unfortunate. Perhaps IN some cases it
may occur through selling to persons who
allow the trees to become mixed up. Or it
may be caused by unframed and unskilled
help employed in the nurseries At any
rate our nurserymen cannot afford to al
low such disappointing conditions to con-
tlnue. They should organize for the pur-
pose or placing their business in this re-
spect on higher plane, find out those
VINO are careless and compel them to adopt
the better methods or. let the public know
who the careless ones are. Most of our
nurserymen are very conscientious, and
some are so careful as to sell only direct
ly to planters from their nurseries.
But 1t will be for the interest of every
separate nursery to join forces, uniting in
organizations which shall serve at least
to straighten this one difficulty. Perhans
1t might be suggested that from lots where
many retail orders are filled that each
separate tree be labeled but such matters
could best be decided by an assembly of
nurserymen, and we suggest that for the
benefit of the fruit industry, of which the
nursery business is a part, that. anv firm
interested take the initial move.

Pruning Fruit Trees.


On this North Pacific slope, where the
winters are mild, pruning for the dormant
season may be done at any convenient
time after the foliage has been shed until
Immediately before the buds expand in
the spring. In any case pruning should
not be deferred until after the tree has
commenced growth, for this has a. tend
ency in nearly every instance to check it's
vigor. For this reason, where the rand
formation Of young wood is desired. the
work must be performed before the buds
begin to swell.
AS a rule the rapid formation of leaves
and wood is adverse to the production Of
fruit. On the other hand, the slow growth
Of the wood favors the formation of fruit
buds and the production of heavy crons
These two adverse tendencies NAV he
more or less controlled by pruning Diff
ferent kinds of trees require varying man.
agement. Judgment must be exercised as
to the amount to be cut away from the
tops The peach, for example, readily re-
produces new shoots, and it may conse-
Guently, be cut back very freely: two
thirds to nine-tenths Of each previous sea-
sons growth may be removed without
detriment. The cherry, on the contrary.
is very sensitive; some young trees have
nearly been killed by a severe early sum-
mer pruning. The young cherry shoots
should never be cut back more than half
their length at any time. The pear
plum, prune and apple are intermediate.
A tree may be moulded into almost anv
desired shape by proper use of the knife.
or even by the pinching process. If
young tree from the nursery is too tail
and slender, or has too high a top, it
should not be altered much the first year
after removal, but allowed to become
tolerably established with it's new set of
roots except perhaps in case of the peach.
which may be shaped as desired from the
start.
AS all nursery trees succeed better, are
more sure to live, are more vigorous and
make handsomer trees when set out quite
young, or at not more than years from
the bud or graft, the following directions
apply to such trees at the time Of plant
ing and Immediately afterwards. Three or
four side shoots which are suitable dis
lance from the ground to form the head
should be at first selected to form the
main branches and to constitute the foun-
datlon or framework of the future tree.
In order to secure well formed and nice
ly balanced head, these shoots must be
frequently watched through the first sum-
mer Of growth, and if any Of them are dis
posed to take the lead of the others, they
should be pinched and checked to maintain
an equality.
In pruning small limbs the cut should
be made near bud or close to the larger
limb, so no dead stub will remain and the
wound soon heal over.

good many COWS yield from $50 to 200

there are a very large. number that yield

would not be reduced to that figure. 1t

The Professor Used to Tell Very Good

The late Prof Blackie used to relate
with great gusto the following story
against himself, and don't think that
it has ever been chronicled in print, says
an exchange. AS everyone knows. the
genial old professor used to be Il pictur-
esque and striking figure in the streets
of Athens.
A wiry framed old patriarch, with
striking handsome features and long hair
that fell in ringlets about his shoulders,
no one once having seen him could for
get him. Passing along one of the prin-
cipal Edinburg streets. he was accosted
one day by very dirty little street gam
in with: sShin your boots, sir?''
The urchin was very importunate and
the professor, being impressed with the
extreme filthiness of the boys face, re-
marked:
81 don't want shine, my lad, but if
you will go and wash your face I'll give
you sixpence."
"A' RIGHT, SIR" was the lads reply,
and, going over to an adjacent drinking
fountain, he made his ablution. Return
ing, he held out his hand for the money.
"Well, my lad" said the professor,
'youve earned your money; here it is. ~
~ dinna want it, auld chap returned
the gamin, with lordly air; Eye can keep
it and git yer hair cut"

NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Sept. 9.-The stock specula-
ton to-day again reflected professional
manipulation to q large extent, although
some commission house buying was also
noted. London was again an uncertain
factor figuring on both sides of the ac-
count. The movement of prices was irreg-
ular and in number of instances the
variations were wide. The opening was
characterized by a renewal Of the upward
movement that had been in progress at
the close yesterday and the volume of
business was on fairly large scale. The
strength of the market continued until
near midday, when realizations caused a
reactionary movement. In the down
ward movement Sugar dropped 2 IA, To-
bacco =. The market became dull and
continued heavy until about delivery
hour, when the break in exchange caused
an improving tendency, resulting in frac-
tional gains all along the line. The move
ment was facilitated by covering pur-
chases. The closing was dull, but steady
at the rally, with prices showing irregu-
lar fractional changes. 4

his arms around her, and gave her p

mistaken by some Of the residents of
the Ninth ward for an exp osion in
Sboenberger's mill. Christ wiped his
lips and ran.
Mrs. Marmel was hopping mad. She
put on her bonnet and hurried to the
Office of Alderman Brophy, where she
declared her desire to sue Kautarian
for $1,000 damages. The Alderman
was not in the damage suit business,
