To Prune Bearing Trees.
Farm and Home


A question asked by many is, What is
the proper way to prune bearing trees?"
In old trees we not only prune to secure
symmetry and quality, but to re-
move all dead and diseased branches
and to induce fruitfulness. If the
orchards had been properly and fire.
quently pruned during the earlier
stages of growth, trimAing at this time
will simply consist of rubbing off the sue
culent shoots as fast as they appear, but
such a case as this is rare. Trees may be
seen all over the country which have never
been cut with shears or saw, and If the
work had been done 1t was accom-
plished with a common ak with
probably very little care. Large branches
should be cut away only when alb
solutely necessary, but the compact heads
found in some old, neglected orchards
necessitate the removal of a few large
limbs 1t is sometimes difficult TO select
the proper ones to remove, but IN such
cases the tree should be carefully studied
before beginning operations. An ordinary
pruning saw may be used, but the hmp5
should not be cut SO large proportion oil
their base remains, which Will require a
second pruning, nor so close 70 the main
stem as to injure the wood. A little prac-
tice in trimming will soon enable one TO
make iudicious selection OF large branches
and to effect their removal IN a proper
manner. When the large branches are cut
off the sur.ece OF the cuts should be pared
smooth with knife to facilitate healing
and to prevent water from soaking IN,
which is liable 10 - Use decay and 10 cause

vastly better price in the market. Add to
this the fact that the vitality of the tree is
not drawn upon 10 nearly so great an ex-
tent, and anyone may see where the profit

fruit every year, and the best profit will

CHICAGO, Aug. 15-Lum Out, q Young
Chinaman Of this city, is in serious pre-
dicament. An order has been promul-
gated throughout the city that be be boy
cotted. All good Cinnamon are or
dered not to talk, trade
or associate with him. Lum
is laundryman who has embraced the
Christian faith and converted q number of
his countrymen. He established In his
laundry Sunday-school, where meetings
were held every Sunday. The cause OF the
trouble is that certain Chinese merchants
believe that Lum furnished informa-
ton to the treasury agents which
led TO the detention at Winnipeg
of several Cinnamon who were returning
from visit home. They were recently
stopped, it will be remembered, at Peche,
in Manitoba, and although they had pass
ports it was believed the papers were the
property of others, and that they were
trying to break into the country for the first
time. When the news of their arrest reached
Chicago the colony here began to hunt
for the informer, and it was finally deter
mined that Lum was the guilty man. He
had been seen conversing with treasury
agents and had also paid visits to the gov
eminent buildings. Despite his protesta-
tons of innocence a boycott has
been pronounced against him. Some
wanted to kill him, but the man.
DARN would not hear of it.
What so greatly incensed the colony
leaders was that the information given to
the treasury agents was false, so they say;
the men arrested being bona tide residents
OF Chicago. From the information gath
cred this evening il is believed their story
is right and that the Cinnamon will be al
lowed to come to Chicago.

secretary of the treasury has directed that
the Chinaman named Chang, alias Woo
Lee, who was convicted at New Orleans of
unlawful entry into the United States, be
delivered TO the custody of the collector of
customs at San Francisco for deportation
to China. This man arrived at New

from Havana, and asserted that he was a
naturalized citizen. He produced GER

trial that he was not the person named in

serious than was at first supposed. All
corn and standing grain in its path is
utterly ruined. The hailstones crushed
them to the ground, and grain in shocks
also suffered severely. Many field hands
were badly bruised and cut about the head

teen to twenty inches deep on a level.
