Hon. James Wilson toys: “Farmers are beginning to see the wisdom of matt yotmg heifer white bar pMr *nto«re' other lejrewge on the farm. What folly to putcher her and Itorn nte' forage di *efctt : rot. ! Th 6 activedemand of thisfall'iforfeeding steers will drive feeders into raising good calves of their own,” Obdixakilt trees that ' are' ' large enough to produce a crop of fruit staonki be very ligbfly pruned. If two. branch* | es interfere, one of them should be removed zb as to give the other toflicient room. So, too,, branches that Are hi* jure ( d from other causes, shbuld be bdt off. "hut • if a wellshAped top Wte formed when tHA ■ tretr was ypflng, it shogjd be semovedwithout special pause. Occasionally, however, an bid ‘ fruit tree,' more especially, a peach tires;'may be naifctO 1 “JWPWij pruning. Old peach trees are often rendered thrifty'Ah d productive by PuttWf off mosWof the large limbs within a few inches cf thp trunk. The effect of this “ heroic treatment” is to catise the production of new branches vhich grow to a size to produce fruit in a> remarkably short time. When treating a tree in this manner it is well to follow the injunction given in the Scriptures about the management of a certain barren fig tree.— Chicago Times. . - ■ ' i ■ >
