PRUNING TREES.
Many inquiries are made regarding
the proper time for pruning trees or
•shrubs, both ornamental and fruiting.
It is impossible to answer except in a
general way, as the Individuals to be
treated must be each one considered.
Where considerable pruning is to be
done, the need for a practical man with
plenty of experience and a knowledge of
all kinds of trees is evident. Inthecase
>f fruit trees, it may be necessary to
thin out the branches to permit the free
circulation of air and light—very es-
sential things to strong, healthy
growth. Such pruning is done in the
winter, any time after the leaves have
fallen, though wounds will probably ..
heal with greater ease If made toward ! beneficial or Indirectly helpful toman
-pring. A careful painting of the j SO per cent, of insects and other animals

in bringing the truant back to his own
grounds for their mutual benefit. The
Massachusetts Experiment station has
made the toad the subject of some study
and publishes the following concern-
ing his habits and the perils in which
he lives:
"The toad as a rule feeds continuous-
ly throughout the night, consuming in
24 hours an amount ot' food equal in
bulk to about four times ihe stomach
capacity.
"A careful examination of the con-
tents of the stomachs of a large number
of toads showed that 9 per cent, of its
food was animal matter—worms, in-
sects, etc. Eleven per cent, of the toad's
food is composed of insects and spidcr.4

lived, might have damaged crops to the
extent of about $20."
CHARCOAL AS A REMEDY.
ly during early summer, while the sap
is active and growth is being made. At
the same time It will encourage the pro-
duction of fruit buds, which are set on
short spurs. As regards the ornamen-

In experiments made to determine
the benefits of charcoal in feeding, if
little pruning in winter and a little
more iu May or June, when growth is re -
sumed, would bring about the desired
results. The flowering and shrubs must
be pruned according to their respective
characters, if it is desirable to retain
flowering buds for the first season,
most • arly blooming plants should not
respect, and will give much more
strength to the remaining branches.
One correspondent asks if the end of
March is too late to prune apple trees
in northern New York. Following the
above principles it would not be—in
fact, one could prune in any month if it
is done judiciously with an understand-
ing of the results that would follow. It
is practicable to remove the larger low-
er limbs from trees at any season of the
year. There might be an exception to
removing them in the summer time,
provided the number of branches re-
move ] is in excess of those remaining.
This would tend to weaken the trees
very greatly. The most favorable time
for doing such work is in the winter.
If left until nearly spring or early sum-
mer ihe wounds will heal more readily,
as while the sap is in motion new bark
is made at once. In any event it is de-
sirable to paint the wounds with thick
ordinary paint or something that will
keep out the air and moisture until the
new growth of wood covers the wound.
Much error is diffused by the use of
improper terms. A work on forestry,
before the writer, referring to attach-
ment of labels or guards to trees, re-
marks that "it should be by copper wire
which stretches as the tree expands."
Rut there is no expansion of a tree in a
ph\ i ;il sense. A wave flows over the
an 1 by the seashore, but not by ex-
I an • :i of the waters. In like manner
th" new wood of trees flows over the
- 1 <i ; wood— but this is not expansion.
!f the wire attachment to a label be
loosely over a horizontal branch, and
firmly that it will not be dis-
any, four turkeys wore confined in a
pen and fed on meal, boiled potatoes
and oats, and four others of the same
brootT were at the same time confined
in another pen and fed daily on the
same articles, but with one pint of fine-
ly-pulverized charcoal mixed with their
food. These had also a plentiful sup-
ply of broken charcoal in their pen. The
eight were killed, and there was a dif-
ference of one and one-half pounds in
favor of those j applied with charcoal.
They were the attest, and the meat
was superior in point of tenderness and
flavor.
MANURE OR CLOVER. OR BOTH.
A correspondent writes: "I have a
farm close to town. The soil has been
systematically ribbed for years. 1 can
have manure h.-uled out from town at
50 cents a load. If you had the place
would you have the manure hauled out
or would you seed the land down to
timothy and clover?"
We would do l oth. In a case of that |
kind we would buy or hire a manure
spreader and give the land about seven
or eight loads of manure per acre. Less
would do. We would plow in August
and thoroughly pulverize it, preparing
a fine seed bed, would seed to rye and
timothy early in September, or as soon
as the soil had sufficient moisture,
which it would have if plowed in Au-
gust and thoroughly pulverized even if
the weather was dry. Then we would
drill in the rye, going north and south.
BAOQINQ GRAPES.
. "O enclose part of our grape crop
in paper bags to produce fancy clus-
ters. Paper bags of the iIn used to
hold a pound of coffee and the next
size larger are put on at any time
after grapes are well set until half
grown. The lower corners are cut
slightly so that moisture can escape.
The top of the bag is gathered
together and fastened around the
stem with string, short wire, or
pinned. The bags protect the fruit
from the birds. The fruit comes out
of the bags beautifully clean and free
from dust and cobwebs, with all the
natural bloom of the grape undis-
turbed by moisture and with every
grape perfect and free from disease.
Ihe spores of fungus disease floating
in the air cannot reach the fruit when
it is thus covered. llagged grapes
ripen more evenly, receiving the heat
of the sun slightly tempered by the
paper, and are not sunscalded. They
show a more perfect color than when
rip?ned naturally.
MAKING OAT IIAY.
In many farming sections where
natural grasses do not abound, and
clover and timothy are not grown
a considerable quantity of oat hay is
cut for hay. A correspondent living
in North Dakota asks us to tell him
when to cut oats for hay and also to
give its feeding value.
Oats to make the best hay should
be cut while the heads are in the
milky stage. Cure the same as for
hay. A good way to feed oat hay is
to pass it through a fodder cutter.
Oat hay has about the same feeding
value as blue grass or timothy and
clover hay. Of course if the rust
should strike the oats before time to
cut for hay it will not pay to cut the
crop. In that case it would be better
to harvest the crop for grain.
COWS IN FLY TIME.
Here is something that should be pre-
served by every reader that owns cows,
especially, and good for other cattle
also in fly time. The Country CJentIo-
nian gives it from its veterinary editor,
who says it is a cheap, reliable remedy
used 011 his cows for years, and found
to be lasting in results, easily used, and
such a comfort to the animals that they
could stand and be milked in the field,
if necessary: Pine tar, one pound, lard,
six pounds. Melt the lard and stir in
the pine tar. Keep an old sponge in
the pail, and smear a little 011 back of
cow's head, along spine and on brisket
twice a week, oy when necessary.
THE LIVING ROOT.
The living root itself has the powei
of disintegrating and decomposing the
particles of soil and of dissolving and
extracting some of the plant food. This
powerful action, by which the solid
rock is broken down and its plant food
liberated and by which even polished
marble can be corroded, goes on only
in the presence of moisture. Supply
the plant with moisture and its roots
are abie to set free from the particles
I of the soil a part of the mineral ele-
| ments required for iTs growth. Supply
even our sandy desert plains with abun-
dant moisture anil immediately they
change from a desert to a garden.

