SrYeenex Treatment.

Sweeney is a sprain of the muscle
which fills up the cavity on the outer
side of the shoulder blade and plays over
the outer side of the shoulder joint. 1t
occurs mainly in young animals when
first put to plow or in others going on
uneven ground and stepping unexpect-
edly into holes. In endeavoring to re-
cover the equilibrium on stepping into a
furrow or hole, or stumbling over stone
or clod this muscle which forms the
outer support of the joint is injured and
then result heat swelling and tender
ness on the outside of the joint and
peculiar gait. The animal may walk, or
even trot, without much apparent lame
ness; but one standing directly in front
of him can see the shoulder roll outward
from the body to a far greater extent
than a sound one. The muscle begins
to waste away rapidly and in bad cases
the shoulder blade may soon be denuded
of flesh until it appears to be covered by
nothing but skin. Treatment in the first
stages, with heat, swelling and tender
ness outside the joint, should be absolute
rest and application of wet rugs to the
spot 10 reduce the extra heat When
this has subsidized, exercise the animal
frequently by walking 1t about at first,
driving slowly before a buggy, and later
Increase the circulation over the affected
part two or three times a day by active
friction with a wisp of straw or a piece
of wood. Mild blisters once in a while
may be advantageous. Form the blister
of one part Spanish flies and twenty-five
parts of alcohol Let the mixture stand
twenty-four hours before using. Some
times a galvanic battery is useful in
such cases. 1t may take months to fill
the cavity, but in recent cases persever-
ence will generally be rewarded. In old
standing cases with fatty degeneration
of the muscles, very partial restoration
only can be effected. 1t is hardly neces-
sary TO say the food of the patient should
be nutritious and Of a character to keep
the bowels in free action. Wasting of
the shoulder muscle may be caused by
lameness entailing disuse of the limb,
as injuries of the feet, etc, but it is
sweeny only when the characteristic gait

the shoulder muscles, as before stated, &C.

One of the principal reasons OF the Iali-

summer months is neglect to dig at the
proper time, remarks Farm and Fruit
Grower. The majority allow them to re-
main till the vines are dead before they
are dug, and the excessive heat Of one
or two weeks of summer weather starts
decay in the tubers. Housed after this,
they are soon completely destroyed. AS

Early Ohio and Bliss Triumph, otherwise

Pruning the Orange Trees High.

Personally, we do not pay much atten-
ton to pruning says the Barlow Courier
Informant. The French or English gard
ener will spend moro time and thought
over a single tree than ire give to ten
acre orchard. AS we go about the country
we are sometimes amused, sometimes veX-
ed. TO see all the orange trees that have
grown high enough trimmed up all alike,
all high enough so that horse could walk
under the branches. Friend, you call your
self an intelligent HORTICULTURAL; have you
ever considered for what purpose YOU are
growing and pruning trees? Is IL Tor pro-
ductiveness; that is profit? Or is 1t for
your own comfort in working them, that
your hat may not be knocked off in hoe
ing? 1t would be safe TO wager a SILK hat
that the extra amount of fruit produced
on a Eow-headed, broad spreading tree Will
pay many times over for the work of hoe
ing around and under it.
We strongly advocate low pruning OF
trees for the seven cogent reasons follow
ing: The fruit-bearing surface is greatly
increased. The tree is far more stocky, ana
is thus better able TO Withstand the au-
tumn gales The bark of the trunk is
shaded, an important consideration In
semi-tropical countries. The soil lmmedi-
ately about the trunk IS shaded, and thus
kept more moist ana lOOSS. L HS PAShiiS "
The fruit is greatly facilitated and made
less expensive. 1t has been estimated by a
grower of ample experience with tail seed
lings and low-crowned budded trees, that
il costs four times as much, box for box,
to pick the fruit growing above an eleva-
ton of ten feet as it does below It, Orange
trees seven years old and Tanger1nes
twelve years old in a famous grove We once
visited near Sanford, could be stripped of
their fruit without a ladder, only a step
ladder that could be carried in one hand
being needed in very few cases. And there
were seven or eight boxes each on the best
trees 20
A California grower gives, in the Paclhc
Rural Press, bit of his experience with
low-headed trees. A nelghbor with trees
az the same age as his trimmed his trees
high. The first year the low-headed trees
had a little fruit, but the others had none.
The next year the low trees had a nan
box a piece, the high trees dozen or two'
etc.
The best way to manage pruning IS by
nInching with the thumb-nail, never Yet the
growth get over a foot long This is a
great deal easier and great deal better
for the trees than to wait until the branch
es have grown so large as to require two

Potash is the chief fertilizer to be ap-
Piled to fruit trees, particularly after they

Potash may be had in wood ashes and

Phosphoric acid is the second important

Barn manures are generally more eco
nomically used when applied to farm crops
than when applied to orchards, yet they
can be used with good results, particular
~ when rejuvenating old orchards.
Cultivation may be stopped late in the
season and crop can then be sown upon
the land. This crop may serve as a
cover or protection to the soil and as a
green manure.
A green manure improves the soil by
adding fiber to it and by increasing its fer
tility.
The crops well adapted to this late SOW
Ing are few. Vetch is probably the best
which has been well tested But every
thing points to crimson clover as the

ORCHARD Wisdom

If orchards are to be made profitable they
must receive as good care as other crops.
Good drainage, natural or artificial. is
essential to success. Trees are impatient
OF wet feet.
Good tillage increases the available food
supply of the soil and also conserves its
moisture.
Tillage should be begun just as soon as
the ground is dry enough in the spring
and should be repeated as often as once
in ten days throughout the growing sea
son, which extends from spring until July
or August.
