No. 3 Pruning for the express purpose of dev:etoping fruit -uuds eras not yet become a common practice in this country. Walter, P. Weighty one o; the best of British author- ities on . horticultural matters, states that "The formation of ?fruit buds can be absolutely in "' aured by proper summer pruning, but t it is expert dinglelr-aha. thumb work, and commercial grow .•ers it Great Britain rarely practice it." The writer does not expect: our growers to Lind time for the expert methods of the English and .French: rpomologists. We ,hope, however to see adaptations made of Old Country ,practices to suit •our !conditions. Labor 'is more cosy here, but it is ,not'. at all unlikely that it will spay us to put .moj•e time on our orchards, to .the :sena that we may melte larger pro- fits therefrom. We need mien who will specialize in apple -growing .to the same extent ,that some fete in the Niagara belt havio 'specialized in, peaches. Specialization means, ulie adoption of more intensive methods, and the anen who are lead ing the way to -day .are those who sap things best It is true that in Great Britain the moat expert prac tices are confined to those who grow fruit for exhibition, but it is also true that commercial growers in that country adopt, to a cer- tain extent, such practice's as sum- mer pruning and rootpruning. The wideawake growlers of the :Pacific slope 'began lecpeelmeb)tingwith these advanced method ,some years' ago, and growers in many ,sec- tions of British Columbia and, the Western States are bringing trees into bearing at .art early ag(e{,'part ly, at least, through following Old World. practice. It need ,searee,ly be said that e, these practiceare of use only with trees that are growing very rapidly, or which ,for some rea- son fail to set fruit buds. • If trees blossom `well, and fail to develop Fruit, the trouble must be .sought in other /directions. Our object now is to understand' how trees may( be (made to bloom. , Vir, 'Wright states that the "expert fin- ger-andl-thumb work" referred to above (this applies to apples. pears, plums, and cherries) con- •aistsjof "pinching," which is 'best done: twice; first, when the side shoots have formed' Six good leav- es; eav-es; and, secondly, six weeks later. Watch Your Liver. If It Is Lazy, Slow or Torpid p d Stir It Up By the Use of Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills. A lazy, slow or torpid liver is a terrible affliction, as it holds back the bile, which is required to move the bowels, and lets .t into the blood instead, thus causing Zonstipation, Catarrh of the Stomach, ;ick Headache, Langour, Pain under the slight Shoulder, etc. Mrs. Wesley Estabrooks, Midgic Sta- ion, N.B., writes:—"For several years 1 had been ;troubled with pains in • the iver. I have had medicine from Several loctors, but was only relieved for a time :y them, : I (then tried Milb'urn's taxa- fiv,er Pills, end I have had no trouble with, my liver since. 1 can: honestly recommend them to every person who has liver trouble. k, Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are `25c # vial, or 5 vials for 51.00, at all: dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of price by The 'T.: 'M1filbiun C.

At•the first stopping; the lend( of the shoot is pineaele off, and at, the second the ends of the second/ ary growths are removed." In 'no case are the leading •shoots headed off, nnlles•s it is desiiaredto increase their number by ,eausinlg them to branch( The idleal is to develop enough main branmehes to .fill up the head, without croWc1- ing, and then, by (proper hand- ling of the side !9'hoots, to de- velop fruiting spurs along the en- li tire, length of the male branches.. Pinching as soon as Ithe later•'ll growths have developed six good leaves will result, of course, in secondary growth, which must be carefully titlle(nsded to later. To avoid, the neigelssity of doing the work ,twice, commercial rgrowlers, cut these sidle :shoots. about the middle of August, or at a time when . they :have .nearly, finished growing, to six . good heaves, . At the esubsequeet winter pruning, these side shoots are agiain, short- ened to spurs, two or tthree buds in length. This treatmi st is -spec ially recommended 'for strong - growing, ,dense-h(eaded varieties like our Northern Spy. At the win ter pruning, the tops of varieties of this type :,shouldi be thiune(9 outtto admit liglpt, but no head- ing of leading branches should be practised. In the following Aug ust, summer pruning as doscribel above should be made use:of :for the purpose of causing develop- ment of fruit buds. It should not be neqessary, under.' this method of handling, to wait 'fifteen! or teven twelve tears for fruit. Summer pruning begun :at five or six years, should result in fruit bear- ing:'at eight or nine, (and proba- bly earlier. On the question of ,root pruning I 'cannot do better (tha:n