Pruning Trees and Vines.
It is a common saying amoDg practi
cal horticulturists, that tho beat time to
prune a plant is when such an opera>
tion is discovered to be necessary, and
a man has a sharp knife in his pocket.
This should not, however, be considered
as literally true, although volumes of
nonsense have been written in regard to
particular days or months in which
certain kinds of plants should be
pruned. It is not well to prune vines
or trees just at the time the sap begins
to flow the most rapidly in spring, be
cause it is likely to issue from the
wounds, discoloring the bark below, and
making the plants look unsightly, even
if no further injury follows. But if
trees or vines are pruned early enough
to insure a good frosting of the wounds
for a few nights before the sap begins
to flow, there will be little danger of
what is usually termed bleeding. In
many northern localities this may yet
be done, and those who have neglectec
pruning trees and similar plants requir
ing it should not delay the operation,
although it may be put off with some
kinds until tUe leaves are fully expand
ed. But there appear to be many er
roneous ideas prevalent among those
who have had little experience in plant
culture, and the most common one is,
that vines and trees require pruning on
ly once a year, which frequently leads
to severe losses both in fruit and vigor
of the specimens,
A man, for instance, concluclfij? that
his old apple or pear trees requn4 pru
ning, the branches having become too
abundant for the free admission of
light and air into the centre of the
head, or because some of the leading
shoots have become too tall, or the low
er branches droop too much to admit of
working the ground underneath. lie,
therefore, proceeds to thin out, cut
back or trim up, severing large or small
branches, as the case may require. So
far, the operation may be performed in
a judicious manner, but in the months
following it will usually be observed
that numerous sprouts will 3pring fiom
latent buds near the point where a
branch has been severed from the main
stem or elsewhere, and if these are per
mitted to grow it is at the expense of
those and other parts of the tree; be
sides, in most cases they spring from
the points where no shoots are desired,
and will be removed at the next annual
pruning. Examples of this kind may
be seen in hundreds of orchards at any
time during the summer months, the
vigor of the trees being wasted in
these sap sprouts, as they are usually
termed by farmers. Now, the proper
course to pursue is to visit the pruned
trees once or twice during the season,
breaking or cutting off these surplus
shoots while they are young, thereby
forcing the sap into other channels.
We think those who have had any
cxrerience in the care of orchards will
readily see the importance of this oper
ation in connection with that of the
reguTar annual pruning. Of course we
do not assert that all trees require pru
ning every year, but if it is done, sum
mer pinching and rubbing off surplus
shoots should always follow. If trees
are properly pruned at the start, follow
ed by judicious care in summer, there
will be little need of removing large
branches as they become old. A fruit
tree should receive its first severe pru
ning at the time of planting in the or
chard, and there is little danger of re
ducing the top too much.
In planting peach trees, say one year
old and five feet high, wa would cut
back the main stem to three or three
and a half, and all the side shoots to
within one or two buds of their base,
which, in ordinary varieties, would
mean to within three inches. With
pears, apples, and plums, less, severe
pruning will suffice; but we would re
duce all branches to about one-third of
their original length, and if the trees
have been transported to a considerable
distance, and become somewhat dry du
ring transit, a still further reduction
will be beneficial. The ends of all roots
severed by spades in digging should al
so be smoothed off with a sharp knife
before planting. This kind of pruning
is the almost universal practice with
nurserymen and others who have had
extensive experience in tree culture.—
Of course there are men who claim that
it is wrong in theory to reduce the nat
ural number of buds and branches up
on a tree in order to secure a vigorous,
healthy growth ; but we can assure our
readers that it works well in practice,
even if it does not exactly accord with
some of the theories advanced to prove
that it is wroDg.
The next period in the life of fruit
trees when very severe pruning may be
beneficial, is when they have reached
an age of unfruitfulness, either in con
sequence of having been permitted to
overbear or of neglect of pruning or
culture. Old orchards which have be
come almost or quite barren may fre
quently be restored to health and fruit*
fulness by removing one-half of all the
branches entire, and then shortening
the remainder one half, at the same time
adding fertilizers to the soil. Consid
erable attention, however, will be re
quisite during the summer in removing
the young sprouts which will issue from
the severely pruned branches. A few
of the strongest should be permitted to
grow, selecting those for this purpose
which start at points where new branch
es are desired. Many of our old and
now almost worthless pear and apple
orchards might be restored by manur
ing and pruning combined. In remov
ing large branches from trees, it is
well to cover the wounds with grafting
wax or some simi'ar substance which
will preveut the decay of the exposed
