The Effect on Business.

The newspaper organs which have
been continually harping on gold since
the very day that Cleveland issued his
silver repeating message to the extra
session Of Congress in the summer of
1893 are at ii again in connection with
the present condition of business. And
their statements are just as true now
as they were then-and not Il whit more
so.

FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

The severe drought has stopped the
operation of creameries in many parts
of the country.
We have noticed more reports of poi
soning from cheese this year than ever
before. This is possibly because the PEG
pie are learning to distinguish the
symptoms of this sort of poison bet
ter than formerly.
It is important in the dry season
that the cows have plentiful supply
of fresh pure water. If they have
plenty of this they will do much better
on the dry grass than they will if the
water furnished them is impure and
stagnant.
The Michigan State Dairy association
will hold series of dairy institutes al
the county fairs of that state this fall,
which will doubtless be of great benefit
to those who attend and attract inter
est to this industry. The idea might be
carried out in other states with profit

LOWERING sHRuRs.
But Very Few Varieties Want Amy Pru
ing in Winter.


But Very Few Varieties Want ANY Prun-
ing I'm Winter.
During the winter season q very great
deal of damage is done to shrubs by
many who profess to understand how
to prune properly and yet are entire
~ ignorant of the whole business. This
is deplorably evident near all large
cities, where there are many men who
call themselves gardeners, and who
turn many penny" by the work OF
pruning they get in the many small
gardens therein. Many of these men
are entirely honest, but ignorant. Not
only are they ignorant to-day, but they
continue SO from day to day, never
profiting from experience. Others
know better, but as the pruning means
work they slash away at the trees and
shrubs, caring nothing whether the
owners get flowers from their shrubs or
beautiful shapes from their trees.
1t would be great surprise to the
honest primer to be told that, with
hardly an exception, shrubs want no
pruning at all in winter, yet it is true.
Excepting not more than half dozen
sorts, shrubs flower from wood of the
previous season, and when the last sum-
mer's growth is Topped away the prom
Use of flowers entirely disappears. / do
not say 1 never prune, for there is some
times a little thinning out to do, and
sometimes a long, struggling shoot
| wants shortening in, to give bush a
good outline, and this work do. The
well-known golden bell (Forsythie
| Viridissima) will serve as an illustrae
ton. Left to itself, it is not a hand
| some bush. 1t makes very long shoots,
especially when the plants are vigor.
Gus. / have such one in my garden,
and but lately l cut off the tops of some
of the longest shoots, which had shot
far ahead of the others. The length
cut off each was not more than two feet,
and there is left four feet to each one,
and, besides this, there are couple of
dozen other young shoots not topped at
all, SO that / have yet an abundance Of
young wood to give me bloom. 1t has
| grieved and provoked me many time
! to see collection of shrubs in some
| garden the young shoots of which had
been entirely cut away, and in many
| cases the owner would have been
| thought to have been possessed of
enough intelligence to have prevented
the mutilation of his shrubs. If you
employ man to prune your shrubs and
he proceeds to cut away the wood of
last season, clear him out, for he GER
tainly is imposing on you as to hi-
knowledge.
The proper season to prune shrubs is
in spring or summer, as soon as the
Towering is over. Cut them back then,
if they are not shapely, or if there is too
much old wood. But do not think prun-
ing has to be an annual job. 1 have such
| shrubs as weigelas, SNOWFALL, deutz;a
and the like, which may be said never
to have been pruned. A little finger
and thumb nipping of the ends of some
| of the growing shoots in midsummer
has been all sufficient for them.-Prac-

Young Pigs In the Orchard.

All young pigs in the orchard should
be left unringed and free to root the
soil as much as they like. Ringing
older hogs is sometimes necessary, as
in dry time old sows will get in the
habit, if unringed, of gnawing at tho
bark of the trees and thus destroying
them. An old hog also in roofing will
make deep hog wallows in the soil, de-
stroying some apple roots and making
the surface very uneven. It is proba-
bly, from eating apple tree roots in the
soil that the older hogs get their liking
for apple tree bark and learn to attack
the trunk above the ground When
they get this habit it is impossible to
entirely break them of it. However
well fed they may be, they like feed OF
apple tree bark for change. Rural

The Great Secret in Churning.

There is no make of churn that gran
ulates butter better than another, IL
we discard the dash churn. The only
secret in the matter is to stop the churn
at the right stage, and add the water,
SO as to harden these little granules of
fat and give the fluids free exit from
the churn. In hot weather the gran
ulation of butter is all the more i'm
portant, as there is the greater need OF
getting the buttermilk out of the mass
Summer butter wants to be churned as
cool as possible, and it is here that the
owners of separators have the advan-
tage, that they can cream the fresh
drawn milk down to thirty-three per
cent of actual fat, and churn cream
exhaustively at fifty-two degrees, which
is the actual crystallizing stage of but
ter, and get separators with little or no
washing Practical Farmer.

"wORKING" THE ROADS.

An Ancient Custom Now Fortunately Fall
ing Into Disuse.
''There is no great loss without some
small gain" By the same token
there is no great gain without some
small loss. The new order of things
brought about by the good roads move
ment is likely to do away with one of
the pleasantest features of the social
life of farmers. At first thought this
seems doubly lamentable, inasmuch as
the social life of rural communities is
already notably restricted and barren.
The happy feature referred to as like
ly to be eliminated by the movement to
secure better highways and better
methods of getting them, is the annual
summer visiting bee enjoyed by the
anale members of rural communities
who get together presumably for the
purpose of working" the roads. This
presumption, however, is wrong, i'm
most cases, as the real purpose of such
gatherings is for the farmers to ex-
change views on political and neighbor-
hood topics, tell stories, swap tobacco,
and do whatever else will contribute to
the restful enjoyment of those assem-
Dled.
At these meetings the rival village
wits contest with each other, with what
they term mind against mind, for the
plaudits of their hearers. The great
governmental questions are discussed
and argued at great length. The boys
indulge in jumping and wrestling
anatches, while the maturer members
of the gatherings are content to white
and look on.
In the meantime the work of making
a good road languishes the while. The
highway is left in half-finished state

pecially in a respectable home garden.
We wish to have our garden look nice,
as well as produce large and useful
crops. In recent years wehave made it
II practice to finish off every piece which
we plant with such crops, sweet and
other corn included, with the smooth
ing harrow. This leaves the land in the
very best shape for planting. AS we
plant patches for successional crops
from time to time right along, we have
occasion to use the harrow now and
then during the entire season. Some
times we pillow the strips as we want to
plant them. Sometimes we only stir
the surface with the cultivator, and
then finish off with ordinary harrow,
and finally the Meeker. But Meeker
harrow is rather expensive. 1t costs
