Pruning Ornamental Shrubs.

Shrubs may be pruned at any sea-
son wen the object is only The re-
moval of dead wood and other insight
ly parts. When living parts are to be
removed, however. the summer is pref
cradle, since wounds heal more read
lily during the growing season. When
the aim of pruning is the production of
flowers, greater care and judgment are
necessary. Shrubs that bloom in the
early months Of the year demand dif-
ferent treatment from those that bios
som in the late summer and early fall
months. The former develop their
flower buds during the season previous
to Towering and protect them by
means of bud scales, wax, down and
other devices during the winter. 1t
may be seen, therefore, that IL these
plants be pruned during the autumn.
winter or early spring, the crop of
flowers may be materially lessened.
If the late Towering species be pruned
during the summer the same result
may follow. Hence the rule, prune az
ter the blossoms fall. Many of the
subjects die back in the branch that
produces the flower head, leaving an
unsightly, whitening or dead part.
Other species seem slow to overcome
the effort made in flower production.
In any event the pruning done after
Towering will have the effect of pro-
ducing more thrifty growth and an
increased development of flower buds.
Lilac, Japan ounce, Towering currant
and other early boomers should be
pruned in early June; bydrangea,
burning bush, etc., late in the autumn,
or at latest before growth starts In
the spring. In fact, In the case of
all late Towering shrubs, particularly
IL not perfectly hardy, the pruning may
be postponed until the buds first be-
gin to swell in the spring. IN this
way the shrubs need be attended to on
ly once and at time when there will
be no danger OF cutting out Towering
wood, as might often be the case II
the pruning were done before cold
weather sets In.
Non-flowering shrubs may be hand
led In the same way as towering. with
the exception that evergreens must not

winter, since the wounds made dry

Soil Moisture ana Soil Stirring.

The Kansas Experiment Station is
studying the effect OF various modes
of soil treatment upon soil moisture.
That the well-known effect of mulch
can be approached by proper tillage OF
soil is a fact not as widely acted upon
as good farming dictates. One of the
station fields which contained in round
numbers &c per cent OF water in the
first foot of soil, on July z, 1898, had
one portion plowed, another disk-har-
rowed and a portion left untreated.
The ensuing dry weather in the course
Of four weeks, Notwithstanding several
light rains, reduced the moisture OF the
untreated part to Is per cent and that
Of the disked land to Is per cent, the
plowed ground retaining Il per cent.
The last two were in excellent condl-
ton for seeding, while the first would
pillow up lumpy and unsatisfactory.
The weight of an acre of the dry soil
to the depth of one foot may be taken
as 1000 tons. Each per cent of water
in soil to that depth represents about
sixteen tons of water per acre, or one
seventh of an inch. The water appar-
emily lost by the untreated soil was
176 tons per acre, equivalent to over
one and one-half inches of rain. This
is about one-half what the soil would
hold after a soaking rain. The real
loss was much more than this, since
as water escaped from the upper foot,
other would be drawn up from below
by capillary attraction. The figures
given are minimum quantities, there
! fore.
Stubble ground should unquestion-
ably be plowed while the moisture is
still in the soil. Experiments OF the
station show that simple blowing is
quite as effective for moisture con-
servation as any tillage yet tested. II
time does not permit blowing, the
| speedy work of the disk harrow COM
pares favorably in efficiency. In either
case If rain follows sufficient to start
the weeds, kill them with a harrow.
This will at the same time break up
any crust and preserve the soil mulch.
This treatment not only insures per-
| feet seed-bed for wheat in respect to
moisture. but the soil has time to set
tie to the firm condition so advan-
tageous to wheat, and the baroness,
warmth and moisture are most favor
able to the formation of nitrates from
organic matter. Nitrates are highly
important for successful wheat pro-
duction.

Conventions OF uortIculturlsts.

The convention season is at hand,
and a few words on the subject will
not be out of place. To those that
attend the manner of conducting such
conventions is Of prime Importance.
When people go long distance to at
tend such assemblies they usually do
it for the purpose Of learning new
things and better methods. This fact
should be constantly in the minds of
the officers. 1t too often occurs that
very large part of the time is taken UP
with routine work and in discussions
that are not instructive. We have
seen some unimportant amendment to
the constitution consume the entire
time of a session: we have seen a
fight" over officers take up another
session; we have seen the vindication
of some officer become the principal
topic in another session. We have at
tended conventions that were very
profitable by reason of good papers
and good discussions on horticultural
subjects. We have attended other con-
ventions that appeared more OF a
farce than anything else. From such
conventions we have gone away pain
fully impressed with the idea that the
people that had been to the expense
of coming from distance would prob
ably not do so again. The presiding
officer holds the situation largely in
his hands. If he be inert the work OF
the convention will lag, and foreign
topics will be allowed to consume the
precious hours. If he be energetic and
understand his business, the speakers
and those engaged in the discussions
will be held to the topics before the
convention, and much will be accom-
plished. Every presiding officer would
do we'll to study up on parliamentary
law.

Michigan Apple Crop.-E. c. REID,
secretary of the Michigan State Horti'
cultural Society, says: Although the
crop of Michigan winter apples is not
to be large one, nor in best of condi-
ton, it will be in excess of that OF
any state east of the Rocky mountains
and is already in exceedingly brisk de-
mand in the market. Everything OF
the apple kind in Michigan this year
will command a good price. Buyers
are already in the field for cider apples
and drying stock, many evaporators
having been erected within the state
by men who have been engaged in that
industry elsewhere. The early fall
fruit Is selling at what would be very
high prices in ordinary years. COM

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Maay Times neutrality-suspicious. a Fund

It's a good old saying, and true one
too, know all men by their works."
The public have been imposed upon so
many times by INSCRIPTIONS claims
made for selfish means of profit, they
look for something more substantial;
they ask for deeds. The little con-
queror has earned the reputation made
in Michigan and no imposter can steal
it. From north to south, from east to
west, in every city, town and hamlet
in the state, people stand ready to tes-
tify to merit. Gratitude for comfort
brought to thousands of homes brings
emphatic rejoicings and words of praise
the like of which has not been equalled
in modern times. Is it wonder the
name DoAN is familiar one in every
household? Is it surprising the public

will not be led astray by the ingenious
efforts of would-be competitors? A De-
troit citizen tells here why the name Of
