Trimming Trees.

There are frequently pleasant days in
january that the weather is not too cold
for the fruit grower to work in his
orchard comfortably. As this is usually
a season of leisure, when such days come
they should be improved by looking over
the orchard, and cutting off such limbs
as may be thought necessary for the i'm
provement of the orchard. Limbs cut
OF ut this season of the year. when the
sap is comparatively at rest, leave a
wound that can be more easily protected
from the action of the weather, than il
cut few months hence, when the SAP is
in motion.
otrim tree just right. requires good
Judgment. good eye and some expert
ence, as well as good tools. The saw
should not be only sharp but perfectly
straight. and set wide enough to run
easy; the knife and the Ak should also
be sharp. To trim trees with poor tools
is not only very disagreeable work, but
It is impossible TO do the work well.
Some make 4 mistake in trimming
trees by trimming too much in the mid,
die, cutting out not only large limbs but
also all OF the fruit-bearing spurs, leaving
but small amount of bearing wood at the
end of each limb. While it is desirable
to cut out all limbs that cross the other
limbs and to keep the inside of the tree
SO that the fruit can be easily gathered,
there is point beyond which it is not
ludiclous to go, us some of the best fruit
frequently grows in the center Of the
Tree; this is especially true of some vari-
eties of apples.
There are some pear trees that grow
too high, and need to have their tops cut
on to make them grow more stocky.
The peach tree not only needs to be cut
oil at the top but to be headed in on all
sides.
In trimming small trees one thing
should never be lost sight of; that is,
that the trunks should never be exposed
to the hot sun; if the top does not =; ;.rea,l
enough To shape it, few inches of the
lateral branches should be left to furnish
leaves for shade Where large limbs are
cut off the wound should be covered with
gum shellac dissolved in alcohol, or white
lead mixed with Il very little oil-Mas-

sorption of money by boarding, in re-

for the savings of the people are found,
has begun to have q marked effect upon
the supply at commercial centerS. This
is inconvenient, but people will hide

monkey. .sHis name was Jocko. Like
all monkeys, he was a great mimic.
F. Qne day my brother sat down. at his
desk to write a. letter. Jockoy jumped
into a chair to watch him.. His little
forehead wrinkled up, and he scratched
his headlwith his paw. SAs my brother
folded his letter. and put IL IN the envel-
ope, and stamped it, Joeko's funnyslit-
tie face seemed to laugh all over. 81
