Growing ApPLE TREEs.-The first
few years of the life of an apple tree is
the most important period for exercis-
ing care and diligence in regard to
pruning. A well known pomologist
once said that he could grow a model
apple orchard and never prune with
any other instrument than jack, knife.
He would begin with the tree as soon
as it was taken from the nursery, and
would at once begin to form the future
top. Then is the time to avoid crotch
es, which will be almost sure to split in
after years, and to begin at the top at
the right height aud in the proper
shape. One is apt to begin at the top
too low ; it looks higher on asmall tree
than on large one. 1t may not be
desirable for the general grower to un.
dertake to do all his pruning by means
of knife, but he can always use it to
good advantage. Excessive pruning
OF large trees should always be avoid

THE BosToN EXHIBITION.

The secretary of the Hawaiian Commission
for the Boston Exhibition returned to Homo
lulu last Saturday after trip through Hawaii.
He has been very kindly received by all the
planters and mill owners on that island, who
cordially entered into the idea of being repre-
sented at Boston, and promised to forward
either to the government or to the Planters
Labor and Supply Company samples of their
sugar, soils, molasses and cane.
With reference to the cane to be forwarded
to Boston, Secretary auckland suggests to ex-
hibtors that it can be preserved sweet for six
or even twelve months, by applying two coat
ings OF tar and bagging alternately; these would,
Of course, be removed before the exhibition
opens.
In addition to the sugar exhibit, there will
be forwarded from Hawaii many of our forest
woods, some roots, herbs and moses, that are
used incidentally by the natives, or are known
to possess poisonous properties being
antidotes to other poisons; also specimens Of the
pulu used commercially, as ii grows on the
fern samples of tobacco, cotton, castor oil
plant, etc.
Mr.. Buckland made circuit of the whole
island, starting from Mahukona and finishing
in Kona. In all the districts, he was enabled
to inspect the mills and plantations, obtaining
many valuable statistics for use at the exhibi
ton; of the cane crops, he speaks most highly
of those at Kukuihaele, lIilo and Kau districts
where more attention seems to be paid to it,
cultivation. He has also been careful to note
what parts Of that island might be utilized fol
other purposes, such as growing coffee, cocoa
rice, etc, the best locality for stock raising
for sheep and cattle, the nature of the soil, tn,
