mm WHEN AND HOW TO PRUNE. In Winter For Wood Growth, In Summer I''or Fruit Production. There are many orchards well cared for in every way except in the matter of pruning, and this is often sadly neglected or improperly done, some claiming that it is working against na ture to prune. If we neglect it, na ture makes an effort to do it for us in ■ her only way—by causing the surplus wood to die for want of air and sun light. This is an objectionable way of pruning, ns it leaves only dead scars on our trees for life. The true prin ciple of pruning is to begin with the young maiden tree and give it light anuual pruning when it can all be done with the pinning shears. If this is then neglected and a tree allowed to grow as it will, we will have hard work to get it !n proper shape and will injure the tree more or less by cutting awav large branches. Trees will form a very nice looking head when young with but little pruning, but before we are aware of it we have a tree so dense that the inside wood begins to die, and it is impossible for the fruit to come to perfection. This matter of pruning is neglected and improperly doue more than any thing else pertaining to fruit culture. Every kind of fruit and in fact nearly every variety of the same kind needs a different method of pruning. A Clapp's Favorite pear might do fairly well with an occasional heading in, as it makes but little surplus wood, but the same treatment applied to many other varieties that make a surplus of wood, such as the Lawrence and many others, would give us a perfect brush heap. The time of pruning is not so impor tant as the method. It has been said, 'Prune whenever your tools are sharp," but I would not advise severe pruning when the trees are growing or are in full foliage, as cutting off much foliage has a tendency to weaken the tree somewhat. Where the work can be done in a short time March and April are preferable, but where there is much to be done any time from the falling of the leaf until it starts again in spring. ! I do not advise cutting off large [ branches in the fall and winter, but where it is absolutely necessary to cut such they should be cut several inches . from the trunk or large branch and then cut closely any time during June, when they will heal readily, or they may be cut close and the wound cover ed with a thick paint. This will in a i measure prevent decay. All branches over an inch in diameter should be so ; treated, or the wounds will decay more ] or less. This is especially true on old j trees where there is not so much vigor as in younger trees. There is no danger of injury from pruning when the wood Is frozen. Whenever the workman can endure the fold the tree can. I have practiced pruning in every mouth of winter and i. ive never seen any injurious effect ' rom it when the wood was frozen, 'runing when the tree is dormant in iuces wood growth. Summer pruning riduees fruit production and Is not generally to be recommended. In some where trees are large and old nough to fruit, but do not from ex essive wood growth, judicious sum ner pruning might be advisable, but nust be done with caution.—Charles ?laek of New Jersey Horticultural So iety.

The baby was only 4, but she was an only child and had lived with her parents largely in hotels, and she was a self pos sessed little maiden. She was always a model of propriety as to manners, so that when one day a young man, a friend of her papa and mamma ami a great ad mirer of the little girl, asked to take her out to luncheon all by herself she was allowed to go. A very tiny girl may go without a chaperon sometimes. The lit tle girl was to do the ordering.

