trees. By heavy pruning is meant one
half the new growth. The apple needs
much pruning, but prune when limbs
are small and in winter to make timber
growth. But for fruit prune just after
the terminal bud has formed" Farmers

pruning TO get growth Of tree or powth
Of fruit. J. J. W.
"SucCOrs-water sprouts" he contin-
ued, "should be rubbed off when first
starting, the sooner the better, but better
late than not at all.
Pears should be pruned by thinning
out head and cutting back the upright
shoots. To make the ounce fruit well,
always prune heavily. The pear is in
clned to grow too tall the only remedy
is to cut back. Never put stable manure
near the trunks Of trees but away from
trees for the roots Of any tree are longer
than the top.

" dry quarters must be had. To secure
this he raises the earth to 10 inches in
side Of house and cements the floor. A
we'll raised, dry earth floor is better than
plank. Never put eggs too close TO the
ground when setting, except perhaps
very late in the season. The best Toost
for young chicks until bad weather ia
low headed peach trees. Profits vary

very lightly, the catch atseeding being to
uncertain. But he has never made
