On Pruuini?, The subject of pruning trees and vines ot all kinds, the mode, and tho I k time, and the amount <d pruning to be done, is receiving much attention irom pomologisia. As might be expected i froin the various experience or theoniim nf observer*, and the stand ooint i from which they thaw their conclu- [ sions, there is much diversity of opiit- c ion, some condemning it altogether,] and others advocating the free use of the knif. Theae discrepances are more apparent than real, if we keep in mind the true and ultinpew object ot pruning, and Lho ellcc/v U'e wish to produce. It may safely he asserted a? a general principle in vegetable physiology, that all pruning is mere or less lnjurinous to the well being of the living plant. In a state of nature, or when a tree or vine isjlett to itself, there is a grad" ual adj ustment and equilibrium ?*ntablished between the roots and branches. There are roots enough to absorb and carry up the nutritive fluid, and there are branches, u ith their leaven,enough to work it up and assimilate the nutrition. When this. equilibriua is disturbed, injury, (iitj';ase, or death follows. The degree'of injury will depend upon circumstances, such as the amount of pruning, the tiiue when it is done, and the constitution aad habits of t.hu particular plant. Some bear pruning be tier than others, and in winter better than in summer. We may take a lesson from iIte manner in which nature does her pruning. It is always a mire ami 'ale process* Take a young tree, a pine tor example. i There are a number of a/call laterals. As the tree grows upwards ami the trunk enlarges, the sap has a tendency*, to pass on to the upper portion; these laterals begin to lose their vitality, and ait length die out and fall to the ground. Jn the old tree there is not even a trace Jell of these primary branches, and there very scars are obliterated Very different is the effect v/heu, by artificial means, a vigorous, healthy --? litub is lopped oil. The equilibrium between roots and branches is suddenly destroyed, an/1 the plant receives a shock to its system, which impairs viJ' taiity to some extent* Hut in all kinds of cultivation, whether ioc jurivauient or lor iruit, we find it citi/;cihlhH:lc,';^ce somewhat the health lv .ugevity oi the plant lor some < .ad vantage to be gained, 4?t greater" ? ' . We. prune our fruit trees ar.d g*4te vines to keep them shaped bcUgeoUi resist the effect of a too hot sui{c df"^ liigb winds, and also by reduci. r,.e amount ot woody trrowth, to 1 in better Iruit. Mo al y so ol hedge lb Mother artificial shapes we in ay de?by?, produce.

Il the plant coul'l n%\ Mt'yish these requisites, it would ribionc wortlt the cultivation at all. C'm true end and aim o! all pruning, therefore, is to do jubt so much ot it and no more, as will give the best results, with the leas*, injury. And tins must ho ascertained by practical observation and experi? once. The above remarks are of course intended to apply to such things as arc growing and lixed permanently for life. In transplanting it is necessary to prune. No matter how careful a tree may be taken up, tbo roots are injured more or less, according to the care used. 1 In proportion as .To roots are lessened, so must we lessen the brandies. Even in transplanting small things from the nursery bed when all the roots can he secured, it requirs time lor the absorbing functions to commence tluir supply of fluid, aud so it i? best always to pinch oft* a portion of the leaves, and thus restore the equilibri um.?11.