quote one of the best authorities (Pictorial Practical resit -Growing, by i'W.P. Wright); "When alt is said and done on the •subject i of pruning, it remains the•fact ,that thiel real secret of fruitfulness! in a( tree lies at the root. If else roots are right, the :Fruit will cornet—large fruit, finely colored, and plenty of it. Pruning the branches of fruit trees hei'aomes a nedesspty when we have to grow thteen on the restrictive system to spit small areas of ground ; but, were it not for that, the knife might be kept away from thenv .after thle first early shaping, without any harm resulting;,, fin fact, with positive benefit, "The first thing to do is to get the soil into the right mechani cal condition for holding moisture through long periods of drouth, and for permitting the 'trete in- sress of air. When this condition 'secured, !early relifting will do nearly all the nest. If sl young tree is lifted and put back main the second }gear after plantsntg, the stronger roots ane broken, and exuberant leaf action is (checked. Beyond paring over:the ends of all broken roots with a sharp knife nothing need be done:. The tree is.'simply taken out and put back again. A young tree should not be lifted .when the growth ie short and fruit .spurs aro forming fasts but should be liftedwhlea the sum mer growths are nummelrous, are .li inches long. or more, and dlevoid of fruit bulls. Begin three feet ffrom the tree, work carefully to- wards the •stem, and, as goon as fibres are met with, delve down he low the tree and work it out. The operation may be p eformed as soon as the leaves ripen in Autumn if the weather be showery and the soil moist; but if dry it should be defeirr)ed» With those that . are too large to lift, "it is well to l make a treech around the tree so as to get at the roots, doing hall one year, and half the next, when - iever. ar tree seiems disinclin- ed: to bloom. A special jetffort should be made to cut any large roots which strike downward into the subsoil, as they ane a frequent' source of :unfruitful top growth." There is no rleieson why root pruning . of this kind ',should not give the same results in this! coun- try thasimply it does n ass to "wheth and. It is simply n q er our growers can afford: to take the' necessary time (for performing 'the operation. It' will no doubt pay •usl to. experiment in Ca small way, at least, as we undloi bt,el,9ty have many cases in which itis , de- sirable to: hasten fruit -blearing • the proper,. time for root, pruning, it .may be that'' n our climate' early spring' tea the more favorable season, al - thought ;it is proabble thatthe operation could, be successfully car nt. ried an at either time.

Lady-ibson's Annual Reception. at Government House Dear Mr. :Greig,—During • my work this year throughout Great Britain, I have come across a large: number of men with families who cannot pay their °flares, and: it has occurred; to me that ,a little co- operation betwieien the farmers, in your district, or 'with your Asso- ciation, might enable us to very satis(F(actorily supplyt he w,ants:of those 'farmers who require good skilled_ help. Tees men:I refer to on this side are: in manly cases ,heads, of families, (and good .largee families at that. They have work- edron :(arms for ,hnany seers, in some eases singe boyhood; and are thoroughly skilled and (practical men in agriculture, as it is practised on his side. Their wages, in many cases run from 14s (IB33,50) to l5st :(ia6.75) and you can readily under• stand that they eannbt pay Tares th•elnsellestr. This is not a sign of lack of carefullness in marfee mat- ters. You will readily und;eirstand that itis utterly out of the ques- tion for men negeiving salaries as above mentioned and having to live athome, to properly support their !families and have abank recourse Incase farmers in that district are/ willing to put up from $30 to $35 per man weca r n Assume excellent help. The men helpers to are fully experienced in agricultural work in this country, and Ism enclosing two forms giving descriptions of men wehave in hand atpresent,.as well as a letter describing another large • family from Cornwall. The Government are assisting a number of men, but cannot 'distribute all their meats in one locality. Some of them leave Tamilies behind in the hope of being able to bring them out at the end: of the season. If the suggestion I ,have men- tioned that the, farmers; in your district put up a little assistance, is adopted, it will mean that we will be placing our menthrough- out ., g throb b- out the Province, and .such addi- tional help .to the Government's present arrangements will enable us to properly strep:,* the want of our people. I hope 3'ou will commend this suggestion to those requiring help' ands we may have the pleasure of giving satisfaction to the farmers in your district by ,supplying them with good skilled ,help.
