pruning than
the arbor vites and the COM
mon hemlock spruce. The diff
ference in these, between the
pruned and the unpruned speci-
mems is SO marked asto enable
the first to command double
the price of the latter in the
nursery row.

/ When education was circum-
scribed, competent and availia-
bic men were scarce, and hence
the country looked to the towns
and cities for political leaders.
Professional men are usually
the best educated, and by eX-
tended acquaintance and unem-
barrassed social intercourse,
have in consequence almost in
variably taken the lead in poll
tics 4 *i* | Then, in all matters
appertaining to Congressional
action, State legislation, or To-
cal matters, why should not the
farmers of the country act uni
tedly? Why should they not
select from their own class rep

Take any neighborhood con-
tanning a live grange, compare
it as it is now with what it was
before the organization of that
grange ; it viii give you some
idea of the influence of the
grange. You will know for a
certainty that the atmosphere
of the grange breeds sturdy in
dependence, intelligent action,
and kindly sympathetic feeling.
Before the organization Of that
grange. who ever heard such
talk of the rights of the farmer,
the prerogatives of the produ-
Ger, the encroachments of COM
binatlons of capital, or the op-
preston ofrailroad monopolies,
as you now hear? Did you ever
hear anything of farmers main
tanning their just rights by uni
ted action2 No. Did you hear
of farmers helping one another
in distress any trying to
strengthen the bond ofcommou
interests that binds them in
friendly relations before the
grange was organized for that
purpose? Did you hear farmers
engaging in public speaking or
writing for the press, to advo-
cate some measure for their
good and advancement? Very
rarely. These and a dozen
other things that you cannot
fail to notice are but the result
of the influence OF the grange.

Grange Notes.

The grange has made the far
mer a thinker; It has made him
a man, demanding his rights
it has enlarged his views it has
developed his talents; aroused
his social nature; made him
better morally; frightened his
life ;-beahtifed his home; in
creased his, income; kept MS
boys and girls on the farm,
given him an honored place
among men and is fast securing
him just rights. Yes, the grange
has a grand influence.
Shall the grange be applied
to its legitimate work of i'm
proving the social and intelec-
tual condition of the farming
class? Enough has been done
to demonstrate the fact that
great good can be accomplish
ed if all work together for the
one grand object. Do not let
the interest lag or little petty
jealousies creep into subordi-
nate oranges. Strive to COM
pete with each other in the le-
climate object of ennobling
manhood and wonlanhood
among yourselves, and let chart
ty be prominent feature among
you. All Patrons must, by this
time, have learned that there is
no excellence without effort,
nothing accomplished without
labor, Every family and every
grange is what its members
