Pruning Fruit Trees.

Begin early in the life Of the tree 20
shape 1t. A young tree should consist
OF a central leader with the main
branches distributed evenly about it,
forming a wellbalanced head. On no
account should a tree be set with a de-
cided fork in the trunk. The point at
which limb should be removed j. just
at the upper part of the shoulder which

it joins the maiu trunk. II we cut
closely, the size of the wound is sinereas-
el without TO any appfeciable extent
decreasing the size Of the stub. II the
cutting is further from the tree, the scar
is still the same size aud long stab is
left, over which it will take a tree years
to grow.
If possible, avoid removing large
limbs, and the best way to do this is to
begin when the tree is young and prune
it Systematically and carefully. lit is
necessary to remove a large limb, use a
saw, cutting in a short distance from
th bottom first, then saw down from
above, and the limb can be removed
without fear Of splitting eff below.
Large wounds should be smo0thed over
with a knife, then cover. d with gum
shellac dissolved in alcohol.
Ia a general way, summer pruning
promotes fruitfulness, while, if wood
growth is desired, prune in winter The
explanation OF this is that great growth
and great fruitfulness DO not 90 to-

degree Of maturity before 1t viii pro-

il, By summer pruning, part Of tie
branch is removed, the growth is check
ed, and as the part removed lessons the
demand for plant food, it can be devot-
ed t. the production Of fruit buds. If
the tree is allowed TO 90 into winter
quarters undisturbed at the end Of the
season, the roots and tops are in a sort
OF equilibrium, or balance each other.
Now if during the dormant period a
considerable part Of the top is cut of,
a strong pressure Of sap Is brought to
bear on the remaining buds and a great
er supply Of nourishment is furnished
for the growth Of each. The result is
a large growth Of wood, and when the
time comes the following season for the
formation Of fruit buds, plant food is
not abundant, and few blossoms are
produced.

HAVE FOUND A
NEW KLOND|KE
Ungavaland, on the Shores Of the Hud-

Mineral Wealth.

Minneapolis, Oct. 1.-The Times pub
fishes a letter from a correspondent at
Fort Francis, Ontario, under date Of
Sept. 20, which says:
''Ungavaland a region as desolate
and unknown as the Klondike was four
years ago, has just been penetrated by
party of prospectors. headed by a
newspaper man of this region and a
party consisting mostly of men
representing a wealthy Boston syndi-
cate From the reports and from state

klondike, and one richer in diversified
minerals, of larger extent and easy to
reach compared to the ice deserts of
the. Yukon.
About a year ago j. A. Osborne, ed
itor of a newspaper of this region, be-
came the possessor of a diary that had
been the records of an old employe Of
the Hudson Bay company. He was as
tonished to find it told circumstantially
of the discovery Of mineral deposits on
the eastern shores of Hudson bay, north
from Whaler river, in what is known
as Ungavaland, one of the last remain

Before returning the party found
large and valuable deposits of gold,
silver, copper. iron, anthracite and lig-

London, Oct mot the faintest hint

cerned matters have not advanced
since Friday.
It is noticeable that not even the
Brussels agency of the Transvaal gov-

latest note to the press. The silence
maintained on both sides is regarded
as ominous.
From South Africa the news is Who'll

trains are being turned back. Tele-

London, Oct. 2.--The Pretoria corre-

graphing at noon Sunday, says:
I have seen the leading members of
the executive of the Transvaal, who
desire through the Daily Chronicle, at

kindred nations are going to fight
about. They point to the fact that a
large number of outlanders of all ma
tionalities are arming in defense in the
Orange Free State, which, they say.
should make England pause.
They aim at a union with England
like that of Scotland, not Ireland, and
they urge that 1t will be war like the
war which lost England her American
colonies and that it will benefit neither
the English nor the capitalists.
The greatest excitement prevails here
Thirty-six trains with armed burghers
were dispatched Saturday amid pathet-
ic scenes. Thousands of refugees,
whites, Malayas and Kaffirs have gone
to the Cape in open trucks. Strict or
ders have been issued to the Boer COM
manders on the frontier to restrain
their men from firing; The rains have
begun to fall and plenty of forage will
soon be obtainable.
