.potlfural alvm. A Few Words on Pruning. The often repeated axiom " prune whenever your knife is sharp," holds good for small limbs upon small trees, but for old and neglected ones both ex perience and theory indicate midsummer as the proper time for the removal of large limbs. Not only is the amputated stump more thoroughly shaded at that time, but the forces of the tree are in that condition which allows the healing over process to commence more prompt ly than at any other season. We have to repeat what has often been said in these columns : do not cut a limb unless with a definite object and, it is clearly seen that something is to be gained by it. In pruning we remove limbs alto gether or shorten them, and for quite different ends. A neglected tree will have its centre crowded with branches which, being excluded from light, can not perfect their fruit. Other will cross and chafe one another, while others again will grow so much to one side as to throw the tree quite out of balance. In either case the limb may be removed with decided benefit to the tree. Nor is the manner of its removal a matter of indifference ; if worth doing at all it is wtrth doing well. A pruning saw or a small hand-saw without a back, and with a rather wide set is to be used to remove the limbs. In the operation the limb should be held in such a manner that it cannot fall by its own weight and make a bad crack, or strip the bark before the sawing is completed. Saw close so where the limb ioins another and pare the cut surface smooth with a knife, chisel or drawing knife. The surface should then have some protect ing coating ; a thick solution of shellac in alchohol is one of the best prepara tions for this purpose, but owing'to the high price of both these articles it will found cheaper to use grafting wax, which may be applied m a melted state with a brush. branches may be short ed in, either to induce the .formation of fruit buds or to cause some of its lower buds to start and produce branches to fill up a vacant space. For the last mentioned purpose the cutting is done in spring. America)! Agriculturist. Currants and How to Propagate Them. The Currant is one of those fruits which seem to thrive in spite of neglect and to give tolerable crops in almost any soil and location. They will grow and produce some fruit if the bushes are allowed to have their own way and are choked with weeds. Let any one compare the fruit as ordinarily produced with the fine specimens which have been shown on the tables at the American vjgncuiiurisi uiuce, anu ne will see that there is something to learn, rven about currants. Any sort properly cul tivated and pruned, will give far better fruit than it will if neglected, and there are new and fine sorts, requiring no more care than the old ones, which will produce fruit vastly superior. For red sorts, the Cherry and La Versailles, and for white, the White Grape and Prov ence, will give a good selection, though there are many others which have their advocates. The sorts in cultivation arc generally of foreign origin, but some native species have lately been intro duced form the far West, of which we have great hopes. For the present, however, we must be content with the European sorts. There is, perhaps, no plant more easily propagated than the turnip. During the present month (October) select strong wood of ast year's growth, and make cuttings of six inches to a foot long, cutting them off just below a bud, and square across. To prepare the cuttings for planting, cut out every eye or bud except two or three from the upper end. Cuttings maybe planted and grow without Si this trouble, but if good-tree like plants are desired it is necessary to take some pains to procure them. Stretch a line across the bed where the cuttings are to be planted, and then take a spade, place its back against the line, force it into the ground nearly perpendicularly to the depth of about six inches, ail throw out the soil, thus making a trench the shape of a letter V. Now set thp cuttings about three inches an.irt. nlnna in this trench, with the upper ends about even mm lue surface, as the soil will settle enough during the Winter to ex pose the upper buds. Throw a little soil into the trench, just enough to cov er the lower part of the cuttings for one or two inches, and then with the handle of the spade, or the edge of a piece of board, crowd the soil down firmly around them. It is essential to success to bring the soil closely in -contact with the freshly-cut portion, so as to exclude the air. If the cuttings are set in the lat ter part of September, or early in Octo ber, they will often become well rooted by Winter, and be prepared to make a vigorous growth in Spring ; indeed they will do twice as well as cuttings put out in Spring. When cold weather comes on, the cuttings snould nave a covering of three or four inches of leaves or straw, not so much to keep out the frost as to revent th em from being thrown out by frequent freezing and thawing. In the Spring the covering may be re moved altogether, or it may be parted just over the cuttings, and left as a mulch. The soil for cuttings should be well worked ; only old, fine manure be used, and a dry situation should be se lected for the bed.
