Jam, PRUNING. BY JOHN H., LONC. 11U0. Pruning trees like making good bread is an art not to be learned through books and newspapers, but through individual stuuy and experience. Trees differ so much in their fonn and habit of growth and the uses wo re quire them for, as well as the diversity of the soil and climate, that it is plain no mere the ory will be adapted to all couditious and tastes of the planter. Add to this too many of our horticultural writers are mere theorist, own not an acre, and have no practical ex perience, aud their ideas often derived from reading foreign publications that form the diversity of soil and climate of Europe are not well suited to this country. You may ask if mere theory is worth so little why does the writer put his pen to paper. The reply is very much like the Friends say when they have performed a religious duty, "done for the peace and satisfaction of my uicn mind. But about pruning we will take up the ap ple first. Some writers will tell you to cut off all the limbs half way when transplanted; we say not, for if you do the head will be tilled with treble the number of shoots that are wasted to grow, and next year you will have to cut most of them off. Apple trees differ so much in the form of their growth that no rule but good judgment will apply. Some, if they have plenty of good roots, will only need thinning ont all the inner branches and twigs, leaving only three or tour main limbs, such as you wish to remain and form a good head. We believe the buds of last year's growth are touch the strongest on all trees, possess more vitality and it is unwise to cut ail the young wrowth off as some do. Having so trimmed the branches with a reference to the future shape of the tree when first planted, it will need but little trimming again in several years, except to remove young suckers, if any come. Apple trees should be so shaped by prunings that a per son can climb with ease through the'branches near the body and take his basket with him. This is the ideal of a perfectly shaped tree. A tree can be trimmed too much for its health and longevity, too many of the little spray and small branches cut away, but it is seldom done. Cherry trees, we generally let alone with the exception of properly shaping the head when first planted and alwayshaving reference to the number and size of the roots. And we may remark it is better to stake and tie trees when planted, if deficient in roots, than to mutilate the top of fruit trees too mnch. In pruning ornamental deciduous trees, we should be governed by the shape we wish them to take. If we want thick bushy trees, that will give a densa shade around the dwelling, then we should cut back severely. The American Elm may be'trim med to a bare pole and so may the Maples, except the Norway, which is dense enough naturally without any assistance from art. But if they are for avenues or for street plant ing, where a quick, upright growth iswanted, then thinning out the inner branches near the trunk is all that is necessary. Where trees are liable to have their branches torn and split by the high winds, like the White Or Silver leaf Maple, forming them into round heads by cutting one-halfback all the leading branches when young will obviate this troub le. If we wish our Larches to grow tall and wide spreading, we may cut out the small branches; but we think the beauty of the Larch, especially the European, which is so far superior to the American that the latter should never be planted for ornament, is in its compactness of growth. A Larch that has been trimmed back to one-half of its length of branches, when transplanted, is one of the most beautiful trees for three months we have seen. Evergreens should be porn cd by the nurseryman before they are sold, and then the planter will have little eke to do but take good care of them. While we ad mire the lofty head of the deciduous shade tree with its wide-spread sweeping branches, a neat, compact evergreen suits most persons best. We like symmetry of shape more than we care for exuberance of growth or a great size. An occasional White Pine lifting its head above the surrounding trees is a striking object in a landscape, but we want but few in our yards. The r.eat dark green of the Bal sam Fir. short lived though it be, will cause it still to be planted for immediate effect. They, if planted in moist soils, and the lead ing top-shoot cut off, will retain their beauty many years. Few are aware how evergreen trees can be changed in torm and habit by judicious use of the shears. The tendency of the Fir is to run np tall and lose its lower branches. By cutting off the leading shoot occasionally, to prevent this habit, it is a tree of beauty quite desirable. The Norway Spruce can be made to grow nearly as we wish. By sum mer pruning one-half of the young growth, it will throw out an abundance of young buds, and in a year or two an open young tree be converted into a very close growing one. Early in the summer is the best time to trim evergreens, or in truth any other tree, if we have time to attend to it, as the wound soon heals over and the buds betow will be in creased and strengthened. In selecting Spruce trees we should be governed by the form we want them to assume. If for pic turesque effect, then select trees of drooping habit, whose limbs sweep down towards the ground. As Spruces are all seedlings, and each differs in some way from the other, we can have them, by a little carc and pruning, to assume the shape we want. By cutting off the leader repeatedly they will spread wide over the ground; or by shearing them annu ally they become round as a top. But Hem lock bears the shears the best of any of the Amcr;can Evergreens we are acquainted with, it pruned in summer while in active growth. W>i can form it into a low bcantiful hedge, a round compact tree, its lowest branches resting on the ground like a cone; or we can elevate ;i amoDg the tallest trees, a compeer to the V hite pine. Pines are pruned by cat ting off, in summer, one-half or more of the centra! shoot. If this is done at tho proper time, frequently young buds will start beneath. This is frequently necessary to keep the up per branches from extending beyond the low er, as this spoils the shape. Most people want an evergreen to branch low and slope gradually and evenly to the top. I here is not as much attention given to pruning shrubs as there should be. Neat ness and compactness of form is most com patible to abundance of flowers, and if by fi -'i v -ent cuttings they become deformed or i throw them away and plant young ~a V e s: kere one likes variety, some va r'k trained up to a single stalk, >"e a tree, all s :<j e s b o ots cut away.

