Pruning Fruit Bushes.
Among the things that should ooaapy
the attention of the farmer and the fruit
grower at this time of tbe year, one of
tate first iu importunes ie the pruning of
hie fruit trees and bnehee. In the
farmer's garden the bush Naito are very
generally neglected though the pruning
whioh they require is ample in nature
and ran be done with comparatively
little labor. The following direotiona
may serve asa guide for seine who have
beahee to prone thie Spriug.
000PBERRI0e,
The pruning of raspberries may be
anmmed up briefly ae follows :-Remove
the old ranee after fruiting ; thin out the
weakest of thenew ones eo that the row
may not be boo tbiok ; head baok the
new canes to about three and one half
feet, eo that good strong lateral shoots
may be developed near the grand.
Strong laterals may be headed baok
about one•hear. Io eeme looalitiee where
there is danger of eau being iojnred
dating the Winter, it may be best to
leave the pruning until Spring, but
where there ie ao aaoger of injury from
frost the work is as well done in the
Fall.
BLd0RBtancre OR ''HIIIDLEBERBIE9.
These ebould be pruned mall the
same as raspberries except that tbe new
mans should be !eft eomewbat long, four
to four and one-half feet being ooueidered
(that right. It is generally advisable to
prune blackberries in tbe early Spring,,
as the canes are !table to freeze beck
during the Winter.
ea09EBERRIE6.
Without Dare gooseberries booms a
tangled mase whioh prevente the proper
development and the easy barveeting of
the Drop. The fruit is borne on one, two,
end three year old wood, mostly, bow -
ever, on the one and two year old wood.
The aim should be to replace the three
year old branabee with good healthy new
sboote very early each Beason, Six
main branches, two of whioh may be re-
placed annually, is a good base from
which to build the frame of the bash.
Used book the new growth about one-
third and keep the bush just open enough
to permit the eaey harveating of the
fruit. If opened up too much there is
danger of the fruit being injured by sun-
burning.
RED AND WHITE CuRRAIime.

arising from the oldwood, and near the
base of the uew shoots. Two year old

largest quantity of fruit, although same
fine berries may be produced on the three
year old branches. Trail] the bush to
eix mein stems, two of whioh may be
removed eaoh season and replaced by
two vigorous young canes. All other
new ea0ee arising from the groand
should be removed. Head baok the two
new shoots about one-half and all other
new branched one third. Keep the head
of the baeb open enough to permit ot
free circulation of air and to admit
eomoieat eanligbt to ripen the fruit
properly,
BLADE 00000000.
The treatment of black ourrante does
not materially differ from that of reds.
The trait is borne on one year old sboote
arising from older branohee. Ae the
buebee grow larger and etroeger than the
reds, it is well to leave about eight 0ane0
renewing two each eeaeon. Head baok
the growth severely to encourage the
formation of many new spare from the
old wood for the production of fruit.
Leave the head open enough to permit of
free circulation of the air and the

Jonee avenue, returned:home, to find his
infant obild, whom be had thought dead,
still breathing, and with a faint hope of
reoovery. The little Doe had been etriok-
-eo with diphtheria, and the parents
watohed by ite side, until, on Friday, its
eyes closed and lite apparently left its
body. The father made the arrange•
menta for the funeral, eeoaring a plot in
the neighboring cemetery' of St. John's
°boroh. - Rev. W. Baynes Reid, the
