Pruning Tools.
Our Country Home.


The mild days of the late Winter or
early Spring offer to many farmers a
more valuable time for pruning fruit
trees than Is found later. A few re-
marks upon the outfit neended are
therefore in order.
Perhaps TIE two most indispensable
requisites are good pruning saw, and
what is known as pole shear. The
former is used for cutting eff all limbs
thicker than the little finger, while
the later serves an excellent purpose
for cutting sprouts and smaller
branches.
Saws are now made expressly for
pruning, SONS of which are a great
improvement over the common car
penter's saw for the purpose. The
best form which we have seen
has tie blade slightly crooked like
that of a sword, with teeth cut on
both edges. On the convex edge, the
teeth point towards the appendix OF
the blade, while on the other. they
point towards the handle. The round
ed edges cause the teeth to take hold
we'll, snd as the concave edge has
teeth pointing towards the handle, it
cuts on the draw motion. Hence a
limb may be severed without difficulty
though it can only be reached with
the point of the saw, and that nearly
at an arms length; an important con-
sideration in pruning large trees.
The pole shears consists Of a strong
knife, attached to the end Of a light
pole, and arranged so that the knife
may be operated by means of a lever.
1t is very convenient tool, and one
who has used it will hardly wish to
do without it aftarward. With small
trees the pruning may be almost all
done from the ground, as by the aid
of the pole, limbs may De readily cut
off ten or twelve feet from the ground.
The operator always needs to use
care not to attempt to cut too large
limbs, as the knife will not bear a
branch much thicker than the little
finger
We Iced hardly add that a light
ladder is almost indispensable adjunct
In tree pruning.
