WINTER PARE OF STOCK.
Every intelligent and thrifty farmer un-1
derstands perfectly well the importance of
properly caring for his stock during the
winter months. While it is a true saying
that stock well wintered is half summered, !
it is equally true that stock coming to the j
barn in the fall in good condition and good
heart, can be wintered much more cheaply j
than that which comes in poor condition.
It is almost impossible for the most skill-;
fill manager to bring an animal from a low
to a fair or high condition on hay alone—
the usual feed for young cattle, sheep and
colts during thq winter—but if in a good
state of health and flesh on the approach of'
winter, with a suitable amount and quality
of hay, their condition may and should be ;
kept good, and the young stock growing
until the season for turning again to grass, j
This can only' be done by careful and reg
ular feeding, good, pure water, and suita
ble shelter from the most inclement wea
ther, during the winter months of our nor-.
them climate. Variety of food is very es- j
sential to the thrift of most animals, while j
it is too often disregarded by those having
care of them. No good breeder will over
look this most important matter.
Boots, such as-turnips, carrots, etc., can
be produced *in great abundance upon al- j
most any farm in the country, and are a
very great help to eke out a short supply of i
hay, while they are of the greatest ad van-1
tage to almost any kind of farm stock. At j
the present high price of almost all kinds I
of grain, there are but few farmers who
will feed it, especially to store cattle or
sheep. Its place may be supplied in a great
measure by roots, and that farmer is wise :
who has laid in a good quantity for winter
feeding. A little corn in this 'way will,
oftentimes, save whole flocks and herds
from diseases incidental to insufficient keep
ing or want of change in feed.
Young animals particularly should be j
well fed and eared for through the first
winter of their existence. It is too often
the case that colts, calves and lambs are
neglected and left to shift for themselves the '
first winter, and as a consequence are bare
ly able to get up from the barn to pasture
in the spring. In this condition it takes al
most the entire grass season to recover
what flesh and strength they have lost dur
ing tin- winter, for want of that care and
comfort which common humanity would
seem to dictate. The most successful bree
ders and stock raisers give the utmost at
tention to the young animals through their
first winter, and are sure that they have
good shelter, the best of food, and abun
dance of pure water all the time. Their
growth at no tithe should be checked for
want of attention to these important con
siderations.
While every branch of husbandry re
quires the closest and most careful attention
of an interested and skilful manager, none
sutler for want of it so much as stock dur
ing the winter season.— -American Stock

PRUNING ERUIT TREES.
. . 1
.\ir. lhibreuil, formerly Professor of Ar
boriculture in the Garden of Plants at
Boiien, in France, sums up the general
principles of pruning as follows ;
The theory of the pruning of fruit trees
rests on six general principles :
The vigor of a tree, subjected to pruning,
depends, in a great measure on the equal
distribution of sap in all its branches.
In fruit trees abandoned to themselves
the sap is equally distributed in the differ
ent parts without any other aid than nature,
because the tree assumes the form most in
liannouN with the natural tendency of the
sap.
But t. ose most submitted to priming, it
is different ; the forms imposed on them,
sin It as espalier,prvainid, vase, Ac., change
more or less 1 lie normal direction of the
sap. and prevent it from taking the form
proper to its species. Thus all the forms
given to trees require the development of
ramifications more or less numerous, and of
greater or less dimensions at the base of
the stein. And, as the sap tends by prefer
ence to the summit of the tree, it happens
that, unless great care betaken, the bran
ches at the base become feeble, and finally
dry up, and the form intended to be obtain
ed disappears, to be replaced by the natur
al form, that is a stem or a trunk with a
branching head. It is then indispensable,
if we wish to preserve the form we impose
upon our trees, to employ certain means,
by the aid of which the natural direction
of the sap can he changed and directed
towards the points where we wish to obtain
the most vigorous growth. To do this we
must arrest vegetation in the parts to
which the sap is carried in too great abun
dance, and on the contrary favor the parts
that do not have enough. To accomplish
litis the following means must he success
fully employed :
i. I'ruiie the branches of the most vigor
ous parts very short, and those of the week
parts long. We know that the sap is at
iracted by the leaves. The removal of a
large number of wood buds from the vigor
ous parts deprives these parts of the leaves
which these liuds would have produced ;
conseqiieifHy the sap is attracted there in
less quantities, and the growth thereby
diminished. The feeble parts being
pruned long, present a great number
of buds, which produce a large surface of
leaves, and these attract the sap and ac
quire a vigorous growth. This principle
holds good in all trees, under whatever
form they may be conducted.
11. Leave a large quantity of fruit on the
strong part, and remove the whole, or
greater part, from the feeble. We know
already that the fruit lias the property of
attracting to it the sap from the roots, and
of employing it entirely to its own growth.
The necessary result of this is, what we
are about to point out, viz., that all the sap
which arrives in the strong parts will be
absorbed by the fruits, and the wood there,
in consequence, will make but little growth,
while on the feeble part, deprived of fruits,
the sap will be appropriated by the grow
ing parts, and tliey will increase in size and
strength,
111. Bond the strong parts and keep the
weak erect. The more erect the branches
and stem are the greater will be the flow j
of sap to the growing parts ; hence, the '
feeble parts being erect, attract much more
sap than the strong parts inclined, and,
consequently, make a more vigorous growth
aud soon recover their balance. This rem
edy is more especially applied to espalier
trees.