WEEDS.
la little work by Prof. Shaw, of
the .Minnesota Experiment station,
"\\ 's, and How to Eradicate
'i hem he says: "In good farming
wee is should not be tolerated at all,
bccau.e (li they rob the useful plants
that are cultivated of their due share
of nutriment: (2) they also injure
the:n by crowding them and shading
them; CI) they greatly add to the la-
bor of cleaning grain for market and
for eed; they are usually not of much
value for food; and (5) they frequent-
ly interfere with a regular rotation."
To which may be added that the long-
er they are left to grow unchecked,
the greater is the work required to
completely subdue them. Weeds feed
upon precisely the same kind of food
as the useful plants amid which they
grow, and they are nearly always
much more capable of gathering food
from the soil. When found growing
in a crop, therefore, they deprive
either that crop, or the crops that
line after that one, of precisely that
amount of sustenance which they con-
sume during the period of their
irrowth. The quantity of plant food,
therefore, which weeds take from the
roos and the soil will be ill propor-
tion to the numbers iu which they are
found. Nor should it be forgotten
that plant food externally applied,
oftentimes at much cost, as in
would work we would sow clover and
timothy and harrow them in. This
method we think would go far to insure
not only a good crop of rye but a good
stand of timothy and clover. If the
timothy and clover were pastured for
two years he would have nothing to
complain of about the land, if it ever
was good. We do not. know of any
poor land in that part of the state.
LAYING BY THE CORN.
The fullness of next winter's crib
depends largely upon how corn is laid
by, and when. Don't plow deep.
That should have been done, if at all,
earlier. Don't hill up to give the wind
and sun a chance to dry out the soil.
Don't quit too soon. Keep stirring the
top soil until the corn is big enough
to shade (.lie ground, and don't leavo
weeds, big weeds, at all events, but
try to give the corn a chance to do
its best.
HELPS IN HAY MAKING.
All will admit that the ideal place
for keeping good well-cured hay is in
a hay barn. But often it is impossible
to provide such barns owing to a large
amount of hay and to the expense at-
tending the construction of such a
building. Much hay and even forage for
feeding next winter will be stacked out
of doors this summer. Hay keeps bet-
ter with a smaller per cent, of waste in
large stacks than in small ones. This
applies with equal force to forage crops,
such as cornstalks, sorghum, kailr, corn,
etc. Therefore, an investment in a
stack cover will pay.
These covers make it possible to
leave the stock open for several days
and can be made to fit any size stack at
a small cost. Where alfalfa is cut it
often requires several days to cure til
hay and perchance, a rain follows the
cutting much damage results.

