There is no one point in horticulture about which there has been more discussion than that of summer pruning, and those who ad rocate, and those who condemn it, stand in about the same relation as they did years ago each the more confirmed in his own opin ion. We consider it useful or injurious, ac cording to the manner in which it is done, and the subjects upon which it is practiced. To allow a tree to make vigorous shoots and then cut them away in summer, or to pinch the young shoots without any thought of the effect, so long as something is pinched, will, like ali other hap hazard work, be likely to result in serious injury. Summer pruning is done, in the first place, to regulate the form of the tree. Dwarf trees, especially, may be so managed by nibbing out a tew needless shoots here, and stopping the growth of another there, that there need seldom be any pruning done. Nip out the growing point with the thumb and finger und the branch will cease to elongate: but after a while the buds upon the shoot will push, and when these have made a few leaves, they must be pinched in the same manner. Ihe growth from buds and grafts is often very vigorous; that from buds often runs up as a long, suc culent wand, hardly trong enough to support itself, and with but little disposition to form side shoots. By pinching at a proper height, the buds along the sides will start, and with a little attention a low-headed, shapely tree many be had. that will not need to be cut to pieces in order to bring it into proper form when'planted. Another use of pinching is to throw the tree into bearing. It is now a well received opinion that whatever threatens the life of u tree tends to induce fruiting; hence we hear of trees being made to bear by hacking them with an axe, by root pruning etc. When the development usually sets about making fruit buds, instead of leaf buds. Pinching dwarf pear trees, the shoot from the bud at the end of a branch is allowed to grow, and those starting along the sides of the branch are pinched back to three leaves. If shoot 3 start Irom those that have been pinched, nip them back to two leaves. Ihe leading shoot is shortened as many be desir ed, after growth is over, ihe formation of fruit buds upon dwarf pears and apples is hastened by pinching. — Irom the American Agriculturist. GRAPE-RAISING. People who have large gardens where tbey raise a good deal of everything, have their work doue in the best manner, and the con sequence is that crops are almost always cer- i tain and abundant. Erom the amount of la bor bestowed upon these gardens and the high state of cultivation in which they are kept, failure is next to impossible. This is as much the case with the grape crop as any other. When vines for planting are careful ly selected,planted rightly in ground express ly provided, and cut back for the first two years, nicely trellised, and then pruned on the renewal system, a good crop will be gath ered unless the various enemies of the grape, as is the case now aud then, get ahead of all precautions in the way of prevention and measures to destroy them should they ap. pear. But where there are only 9mall gardens or yards, and when the production of fruit is not particularly attended to, and the grape-vine left to run at random or improperly pruned, a good crop is scarcely ever obtained. For a vine allowed to gc at large over a tree will yield for a year or two plenty of grapes, but after that they become smaller in size, dimin ished in quality, and grow higher and higher up the tree until they are worthless. It there fore behooves every one who phxntß a grape vine to give it the necessary attention and thus insure a crop of good fruit, barring un favotable seasons and unmanageable enemies. —Oermanioicn Telegraph. SLOW-FRUITING TREES. It is a common belief that dwarf pear trees come iuto bearing earlier tiian the standard. With us this has not been the case. Our standards are equally as early. We have several vaticties of standard that commenced bearing the second year and have borne ever since. We have dwarfs planted from four to fourteen years that have never borne a single specimen. We have other dwarfs that frui ted the second year and then stopped. We have the standard Buerre d' Anjou planted in 1858 and now for the first time show a few sper-mens. Vi e have ben often asked of iate if we were not tired of dwarfs and had changed car opin ion about them, and our answer has uniformly been in the negative. We think as highly of them now as we ever did, but we should not plant them promiscuously. We would not select many varieties, as some never bear at all, and others give but poor satisfaction. The list published periodically in the Ger mantoicn Telegraph is selected from an expe rieuce of twenty-five years, andean scarcely be improved on. \\ e shall continue to culti vate dwarfs along borders and little spare spots where a standard would .be too large, and give them the same care that we would a crop of cabbages; but we shall set out only such varieties as have proved to be long-lived and productive.— Germantoirn Telegraph. CLEANSE YOUR PREMISES. The warm weather is here, and it behooves every citizen to cleanse his premises of all of fensive matter in order that they may become pure and healthy. There is no doubt at all that a great deal of the sickness visiting fam ilies proceeds from filthy cellars: yards, out- Jiouses, styes, Ac. 1 hese things are neglect ed by many as are other duties from pure thoughtlessness, while others never dream of paying any attention to them. There are several remedies for this most unhealthy condition of things that can be easily applied. Ihe lirst is to put one pint of the liqnor of chloride of zinc in one bucketfuil of water, add one pound of chloride of lime, another bucketful of water, and sprinkle over de cayed vegetable matter. For this purpose nothing surpasses it; indeed it is a perfect deodorizer. Ihe second is to take four pounds of sulphate of iron or copperas and dissolve it in a bucketful! of wster. This will in most cases prove a sure remedy in destroying all offensive odors. The third is to take simple chloride of iron and sprinkle in damp cellers, heaps of filth, dirty yards. Ac. Ac. lb, labor of cleansing one's premises by ct tor re of these remedies is trifling, and t e ig not worth mentioning If it were ' E r eater, both the labor and expense siouu ,>e willingly incurred.