BY J. U. NSNC.IVROX, IROXTON, o. Much has been written about pear trees, and a stranger to their habits might think they were a sickly and uncertain kind of tree. I fear that beginners will be discouraged. My plan is to plant and keep planting. If one blights I cut it back, expecting in most in stances that it will entirely recover and run blight again for many that some of yonr readers may correct if they can. After all that has been said abont blight, I don't know of any case where it destroyed twenty-five per cent of an orchard of a hundred trees. In most cases only a few. Now shall we be discouraged because ci few darlings are blighted. My remedy for blight is plant. If one dies I plant two, if two die I plants four. If it should be said they are costly, I reply that I get them when small and keep them on hand ready to set aut. I don't believe blight is contagious. It don't como ofleD, even in the low land. — Gardener's Monthly. Plttmuww*. WHT are jokes like nuts ? Because the dryer they are, the better they crack.

A Miller in giving a testimonial to the pro prietor of a powder for destroying vermin, astounds us with the assertion: "A fortnight since I was full of rats, and now I don't think I have one." "AM I not a little pale?" inquired a lady ; who was short and corpulent, of a crusty old j bachelor. "Yoc look more like a big tub," was the blunt reply. SIR WALTER SCOTT meeting a beggar, who . importuned him for sixpence, the great un known not having one, gave him a shilling, adding, with a laugh, "Mind now, sir, you owe me a sixpence."

"MY dear," said a rural wife to her hus band, on his return from town, "what was the sweetest thing you saw in bonnets in the city?" "The ladies' faces, my love."

Bridget! why don't you bring up the lemonade ?" B&id Mrs. S., on the Fourth of July, from the top of the kitchen stairs. "Why, inarm," said Bridget wiping the sweat from her red face with her checked apron, as she put her head round the staircase partition, "why, marm, you see the ice I put in the lemonade is so hard that it hasn't melted yet, though it's stir ring it over the fire I've been for the last fif teen minutes or more.

THACKERAY used to tell of an Irishwoman begging alms from him, who, when she saw him put his hand in his pocket, cried out, "May the blessing of God follow you all your life !" but wheri he only pulled out his snuff box, immediately added: "and never over take ye." "JOHN," said a gentleman to his servant, "I am going to church, and if it should rain, I wish you would come with the umdrella tor me; however, you need not come unless it should rain downright." The gentleman went. It did rain; but John had gone to the other end of the town to see Mary. Hismas ter came back with drenched garments, and a look of implacable anger. "John," said he, "Why didn't you bring the umbrella?" "Because, sir," replied John' "it rained slanting." TRYING TO DECIDE. —A traveller stopped at a public house in Maine for the purpose of getting dinner, knocked, but received no an swer. Going in, he found a little white-head ed man in the embrace of his wife, who had his head under her arm, wh'.le with the other she was giving her little lord a pounding. Wishing to put an end to the fight, our trav eller knocked on the table, and cried out iu a loud voice, "Halloa, here! who keeps this house ?" The husband, though much out of breath, answered : "Stranger, that's what we are trying to decide." DCST AND GIRLS. —A few Sabbaths since Eda was allowed to go to Sabbath school, her first time, and there she learned the startling intelligence that she was made of dust. Little Eda's mind was fully im pressed with the importance of the great truth, as was evinced by her frequent refer ence to the subject in the shape of questions unanswerable. One morning, however she propounded a stunner, which brought down the house. Intently watching her mother sweeping, as if to learn the art she must finally practise, saying not a word, her eye rested on the little heap of dirt accumulated by her mother's broom. Just as the dirt was to be swept into the street, the little philos opher burst forth with, "Ma, ma! why don't you save the dust to make some more little girls?" ' SAM, are you one of the Southern chivalry?" "No, tnassa, I'so one of the Southern shovelry. I shoveled dirt at Dutch op CanaL" THE essence of true nobility is neglect of self. Let the thought of self pass in and the beauty of action is gone, like the bloom from a soiled flower. IT is not until the flower has fallen off that the fruit begins to ripen. So in life it is when romance is past that practical use fulness begins. fJlfcjtlbutejm*. NEW YQR !K~CO LUM N "QOSTAR'S" PREPARATIONS. EVERYBODY— TBIES TIIEM. EVERYBODY— USES THEM.
