TRIMMING APPLE ORcuARDs.--W We think it
immaterial whether apple trees are trimmed
now or in May or June, provided that none
but small limbs are cut Such wounds are
nearly healed during the season, and as but

But many farmers neglect to trim an
nually. Therefore they feel obliged TO cut
larger limbs than they would need to in case
We prefer to have e little trimming each
year.
Mind and not tread on limbs with nails in
your boots, Soft shoes are more proper for
climbing fruit trees,
