Fruitgrowers and beekeepers are beginning to assume their right rela- tion toward each other. The fruit men arc beginning to understand the value of bees as fertilizers of fruit blossoms and to admit that bees do not puncture fruit. The fact is that fruitgrowers are more indebted to the beekcepers than the latter arc to the fruit men. The honey taken from the blossoms $ more than repaid by the complete cross-fertilization or the blossoms hy bees.

PRUNING

The almond tree requires very little pruning. When the tree is first set out-say it is an average sized tree three feet high-cut on about eight inches of the top; that is all the cut ting to do to ii unless you find along in summer that the branches are making a long straight shoot of more than three feet: if so, then pinch of the ends of the shoots. Let it grow without further pruning until next season. If fthe following winter you find the branches so thick as to seriously crowd one another, cut out such ones as in your judgment you think best. Tn cutting out branches that crowd, it is best to be on the safe side and not cut out too many. for all the wood you cut of after the second and third year, you must remember, is wood that will seon bear. The more you cut tree the more it will grow to wood The less you cut the more limbs you have on the tree to bear However. no set rules can be given that may be followed every time. Your own Judgment must be used to some extent.
 Of course it is understood that the way of pruning here given will not give the tree nice pretty shape. such as you have seen pictures of. probably in Dowing's How to Grnw Fruits" Bnt an elegant shape is not what is wanted What we want is a big tree as socn as possible. with plenty Of limbs on it to bear. We are supposed to be growing almond trees for profit. not for their beauty. should strongly advise planting al- mond trees thirty feet apart each way, and then planting one tree in the middle oi each square. At the sixth year you will have gotten three crops from your trees, and then your trees will have grown So close together that you must cut ont the one in the mic dle of each square. In planting this way you get three crops of twice the number of trees you would If you diden't put in the tree in the middle of the square The Anderson Bros. here at Dayisyisville have an almond orchard Of fifty Live acres, and last year tho trees, three and four years old, netted them nearly 5000. This year the trees are much larger, and ther estimate between S.O0e0 and si2, GOO worth of almonds.

AllIotd tdHiDt DC cXCelleu IOi raising almonds. And for quick returns, and a crop easily. quickly and inexDcnsiycIv grown, the almond is the one above all others. It is the most easily cared for Of any kind Of nut or fruit bearing tree. lt is ex- tremely hardy, md ihe tree needs lit- tie or no pruning. The crop may be gathered leisurcly There need be no hurry to gather it within certain time, ike there is for fruit. It re- quircs no experience or practice to harvest the crop, for there is no sci- cnce needed such as there is in hand ling fruit We can get our almonds into the eastern markets so much earlier than the importers. that we have the great advantage over them of heingable Go supply tho demand first. md consequently get better prices That is ono advantage over imported almonds which Arizcna hardly needs for the new varieties of alm lnds now grown are so much larger and mor,. beautifully shaped than the oltl yarie. ties that our better looking nuts sell for higher prices right along idle of the foreign article. The Ne Plus Ultra California Paper shell, x |. and the Nonpareil are the names Of the better varieties. They commence bearing in three aud four years There is little or no labor attached to shc aryesting of . crop of almonds: and not only that you can almost choose yo,lr own time about harvesting any time after the nuts are ripe; vet it is safer Co gather them before any heavy rains come. It is liable to blacken them and make 1t difficult Co get them white again.
 WHEN AND HOW TO OTHER
 The nuts are ready to ga her when the hulls open disclosing the almond. usnally about the miedle uf Septem- her or the first of October. At this time grain harvesting is over. and there are usually plenty Of U len tollire out to whom you do not haze to pay fancy prices. You could not get your labor as cheap if your crop ripened in the summer. I;s gatherm large canvas sheet is spread under the tree. and the limbs are struck sharp blows with poles until all the nuts are shaken of. These poles are of the strsigiaicsl grained Oregon pine- about fifteen fcct long and one and one quarter inches square, with the edges rounded of a litih- This strik ng Of rhc limbs with poles does not 1iure the tree at all, aud besides, it hu.ls a portion of them.
 HOW TO PREPARE THE CROP
 FOR MARKET
 After gathering, the almonds are put through the hullng macltine. The almond huller Of the present day is a rather incomplete affair. It con- sists simply of an iron or wooden dra- per run by steam or horsepower, carrying end rubbing the unhr lied nuts against stationary top pi zee, which fits down just close enough to the draper to allow Of tho nuts pass ing through without breaking them. This rubbing and chafng tales the hull of, and then the nuts arc separa- ted from tbe bulls by hand, When the necessity comes for az almond uliiuIi g.q sepasgtlog ugsa!as, tlcFs
