Pruning the plum Trccs.

old plum trees do not produce as good
quality fruit as a rule as the younger
trees and sometimes become very in
ferior and unproductlye. In many cases
the old trees would be benefited by Sc
we're cutting back, and besides that, it
wouil be well to keep the plum tree in
better training than has been the usu-
al practice in the west; cutting back
the long and spreading branches, ana
compelling them to head in short and
close to the trunk. This might not be
good practice for all varieties, and il
would be well to undertake it with
some care, selecting some few individu-
ais and noting the effect Of such prun-
ing upon them-Rural World.

Timothy and Glover Ia,

Timothy hay is the one most COM

In the market, according to PennSyl-
vanla bulletin. Timothy sells for a
higher price In the market than other
hay, and IS regarded as being parttcu.
larry adapted to horses. 1t is deficient
in protein, and for that reason should
be fed with a grain ration of nitro
genOus nature. For horses no better
basis for ration can be found than
timothy hay and oats. 1t is less yalu-
able for cattle and sheep. Glover hay
is next to timothy in common use, aud
the two are more often found mixed
than either is found alone The nitro
genous nature of the clover aids in

the timothy. Clover is more valuable
than, timothy for cattle and sheep, but
is not considered so satisfactory for