[Tending by electricity. iAntp to Dale 111 v <-ni inn For Fann ers Sow on Trial In Mlchiß*ii. A man named McXair lias devised a system of pasturing sheep by electrici ty, and experiments are being made with it at the 'agricultural experiment station of Michigan at Lansing. In re cent years nearly every town of any size has been provided with an electric generating plant, and frequently the wires are strung along country roa<is from town t town. This fact led Mr. McNair to attempt the use of electrici ty on the farm, For sheep feeding he devised a curious pen some 15 feet square, built of wire and mounted on broad, flat wheels. This pen is design ed to run In any pasture, even though it be hilly. Wires connect it with a I small motor stationed at one side of the pasture, this in turn being connect ed with the electric wires from which power i 3 derived. A turn of a button, and the pen slowly creeps across tie* field. This is the essence of the inven tion. Two lambs and part of the time an old ewe have been pastured in the pen during the summer at the station at Lansing. The field is planted with lu cern. growing thick and heavy. The pen is so arranged that it crawls the full length of the pasture in one 1 lontli. traveling about two feet an hour. At the end cf this time it is switched around and travels back again. As it moves the sheep eat every bit of tie fodder, eagerly cropping next the for ward side of the pen as it runs over new ground A bit of canvas duck is linng over one corner of the pen so thai the sheep i ay be w< 11 sheltered, and. curious as it may seem, they have be come so accustomed to the moving of tin; pen that when they lie down to sleep they snuggle up close to the for ward end of the pen so that they may lie as long as possible without being disturbed by the rear end of the pen as it creeps toward tliein. When the pen lias passed, the lucern that has been cropped by the sheep grows up again, and by the time the pen has made its monthly circuit the pasture is again in good condition. The advantages of this electrical pen are that the are kept from running over, half eating and trampling down a large amount of pasture, and it keeps the sheep quiet, so that they take on flesh rapidly. The Flock master's liininK. The only thing to do for the insatia ble American taste for mutton i< to "take something for it," a lamb chop or a leg o' mutton, says The Breeder's Gazette. Comment has been recently made on the capital demand at this market for sheep and lambs, inquiry outstripping the supply and absorbing the enormous receipts with scarcely a ripple in the market. From Kansas City comes a complaint that packers are unable to get sulßcient supplies of fat sheep to keep their killing plants in operation to full capacity. So keen has been the demand for mutton that pack ers have been obliged to enter into competition with feeders for the range bred sheep that should by rights go in to feed lots rather than to the sham bles. Now that the run from the range is largely over, dependence must be placed on the supplies from the feed lots, and it does not seem that the de mand at that market is likely to be met. All this conies from the increase in the appetite of our people for mut ton. Packers at Kansas City have planned to increase their output of mutton if they can obtain the raw ma terial. Observe the situation: Last fall so many sheep were going on feed that conservative heads feared for the fu ture of the industry. The enormous numbers that came from the feed lots during the winter and spring were lick ed up at satisfactory prices, and now killers are competing with feeders for sheep. This certainly argues the ex pansion and the permanency of the in dustry. It is merely the taste of im proved mutton that has wrought this revolution. The public knows a good thing when it tastes it. The industry is capable of considerable extension yet, and the man who breeds and feeds good sheep is very apt to come out win ner. Getting; Over Wire Fences.

At an evening party given not long ago games which were played with peanuts furnished a source of amuse ment. The company was divided into two parts by choosing sides, leaders having been previously appointed, alt er which the divisions formed into lines facing each other. As many peanuts 1 as could be conveniently held In both ' hands were given to each of the lead ers, who poured them into the open palms of the person standing next to him. 111 this way the peanuts were passed down each of the lines and back again, the side whose leader was first to receive again his quota of pea nuts being considered victorious. Six peanuts were then placed in a row ui»on the floor, and the members of each division were in turn allowed to attempt to place the peanuts in a chair several yards distant without dropping them. They were not to be touched with the hand, but were to be lifted and carried separately with a caseknife. The task was rendered more difficult by remarks which were 1 made, encouraging on the one side and such as were calculated to produce fail ure ou the other. The lady and gentleman who proved the most successful in this contest were rewarded by being blindfolded and seated in chairs facing each other, each one given a saucer of shelled pea nuts and allowed to feed one another by means of a spoon. When the merri ment which this produced had ceased, peanuts were passed to the entire com pany. Other refreshments were served later in the evening.—Mary C.

The indications point to the coming ! season as certain to be sensational in j one respect among the trotters if in 110 j other, and that is in the number and 1 high quality of the 3-year-olds which j will l»e raced. There are at least five I big stakes for 3-year-olds to be decided \ tills year, and the colt or filly that can win either one of tliein will be a very profitable youngster to his or her breed er. These five events are: The Ken tucky Futurity, value SlO.OtK); the ! Louisville Prize, value J?10,00O; the Du- ' buque Preparation, value sri.oOO; the j Kentucky Stock Farm, value "»«». ami the Ilorse Review, value $3,000.

Last season it took a mile in 2:10 ;y t to j win one of the 3-year-old events, and in j order to get any part of a purse trotted t so fast a colt must be able to step right close to 2:1.".. With the great number of 3-year-olds that will be trained this year the chances are that one or two will be developed that will be even faster than was last year's crack of that age, and if such proves to be the i case the 3-year-old division of trotters will furnish about as much sensational racing as any class that can he men tioned. t'enn's Crew Slay Go Atiruml.

