Thin the Fruit.

Thinning fruit on the trees is work that
will be in order now, and until the crop
is ready to harvest It may look like a
big Job. and one that would not pay. to
thin the fruit on large orchard OF large
overbearing trees. There is work in it.
and perhaps it would not pay. Each must
Judge for himself as to the prospects of
profit from the operation. 1t Certainly
will not pay to thin fruit that at last will
be fit only for cider, or for feeding to cat
tie or hogs. What we claim is that good
| frnit that is to be marketed when grown.
will bring much better prices, and that
the trees will bear quite as many bushels,
| if. in MANY cases, one-half OF the plumber
OF specimens are removed before they are
done growing. A large pear or apple
| "a i'll ALWAYS bring more than two small
ones of equal weight. and often the large
fruit will sell when the small would find
no market at all. This is particularly true
in years of over abundance.
It doesn't look now as if apples or pears
would be excessively plenty this season.
and what good fruit there is will probably
sell at fair prices. But manv trees have
the habit of overbearing whenever they
bear at all. Every deformed specimen,
and every one having an insect in it. should
be picked off early in the season, that the
strength of the tree may expend itself on
perfect fruit only. The wormy fruit
should be destroyed. or placed where the
worms will die. Deep burial in the earth
will usually kill. 80 will fire and water.
Cattle. sheep and swine will economically
use up wormv fruit that is nearly ripe.
Very green fruit is of but little value as
TODD for stock.
Children can be trusted to do good
deal of the work Of thinning fruit. after
being taught how. They are light. and
can climb over the trees or up ladders
easier than can heavy adults. An aid in
the work will be little swalowtailed.
or forked shaped instrument, made out of
an old file, and inserted in the end of a
light pole. The fork can be passed under
the stem of an apple or pear, when, by a
turn of twist of the pole in the hand, the
stem will be broken and the fruit will TALL
to the ground 1t is pretty good rule to
take out one of every pair of apples or
pears hanging from the same spur. Where
specimens touch each other the Goblin
moth is quite apt to deposit an egg, and
then both specimens are ruined. Do not
be afraid to thin severely when the fruit is
small and over abundant. We seldom
realize that tree is over bearing till the
weight begins to endanger breaking of
the branches.
