The question: How much shall
prune my trees? comes 20 Us frequent
II. without any explanation of the coz
dit on OF the trees. We can not answer
such question any more than we could
say how much a man whom we never
saw and knew nothing at all about
should eat or how much sleep he needs
II is possible that the trees do not need
pruning at all They should not be
p-uaed unless some definite purpose is
TO be accomplished. Nature has made
the tree about right under ordinary cir
cumStances. She understands her busi-
ness. Now, the owner Of the tree wishes
10 prune it With what object? Are
the limbs inconveuientIy low? Then
1t may be desirable 10 prDne. Is the
tree too dense? Then pruning may he
recon- menied. But if there Is no clear
reason for taking off limb, why do 1t?
The removal of a large limb Is some
thing OF a shock TO the tree as the re-
moral of limb from the human body
is 10 the body. Then Mr.. Thomas
Mechan affrms that it is fact we
should always bear in mind that whe
trees are Topped OFF roots in like proper
