For some time past several l'ii'iglish horticultural journals have furnished interesting matter as to the respective ntcrils of the pruning and ruin-pruning of fruit-trees.

Lane‘s Prince Albert apples showed the least difference, but. still it was clearly do. fined. The trees of each kind of fruit only slightly pruned exhibited inter- mediate effects.

Prince Albert, arc gimving under equal conditions in :il' respects except in regard to prun- ing. li‘ive trees in one row have been annually and carefully pruned. Three trees in the next row have been amin- ally and badly (or roughly) pruned, and tin-cc trees in the same row have not l-ccn primed. All the trees came from the same source, and from the same par- ccl of trees, and were plant-ed on the some day. liach tree has prtiiduced more or less fruit every year since 1890 to thud, inclusive. and the average weight per tree for the whole of that period is: Three badly-pruned frees yielded l.‘.t‘.).ft pounds of fruit per tree; three tum-pruned trees. 183.6 pounds of fruit pci tree: five well-pruned trees, [05 pounds of fruit, pcr tree. In order that readers may tii'idrr5laiid the size and .i'narkct value. as well as the economic value of the fruit, 28 pounds of the largest apples "were so- lcctcd from each stored sample. and the following. after careful counting. was the result: Seventy apples from it.u \vellâ€"j’iruned trccs weighed '28 pounds, 125 apples from the badly pruiu cd trees weighed 28 pounds. When sold, the fruit from the well-prumxt trees realized from $2.10 to $2.50 per cwt., that. from the inidly-pruncd trccs $1.45 per cut. and fruit from non- pruncd trees $1.20 per cwt. It is thus shown that the non-primed and bilttty-pl‘llllcd trees have up-io-dntc )“il‘OtIllCL‘t'I nearly double the quantity of fruit produced by the “well-pruned: it is also shown that the latter have pro- duced fruit nearly twice the value of ihr fonmcr. which makes them about equal in value (commercially) up to the end of 1906.

Gradually the conviction has forced its-cit on unwil- ling minds that pure-bred dairy cattle, unless persistently selected and bred for Constitution and 1)Cl'f_)l‘llltlllCC. are bound to deteriorate to the point where their average usefulness will“ be no higher, and oficn actually lower than that. of grades or scrubs. A higher level --'I utility. which is protitablciicss, «can be developed and maintained only by con- stant rational selection and breeding io that end. , Moreover, every wide-awake dairy- nzan now knows that. appearance, or so-callel outward evidences, of dairy usrfulncss, though perhaps of some sig- nificance iii a general way. are often as deceiving as sin. (food judges if dairy cattle may pick out. some good rows, but the best of them cannot be de- pcndcd on to discern all the best cows of a herd, much less to rate their so- leciions in order of proportionate value. This can be done only by careful, con- scientious testing with the milk scales and Balicock lest, applied for scvcral successive milking periods; and until brccd aSsociuiions commence official testing on this tho-mugh and exhaus- tive basis. we shall never be able to breed dairy cattle so intelligently as we should. Putt while this is the case, much gotid has been done by testing for shorter periods. liven a work's or a month‘s test is better than none, at though very liable to exalt onc‘s esti- mation of the cow that milks well when itch and then drops off, as contrasted with the steady. j'icrsistciit mitkcn. Much can be done to guard against such injustice by rclcsling eight months after frcsliening, and taking the two trsis in conjunction. Best of all, how- ever. and by far the simplest .nicihod, is the careful keeping of a milk record throughout the year, and your after year, with occasional unannounced vis- its from an olllciul iiispcctt'ir. who will watch several inilkiiigs, and compare the weights of milk with those record- ed for previous days, to see ‘whcfhcr they correspond, and will then take samples for inbcock tests. to dcieriiiinc thr average percentage of fat. It is such work as this that the Dominion Department of Agriculture is carrying on. free of charge. for the Canadian dairy-hired associations, and no better line of effort was over unilcrtakcn by a I)cpar';:ucnt of Agriculture. It will now be up to dairy-men to acquaint themselves with the liccords of Por- formance of the breeds in which they are individually ii‘itcrcsted. and, when buying heifer calves or young bulls, to insist on knowing the otlicial milk and butter-fat records of their dams and grai'ii'liims. li‘oi'tuuatcly, there will soon be plenty of breeders of blooded stock ready and anxious to supply them.
