FARM AND GARDEN.
Effects Of Thinning Fruit Trees-Point-
ers for Poultrymen and Farmers.

Scarcely an annual exists, which usually dies
at the close of the season after ripening its
seed, but may be made to retain vigorous ex-
istence if its inhorescence be removed as soon
as formed. Mignonette is a very familiar ex-
ample, for this may be allowed to bloom; but
if its flower stalks be cut down before its seed
vessels are perfected, it becomes woody and
shrubby, and will live and bloom for three or
more successive years. But it will die the same
year If allowed to ripen its seeds. To illustrate
the point in question we have but to compare
the single and double flowers. The common
nasturtium is an annual, but the double nastur-
tium has become perennial. This is due to
the fact that the flowers, deprived of the faculty
OF producing seeds, do not exhaust the plant,
and it is probable that any flower rendered
double by cultivation may become perennial.
WHY FRUIT TREES ARE INJURED.
This explains why fruit trees are injured by
being allowed to ripen too large a crop of fruit.
If they are allowed to overbear themselves the
trees are weakened, rendered temporarily I'M
productive or even killed. For this reason the
thinning of fruit is one of the most important
operations of the garden, although it is proba-
bly, the one less generally attended to. On the
weaker branches of the peach and nectarine
an average space of eight inches should be left
between each brace of fruit, and on the more
vigorous branches the space should not be
much closer than five or six inches. The thin
ming of fruit in this way should not be confined
to the peach and nectarine, but it should ex-
tend to all of the fruits-especialy to the vino
apricot apple and pear. 1t should be done with
bold, fearless hand; and the perfection of that
which is left will amply reward the grower i'll
the harvest time. But the reward will not be
80 much this year as next. The trees kept I'M
weakened by overproduction will be able to
rlpen their wood and deposit that store of in
spissated sap in their vessels absolutely nee
essary for their fruitfulness next season.
THE REASON FOR THE OFF YEAR.
There is a general idea among farmers that
every other season is the great bearing time
for their fruit trees. If heavy crop is har-
vested this year. the next season will be con-
sldered as an ''off year, for the fruit trees.
The reason why some seasons go by without
the fruit trees producing much fruit is that the
trees ripened more fruit than they ought dur
ing the bearing year. The tree was injured by
the heavy burden imposed upon it, and it took
nearly year for it to recover from the effects
OF 1t. Ii the fruit is thinned each season, there
need be no off seasons for the fruit trees

work on the skif-bottom, center batten, seats,
gunwaies, skag, row-locks, &C., will be just the

three inches below the gunwale. From above

care should be taken to lay all the joints, when
making them fast, in thick white lead, and

THE REASON FOR THE OFF YEAR.
Bursting of the Cherry Tree.

The bursting of the bark on the trunk and
larger limbs of cherry trees is a very common
occurrence in different sections of the coun-
try, and this bursting usually causes the death
OF the trees. Various cures for this have been
suggested at different times Some have attrb-
uted the bursting to thin, poor soil, hard I'M
cultivated ground; to the lack of gravel and
sand, or to the lack of blue clay in the soil. 1t
is true that some particular kinds of soil will
diminish the amount of ascending sap in the
tree and thus prevent the bursting of the bark.
Shading the trunks of the trees from the sun has
also been found to be beneficial in this respect;
but this is often impossible and not at all advis-
able Cherry trees growing in the richest soil
will suddenly have the bark ON the limbs and
trunk to burst open and peel half off. The
trees continue to grow vigorously on the sound
side. but the bursting continues and the wounds
spread until the trees have to die. If burst
Ing trees are examined, it Will be seen that it is
the 'corticle" or outer ring-bark which bursts
first and seems to cause all of the damage. If
this is slit with knife and peeled off bursting
of the cherry tree will be prevented. Simply
Sitting the tree is worse than nothing. Entire
peeling alone is beneficial.
FROM SMOOTH TO ROUGH BARK.
Almost every tree passes a certain crisis in
changing from smooth bark into a rough
bark-that is, the original corticle from the
seed dies and splits and sheds off. For exam
pie, the shag-bark hickory throws it off, while
the pine keeps it on as dead covering. The
bark is thin and easily rotted and broken by
the expanding force Of the ascending sap Of
the tree, or it is thick, hard and strong ac-
cording as the soil is rich or poor If the
ground is then rich the corticle grows strong
and tough and it holds the tree in and prevents
it from expanding. This pressure is broken
through in several weak places and the bark
bursts wherever it occurs. Trees growing on
poor soil will not burst so soon as those on rich
soil and the work of peeling off the bark will
not be SO necessary, but the corticle should be
slit and peeled over trees that show an inclina-
ton to burst A. b. BARRETT.
