THE FIRST TENNESSEE.

The First Tennessee Regiment
is homeward bound at last The
Indiana sailed from Manila Mon
day with 43 officers and Gl0 men Of
the Tennessee Volunteers. There
were no sick left behind, which
shows the large proportion Of the
Tennesseeaps chat re-eulisted, and
there, too, Tennessee ranks as the
Volunteer State, for a larger per-
centage Of the enlisted men in the
regimenthave voluntarily re-enlist-
ed in the army than any other or
ganization which saw service in the
Philippines
The transport Indiana is rated at
the war department as moderately
fast, and as the voyage from Manila
to San Francisco usually occupies
about a month and four days, it is
probable that the Indiana will be
about a month in making the trip,
reaching San Francisco about the
9th of November.

Pruning the Ouince Tree.

One Of the reasons why ounce trees
do not produce more fruit is because
they are not pruned properly. Usually
there are about every neglected ounce
tree a number Of sprouts that start
either from the base of the trunk or
from injured roots near the tree. These
should be removed, and the work
should be Gone while the tree is in leaf,
as there will be less danger of new
sprouts starting up. Then when the
tree has been reduced to a single stem,
remove the short branches growing up
in a thicket in the center, Some Of
these may have fruit on. but do not
spare them for that. If the ounce
tree has been long neglected, there will
be more or less dead limbs. which have
been so long shaded by foliage above
them that they have died. All these
should be cut out. Air and light are as
necessary to the ounce as to any tree
that grows.

to stock, a husking bench, shown in
the second cut, will be convenient.
This is carried up alongside of a shock
which is tipped over on the bench.
The husker seats himself on the seat
and begins working the slower toward
him, and when he gets a bundle Of
convenient size it is bound and laid
aside, and so on until all is husked.
This prevents missing any, and it is
far more convenient to sit than to
kneel down in the mud or snow.
In hauling in the bundles I have
found it very convenient to load from
the rear part of the wagon by walking
up a running board, which hangs on
the rear of the rack and is dragged
along to the next shock all the time.
The rear post Of the hayrack should
be removed, and two short, stout cor
ner pieces nailed on just high enough
to not interfere with loading, but

place. Gate posts which have to sup
port a gate should be protected from

the gate and fastening in the post a
stake the length Of the trench and COW

better protection than stakes leaning

it up, as the stakes are themselves lift
