Pruning Fruit Trees.

Summer pruning tends to form Xuit
buds while trimming in the spring
produces wood growth. Trim each
year, but only enough to cut out cross
branches and water sprouts. A tree
can sometimes be induced to bear
yearly by removing half Of the fruit
buds and permitting it to bear q half
crop only each season. 1t is, hsw-
ever, usually more practicable to allow
nature to take its course and let the
trees bear each alternate year. Let
each tree assume its individual shape
and do not try to have all look alike

Sawdust on the Farm.

In many sections sawdust can be
purchased at price that makes it
valuable in farm operations. 1t should
not be used on light or sandy soils,
but on clay land or on land inclined
to be wet it will loosen up the soil as
we'll as enrich it, In the stock barn,
and especially with COWS, sawdust is
valuable for bedding, readily absorb
ing the liquid manure and retaining
it, so that the effect is plainly visible
when the sawdust is applied to the
soil as fertilizer. AS a summer
mulch for strawberry plants sawdust
is equal to anything used for that
purpose. 1t is too heavy for winter
mulch except between the rows, bu'
it may be used in connection WIFI
some coarser material like leaves OF
straw, and will be valuable. 1t mus
be remembered that the value OF saw
dust as fertilizer is but nominal an'
