SUMMER PRUNING OR PINCHING.
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."'
