ROOT PRUNING,

The wisdom of the ancients in some
respects surpassed that of the mod
erns, We read Of the good effects of
digging about late bearing fruit trees
and feeding them with manure. Now
Mr.. Meehan, one of the wisest and
most experienced of fruit growers, ex-
horts those who have tardily bearing
trees-and who has not?-to do these
very things now. He advises root
pruning of such laggard trees. 1t is
first the nature of II tree to make wood,
and to this end it must have abundant
foliage to gather from the atmosphere
the carbon needed to make the wood.
It bears fruit in its old age to repro.
duce its kind, that is all. And Just as
we have trained our cows to make
milk for our use far in excess of the
natural desire of the animal, so we
must train our trees to bear fruit in
the same manner. So we go back to
the ancient device to dig about the
trees, cutting off the extended roots
and combining them to closer quarters,
thus preventing the excessive growth
of wood. This tends to fruit bearing,
and it is effective. The present is a
good time to do this work, for the
buds for the coming years growth are
maturing, and we may say whether
they shall be mere useless leaf buds OF
profitable fruit buds. OF course, with
this pruning we add moderate fertil
izing, for the reproductive process il
plant, as it is in an animal, is ex
hsustive, and needs stimulating by
abundant and good food. New Yorl

LIVER ENLARGED BY ALCOHOL.

Patrick Carney, a flfteen-year-oll boy,
who lives at 639 First avenue, was brought
to Bellevue Hospital last evening to be
treated for an enlargement Of the liver caused
by the action Of alcohol. This case is a re-
markable one because Of the youth of the
patient. The disease is not uncommon
among middle-aged men who are hard
drinkers.
Young Carney has been In the habit OF
drinking beer or whisky at his meals ever
since he can remember. 1t was also his
habit to join in drinking the beer which his
father brought up in the evening In a can for
supper. He drank beer or liquor at any
time, in fact. as a matter Of course.
The boy is no larger than a child OF seven
or eight years old. He was carried In the
physician arms TO and from the examination
room.-NeW York Sun.
