Pruning.
There is, perhaps no subject in horticulture
si) little understood as the principles upon
which pruidng is founded. The object in prim
ing fruit trees is chivliy to hasten or regulate
the crop of fruit,and induce or retard the devel
opment of wood growth. ith reference to
the former, more depends upon summer prun
ing and disbudding Trees are frequently bar
ren froui excessive growth, which is weakened
by pruning^luring .summer. It is a well under
stood fact among scientific cultivators, that
summer pruning weakens, and winter pruning
strengthens the wood growth. Hence the | r.ic
tice of nurserymen iu pruning young trees after
the season's growth is completed, to increase
their luxuriance
Trees that have arrived at a bearing state,
if properly managed during growth, would
probably require no winter pru ing, unless the
removal of large and misplaced branches In
the abstract, it seems a negative practice to
encourage a luxuriant growth, and then cut it
down in winter. It is quite possible to man
age trees without having recourse to winter
pruning, unless for special objects, as already
alluded to. It is certain that much injury is
inflicted by the indiscriminate use of the saw
and pruning knife, at this time, especially on
young bearing trees.
Make it a study, next season, to disbud and
summer prune all growing trees, so that you may
weaken and check the wood ; pruning such
trees now increases their vigor, since, by dimin
ishing the branches after the fall of the leaves,
the roots gain a greater preponderance. On
the other hand, it is no less necessary, to pre
vent weakness from over-bearing. Since the
introduction of tlie dwarfing system by grafting
on weak growing stocks, this error has been
frequently committed, and unprofitable trees
have been the result. It has also had a ten
dency to throw discredit on the system,by those
who from want of knowledge and experience,
have been unsuccessful in cultivation. There
are many kinds, naturally of slender growth—
grafting them on slow growing stock induces
fiuilfulness, and represses wood growth to an
injurions extent. Such trees should have blos
soms picked ff that appears in spring, all
growth carefully retained during summer, and
pruned down in winter. Such treatment will
be followed by increased vigor, which may be
maintained by taking moderate crops, and con
tinued good cultivation.
So much depends upon individual peculiari
ties in trees, that it is difficult to form a defi
nate rule that would serve as a safeguard to
the uninitiated. Close observation,extended ex
perience, and, at least, a si i ft lit knowledge of
physiology, are indispensable requisites to the
successful cultivation Of fruits,— Horticulturist.
MANAGEMENT or DAIRY CATTLE.—In tiio first
place it is necessary to have a comfortable j
stable for the nijrht and a well sheltered place j
both from the fallinp: weather and cold winds!
during the day. The feeding should be rogu-j
!ar and judicious, the yard should have a good j
supply of clean fresh water, rook salt and burn
ed and pouritied bones in a box, convenient for
tlie cattle to supply themselves with phosphat- j
ic matter, which is frequently deticient in the J
food they consume,to such an extent as to drive
t-ultle to pick up raw bones and chew tliem for ,
hours at a loss of time when they ought to eat
vegetable matter, and at a risk of their lives. |
I find a southern exposure of a bafn, a cat
tle or dung-vard, with a ten foot board fence
and chicken house, to keep off the north-west i
winds, a pig house, and high gate, to keep off
the east and north-east winds, and a wall on
the south, four or five ghigh, with a rail
fence on top, shelter for the cattle to keep
dry, a fountain of running water, a lump of
rock salt, and a supply of phosphatic matter
in a vessel, (both salt and burned bones under
the overshot,) and the yard well covered all '
over, with leaves, straw or any vegetable mat- j
ter lit for manure, or even good alluvial earth, •
to absorb the excrements which the cattle drop,;
and plenty ot straw, Ac., for the cattle to pick
at during the day, an excellent outside arrange- j
ment, both for the cattle's comfort and the in- j
crease of the dung heap.
I also find cornfodder well cut and crushed
m'xed with some meal or bran, aud scalded in
a large trough, fed to dairy cattle, with a
change of hay and roots once or twice a week,
the cattle well bedded, and curried well once
a day, kopt clean like a horse, will secure a
good flow of milk and an excellent quality of
butter
It is impossible, that cattle carelessly fed on j
dry fodder only, and badly attended to, will !
pay for their keeping ; both the dairy product
and the manure arc of an inferior quality, and
in small quantity. Cattle will take care of j
their keeper in proportion as he takes rare of i
them. J. S. KELLER, I
Oricigsburg, Feb. 9th, 1857.
INDIAN MUFFINS. —Pour boiling water into
a quart of corn meal, stir it well, let it be a
thick batter : when it has cooled a little, add
to it a table spoonful of yeast, two eggs well
beaten, a teaspoonful of salt; set it in a warm
place to rise for two hours, then butter some
square tins, two thirds fill theiu, and bake in
a quick oven ; when done, serve hot or cut in
squares, or bake as wheat muffins.
BAKED INDIAN PUDDING. —Cut up a quarter
of a pound of butter in a pint of molasses, and
warm theui together till the butter is melted.
Boil a quart of milk ; and while scalding hot,
pour it slowly over a pint of sifted Indian
meal, and stir in the molasses and butter.—
Cover it, and let it steep an hour. Then take
off the cover, and set the mixture to cool.—
When it is cold, beat six eggs, and stir theiu
into it ; add a teaspoonful of mixed cinnamon
and nutmeg ; and the grated peel of a lemou.
Stir the whole very hard ; put it into a butter
ed dish aud bake it two hours. Serve in up
hot, and eat it with sauce, or with butter aud
molasses.
DRAIN* TII.F..—In using tile for draining, the
water finds its way into the joints where the
tile come together; they are usually covered
with a strap of tin or flat stone, but the water
finds its way freely. It also passes through
the pores of the tile, but that does not cause
them to fall to pieces unless frost finds them.
—New England Farmer, March 14.
TAKE CP AND REPLANT. —AII perenial flower
lug plants, roses, Ac., flower much more freely
and perfect, if they are taken up, their roots
and tops pruned in, the ground thoroughly dug,
then re-planted, say once in two or three years.