— Germantown Tclcqraph. FRUIT garden. As soon as a jduai or cherry knot can be . i. ccrut' swelling out, cat it away and born ten you gee any sjg n 0 f change ; n color on the bark of your F ear trees, cut away and Jrnrn that also. And when you see any black marks on the leaves of apple trees, livid spots On the grape foliage, or any change whatever from the normal hue, cut away and burn the whole thing. By this means shall you pre vent their seeding—and thus only can you ever keep in check a scourge which is really, in some neighborhoods, a mighty obstacle to success. So with insects: as a soldier would say, they must be attacked directly in front. Strategy is of not much use. Hand picking, tree shaking, and collecting grubs and larvae, must be the chief reliance the practical man. He who has not •'time" to attend to these things, will have to bny his fruit of those who have. It seems hardhearted to pronounce such a doom, but we feel it to be a truth; and the sooner all realize it the better if it roust be.— The Gardener's Monthly. A LADY who held a glass of water in her hand, said —"Oh, if it were only wicked to drink this, how nice it would be." MRS. PARTINGTON has come to the con clusion that there is no use trying to catch soft water when it rains so hard. i'How did you get rid of that troublesome lover ofyour,s Carrie?" "Ob, I married bim, and haven't been troubled with his attentions since." IK you ate a lover, don't love two girls at once. Love is a good thing' but it is liko butter in warm weather —it won't do to have too much on hand at one time. "CUARI.EY, I was very much shocked to hear you singing' Pop goes the Weasel,' in church." "Well, mamma. I saw everybody was sing ing, and it was the only tune I knew." A MAS in telling about a wonderful parrot hanging in a cage from the window of a house which he often passed said, "it cries "stop thief so naturally that every time I hear it, I always stop!" PAI-A: "Well, sissy, how do you like your new school ? 'Sissy: "Oil, so muts." Papa: "That's right. Now tell nte all you have learned to-day." Sissy : "I have learned the names of all the boys." AN editor out West says he would as soon try to get to sea on a shingle, make a ladder of fog, chase a streak of lightning through a crab-apple orchard, swim heels first up Niagara river, or set Lake Erie on fire with a wet match, as to stop lovers getting married When they take it into their heads to do so. A I.AD in Troy was directed by his mother, a few days since, to saw some old rail-road ties, from which much of the family fuel was supplied. After listening to the sound of the saw and axe a few minutes, the lady noticed a period of silence in the yard. Stepping out, she found the lad sitting contemplatively upon the wood pile, and asked him promptly what was the matter. He rose slowly from his seat, placed his band upon his breast, and assuming a dramatic attitude and expression of countenance, replied: "My dear mother, I find it hard, very hard, to sever old ties." WELL TOLD. —"The next morning the judge of the police court sent for me. I went down and he received me cordially, had heard of the wonderful things 1 had accomplished by knocking down five persons and assaulting six others, and was proud of me. I was a promising young man, and all that. Then be offered a toast, 'Guilty, or not guilty.' I re sponded in a brief but eloquent speech, set ting forth the importance of the occasion that had brought us together. After the usual ceremonies I was requested to lend the city ten dollars." THE Hartford Post is responsible for the story of a conductor on a road not a thousand miles from Hartford, who had agreed, in the kindness of his heart, to pass a poor penni less fellow on his train. An officer of the road sitting in the same car with the man ob served that the conductor took no fare from him, and called him to account for it. "Why do yon pass that man ?" said the Treasurer. "Oh, he's a conductor on the railroad." "He's a conductor I why what makes him dress so shabbily!" "Oh, he's trying to live on his salary 1" was the quick reply. The Treasurer saw the point and dropped the sub ject. JONES was, or belieyed he was near bis death, and the doctor calling, be held a long and earnest conversation with him about his chances of life. "Why, man," said the physician, "you are likely to die any hour. You have been living for the last fifteen years without a constitution —lungs gone, liver diseased, and all that sort of thing." "You don't mean to say," replied Jones, questioning!}-, "that a man can live for fif teen yeats without a constitution ?" "Yes, I do," retorted the doctor, "aud you are an example"" "Then, doctor," and a bright smile illu minated the pallid face of the doomed man, "then doctor, I'll go it ten years more on the by-laws," and he did. A WITNESS.—A Yankee, having told an Englishman that he had shot, on one partic ular occasion, nine hundred and ninety-nine snipe; bis interlocutor asked him why he didn't make it a thousand at once. '•No," said he, -'not likely I'm going to tell a lie for one snipe." Whereupon the Englishman rather 'riled.' and determined not to be outdone, began to tell a long story of a tnan having swam from Liverpool to Boston. "Did you see him ?" asked the Yankee. "Well, of course I did. I was coming across, and our vessel passed him a mile out of Boston harbor." "Well, I'm glad you saw him, stranger, 'cos yer a witness that I did it. That was me!" To hear Gough tell the "drugger" story is worth a quarter at any time. The story is a capital one, but it takes the man to tell it. This he does in some such words as these: A long, lean, gaunt Yankee entered a drug store and asked. "Be you the drugger?" "Well, 1 s'pose so, I sell drugs." "Waal, hev you got any uv this here scent iu' stuff as the gals put on their henkechers?" "0, yes." "Waal, our Sal's gwine to be married, and she gin me ninepence and told me to invest the hull amount io scenten stuff, go's to make her sweet, if I conld find some to suit; so if you've a mind I II just smell round." The Yankee smelled round without being suited until the druggist got tired of him; and takin down a bottle of hartshorn, said: "I've got a scentin' stuff that will suit you. A single drop on your handkerchief will stay for weeks, and you can't wash it out, but to get the strength of it you must take a big smell." "Is that so, Mister? Waal just hold on a minute till I get my breath, and when I say neow, you put it under my smeller." The hartshorn of course knocked the Yan kee down, as liquor has done many a man. Do you suppose he got up and smelt again, as the drunkard does? Not he; but rolling up his sleeves and doubling up his fists he said: "You made me smell that tarnal everlastin' stuff, Mister, and now I'll make you smell fire and brimstone."'
