Animal Prnninr.

An English horticultural writer says
that from observation and experience he
believes in annual pruning OF fruit trees,
but he is convinced it does not pay
either in cost Of pruning or in good to
the tree (how the cost OF pruning could
pay except in good to the tree we con-
fess we don't see.-ED. N. u. F.) to cut
out all the superhuous twigs. These
twigs, he thinks, are often useful as q
shelter or sun-screen to the inner parts
of the top of the tree, and by leaving
them the danger of over-pruning by
which the nutrition of the tree is in
iured, is lessened.

Hints About Strawberries.

Mr.. George T. Powell, in an address
on Strawberry Culture, before New
York farmers institute, made these re-
marks: In fertilizing the strawberry,
remember that it yields from near the
surface, and as consequence is easily
water killed. To make success sure, it
ls therefore best to underdrain piece of
land to carry off the surplus moisture in
the fall and spring. The soil should be
moist, but not wet. Underdrains are
fully as valuable in dry as in wet
weather, as they prevent, in a measure,
the expectation of moisture from the
soil. A soil that will produce good
crop of corn will produce good crop OF
berries.
Potash is the best fertilizer for the
strawberry. The vine and foliage require
nitrogen to perfect them the fruit, pot
ash and phosphoric acid. The former
will be cheaply obtained from good
barnyard manure, the latter from ashes
and ground bone.

apart one way, and grow in what is
called the matted row system, not per-
mitting the rows to spread more than

frequently hear old fishermen tell OF

their decoys but missed connection with
their sharp-tined spsars.
In favorable winters spearing on Sag
inaw Bay furnishes employment for
several hundred men. As many as eight
hundred shanties and buildings, with oc-
cupants numbering about fifteen hum
dred, have been stationed upon the ice at
one time. Stores and saloons have even
found sufficient patronage from bay
fishermen to encourage their establish
ment at convenient points. The daily
catch of the fishermen was often quite
remunerative, as it represented a tinan.
cial value of from five to ten dollars.
Buyers from Bay City packing houses
would call as often as three times a
eek, purchase his stock at the shanty
door and then return to make shipments
to Eastern and Southern markets.
There is more or less danger connect
cd with winter fishing upon Saginaw
Bay. High winds may capsize the shanty
if not properly anchored, or they may
send the vast body of ice out into the
lake unknown to the occupant of the
little house. The latter often occurs
during the night without the fisherman s
knowledge. In the daytime the spearer
can detect the movement of the ice by
simply watching a marker dropped to
the bottom of the bay. A bright piece

to make his escape through the aperture

Shell Fish as Food.

Some of the different varieties OF she'll
fish are considered choice articles of
food. They have nutritive value lit
tie less and somewhat similar to fab, but
are not so easily digested.
Oysters are the most easily digested OF
this class of fooo; next come Holsters
and crabs, and lastly mussels.
For invalids and dyspeptica this class
of food should be excluded from the
diet. with the exception of oysters, and
those for a person of weak digestion
should be eaten raw, or merely warned
through, as cooking renders the oyster
tough and more difficult of digestion.
The raw oyster agrees with almost
every one, although few find themselves
obliged to discard the hard part, eating
only the soft part. The hard part IL
muscle, which binds the two half shells
together, and the soft is the liver.
The oysters of America and Europe
differ greatly. European oysters are
smaller and have coppery flavor. Our
Southern oysters are larger than the
Northern. They are dredged along the
coast and transferred to oyster beds Ia
creeks close to shore, where they fatten.
In London oyster salesmen sometimes
keep oysters for few days in water to
which oatmeal has been added, for the
purpose of rendering them more delicate
and of better flavor. When out OF sea.
son, during spawning time, the oyster Is
soft and milky and not fit to be eaten.
The lobster and crab are not suitable
for an invalid or one of weak stomach.
OF the two, though, the lobster is less
likely to hurt. The flesh in the claws is
the most digestible portion. 1t is more
delicate than that in the tail, which is
frmer. The soft part in the shell, which
is the liver, is much more likely to do
harm than the claws. The gills, which
are sometimes called "dead mems fin
gers" should be avoided, but are really
not poisonous, as they are sometimes de-
clared to be.
Crabs should be carefully cleaned be-
fore cooking. They often unexpectedly
disagree with a healthy stomach. This
is probably due to garbage, on which
they feed. The purchaser should be
care to see that the Holsters or crabs are
fresh, for they begin to putrefy almost
as soon as dead.
When canned lobster is used, on
opening, the contents of the can should
be entirely removed, for if a portion be
left in the can it is liable to contamina.
tion.
In some parts of Europe much more
commonly than in this country mussels
are used as food. They have been quite
frequently noted as poisonous, and fatal
cases have been reported from using
them cooked as we'll as raw.
Shell fish sometimes cause an itching
skin eruption. Nausea, vomiting and
giddiness are sometimes the indications
that they disagree with those who par
take of them.

matism seem most liable to bad effects
