AaRIOULI'URE,

THERE is no operation connected with
fruit growing about which there exists
so much apprehension and diversity of
opinion as about pruning. Many prune
too much. others too little, and very
few just right. Every owner of fruit
trees should understand tho objects and
principles of pruning, so that ii he does
not Go the work himself lie may direct
and supervise those who do it for him.
Ordinarily hired men competent to prime
trees and vines judiciously are exceed
ingly scarce; and in many cases the
trees and their proprietor would derive
more benefit by paying the pruners for
staying away rather than to admit them
to the grounds and permit their mutila-
tions. We have seen SO called ''prorcs-
sionals" divest strong, thrifty pear trees
of nearly every one OF their fruit spurs
which had been many years in forming.
They were ignorant of the fact that
trees required bearing buds to produce
fruit. Pruning without thorough un-
derstanding of its objects and purposes,
is like blind-man's buf-you may hit
the right one, but generally il is the
other way.
