There are many farmers and

should be thinned out before they
have made much growth; n the main
branches are bare, or il the head il
open in places, suckers would be al.
lowed to grow where they will cover
this condition. If parts of the trees
are weak in growth, this weak wood
may be cut out and some of the suck.
ers allowed to grow in its place.
The cause of these sprouts is that
the sap becomes impeded by the
bending down of the branches, with
weight of fruit, by the hot sun strik-
ing the branches. or perhaps by some
injury to the bark in pruning or gath
ing the fruit. and nature makes this
effort to repair the injury. The re-
moval of these suckers will soon re.
suit in the death of the tree, while
allowing some of them to grow where
needed will renew the vigor of the
tree.
(6.) If large branches are to be re-
moved, make the cut in the middle of
the enlarged part where it joins the
main branch or trunk, and not quite
in line with the face of the main
branch or trunk.
(7.) Paint all wounds above one
half inch in diameter with linseed oil
paint, gas tar or grating wax.
(S.) Never cut away the main
branches of a tree if it can be avoid
ed, but thin out the head, when ii
becomes crowded, from the outside.
This can be quickly done with prun-
ing hook on long pole, and little
or no injury will result; while II the
large branches are cut from the trunk
the tree is weakened and soon dies,
or is broken down.
(9.) Cut off dead branches as soon
as discovered and cover the wound
with paint to prevent further decay.
(1o.) In training young trees, start
the branches low; the trees will grow
better, the thinning and gathering
the fruit will be more easily done, and
the cultivation can be as well and
cheaply done with the modern Acme
or spring-toothed harrow and weeder
as if the head were higher, while the
trunk of the tree and ground under
it will be so protected that growth
will be better than If more exposed.

over, and shake the dirt from the
roots in any convenient way. A po-
tato hoe is good tool for the pur-
pose. Or coverthe land heavily with

Almost everybody needs tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigoratc the brain and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this is be-
yond all question. Everyone who has
tried it has had the same experience as
Mrs. d. w. Undertake, of Lynchburg,
Va, who, in q recent letter, made use
of the following words: i always
take dose of Peruna after business
hours, as it is q great thing for the

and i have used about all Of them"
Cafarrh in Spring.
The spring is the best time to treat
catarrh. Nature renews herself every
spring. The system is rejuvenated by
spring weather. This renders medicines
more effective. A short course of Pc

will cure old, stubborn cases of catarrh