wood.
PRUNING GRAPEVINES.
What we have said above in regard
to fruit trees is also applicable to grape
vines. If pruned before cold weather
is entirely passed, there will be little
dmger of bleeding. Summer pinebing
of the most vigorous Shoots, as well as
rubbing off the feeble ones which al
ways appear in greater or less numbers
upon ail cultivated vines, are very irn*
portant operations. Annual pruning of
grapevines is generally conceded to be
necessary, but the equally essential ma
nipulation in summer is far too fre
quently neglected; hence the numerous
complaints of failure to obtain well
ripened fruit or vigorous canes foi use
the following season. A few canes, and
those of vigorous, sturdy growth, are
far preferable to a great number and all
weak and slender. The former are sel
dom secured without attention in sum
mer, no matter how carefully the annu
al pruning may have been performed.
The lesson we would inculcate by the
foregoing, is that the first step in the
improvement of plants calls for a cor
responding care in their culture. The
first pruuing which may be considered
as having been done at the time of tak
ing the bud or cion from the parent
stocks, makes a second in the life of the
tree or vine necessary, because hence
forward the plant is placed under arti
ficial conditions. —New York Weekly
Sun.
Field Beans. —The bean crop is
worthy of a place in rotation, not only
for its profit, but for its influence upon
the soil. It takes little from the soil ;
is a cleaning crop; lequires but little
outlay for seed, occupies the ground but
a short time, and may follow a crop of
clover the same season, if an early ri
pening variety is chosen. The “Medi
um” ripens early, but sells at a lower
price than the “slarrow.” The “Mar
row” is very productive on a good soil,
and is a popular market variety. If
properly harvested, the haulm is much
relished by sheep, and is nutrious. The
bean when ground with corn or oats, is
readily eaten, and when cooked, pigs
will accept it with avidity. No food
is better for a growing, nor contains
more flesh-forming elements than this
bean. The idea, however, that beans
may be grown with profit upon a soil
too poor for any other crop, is erroneous.
—American Agriculturist.
“
Handling Wet Soil.— On this
subject the California Agriculturist
says : Better not do it, because it is an
injury to it—an injury that years of
careful culture can not remedy. Heavy
soil once puddled and packed, when
wet, remains so for a long time. Every
step the horses take on wet soil puddles
it. The plow turns it over without pul
verizing it, and leaves a stiff glaze on
the furrows. Better be idle a few days,
or eveu sow the grain without plowing,
and scratch in when the surface dries
off, than ruin or seriously injure the
soil by puddle-plowing. This way that
farmers have of rushing through when
they get started, rain or shine, mud or
mellow, regardless of consequences, is
not according to common sense, and is
not profitable either. Better pay your
hired man to let it alone, than to plow
the soil when too wet.
f .
On Cooking “ Greens.” —Every
housewife thinks she can cook “greens.”
It is the simplest of all dishes; and yet,
in most cases, they are not well served,
for much depends upon the manner in
which they are boiled. The water
should be soft, and a tablespoonful of
salt added to a large-sized pot Of it, which
should be boiling hot when thrown in ;
and then it should be kept on the boil
ing gallop, but uncovered, until done,
which can be told by their sinking to
the bottom of the pot, and they should
be skimmed out as quickly as possible
into a colander, so that all the water
will run out. Press them with a small
plate, then turn upon a platter, add a
large piece, of butter, and cut up fine.
Serve while smoking hot.— The {Lon
don') Garden.
Watering Plants. —Although the
few necessary and simple rules are very
well known to most plant growers,
there are, judging from inquiries, some
who seem still unconscious of the inju
ry they inflict upon their pets by un~
timely application of water. When in
a healthy, growing state, all vegetation
loves a liberal supply of moisture, and
this should be given, not in little and
frequent sprinklings, but only when
there are signs that it is required, and,
then in copious measure. Plants at
rest do not v absorb moisture very freely
and too much of it engenders disease
first at the root, and later in the foli
age-
A Missouri farmer, after a long cal
culation, presents the following facts
concerning dogs : In thirty-two coun
ties 10,602 sheep have been killed by
dogs. He estimates the number of dogs
in these thirty-two counties to be 462,-
000 ; that a hog will thrive on the food
necessary to support an able-bodied dog,
and at the end of a year weigh 200
pounds ; therefore if the food for these
462,000 dogs went to the hogs it would
make 62,000.000 pounds of pork, worth
at six cents a pound 84,520,000—near
ly twice the value of all the school
houses in the State, and more than
twice the amount used by the State for
school purposes.
Clorine Gas in a New Rela
tion.—During the late cholera epidem
ic in M ienna, anew remedy, called cam
phoriene, was used with great success
in the hospitals. It is prepared simply
by passing chlorine gas into pure tur
pentine oil until saturated; it gives a
thick, heavy, oily fluid, of brown color,
with a strong smell of chlorine. This
is freed from muriatio acid by washing
with water. The is applied by
placing a portion in a flat vessel and
holding it to the patient to inhale.—

