The pruning knife and shears are
supposed generally TO be more etiica-
oious ifu used when the sap is flowing,
"a then the cut Is more apt to heal over
quickly and leave no scar. This may
be true, but there is so much work to
he done in spring that it would be
good policy to prunc at any time of the
wear whom one has time, for the prm-
ing season il only limited to the lpngth
Of the year, and ifput OF until spring,
is done too late, ornot Mt all. / know Of
an orchard that WAS in part pruned
after bloom time, and the history of
chat pruning would bo a valuable essay
on The science Of pruning at large. Up
to certain time all the trees that
were well pruned bore heavy crops of
pears and prunes, and those pruned
later bore very few or none. If one
knew the date when the pruning was
done, it Wou!d have been easy to tell
which trees were prungl before or after
u certain date by the way they bore or
did not bear fruit
Naturally, you should prune trees in
the same order they bloom and try TO
have the pruning done before the
bloom time comes. can not surely say
if the idea is right or wrong that Some
people have, but many are prGiudiced
againts pruning while trees are in
bloom or early set for fruit, as they
claim the effect ON the tree is disastrous,
by causing the fruit to blight. My own
experience is not conclusive, but when
| have pruned young trees when in
bloom, have several times had no
fruit 1t would be wen enough to call
out the experiments Of old fruit-men
on this point. 1t may be possible that
very young trees would show poor re-
suits when older ones would not he af-
luc5cG. Anyhow, February is a month
when the pruning can be done, usually
to the best advantages, and one can
prune if the Mromd is wet or dry, which
cannot be s,itl Of pioWing-L fruits AMI
flowers.

A Solution.

The following is solution Of
the problem submitted to the Sc
Nor class in arithmetic of Monte.
rey School:
The amount of 81 for twenty
years at 6 percent is S3.2O7135o
and hence S5O,O00X$3. 207l355=
S1GO,356.775. Now $l60,356.775-
S23,O00=s137356.775. Now the
sum of 81 plus the amt Of 81 for
|, 2, 3,etc., including 10 years Is
$50. 7S55018. Therefore S13735-
.775-:-S36.7 S55916=S3,7 33.983 is
AS income. Hence by easy meth
cd we find that at the expiration OF
eight years more the debt is cam
celled and A has S298.4S in hand.