FOR THE FAMILY ORCHARD.
Choice of varieties of fruit for th6
family orchard is a matter of a great
deal of importance. The mistake is
frequently made of choosing too few
varieties for this orchard. The com-
mercial orchard should have but few
varieties, but the opposite is the ea?e
in the family orchard. It is best to
select well-known varieties, of which
there are enough to satisfy any epi-
cure.
if you have hired a man to help you in
the hay time and you should try to
make him do two days' work in one, 1
would not blame him if he should leave
you. Remember that a hired man is
different from a piece of machinery, if
you get where you have to have him
until late occasionally he should stay,
but do not try to make It that way in
order to get him to do the extra work.
Always use common sense.
Some folks haven't the gumption to
load the harrow or the plow on to the
stoneboat when they start for the
day's work, but let It go snaking
along, tearing up the turf in every di-
rection. Time to have a settlement

farm is too nice to be due nn in th-j*
way.
As soon as you are through with the
cultivators put them under shelter.
Farmers let more tools rot out than
they wear out^ and this is what is keep-
ing the manufacturers rich at *e ex-
pense of the farmer. It will pay to put

Washington, June 5.—Arthur Pue
Gorman, United States senator from
Maryland, died suddenly at his resi-
dence in this city at 9:05 o'clock Mon-

had been ill for many months, he had
shown some improvement lately.
Heart trouble was the immediate
cause of death.

SENATOR GORMAN.
Senator Gorman long had been a
notable figure in the national congress
He first took his seat in 1SS1 and
served continuously for 18 years and
nearly all of that time lie was the
leader of his party in the senate.
Winning early a reputation for saga-
city and the keenest judgment in con-
gressional affairs he attained promi-
nence not only as a leader in the sen-
ate but in the country at large and
by many men was considered the most
available man in his party for the
presidency. He was chairman of the
executive committee and managed the
' impugn that resulted in the election
of Cleveland in 1884.
The senate adjourned immediately
upon receiving the announcement of
Senator Gorman's death. No business
whatever was transacted, even the
reading of the journal being dispensed
with. There was an unusual number
of senators present and all were man-
ifestly impressed by the solemnity of
the occasion. Appropriate resolutions
were adopted and a committee to at-
tend the funeral was appoiuted as
follows:
Messrs. Raynor, Allison, Morgan.
Hale, Aldrleh, Teller, Oallinger, El-
Uins, Martin, Tillman Clay, Spooner,
Kean, Bailey, Blackburn, Clark (Mont.)
and Overman.

WASHINGTON'S DEATH RATE

"The high death rate of Washington

tions, said Dr. George M. Kober re-
cently, in a stereopticon lecture on
I he Health ot Washington' before
the Academy of Science at Hubbard

TOUCHED "CRANK BUTTON"
tJood Joko Which Secretary Shaw Un-
intentionally or Otherwise
Perpetrated.
Secretary Shaw has a number of
electric buttons on his desk connecting
with the office of ihe captain of the
treasury watch. One of these buttons
joiimls what is known as the "crank
boll," When that bell rings, says Suc-
cess Magazine, it Is supposed that
the secretary Is being annoyed by
cranks. Recently he was conferring
with Assistant Secretary Charles H.
Keep, chairman of the "Keep commis-
sion," and Comptroller Tracewell,
whose duty it is to ] are down pub-
lic expenditure to the bone. The con-
ference was one in which Secretary
Shaw failed to become interested, and
he showed his impatience by shifting
around In his chair and playing imag-
inary tunes on the electric button-".
Accidentally or otherwise he touched
the "crank button." A ininuie hit -r
the captain of the watch and two of
the watch force rushed into the secre
tary's room all heavily armed. When
the captain of the watch explained ii!s
presence by saying that the crank
alarm had been sounded, Secretary
Shaw looked lirst til Assistant Secre-
tary Keep and then at Comptroller
Tracewell. These two officials coul I
not grasp the humor of the situation,
but Secretary Shaw lay back in his
chair and roared with laughter, while
Mr. Keep and Judge Tracewell hur-
riedly left the room. They are stiu
wondering whether Secretary Shaw
touched that "crank button" by acci-
dent.

"We had a noted character down in

ardson, of Kentucky, "whe e chief aim
In life was the employment of synon-
yms, according to the Washington
I'ost.
"He was a man of little education
and had not the slightest idea of the
shades of meaning which words pos-
sess. Yet by constant study of the
dictionary he learned almost every
synonym in the English language.
On one occasion, meeting with the
representative from his district, he
told the representative that there
was no need for him to be uneasy over
his chance for reelection, for his
fences were in good 'stipulation '
The U3e of this word sounded
queer in the ears of the statesman,
and he pondered over it a long time
without solving the mystery. Finally
he asked a friend what the fellow
meant by 'stipulation' in connection
with political fences, and the latter at
once turned to a dictionary.
This speedily furnished the key
to the riddle, as one of the secondary
meanings of 'stipulation' was found
to be 'condition.'"
Unique Distinction.
Congressman Fulkerson, of Mis
souri, was treated to this compliment-
ary notice in a recent issue of the
Hopkins Journal: "Our congressman,
Frank B. Fulkerson. Is the best whis-
tler in congress and that body stopped
the wheels of legislation the other
day to hear him give 'Hot Time.' Just
so he doesn't 'wet his whistle' too
much we reckon his constituents will
have no kick coming."
