Mr.. Carttr-Hog-pen manure is the best for
gooseberries.


Mr.. Brown.-Pruning ought not to be dsne
until after the sap in circulation, and the young
shoots and leaves are out. May and June are
the best for pruning. The wounded places should
be covered with green COW dung and lime. Prune
closc-leavc no spurs; cut off all large branches
at an angle of As degrees. 1t is an error, to sup
pose cutting off half the top will leave half the sap
in circulation. Every limb is full Of tubes for sap,
like so many little pumps.


Mr. BosmeH.-Some of our best fruit is from
seedlings. Bolmer's justly admired plumb is one.
There are fine green cages also, from seedlings.
The seeding apples from Ohio are the best in the
country. Our Spitzenberg gapplc is dying all over
the country. Our golden pippin is gone here
and in England.


Mr.. Sicrens.-The worm called the Apple
Lover is very common now. Contrary to the
theory of Mr.. Brown, our farmers all prune in the
winter or during suspended vegetation. A
gooseberry, with single stock, gives the largest
fruits. We take off portions of both limbs and
fruit, and much improve the residue. Grapes are
SO treated, All prune in the winter. In late
spring pruning it is difficult to stop the bleeding.
