Very little summer pruning is done with

Is that all the fruit is made on wood

enough of this should ALWAYS be left TO

As no very explicit directions can be given
for pruning i'm all cases, every grower
must exercise his own intelligent judg-
ment in the matter. If bones have been
used as directed a shovelful of wood ashes

1t is either the very early crops or the

gardener. There is too much competition
with the medium crops to warrant them in
paying much.
The gardener that would derive the
highest profits from his ventures must
Pave very early and very late crops, it

cabbage, or celery, or cucumbers, or corn

Even turnips are a profitable crop when

For Superior Court Judge by the Republican
State Committee.
The Republican State Committee met
in Philadelphia Tuesday last and nomi-
mated William David Porter, of Pittsburg,
who was recently appointed by Governor
Hastings to take place of the the late
Judge Wickham, as the candidate for
Superior Court Judge.
The only other business transacted was
the adoption of a resolution requesting
the State Chairman to appoint sub
committee to take steps to secure for the
soldiers at the front the right to vote.
Complete harmony prevailed and the
meeting lasted only about an hour. Col.
William A. Stone and four other candi-
dates on the State ticket were introduced
after the meeting. They made brief ad-
dresses.
In calling the Committee to order
Chairman John p. EIkin congratulated
the Republicans CT the State on the
splendid outlook for an aggressive and
successful campaign. THE election in
November" he said, sis one of the most
important in which the voters vf this
State have been called upon to partici-
pate for many years. We have long
list of the most important officers to elect
with twenty eight Congressman and the
Legislature that choose United States
Senator. When such great party inter-
ests are involved, we should and will
present a united front 70 the common
enemy. In this campaign there should not
be Quay Republicans nor anti-Quay Re-
publicans. but all should be Republicans
in the broadest and most comprehensive
sense"
