him to a place near that nov occu-
pied by buzzards, alljgators and
other scavengers which we allow 10
fill long felt want but never, ex-
cept as matter of dire necessity,
bring close to US. It is urged that
the use of pigs flesh as a staple ar
ticle of food entails many lingering
~ e~-,r'ir,as a-;r'- 1aa.h ovid of-
the animal into tie soul of the man
who loves, in this instance, not wise
~ but two well.
However this may be, we are sat
isfed from careful observation that
the use of such fatty meat as pork
in our climate Is less healthy than
that of other animals which is equal
ly cheap, and that the hog can only
be cultivated here with ruinous ex-
pense. Therefore the use OF hogs
flesh for food in Florida is like that
of whiskey-costly aud Injurious al
the same time unless such indul-
gence is kept down to the minimum
point. But in an orange county
like Putnam, under our present law,
he who raises the festive gruhter
compels his neighbors to build fen
ces worth a thousand times the val
ne of the hog, and therefore the an
imal leads a shorc life and is addict
ed to mysterious disappearances
which never create a sensation cX-
cept for the amusement Of our sol
emn grand jurors.
To those who love hams, sau-
sages and juicy ribs, we can only
say that Indulgence is thought dan
gerous by such competent authori-
ties as Don Mcleod OF the Tallahas-
sean; we reave the farmer who
would occupy his time with porcjnc
pets to the tcndt. mercicS OF his
neighborS; but there is one species
of the same family for ~ hose benefit
we have sharpcued our pencil be
fore, and now gladly do SO again.
Unlike his brethren he requires no
petting to ensure his appearance; he
is born, like Minerva, full armed,
and he saves trouble by coming
without waiting for call He has
not yet been claSscd in the books,
but we know him as the winter hog.
He is not made of common dirt, like
others of his family, for his cheek is
of brass, and unlike his more famil-
lar brothers he walks CA two legs.
But he is a hog, all the same, aud
he compels our citizens every winter
to put locks on their gates and hire
special watchmen. Sometimes also
our most pious members of the
strictest churches utter bad words
when afflicted by his viSitations, and
s. -sa-1-, an4
frown so dreadfuliy that their
households think the end of the
world is just ahead. For this hog
climbs fences and opens gates and
eats oranges and robs foweryards
and looks into private rooms through
open windows when he is least ex-
pected and deports himself in many
other respects in manner wholly
consistent with the character of q

The Best Time to Pruns.

The old adagc that "thc best time
10 prune is when the saw is sharp"
il shown by the light Of modern
science and practice to be an unsafe
one to follow. The knife should
never be used upon fruit or orna-
mental trees, unless there are very
urgent reasons for doing so; for, no
matter how small the cut may be, it
undoubtedly shortens the life Of the
tree and weakens 1t. There are
three conditions under which it
seems advisable to prune: to give
the tree good form, to increase its
growth, and to check growth.
Under the first may be included the
removal of dead branches, which is
more easily done when the foliage
is on the tree; but, while old trees
often take on such irregular forms
from surrounding influences that we
decide to prune to improve them, if
q tree has proper care from the small
Seeding, and has full exposure upon
all sides, there will be found little
need for cutting away any large
branches. Pruning to increase
growth must be done while the tree
is dormant. at this time. if a part
of the buds be removed and the roots
remain uninjured, those buds re-
manning will start with increased
vigor. Unless. however, there is at
this time supplied an increased
amount of food, this increased growth
will be almost wholly at the expense
of the food already stored up in the
plant, and in the end no permanent
good will result. Pruning to check
growth is sometimes necessary when
plants that naturally grow to large
size are kept in dwarfed condition
for hedges, screens, etc. In this
case pruning should be done when
the plant is in foliage. We may give
it as a rule that sunless it is desir-
able to check the growth Of a plant
or tree, it never should be pruned
during the summer"

the letter. 1t was, as | recall it,

this:

life. How little he, or any of us,
indeed, thought as We laughed over
