Pruning Fruit Trees

No time of the year is more suitable for
the pruning of fruit trees than directly af-
ter the fall of Inc leaf Where summer
pruning has been judiciouslg performed
very little will be required to be removed
The summer pruning of apples and pears
Is intended to obviate the barbarous system
of mutilating the trees once a year-viz. -,
IN the winter. There are very few gar,
deners who leave the pruning of fruit trees
until late in the winter, because besides
being a very uncomfortable operation
then, late pruning has detrimental effect
upon both trees and crops. The pruning
Of fruit trees, principally apples and pears,
consists in removing all portions of the
shoots that are not wanted, so that the
tree may throw its strength into develop.
ing the shoots you wish to remain. If
the spurs of the tree have been duly pinch
ed IN during summer another growth
from each portion that was left has been
formed. and it will therefore be necessary
to cuo the portion left in the summer to
within one or two eyes Of the preceding
years growth, according to fancy or
strength of the respective buds. Goose
berry and black currant shoots should be
thinned out when required and red cur
rants should be spurred. Some cherries
require spur pruning, but the Morello does
better on walls if the young shoots are
laid on annually and some of the older
branches cut short.

FACTS ABOUT WAVES.
Some Figures Regarding the Height O
Water Mountains.

1t is not uncommon in prose works to
read of mountain waves. Exact meas
urements seldom confirm first i'm pressions.
Scorsby found that forty feet was the
height from trough to crest of the largest
waves measured by him in the north At
lantic and in a cyclonic storm when bound
for Australia in the Royal Charter. This
has long been accepted as the extreme
limit of wave heighG. Captain Riddle, a
we'll known and experienced navigator
has, however, encountered waves at sea
which were seventy feet high. the late
admiral Fitzroy had previously observed
waves as high; and some observations
made at Ascension in 1856 support these
authorities. Ia 1874 her majesty's ship
Inconstant was scudding with her stern
upon the crest and her bow in the depres
sion between two successive waves, and
the wave ahead was observed exactly level
with her fore-topsail yard, just seventy
seven feet above the water line. On the
9th of July, 1888, the Cunarder Umbria
was struck by wave not less than fifty
feet high, which did much damage. Two
DAYS before the Wilson liner Martello had
a similar experience; an enormous solitary
/ wave struck her, completely submerging
the decks. The MartelIa was much small
and more deeply ladened than the queenly
Umbria. No connection could be traced
| between these waves. which were referred
to in the detail tidal wave, although of al
together different origin. In October,
1881, the Italian bark, Rosina, had all
hands except one man who was i'll in his
bunk, swept off her decks by Nave which
broke on board as they were shortenir g
sail during a heavy squall in ulid-Atlan-
tic. The British bark Undine had one
watch washed overheard and her captain
killed under similar circumstances. II is
said that the MASSIVE bell of the British
Rock was wrenched from its fastenings by
momentum of driving seas in a gale OF
wind, and the gallery containing it
thickIy strewn with sand, although 100
feet above high-water marks Seorsby
gave 800 feet as the mazium length of sea
waves, but there are many longer. Mr.
Douglas, when building lighthouses on
the coast of Cornwell noticed waves 1900
feet long from crest to crest.

Proverbs of a Colt Driver.

Never tease your colt to make it fight
you, for colts grow fast and do not forget.
Never get mad and fight it out on your
colt, for righteous man regardeth the
life of his beast. Your colt should fear
you, for fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Your colt should love you, for love
worketh no i'll. Teach your colts to stop
immediately when told; it may save your
life some time. Hitch your colt by the
side Of a good, sensible horse, for he that
walketh with the wise shall be wise. Be
not hasty to use the whip, for the rod is
your colt and then whip him to make him
pull it, for by so doing you may make a
bacbslider out of him, and it may be a
hard matter to renew him again. Train
up colt in the way he should 60 and
when he is OLD he will not depart from
it.

I'm ancient time she needed strength of arm,

Man traversed seas of gore to conquer harm,
Woman was weak and quick to take alarm,
For life is here to give, but not to take
Then came time when intellect joined hands
With strength. Now woman fastened to the
No longer cringing meath the iron bands

Co-worker and co-warrior with the man.
She may not WELD the sword but she may

The public heart and sing the sweeter song

Fibrin in MIX.

DR.. Babcock, of the Wisconsin station,
has announced the discovery of fihrin in
milk analogous to the fbrin Of blood.
Fibrin is formed in large quantities in
blood after it is drawn from the veins and
makes the clot. The clot consists of a
dense network of minute threads or ibers
in which the blood corpuscles are en-
tangled. A similar clot occurs in milk,
though in far smaller quantities. 1t may
be that its formation is due to a ferment,
like the fbrin of blood. The flo in begins
to form in the milk as soon as it is drawn
from the cow, and the net work of fbers
entangles the fat globules and binders
their rising to the surface. tibrin is
therefore an important thing in the dairy,
since it tends to hinder the separation of
the or I'm. The dreaming of milk is
helped by anything which retards or pre-
vents the formation Of fbrin, and churn-
ing is aided by whatever breaks it up.
Investigations indicate that milk, as
ordinarily handled, the coagulation of
fbrin begins at the surface and in contact
with the sides of the vessel.

minute There is constant troop going
in ana out all the time-or would Il you
did not watch the gate and shut it when a
thief comes along. For some of those who
want to get in and out are thieves, who
are only trying to steal what belongs to
your absent Master. These are bad words,
actions, thoughts, companions, habits.
Whenever you see any of the bad company
coming, you must shut the gate right
away, and not let them in if they are out,
nor let them out if they are in. But many
Of the great crowd going in and out of
your heart are friends and messengers of
your absent Master. These are good
words, actions, thoughts, companions,
habits. Whenever you see any of these
coming you must open the gate right away
and bid them God-speed- and you
ought to take off your bat to them, too
like good old man | have heard of, who
always took off his hat when he heard the
name of God, wherever he was and now
ever il was said.

