PRUNING GoosEeeaRIEs.

The gooseberry produces Its fruit upon
wood that Il two years old or more,
therefore care must be taken In regard
TO pruning. But II this Is done intelli-
gently the fruit may be very much en-
lsrged and improved. How often In
country places we see gooseberries (~hen
we see them at ALL rank growth OF
green, heavily laden on the under side OF
the branches with small fruit. III the
wood were trimmed away judiciously
there might not be as many bearing
branches, but the berries would be so
much larger and better that II would
more than pay TO take time To do the
necessary pruning.
IL il essential to leave enough Of the
old wood TO bear as much fruit as the
bush will allow, the trimming being
done chiefly on the wood OF but one
wears growth: this wood has no fruit
buds. just simply the leaf buds. The
pruning should be done before the
bushes blossom. This pruning has a
double purpose; this Is To throw the
vitality Of the bush into the fruit buds
and later TO produce lateral branches
which will in time also produce fruit.
Sometimes gooseberry bushes are de-
ple,ed In strength from overbearing or
from old sge. In such cases the bearing
wood should be cut back severely, thus
preventing fruiting for the present sea
son and encouraging new growth which
will fruit by the time the plant has re-
covered It's vitality.
When plants are strong and yet do
not produce fruit in a reasonable or
satisfactory quantity cut the previous
wears wood back at least one-hslf. This
will throw the strength into the remsin-
ing branches, which must almost OF ne
cessiry produce fruit buds and eventual
ly fruit. Rose Seelye- Miller.

that he cannot tell what O'Clock 1t Is

told NE lately that he saw him hal!lng
a police van, mistaking it for an Omni-

air weary and disappointed, bat he has
the brow and eyes Of poet, which are
always pleasant to look upon.
He generally says the right thing at
the right minute and in the right way,
aud he is Justify cheered, but sitting
among the opposition have abundant
reason to note that he is not pletely
trusted. Ii is said that young Stanley
and other youngsters OF his class believe
in him and that the man who is so taci-
turn in parliament is charming COM

reason for repairing the road In the

kept out of 1t. The one great trouble
with our country roads IL that the water

win Leave Soon.

The first troops of the army for
the occupation of Cuba will leave
this country Oct. 20. Gen. Miles
says that this detachment will
consist OF about 5000 troops, to be
divided among regulars and inn
munes. These will te fol-
lowed from time to time by de-
tnchments to- fill out the $4,000
intended for the garrison of the
island. The first detachment will
report to Gen. Wade. 1t is not
admitted yet by the war depart
ment that Gen. Wade will be the
military governor of the island,
but it is generally thought he will
be. Gems. Lee and Carpenter
will be two of the commanders in
military divisions of the island.
This early announcement of the
destination of troops for Cuba is
due to the fact that the president
has sent the Spanish commission
an ultimatum that the authori-
ties at Washington would not
tolerate delay to Feb. IS, as
contemplated by the Spaniards,in
evacuating the island. The pres
ident considered Oct. 20 a reason
able time and will begin pcaceable
occupation then and will occupy
it by force if he is resisted.
