HINTS ON PRUNING.

Pruning can be done on mild DAYS.
Plum trees, if at all, should be pruned
at once. Cut the new growth of strag-
CLING growers back one-third or one
half. This will thin the crop and pre-
vent injury to the tree from overbear-
ing and breakage. Peaches may be
treated about the same way. Always
avoid cutting large limbs unless they are
dead or diseased. Where two branches
try to occupy the place where one is suf-
fclent, remove one. In general way,
when pruning, try to provide for the
convenience of the -gatherer.
Hedges of deciduous kinds to be pruned
during mild days. At the South, nearly all
shrubs may now be pruned, while for the
North several weeks later will do very
well. The shrubs that bear their bloom
on new wood, such as ROSES, althaas,
late Towering, spiraas, burning bush,
hardy hydrangeas, etc., may be cut back
quite severely at this season with good
results. Do not use the knife now On
shrubs that bear their flowers on the old
wood, except when necessary for the i'm
provement Of general shape. Severe
pruning in this case would simply re-
duce the amount of bloom. After the
Towering season is the proper time for
thorough pruning of such gro this

BUCKWHEAT TO INCREASE THE FERTILITY.
Glover is considered one of the best.
If not the best, crop that can be used to
build up rundown soil. But in some
cases the land has been cropped down so
much that good growth of clover can
not be readily secured, and when this is
the case something else must be used.
In the absence of clover one of the best
crops to use is buckwheat 1t will grow
in soil too poor to make a good crop
of clover; it makes quick growth and
will soon shade the soil thoroughly.
Shading the soil aids in notifications
and also in destroying the weeds. One
advantage with buckwheat is that two
good crops can be grown and turned un-
der in one season and a sufficient uuanti-
ty of plant food secured in this way to
grow a crop of clover, and soil that
will grow clover can be built up into
good condition of fertility.
The first seeding can be done as soon
as all danger of hard frost is past; SOW
broadcast, taking pains to sow the seed
as evenly as possible over the surface and
harrow in we'll. As soon as a good
growth has been made, or when in full
bloom, it Will pay to pillow under, taking
pains to cover as completely as possible
A second sowing can be made as soon as
the first is plowed under, and before a
hard frost in the fall it will have made
good growth. In this way considerable
quantity of valuable fertilizer can be ap-
piled at comparatively small cost and

little or no money in the treasury
to meet them. All appropriations
are made out of "any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropria-
ted" II there is no money the
treasury will refuse payment, and
if none is available during the fis-
cal year the appropriations will die.
1t seems very probable, that many
OF the government works for which
appropriations were provided in the
river and harbor bill will have to
languish for want of money to
meet them. at least, until the dem
ocratic congress meets.
A VERY GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
Altogether the outlook is very
gloomy. A gentleman who has
made the government finances a
study for twenty yevrs, said this
afternoon that the situation was an
exceedingly grave one. Not only
on account of the condition of the
United States treasury, but rather
because of the disaster it might
involve to the business interests of
the country.
ut looks rs though we would
have a panic next FALL" said he.
Nothing seems more certain now
than that one will occur and that
it will be one of tho worst calami-
ties the country has experienced in
years. Stocks are falling. Next
October when the crops come to be
moved they will require a third
more money than they did last
year.
Last year the crops were u fail
ure. This year they promise to be
unusually heavy. Yet when the
pinch came last year money on
call went up in New York to 1876
per cent. per year, this notwith-
standing the fact that Secretary
Window to relieve the stringencv
purchased $65,0o0,00O worth of
government bonds. When the
pinch comes this year the treasury
won't have a dollar to check a
panic, and if money gets unusually
tight crush in inevitable"

Cleveland on Extravaganza.

Public extravaganza in it's rela
ton to inequitable tariff laws not
only lays an unjust tribute upon
the people, but is responsible
for unfair advantages bestowed
on special and favored interests
as the price of partisan sup.
port. Thus the exercise of the
popular will for the benefit of the
country at large is replaced by
sordid and selfish motives directed
to personal advantages, while the
encouragement of such motives in
public place for party ends deadens
the official conscience.
Public extravaganza directly
distributes gifts and gratuities
among the people, whose liberation
OF waste is thus secured or whose
past party services are thus COM
pensated, or who are thus bribed to
future party support. This makes
the continuance Of partisan power
a stronger motive among public
servants than the faithful discharge
of the peoples trust, and sows tho
seeds of contagious corruption in the
body polite.
But to my mind tho saddest and
most frightful result Of public OK.

gone to Sardis to help King Crnsus
pull through some political jobs,
went out for stroll up and down
Broadway, the principal thorough
fare of Sardis. When he returned
to the palace he related to the king
the following story:
An Ass met a Calf one afternoon.
cav, deah boy" said the Ass,
"you look ILL.,"
"Yaas," answered the Calf;
"caught a dweadful cold this
mawning."

you sit in a dwaft?"
"Yaas," answered the Calf; "sat
wight neah a vulgah fellaw who
whistled for his dog"
When the distinguished fabler
had concluded his story, the king
said:
"Esop, some of your yarns are
rather hard to believe. For ex.
ample, l can hardly imagine asses
and calves conversing one with
another"
THAT brings me to my moral"

THE LOOTED TREASURY.
(aovernment Onlcial Alarmed ct the
Condition VI the Finances.
Secretary Foster Decides to put the
Brakes on the Pension Burcsu and
to Economtze In Every Possible
Manner,

to Economize In Every Possible
Manner.
The treasury officials are thor
oughly alarmed at the condition of
the government finances. 1t is a
question whether they can tide the
administration over until next win
ter, when a democratic congress
will be called to increase the rev.
enues to make good deficit caused
by the famous billion dollar con-
gress. Recently Chief Shaw, of
the finance division of the pension
bureau, was summoned to the
treasury department, where he had
long conference with Secretary
Foster and several other officials.
as result of which it was decided
that the brakes would have to be
set on the pension business.
Pensions are being issued at the
rate of thousand day and about
100000 cases are pending. Many
of them carry arrearages which cut
a big figure at time when the
treasury officials are boarding the
pennies to meet the governments
obligations. 1t is essential, there
fore, that the granting of pensions
should be reduced to minimum,
and this will be done. Other OK.
pedients are being resorted to re-
lieve the cramped condition of the
treasury. Appropriations made
by congress are even being held up.
SMALL APPROPRIATIONS WITHHELD.
Yesterday Director of the Mint
Leech went to the warrant division
of the treasury with demand for
$500, which had been appropria-
ted by the last congress, He was
told that he would have to do with
out the money. Nothing could
better illustrate the critical nature
OF the situation. When the treas.
ury is forced to postpone the pay
,nent of an insignificant sum like
81 500 the finances must indeed be
in a critical condition.
A close of business yesterday an
"availablc" balance of $5S,853,822
was reported. Of this amount,
however, $20,317,312 is in frac-
tional silver coin, which is not a
legal tender for amounts over five
dollars, and which, therefore, is not
available.
Secretary Foster tried to float
this subsidiary coin. He issued
circular after circular Offering ito

change it for money which could
he used in payment of government
liabilities, but in spite of all his
manipulation the effort has been a
dead failuae. During the entire
month the treasury department
has only succeeded in floating
$579,572, or about one.fortieth of
entire sum. Besides this fractional
silver the treasury department has

But Evelyn still remains single, and says sometimes with sigh, "Who would have supposed Aunt Patience Perkins was so rich?"