Full Tip Corn.

An Indiana corn grower is making an
effort to breed the tip off the ears of his
corn, or rather to make the grains as plen-
tiful and as large clear to the tip as they
are anywhere else ca the ear. His plan is
to select for seed as perfect ears as pos
sible and as variety nearly suited to the
locality as can be obtained; then after
putting the soil in the best condition he
plants four hills and skips two, then four
skipping two and SO on. When this
planting come through the ground, he
plants one of the skipped hills, and when
this comes up he plants the other. The
idea is to secure continuous supply OF
pollen to fertilize the latter developed
threads of silk which are on the tips of
the ear

Feed and Treatment of Cows.

Much Of the value of a COW depends upon
her feed and treatment while she is a
heifer bearing her first calf, says the Dixie
Farmer. She must be gently banded
partly to make her gentle. and partly by
rubbing her bag and teats to develop the
milk glands and make the teats larger If
this be done much before she calves it may
start a milk flow which is not desirable at
this time. But two or three months he
fore calving the teats may be put in the
way of developing without mourning this
risk. The heifer should be literally fed
IN order to supply the extra demand her
calf will make. but fattening feed should
be avoided. 1t is fattening feed that
causes most cases of milk fever, for if the
fat is on the heifer when she begins
to give milk most of it will go into the
pail.

Good Farm ing PAYS

Last year the farmer that paid attention
to business made money. 1t was bad
crop year, and it is in such years that good
farmers prosper. 1t will pay to farm well
this year. Even with bountiful crops,
such as we had two years ago. there is not
much probability of the prices for farm
products going below the point OF pro6ta-
able production. Toe surplus is too nearly
exhausted, but from present indications
we will not be blessed with supernatural
iayed poWing Much of the ground p was
planting time. Early planted corn has
been slow in coming up, aud in many
parts Of the state the late planting has not
made much growth. 1t will pay to take
care Of it when it does get fairly started
Harrow well, kill the weeds, cultivate of
ten. Good farming will pay this year.

FARM AND HOME.
A GREY PORT LEGEND.
BRET HARTE.

They ran through the streets of the seaport town
They peered from the decks of the ships tina
The cold sea-fog that comes whitening down
Mas never so cold or white as they,
"Ho, Starbuck, and Pinckney, and Tenterden
Run for your scollops. gather your men,
Scatter your boats on the lower bay!''
Good cause for fear. In the thick midday
The hulk that lay by the ro:ting pier,
Filled with children in happy play,
Parted its mooring and drifted clear;
Drifted beyond the reach or cal =
Thirteen children there were in ALL
All adrift in the lower bay!
Said hard-faced skipper, "God help US all!
She will not float till the turning tide!''
Said his wife, MY darling will hear my call,
Whether in sea or heaven she hide!"
And she lifted quavering voice and high,
Wild and strange as a sea birds cry,
Till they shuddered and wondered at her side.
The fog drove down on each lab ring crew,
Yelled each from each and the sky and shore;
There was not sounu but the breath they drew
And the lap of water and creak of oar
And they felt the breath OF the down fresh
Ger leagues of clover and cold grey stone
But not from the lips that had gone before
They come no more. But they tell the tale
That, wheE fogs thick on the harbOr reef,
The mackerel-ishers shorten sail;
For the signal they know will bring relief,
For the voices Of children, still at play
In phantom-hulk that dritted away
Through channels whose waters never fail.
1t is but a foolish shipman's tale,
A theme for poets idle page;
But still, when the mists of doubt prevail
And we lie becalmed by the shores of age,
We hear from the misty troubled shore
The voice of the children gone ashore,
Drawing the soul to It's anchorage!

Unselfish Moments

1t is only in moments of unselfshness

me is the thought of myself and my own
calamities; if l could be but liberated
from that, my captivity would be turned
in an hour. If under the shadow of the
cloud, | could but remember that the
shadow of the same cloud hovers over my
brother man, the vision of his shadow
would destroy mine. In the moment of
prayer for. him my burden would fall
from me. l would seek it, and 10! it
would not be found; it would be as if it had
not been. 0, thou Divine spirit of self
forgetfulness, spirit of Christ, spirit of
the cross. it is in thee alone that | can
find this freedoml Liberate me from my
self, and instead of this iron chain give
me a chain of gold. 1t is not the chain
that lowers me, it is the material of which
it is made; it is not the sorrow that in
closes nae a captive, it is the centering of
the sorrow al round my own life. Help NE
to take up the burdens of others, help me
to know what it is to have rest N bearing
