SCIENCE OF PRUNING.
branches should BE So Clipped That
the Tree VIII Become More
Perfect Each Year.

! The man who undertakes to train VI
Il tree accepts something of a moral re-
sponsibility, and should remember this
when he begins to rrune il. l stood a
few days ago and saw a gardener prun-
ing some plum trees, and soon saw he
was cutting them back simply because
ii is common practice to do so. When
he was done with tree it was SYM
metrical and we'll shaped, but most of
those he pruuCd were left so they will
need pruning next year in order to
bring them into shape again.
In pruning Il tree the Orchardist
should have in mind the shape the tree
should have at maturity and so clip its
branches that each year it will become
more perfect. This is not a task for a
IhOughtless and careless man. The ter
minal bud on each branch shortened
should point toward the place that
needs filling worst. If the tree is one
sided il should he so pruned that it will
grow into a well-balanced head. This
does not always leave the tree as nice
looking as it would be if pruning were
a matter for to-day or for n week or a
month. The buds on branch grow out
so as to form a spiral, and with care
the branch may be shortened so as to
have a bud pointing the way the tip of
the branch should grow to make the
tree most slightly. 1t is possible by pay
ing attention to this to grow trees in
any shape desired, and the Chinese and
Japanese are fond of so pruning trees
that they will present various odd
shapes. In this country we have an
ideal for each kind of a tree, and if we
are careful i'm training them by proper
" pruning the head we can make the
worst-formed tree shapely and slightly.
The man who so pTunes a tree this
year that it must be done over again
next year does not understand his bust
ness. The skillful orchardist prunes his
trees in such manner that no two
Near-old wood ever need he cut out of
IL. This is the secret of proper prun-
ing. but there are very few who under
stand and fewer who follow strictly the
best models.-Bert Carroll. in Farmers
Voice.

Martin Fitzpatrick of this city met with

was in the lead when Ruiz, of New Ha-

onto a bank. Ruiz won the heat.
In the one mile open, with handicap
of sixty yards Fitzpatrick was leading
in the third lap and looked like a sure
winner, having passed ali of the riders
who had handicap over him, even the
ones who had as great a handicap as
$50 yards Thinking he had ridden
around the course four times, it being
a quarter mile track, Fitzpatrick slowed
up as he came in under the wire the
third time and pulled to one side. He
was greatly surprised to see the riders
who followed him keep on for another
lap and then he realized what he had
done.
James Kinnear and Sam Palmer of
this city, who left here at o'clock Sat-
