Skillful Pruning.

Skiilful pruning is essential for secur-
ing continued crops Of handsome frui,
of any sort. Here is an epitome of the
main requirements as set forth by Rural
New Yorker:
(a) Thin out annually all the old ex.
hausted wood, all weakly young shoots
and all that cannot reach full light OBJ
Cut off no healthy young shoots that
have open room and light, or that can
be tied or braced into open light. (c)
Prevent crowding and shading and waste
of growth as much as possible by rub
bling off supertinous shoots while yet in
the bud. Id Apply this disbudding to
weak and crowding buds of low plants
as eurrants, gooseberries, raspberries,
roses and other flowers, rhubarb and
strawberries. (e) When cut is made
in tree which cannot heal over with
new bark within year, protect the ex-
posed wood from drying out by a coat
of some waterproof paint or varnish.
Thickened gas tar or asphalt serves this
use we'll.

The New Carratunk House at Scion is
one of the best and most convenient
houses of its size in the State. In its
construction j. ii. Gray, the owner, had
everything put in just about the shape
he wanted it and his experience in the
business at that place caused him to
know just what he needs. The rooms
are light and airy, the office, parlors,
corridors and dining room are we'll
furnished, neat and pleasant.
Scion is as well fixed for churches,
school houses, hotel accommodation and
public and society halls as any town of
its sizs IN Somerset, and some towns in
Maine very much larger are not so well
provided for in this particular. Such
things are to be appreciated.

Orchard Grass with Clover.

Orchard grass goes with clover much
better than timothy, though most farm
ers have got in the habit of seeding tim
othy and clover together. The orchard
grass will not make a perfect sod if
sown alone, as its habit is to grow in
lunches and spread after the first year
When sown with clover, the latter as it
dies out leaves not only room, but plant
food, which the orchard grass avails it
self of Orchard grass and clover are
both ready to cut together, and If cut
early, as both should be, two and eve
three crops may be grown on rich land
in season, says American Cultiyator.

pose much, but he was the writer of
some songs which had vogue, of the
most popular part song ever written,
