He qn? derstands pruning grape vines and col uvtttiug airawdernesjj, doc raspDerries fll ? are beyond him." VUif> In pruning trees we are carefal to 4 confine the operation to 'certain. sea4 sons of the year, when the trees will X not "blead to death" from the knife, t J or to cover the wounds with wax or \ paint, for the same reason.

Go into theprim# eval forest, where the sound of the ax s has never been heard, and see how 4 perfect are the pines and spruees iu a their symmetry, how graceful and # beautiful the tamaracks, bow sturdy > their in- A and flourishing the oaks and maples. ^ "Father, Thy hand has reared these'Teaemv ble columns; , # Thnrt H Mot naatta K?AA# H ^ 1.UWU U1UOV T?
