When a heifcr is as good as three
years old, before her first calf is
dropped, and the sire is a well-bred
and fully-maturcd animal, the calf is
not to be despised but in the case of a
two year-old heifer the situation is al
together altered, and only under ex-
ceptional circumstances should her first
calf be reared. Such an animal, as a
rule, lacks size and constitution, and
in nine cases out of every ten is sadly
deficient in flesh and hair. Its desti-
nation should, therefore, be the sham
bles, and when it is well fattened its
mother pays her way better than is
possible under any other system.-N

The very best Judgment must bo
used in pruning trees. There is too
much pruning, and yet pruning is often
necessary The injuries to fruit trees
and the losses 10 frat growers from
vicious and altogether unnecessary
pruning cannot be estimated. The
popular idea that trees must be pruncl
IN order that they should exist. and Is.
pecially if fruit bearing trees. SO that
they should bear fruit, is one of the
most persistent of all prciuIices lie

knife and chisel, saw and AK ana In
strew the ground with tNirs and
branches IS deemed evidence of sllillful
treatment by those who. like the on
orator, are ignorant of the laws which
govern vegetable growth. Some wears
ago there was on the grounds of an cX-
perlmental station a pear orchard
which was planted and maintained for
the especial purpose of Illustrating the
best methods of management for the
production Of fruit. They were all
standard trees, and AT the time of
planting were deprived of nearly all
the growths of the previous wear; they
looked very much ike walking canes.
After the summer growth was ma
tured some OF the shoots were cut back
in order to establish proper DISPOSE
tion of branches From that time they
were untouched by the pruning knife.
They commenced to bear the fourth
year after planting aud continued to
yield heavy crops of fine fruit until it
became necessary to remove them.-

under leaves, logs, or any rubbish that
will afford shelter and protection.
Among the older remedies may be
mentioned the following: Treating
the vines with a solution of tobacco
water, infusion of elder, walnut leaves,
etc; applications of ground plaster of
Paris, powdered SCOT, sulphur, snuff,
aloes, etc; placing burning torches
among the vines. But at present there
are but two remedial agencies which
are considered worthy of trial. One is
to cover the vines with a screen, thus
keeping the beetles from the leaves.
Wires or half barrel hoops thrust into
the ground so as to form two crossing
arches, like "bask t" on acroquet
ground, and covered with cheese cloth
or netting, do well. The most effective
and satisfactory remedy | have found
is the use of paris green prepared and
applied as follows: Take teaspoon
level full of paris green and add to
this two heaplng spoSnfuls of dry
flour, stir the mixture well and
sprinkle over the leaves, and especially
about the stem at the surface of the
ground. A baking powder can with
holes punched in the head will do very
well as sitter for a small patch

WEDNESDAY JULY 10, 1895

The Kiel ship canal opened last
week, and is about 81 miles long, 20
feet deep at dead low water and 2z9
feet wide. In numerous places the
canal widens out to 428 feet to allow
the largest vessels to pass each other.
Work will be continued until vessels
of any depth can pass at low water.
The embankment is stone lined to a
depth of six feet below the water.
The locks at the North Sea end of the
canal are the largest in the world,
with the exception of that at Brem-
erhayen. While no high hills inter-
fered with the work, considerable
difficulty was experienced in leading
the railroad across the canal. Two
of the bridges span the canal at a
height of 1877 feet above the water,
besides which there are six opening
bridges and i6 ferries. The canal
cost $39, 900, 900.