the Mayor, Hon. T. J. D. Wilson, and the

That old and reliable paper, the Houston
Telegraph, which rarely; coudecends to no

Drawing:
“ Not even the most captious and unspect

ner of the drawing. It was fair, honorable
and equitable.
“The committee and recorders were of
our very best citizens, and kindly gave their
time and labor to the superintendence
of the drawing, or rather did the actual la
bor of it.
“Capt. Foster has acted honorably and
fairly throughout the whole management of
this enterprise. While some money has been
made by the venture in all probability, yet
the property given as prizes has o~ly netted
a fair price, and the property for cash.”
That staunch Democratic paper,the Hous

“THE COMMITTEE
of gentlemen was one of the best that could
have been selected by the audience. Hon.
D. U. Barziza, who supervised the dr_wing,
is our Representative, and one of the most
popular men in the district.
“THE I RAWING
was prefaced by an explanation fro n Capt.
Foster, of the mode adopted. This was well
receivei and understood, precisely as ex
plained by the circulars. Capt. Foster said
he wished all his home people good luck, he
was yet free to say that with the people of
poor Mississippi, Louisiana and South
Carolina, he felt a greater sympathy, and
he did hope they would draw the largest
number of prizes, that they might come to
a free country, and make a white roan’s liv

cheers.

WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1875.
The approach of the Presidential election
gives unusual importance to the events and
ueveiopments of 1875. We shall endeavor to
describe them fully, faithfully and fearless-
THE WEEKLY SUN has now attained
a circulation of over seventy thousand
copies. Its readers are found in every
btate and Territory, and its quality is well
known to the public. We shall not only en
deaver to keep it fully up to the old stand
ard- but to improve and add to its variety
and power. J
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be
a thorough newspaper. All the new- of the
day will be found in it, *ndened when un
important, at full length when of moment,
and always, we trust, treated in a clear,
interesting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to make the WEEKLY SUN
the best family newspaper in the world. It
will be full of entertaining and appropriat
reading of every sort, but will print nothing
to offend the most scrupulous and delicate
taste. It will always contain the most in
teresting stories and romances of the day,
Ca rmf U * selected and legibly printed.
e Agricultural Department is a promi
nent feature in the WEEKL? SUN, and its
articles will always be found fresh and
useful to the farmer.
The number of men independent in poli
tics is increasing, and the WEEKLY SU N
is their paper especially. It belongs to no
party, and obeys no dictation, contending
or principle, and for the election of the
es men. It exposes the corruption that
disgraces the country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It
has no fear of knaves, and seeks no favors
trom their supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fash
mns are regularly reported in its columns.
The price of the WEEKLY SUN is one
dollar a year for a sheet of eight pages,
and fifty-six columns. As this barely pays
the expenses of paper and printing, we are
not able to make any discount or allow any
premium to friends who may make special
efforts to extend its circulation. Under the
new law, which requires payment of pos*
age in advance, one dollar a year, with
wenty cents the cost of prepaid postage
added, is the rate of subscription. It is not
necessary to get up a club in order to have
the WEEKLY SUN at this rate. Any one
who sends one dollar and twenty cents will
get the paper, post paid, for a yeaj
We have no traveling agents.
