Gives an interesting account of the
cure of severe case of Rheumatism
that came directly under his personal
observation. Being i'll the merchanti1e
business he had many calls for the
most celebrated "Yagcrs Cream
Chloroform Liniment" He says:-
The first bottle he sold was to a
party who came into our place of
business suffering intensely with
Rhematic pains. I advised him to try
a bottle of the Nager'S Liniment, he
thought it would be useless, said he
had tried almost everything and could
get no relief. l insisted on his irving
it and Informed him if it did not re-
ieve him should cost him nothing.
This was about d 2. M He took
bottle and started home, he was
hardly able to walk. saw nothing
more of him until bright and early the
next morning, when he came into our
store walking as lively as could be
with no signs Of suffering about him.
Inquired about the I.iniment, he said
it was the best stuff he ever used,
would not take IS for the bottle. Said
he got home almost done up and as
soon thereafter as he could he applied
the Linimcnt, end it gave him almost
instant relief, before retiring he ap-
pied it once more, went to bed and
slept sOundly all night, and in the
again and at present felt no pain
whatever. This was about four or five
weeks ago. l see the party every few
days and he says he is not troubled
with Rheumatism any more"

in the shortening in of the peach, etc.
The CRATER prunes; the builder must
prune; the grape grower trims his
vines annually in order to obtain the
best results. In the case Of the grape
it is pruning n training combined.
So with apple, peach and other fruit
trees grown on a trellis or espalier, as
is done to a considerable extent in Eng
land and on the continent of Europe.
In this connection we recall the recon-
mendation some time ago of our occa-
sional correspondent Hon. Cassius M.
Clay of Kentucky, to omit pruning Is
a preventive of grape-rot; just what we
had been doing with u Duchess, not
removing a single cane, spring or sum-
mer, but without checking the malady
in the least. An examination of the
principal authorities on horticulture
and ponology, Downing, Thomas,
Warder, Barry, Nicholson, etc., will
show that they are all favorable to
pruning. But it is moderate, careful
pruning, at the right time and with a
correct understanding of the end to be
attained. What is justly reprehensible
is the indiscriminate cutting and slash
ing, of which the professional as we'll
as the unprofessional primer is too oftep
guilty.

To Frune OF Not to ?rune,

The discussion in these columns re-
Gently concerning pruning has doubt
less interested many Of our readers,
says National Stockman. Much may be
said on both sides of the question. That
pruning was practiced in the most an
ciant times, as attested by the Oldest
writings eXtant, can hardly be claimed
SIS conclusive evidence of it's useful
ness; but that it has continued in yari-
GUS forms until the present time and
is still in use among intelligent horti-
culturists is not without weight. Pass
ing through the country one often sees
fruit trees with great limbs four or five
inches in diameter cut off, and stubs
three to six inches long left sticking out
enough to turn any lover of trees
against pruning Of all kinds. This,
however, may be said to be the abuse.
of pruning. That trees endure such
cutting and live is evidence Of great
vitality. The Usage orange as used in
hedge-making is a striking example of
this. It's strong hold on life enables it
to Withstand the two prunings in each
year which are necessary to a perfect
hedge. Though eve killed by this
operation when properly performed it
is depressed and kept in bounds; Grip
pied, it may be said, and prevented
from taking it's natural way and in
time mounting upward fifty or sixty
feet. The usefulness Of pruning is
clearly seen here. But pruning may be
done for different ends from this: To
direct growth; to thin the crop of fruit
and prevent injury by overbearing, as

fertilizers predominant. This fact has
been often suspected AID the labors of
NJ. Comon and his cuadjutors now
leave no doubt in this respect. M.
Comon says: In the culture OF the po-
tato the question Of fertilizers is SUI
preme. The plant is not fastidious in
THIS respect, but if not fertilized it
Will yield little. A large and first
class yield can be expected only
through plenteous and suitable fertiliz-
ing. That the Yield depends in
grea' .'art on fertilizing is not dis
puted by any sane person, but it is less
generally known that the kind of fertil-
lzer exerts an influence on the quality
OF the product. This is a fact that
seems to be undoubted. The exclusive
use of dressings in which nitrogen pre-
ponderates is prejudicial to the elab-
grafton OF dry matter; the simultaneous
use OF these same heterogeneous fertili-
zers, with phosphate and potassic fer
tlllzers is, on the contrary, favorable
to the securing of tubers of a high con-
tent. While this statement may have

majority OF u potato growers, who
cultivate this plant merely for their
own consumption or for that of the in
habitants of the towns, it is far other
wise with those who grow the potato
for industrial purposes and have in
view the production of the starchy
matter. The Importance of the obser-
walton of this truth in practice can be
easily reckoned. Allowing that an acre
planted in potatoes gives an average of
10000 kilos $4,000 pounds) of tubers,
the gain of 8 per cent of dry matter,
for example, obtained by the applica-
ton Of phosphate fertilizer to potassic
in the stead of heterogeneous organic fer
%tilizer, would result in an increase
equivalent to nearly 20 per cen in the
yield.

Home Grown Celery.

We know many farmers who have
learned to like celery, and who buy
considerable amounts every fall and
winter, but without a thought of grow
ing 1t themselves. They keep from
planting celery under the impression
that its cultivation, and especially the
b~lanching of the leaves, is a difficult
operation. Celery used to be grown
much more extensively than now. The
deep trenching that was once thought
necessary is now considered injurious,
as sudden showers in summer will fill
the trenches with water, and half bury
the young plants in mud before they
have fairly begun growing. It is
much better to plant on level surface,
and blanch the stalks by excluding
light with boards set against the rows
OF celery on each side. The sol! needs
to be as rich as it is possible to make
it, and with plenty Of water so that
the growth shall lever cease. If there
is any stoppage of growth, the celery
Will be tough, stringy, and lacking in
the nutty flavor of celery grown from
start to finish as quickly as possible.
Coarse stable n must not be used
for celery. No matter how much water
the celery has, the manure will at
some time heat and cause the celery to
stop growing. That will make the
celery tough, no matter how well
grown it is otherwise. The best ma
nure for celery is nitrate of soda
which will furnish nitrogen in avail
able form without heating.
Raising Large Trees.-In the vi
cinity of Philadelphia they have a
fashion of lifting large trees
where the grade has been raised that
does not seem to be in practice else
where. Two ropes are attachd to the
top of the tree SO that each can be
drawn in different directions. A
trench is dug around the base of the
tree-the circle being as wide as may
seem judicious. When dug to the depth
desired, the earth is forked away from
the ball on one side and a block sci
under the roots as a sort of fulcrum.
n rope on that side is drawn over the
block, and the result is the lifting up
Of the mass Of roots on the opposite
side. A little earth is then placed
under these elevated roots, and the on.
posite rope drawn to that side. This
lifts the roots over the block, and more
earth is placed there. The tree, by the
aid of the opposite ropes, is then drawn
backwards and forwards, more earth
being placed at each turn. In a very
short time the tree may be elevated as
many feet as may be desired, standing
on the summit of a firm mound Of
earth. Trees rs to SO feet high, with
trunks IL to Is inches in thickness
have been lifted in this way with very
little check to future growth.-Mee.
