When ia Trim the Apple Trees.
some will trim in the fall or late in
GUNNER. and others in the early spring;
end as some Of the trees do very well,
leaving the inference that those injured
suffered from other cause, the practice is
continued as almost as good as any. But
what is tue object in selecting any partic-
MAR time? Is il not for the purpose OF do
ina the least possible injury TO the trees?
II so. let us SEQ how this purpose can be
most intelligently carried out. The in
ipry TO be avoided is the failure OF the
wounds to heal over promptly, which fail
ure leaves ugly holes IN the tree after the
dead wood Of the sawed of branches rOts
ont or worse still, let's in the water and
insects to continually enlarge the Woun
mill the tree becomes hollow, or scat
taced.v and thus fitted for speedy ruin or
inferior fruit. Large branches, therefore,
should not be cut IF at the body Of the
tree. if at all practicable to avoid it; but
# they must be taken off, choose the time
when the tree is in possession Of it's great
est healing power. Now when is that
lime? Late in summer the tree has been
exhausted in yielding crop OF fruit, Or
the sap has already done its summer
work of growth and Is about to with
draw. In early spring the sap has but
commenced its flow, and not yet arrived
at maturity and strength, requires time
10 heal wound.
But the wound of the sawed-otf arm
cannot afford TO wait--it must be healed
now or not at all. Wax it over aud cover
it as you Will, but it does not heal fast
enough. The sap is yet too thin, runs out
at the wound, turns it black aud aids in
starting decomposition. You have much
ado to prevent this, and if you succeed it
is, perhaps, only to find bye and bye that
you have an ugly hole in your fine fruit
tree. Later on, however, in the spring and
early summer the sap is in full flow, has
accumulated strength and vigOr by meet
ing the atmosphere in the young and ten
der buds upon the branches, and the daily
increasing strength of the warmed-up
soil about the roots; and is now prepared
10 do its best work without delay. Now
is the time to cut Off large arms. At this
period many varieties of plants, II entirely
stripped of the bark around their bodies,
will Immediately take on new coat. We
have known the apple, orange, peach,
pear, cherry, OAK, hickory, maple and
many others to do the like. This is the
season also when the suckers or water
sprouts are most active and persistent in
growth, but they must be watched and be
rubbed of as fast as they appear. II per-
mitted to grow large around the old
wound and then be jerGed of, tearing
away the young bark from the wound, it
will be to little purpose that the right time
was chosen tor pruning.

Pulverlzing has virtues in producing a
crop. This is known and has been shown
by practical experience. The "Whyp
may be understood by examining the con-
ditions that are conducive to plant life,
All vegetation is but an amorphous form
Of the elements that exist in the soil or
atmosphere, being composed caiehy Of
oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon.
Whatever aids in the transformation of
these elements from the inorganic to an
organized state aids growth. Pulveriza-
ton helps along the change In many
ways. 1t makes the soil loose and mellow
aud the fneness of the earth increases its
power Of capillary attraction which
draws dampness to the seed to make it
terminate. In fine dirt the seed will
sprout quicker than that in lumpy
ground, and when sprOuted the condi-
tons for a continuation OF growth will be
favorable,

Poor Makes Poor.

The poorer you feed the poorer the ma
nure the animals will produce. 1t pays
to feed we'll, for two reasons: First, your
animals yield better returns in milk, but
ter, cheese or beef; second, the excre-
ments will give you higher grade Of
manure. A ration of Oil or cotton seed
meal with geBd hay will give you ma
nure rich in nitrogen, while corn meal and
poor hay will produce far less nitrogen
GUS manure than these. We know an en-
terprising farmer who buys cast of beans
Of all kinds TO cook and feed his hogs dur
Ing the winter. He says there would be
profit in this ii he counted on only the
manure. If you can, devise some method
By which to save and apply on the farm
the liquid manure. This is profitabiy
done by some farmers. The urine is the
most heterogeneous and most valuable ma
nure at our command, Notwithstanding
the greater portion of that produced on
the farm is simply allowed to go to
waste

called shanghais. There are four varie-
Ties now among the breeders--Black,

mat the Cochlns have yellow legs, while
The legs Of the Langshans are nearly
black. since their introduction the form
