"At what time aheuld fruit treea be pruned ?" was the question next discussed. Henry M. Eagle said If you wish te prune for irullfullneaa you aheuld de se when the foliage I en the tree. If ler weed prune when the foliage Is ett. A vigorous growing tree la generally net a geed bearer. A puny grower aheuld be encouraged net te bear tee freely hut te grew weed. Treea of an up right habit aheuld be pruned se at te Induce them te spread ; If the tree be of apresding habit It aheuld be pruned se at te induce It te grew mere upright. The habits of treea are ae various that no rule for pruning could be given In a abort paragraph. Caspar Hitler aald If we did what was right when the trees were young we would net have te prune mush. Twe branches or mere aheuld net bs allowed te Urt out from the same point en the trunk ; four of five main branches are enough for any young frntt tree ; If further pruning la needed It aheuld be done by thinning out the upper branches. Many treea are ruined by allow ing aeveral large limb te start from the trunk together and grew aa thick or thicker than a man's arm, and then having one or mere of them aawed out te give room for the ethers te grew. Treea thus treated are apt te go Inte early decay. Jehn O. Kuab and President Liuda briefly gave their viewa en the subject. BBNklrlTS OF IBBIOATION. "Te what extent etn irrigation be used with profit en our farms?" Mr. HUleranawered that under our ayatem of farming, Irrigation laet very little account. Our land la tee aleping, our valleya tee irreg ular te make Irrigation profitable. There are bnt few places in our county where one can get mera than an acre or two of meadow land, and it will net pay te go te the expense of Irrigation en ae ainall a scale. On the great plalna or the West where river may be made te overflow hundred! of thousand of acres, It la of oeurae different, and Irrigation la profitable. ANTI DISCRIMINATION IN FRBIOHTS. The resolutions offered by Jehnsen Miller at laat meeting or the society relative te rail road discrimination, the consideration of which waa poatpened te give Hen. Themas Dudley, of New Jersey, an opportunity te deliver an address en the tariff queatlen, ware called up by Preaident Land la. Mr. Miller aald be waa net prepared te die. coal the queatlen te-day; Orator April matters and ether business bad prevented him from giving mueb attention te the matter, and he bad even forge; ten te day te bring a oepy or tne resolution along with him. He sug gested that Mr. Brealu open the discussion and perbapa after be bad given but view, be Blight have aemttbing te aay. Mr. Brealua declined, saying that Mr. Millar was very anxious te have the matter discussed at laat meeting and ought te be ready te give hi viewa new.

JtMfed, Teat a copy of tbaaa resolutions be terwarded te our representatives, William Chandler, of Drumore, moved the adoption et the resolutions, and made a geed speech la favor of antldlsorlmtnatleo.

President Lsndls gave his views en the aubjeet In a long and carefully prepared ad dress In whleh sll ths Iniquities of the rail rail read manager were exposed, lie said the people el Pennsylvania have ter years been asking relief from the unjust discrimination under whleh they have been auflerlng, and have been contemptuously relused. Thsy have appealed In vain te their legislators te ensct a law te oetnpol the railroads toeimply with article 17 of the constitution. It I the Imperative duly el tne legislature te pass aueh a bill, and yet at the demand et the rallreal beisea they refuse te de se. Kver ineeth adoption kel the present con stitution the railroad have defiantly vio lated It and have been upheld In tbelr viola viela viola tlena by legtslsters who had sworn te support tbe constitution. At last the loud demande of tbe people compelled tbe politicians te premts te pass an antl-dlscrlmtnstlen law. And what have they done T The Henate baa passed a bill which Is sn outrage en common deeency. Initead of enforcing the prevision of the constitution it offers a premium for their violation. Ita aappertera framed it In the Interest of the railroad. They knew It te be unconstitutional, and that tt will be ae declared by the courts a seen aa it reaehee them ; and that la Just what tbe railroad want ; for aa seen as lta unconstitutionality la declared, they will be Just where they are new, without any law te restrain them. Mr. Landl aald he did net believe that any geed lawyer would stake hi reputation by declar ing that he believed the Senate bill constitu tional. Mr. Lsndls eltnd the lawa of twenty twenty twenty Ixoflheitateaef the Union enforcing anti anti discriminateon and ether proper check against the railroad, and demanded that Pennsylvania should be similar protected. Mr. Kngle aald he was much pleased with with what Mr. Chandler and Preaident Landlabadaaldse well. Aa bs could add nothing te their argument be would aay nothing. SOMBTIIINO ON TUP. OTIIRR SIDR. Wm.

Mr. Hreslus said he bad listened te men who had spent their lives In the study of thltgreit problem and he found there was ruu.'h te learn yet. While we are talking abaut anti-dlscrlmlra-tlen deals are going en among the great rail road line with a probability that the Penn sylvania, the Raadlng and tbe Ililtlmere &. Onte will seen bs consolidated and absorb tbe smaller reels.

Mr. Landla aald he knew the railroad would attempt te make the new law odious te the people ae that lta repeal might be accom plished. Tne question being called en Mr. i.lnvllle's resolution Mr. Hreslus again Interpesed ob jection. Ths Seuate bill would certainly pass ; It Is an administration measure, and te pasa resolutions of Instruction te our repre entatlve might putaotuieftnetn In unpleas ant relations with ths administration. Mr. Landl said he believed (lev. Beaver waa an honest man and would net put bis name te an unconstitutional bill, passed In the Interests et the railroads. Charles J. Rbedea aald It waa the easiest thing In the world te pas resolution, but they aoldem did much geed. There were some geed paint In President Landla' peecb and some net ae geed. If thla society wants te give Instructions te their legislate they aheuld tell them Just what they want. Let loot et the member here frame an antl dis crimination bill and aend it te Harrlaburg, se that our members may be advised as te whst tbey ought te da Mr. Rhodes then gave some Illustration te ahew that ahert baula are much mere expensive te railroad com panies than long enm, owing te the frequent starting and steppings, which break up tbe care and tbe track vastly mere than by run ning right along. The queatlen was then tsken en the adop tion of Mr. Llnvllle'a resolution and they were carried by s unanimous vote.

New Terh Market, from the Tobacco Journal. An even run of business was noticeable in the market this week.

When we refer te tbe Iieclaretlen of Independence It strike me that Independence would tw a geed thing for Ireland. When they transport an Irlsbmau te KDgland for trial, and call It a trial by a Jury et his peers, 1 think it is time for the people te declare tbelr independence.