The first Important item in the care of colts through their first winter is to have a good, warm stable, says W. W. Stevens in The American Agriculturist. It is not objectionable to put several volts in one stable if they have plenty iif room to move about and lie down at will. Stop all cracks if the barn siding Is not tight. If there tire any timid ones in the lot that will not assert their rights and crowd in for their rations, better stall them to themselves. Have good water within reach of colts all the while and provide a small lot 011 the east or south side of the barn where the little fellows can take exercise and sun themselves when the weather is pleasant. The rations of the colt should bp made up mostly of clover hay, oats, oli meal and bran. A few horsemen can successfully feed considerable corn where th< re is a blue grass pasture to turn the colts in when the weather will permit. But I would not advise a very liberal use of corn unless the feeder has had considerable experience. Nev er feed a colt timothy hay. If you have sheaf oats, cut tip and mix with bran, making a damp chop in mild weather and dry mixture in cold. Sor ghum is a good roughness for colts where it has been provided. Colts will soon learn to drink skimniilk or kitchen slops, and I know of no more profitable way of disposing of same on the farm. As to the amount of food to be given no fixed rule can be laid down. Give the colt all he will eat three times a day. Be careful and never allow food to accumulate and sour in the trough. Do not allow tiiem to have water that you would not care to drink yourself. Always keep salt by them in a box sep arate from the feed trough. Once a week give each colt a tablespoonful of sulphur in bran. This will keep them from worms and ward off lice. Exam ine colts carefully once a week to sec that they are free of vermin. When a colt gets lousy, he will do no good until relieved of the pests. I would not waste any time grooming colts during the winter. They need to be kept well bedded with straw, and if there is not a great deal of room in the stable it should be cleaned out every few days. Unless the stable is kept dry the colt is liable to get scratches, and this is a trouble quite difficult to get rid of in winter. Handle the colt often the first winter of his life. This Is the time to gentle him down and teach him to lead. A colt not halter broken by the time he is a year old gets wild, and when handling becomes im perative he is as wild as a Texas pony. If when you go into the stable you car ry an apple, a lick of salt or something of the kind, the colts soon learn to wel come your coming. Fillies as a rule are more shy than the male colts and need more attention to put them on fa miliar terms with the feeder or han dler. Never allow older horses to run with the colts. They crowd them through doorways, in stalls and corners and are likely to injure them some way or other. Older horses do not like to have colts feed with them and will kick and injure them. Even the moth er of a colt does not care to have him around after he has been weaned a few weeks. Rent llok For Farmer*. My opinion is that the most profitable hog for the general farmer to raise is a hog that can be made to weigh 250 or 300 pounds as early as possible, say at 'J or 10 months of age, says a corre spondent of The Prairie Farmer. As to breeds, my choice is the Poland-China The most favorable time for the young pigs to arrive must be determined by circumstances and the conveniences at hand for caring for them. My experi ence is the earlier the better, as I find it difficult to get the same growth on a May pig at 0 montbs as one farrow ed in March. lam uot prepared to saj just why this is so, but one reason un doubtedly is that they are Just in time to feed 011 the young and tender clover and grasses. Where one has not a good warm place for the young pigs and wishes to raise a large number it is probably best and much more conven ient to have them farrowed the last 0/ April or May and turn them off at a lighter weight or else keep them through the winter, which takes more care and feed. Another advantage to be gained by early farrow is that if you are an advocate of fall pigs you can wean your pigs at G weeks or 2 months old and breed your sows again to farrow about September, or if you do not wish to breed for fall litters your sows may be fattened ready for market at that time, when pork is usu ally a better price than later. This takes them out of the way and gives a better opportunity to care for the young pigs. The young pigs should be fed liberally with bone and muscle making foods, (tats either ground or whole are an excellent feed for growth. Do not feed corn or other fattening feed till they have made considerable growth, when it is an easy matter to put 011 fat. If they are pushed too fast in the first place, they will onlj make a lot of fat little chunks. There are several reasons fur getting the pigs to market as soon as practicable. It saves feed, as every experienced feeder knows that Jlic lirst 200 pounds is much cheaper than the next 200 pounds, and the 100 pounds from 300 to tut) is usually quite expensive. Out t Mounters.