IV. Remove from the vigorous parts the
superfluous shoots as early in the season
as possible, and from feeble parts as late
as possible. The fewer the number of
young shoots there are oil a branch, the
fewer there are of leaves, and consequent- ,
ly the less is the sap attracted there. —
Hence in leaving the young shoots on the '
feeble part, their leaves attract the.sap;
there, and induce a rigorous growth.
t Finch early the soft extremities of
the shoots on the vigorous parts, and as
late as possible on the feeble (.ai ls, excep
ting always any shoots which tnay be too
vigorous for their position. By thus pluck
ing early the strong part, the flow of sap
to that point is checked, and naturally
turns to the growing parts that have not
been pinched ; this remedy is applicable to
trees in all forms.
VI. Lay in the strong shoots on the trell
is early, and leave the feeble parts loose as
long as possible. Laying in the strong
parts obstructs the circulation of the sap in
them, and consequently favors the weak
parts that are loose. This is only appli
cable to espaliers.
1. In espalier trees, giving the feeble j
parts the benefit of the light, and confin- J
ing the strong parts more in the shade, :
restores a balance, for light is the agent j
which enables leaves to perform their func- j
tions and their action on the roots, and the I
parts receiving the greater proportion of ;
it acquire the most vigorous develop
ment.
2. The sap acts with greater force and |
produces more vigorous growth on a branch
or shoot pruned short than one pruned long.
This is easily explained. The sap acting
on two buds must evidently produce a !
greater development of wood on them
than if it were divided between twenty
buds.
It follows from this, that if we w'sh to
obtain wood branches we prune short, for
vigorous shoots produce few fruit buds.—
On the contrary if we wish to obtain fruit
branches we prune long, because the most
tender or feeble shoots are the most dis
posed to fruit.
Another application of this principle is
to prune short for a year or two such trees
or parts as have become enfeebled bv over
bearing. (This principle deserves particu
lar attention, as its application is of great
importance.)
3. The sap tending always to the extrem
ities of the shoots cause the terminal bud
to push with greater vigor than the later
als. According to this principle, when we
wish a prolongment of a stem or branch,we
should prune to a vigorous wood bud, and
leave no production that can interfere with
the action of sap on it.
4. The more sap is obstructed in its cir
culation the more likely it is to produce
fruit buds. This principle is founded on
the fact to which we have already had
occasion to refer, viz.,—that the sap circu
lating slowly is subjected to a more com
plete elaborating in the tissues of the tree,
and becomes better adapted to the forma
tion of fruit buds.
This principle can be applied to produce
the following result: When we wish to
produce fruit buds on a branch we prevent
a free circulation of the sap by binding
the branches, or by making annual or circu
lar incisions on it ; and on the contrary,
when we wish to change a fruit branch in
to a wood branch we give it a vertical posi
tion, or prune it to two or three buds, on
which we concentrate the action of the sap
and thus induce their vigorous development.
5. Leaves serve to prepare the sap ab
sorbed by the roots for the nourishment of
the tree, and aid the formation of buds on
the shoots. All trees, therefore, deprived
of their leaves are liable to perish. This
principle shows how dangerous it is to re
move a large quantity of leaves from trees,
under the pretext of aiding the growth or
ripening of fruits, for the leaves are nour
ishing organs, and the tree deprived of
them cannot continue to grow, neither can
the fruit ; and the branches so stripped
will have feeble,ill-formed buds, which will,
the lbllowiug year, produce a weak and
sickly growth.
Where the buds of any shoot or branch
do not develop before the age of two years
they can only be forced into activity by a
very close pruning, and in some cases, as
the peach, this even will often fail. This
last principle shows the importance of
pruning the main branches of espaliers
particularly, so as to ensure the develop
ment of the buds of their successive sec
tions, and to preserve well the side shoots
thus produced, for without this, the inter- ■
ior of the tree will become naked and un
productive, and a remedy will be difficult.
If thesa principles and practices of prun
ing be carefully studied in connection with
the habits of growth and hearing of the
different fruit trees, pruning will he com
paratively an easy matter. The mode of
obtaining any particular form or character i
cannot fail to be perfectly plain and simple
yet no one need hope to accomplish, in all
things, the precise result aimed at, for even
the most skilfull operator is sometimes dis
appointed ; but tiio.-e who give constant
attention to their trees will always discover
a failure in time to apply a remedy.—Mann.

HINTS FOR BUYING A HORSE. —Few persons
are acquainted with the mode of judging a
horse by the teeth. As the lesson can be
learned by rote in a very few minutes, in
tending purchasers will do well to commit
it to memory. At two years old the horse 1
sheds the two middle teeth of the under;
jaw; at three years old he sheds two other ;
teeth, one on each side of those sited the f
year before; at four years old he sheds the
two remaining or corner teeth; at five years
old the two middle teeth arc full, being no
• longer hollow, as the others are, and the I
I teeth will have penetrated the gums; at six I
years old the four middle are full, the tusks
large and thicker, and the horse is said to
be aged. Occasionally, however these
marks will slightly vary, a good deal de-!
pending on the animal's constitution wheth
er lie be a late or early foal; also upon the 1
manner in which the animal has been rear
ed, the kind of food, shelter, &e.
