The keen-edged gardeners give the cutting reply, “any time when your knife is sharp;” but the more good-natured say, “It depends on what you want to cut for, 0 ” The street cutter “wants toA&ty the tree head low,” and “cuts down to make them ’ cutting in the wawfirffoes not have this effect, so unless one has some other object to combine with it, to clean the tree of Dark scutes, or the larva of insects, pt- the giving employment to some half-starv-ed tret|, R <»rp3»ter the work might as left undone.

It is cruel to w ork them, in this condition, but in many cases it can hardly be avoided, especially ou the canal. In such cases the wounds should be thoroughly sponged daily with strong soap swls followed by a solution of saltpetre and spirits of turpentine. - Put onequarter of a pound of the farmer and a pint of the latter into a bottle and shake them well together and apply to the wounds with a feather two or three times a day, or oftener if circumstances will permit, till the healing process commences, when the application may be discontinued. — Ifachangz. —What to plant, if a new orchard is to be set out in the spripg, is worthy of serious consideration. Many think they have only to determine what are the best varieties and order ; them. The real question is, What are the best varieties you can grow ? Get the experience of neigh bora who grow fruit, or of the nearest intelligent and reliable nurseryman. If about to plant for market, recollect that productiveness, regularity showiness of fruity and ability to bear transportation, are all of as much or more importance than quality, Do not be taken with the highly-colored pictures shown by traveling salesmen. —Steam-plowin'g in Califor nia promises to be. a success.

THE WEEKLY CHICAGO TRIBUNE, The paper, moreover, is peculmrly Westexq, in its character, which is what Western ppo. pie waut, uud what no Eastern paper ca,n l»p.

ir unrivalb d. In the campaign just ended, it his been-in-the-front rauk of the hosts whose watchword Is Equal Rights and National Honor. The Tribune was among the first In hoist the names of General Grant for President and Schuyler Colfax for Vice President of the Unite! States. It was the first journal in the West to confront and denounce the policy of paying the national bonds in irredeemable sfiin-plasters—a policy more fatal to the integrity amt perpetuity of the Union than all the armies marshaled under, Jefferson Davis. C QRR ES PO N D EN C E.

The TRIBUNE maintains a larger corps of ccirespondents than any other journal west of New York, and it challenge# comparison aa to the clpsracterand quality of tl>i original mailer in its columns with nay other journal in the Union. It employs first class writers nt London, Paris, Florence, Washington, New York, Boston, San Francisco, New Orleans. Memphis, and all tho States and Capitals of tlie Western Stat.’s, Resides telegraph reporters at all points where impartaut neu ’* is transpiring. MAKK ET KEPORTS. Ti;e Market Reports of the TRIBUNE aie carefully prepared by »n able corps of editois and reporter-!, and are brought down to the latest hour before going to press. The great commercial staples of the West, and transactions of Eastern trade which are of especial Interest and importance to its readers, and which, in Eastern papers.are necessarily limited or omitted altogether, are minutely con-. sidered, and the Western farmer or trader gains this information from Chicago TWO DAYS EARLIER titan lie can get it from an Eustenipaper even jf he finds it there at all. The'lt-legraph Markit Reports of the Tribune embrace every commercial centre of Europe and the United States wlii?h can have, any influence upon Western produce, trade or industry. Its reports of the Gatti’- Markets of Chicago and the principal Eastern cities are prepared with tht utmost cate, by special reporters of long experience and training. In itq AGRICULiUHAL DEPARTMENT the Tribune gives the latest and most approved method of cultivation, and all the scientific reseaich and practical expel imenls whoso results ate of value to an Agricultural, Horlioultuftl and Stock Raising conimuni’.y, living upon the rich prairie lands of the West, and to whom the ktiowl’dgc applicable to tlie dweller on the setr-coart, iu a oiffisreut climate and a different soil, is of comparatively little value. In two respects tlien, the Chicago Tribune is in the very nature of things the superior qf any Eastern paper. It is devoted to Western interests and readies its renders with at least twodllys’ later news; while for s*i topics of interest, it is equally Valuable wilhanv other paper, because it has the same means and tlie same facilities of acquiring and giving them to its readers.
