WHEN TIE KNIFE is SHARP.

The best time TO pruue the apple Is
when the knife is sharp. This Ia rank
heresy ia the eyes OF many who favor
pruning only in winter, but IL Is borne
out by tests at Cornell experiment sta
ton in central New York. In 81, six
good-sized apple trees were set apart,
and portion of young orchard has
also been used for experimentation.
That season limbs were cut offevery
month in The year. This winter the
scars have been carefully studied and
photographed and no difference can be
found In the healing over. That Is, no
difference can be discovered that would
cause the recommending OF any particu-
lar month To prune. The wounds at
time of pruning were covered with all
the different substances recommended,
and no advantage could be discovered by
their use over no treatment, IN healing
over these wounds, which were one TO
four inches in diameter. Prof. Bailey
goes so far as 20 say that the use OF
grating wax, shellac, paint and various
other coverings for wounds made by the
removal OF limbs, is only valuable 10
keep out bacteria and thus prevent rot.
The ideal remedy for this would be bor-
deaux mixture (but il does not last as
the other recommended substances In
brief time allow germs to obtain foot
hold. The rapidly growing upright
branches heal over much more quickly
than the slower growing laterals.
Make smooth, clean cuts and cut close
TO body of tree, and make the cut on
side branches parallel with the body OF
the tree and not at right angle 10 the
limb cut of, if by so doing the cut would
not be on line with the tree.-Ameri-

LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
MANASSAS, Va, April 10, 1896.

Judging from the Maine papers our
winter has been quite similar to yours.
We really had no winter weather until
March came In, and even then very lit
| tie snow, but we feel the effects of your
| recent snow storm april 2d) In the
chilly, frosty air, which comes to US
from the north, and Is so penetrating.
Farmers are very busy plowing and
preparing the ground for oats and corn,
and gardens and truck patches are rap
idly being put In order. This loca-
ION Is particularly adapted to the rails
In of small fruits, and live Yankee,
nm, terstanding the business, would make
money to come here and establish cam
ming factory.
Our town has had no boom, but there
has BEEN steady growth and improve
ment, especially noticeable the past six
or eight wears. Nearly every denomina-
ton know to church-goi people has
house OF " orship here. A graded public
school and an "lnstitute" furnish an OPP
portunity for one to iit for college. A

Refrigerating Flowers.

Quite a revolution IN horticulture has
been IN progress during the past decade.
although. owing "a the secret manner IN
which the experiments leading up 10 1t
have been conducted, comparatively few
persons have been aware Of the new de-
parture. Every one knows that flowers,
as well as fruits and vegetables, are
forced. so that those who are rich shall
have the use of them before unaided ma
ture brings them 70 maturity. This fore
ing business Is an expensive one. requir-
ing constant attention and skilled labor.
Many attempts. therefore, have been
made 10 get ut the golden eggs by cheap
er means, and as a result Of many trials
the opposite process 10 forcing has been
adopted with success. The system con-
sists in retarding the Towering of the
plant by refrigeration. and is. of course,
only applicable to those which are hardy
in this country, by which we mean those
which will stand several degrees Of frost.
The lily Of the valley is one Of them,
and it is much in request for purposes Of
decoration. Under. the old forcing con-
ditions only about 80 per cent Of the
buds treated could be induced TO flower,
but by the freezing method an average
of 90 per cent can be secured from the
end Of summer up 10 Christmas.
1t will be noted that the process can
not be applied to eyergreens Of any
kind, and it would certainly be death 10
camellias and probably to hyacinths and
tulips. IL is said that near Berlin three
growers alone have nearly 300 acres Of
lily Of the valley under cultivation, and
that they have adopted the refrigerating
method with great success. Ii has been
long ago proved that the plant can be
cultivated in England with equal sue
cess, and we trust that the new method
will soon be tried on an extensive scale
in this country. Chambers Journal
