ORCHARD PRUNING.

While it is always one Of the busiest
periods Of the year, the best time for
pruning in TIE orchard is during April,
May and June, as during these months
Gears that are made most quichly heal
over, thereby lessening the possibility
that the process Of decay will set in at
the point Of cutting and thus weaken
the tree II the limb cut of is more
than an inch in diameter it Is well to
paint the cut with white lead and oil.
All limbs removed should be cut as
close as possible to the trunk or main
branch, while in removing one OF two
limbs it is well to remove the one which
will leave the cut on the lower side Of
the main branch rather than the upper
and on the side away from the center Of
the tree rather than on that toward it.

THROWN FROM CARRIAGE.

One day last week while coming to
town from her home, Mrs. Walter
Hammond met with an accident which
might have proven very serious As
sue came to the railroad, a train was
coming in and the fisgmsn waved to
her to not come any nearer She seems
to have misunderstood his caution for
she came on. AS it was on down
grade, she was unable to stop her horse
when she saw how close the train was
to her The fsgman ran out in front
Of the horse and waved his flag in It's
face in order to keep it from running
on the track. This frightened the ami
NAL, which swerved sharply and threw
Mrs. Hammond from the carriage. The
vehicle passed over her body causing
very painful bruises.
