Horticultural Notes
BY r. Walden

The question has been asked me as to the
best time of the year to prune an apple
orchard. That depends. If pruning is done
in the latter part of winter or in the early
spring the result will be wood growth.
But if pruning is done in the month of June
the result is the formation of fruit buds. So
the rule is: Winter pruning for wood
growth and summer pruning for fruit
growth. But we must not be mislead by
this we'll established rule. 1t by no means
follows that when we prune in winter we
will have no fruit buds. What the rule means
in this case is that there will be no in
creased formation of fruit buds as the result
of winter pruning. Anything that mars
tree at the time of the formation of the
cambium layer causes the increased forma-
ton of fruit buds A dying tree will have
more fruit buds all other things being equal,
than healthy tree 1t seems to be an effort
of nature to reproduce itself before dying
Pruning is in some sense war on nature
and if done at the right time, results in an
effort to reproduce itself But there is an
other fact to be reckoned with and that is
that this warning on nature improves the
quality of fruit Nature not only seeks re-

is often good for a man and according to
HOLY Writ "vie1ds the peaceable fruits OF
Righteousness" SO it is with a tree-there
is an increase in the quality Of its fruit This
NAV be called in question by nv esteemed
friend. Prof A. B. Leckenbv. But | know
that the readers of the Ranch will thank me
for calling him out for he is thoughtful
man and his contributions to the press are
thought awakeners even when we can not
fn11v subscribe to his positions. And Just
here let me saw that friendly and courteous
criticism is never to be deprecated Tor IN
this way we finally arrive at the truth.
When pruning and it becomes necessary
to cut off large limbs the wounds should be
painted over with some kind of cheap paint.
This will prevent cracking and will keep
out the water which is sure to cause rott1ng,
If a tree is pruned properly from the be-
ginning there will be no need OF cutting OFT
large limbs But this early pruning is not
always properly done. Even the most
careful primer will find as the tree grows
that some mistakes have been made. 1t
takes the eve of an artist to see the future
tree in the little switch that stands before
him in the nursery or in the newly set ap-
pie orchard. So some of these wounds will
be inevitable All limbs cut off an inch
or more in diameter should have the wounds

THE RANCH.

1t was conclusively shown at the late
meeting of the Northwest Fruit Growers
Association, Spokane, February 3-4-5, that
the sulphur, salt and lime spray would kill
the eggs of the green aphis. In the cooler
sections of our country like Montana and
the higher attitudes of Northern Idaho and
Washington, the green aphiS does much
harm to young trees. In the warm, sum
shiny valleys like the Yakima and the
Wenatchee this insect is not serious pest.
The hot sun of the summers cooks them and
they die off to such an extent that their in
juries are light For the same reason it is
not necessary to spray for the hop aphis i'll
these valleys. But where it is necessary to
fight the green aphis, nothing can equal the
timely destruction of the eggs of this in
sect by spraying with sulphur and lime.
[ would like to give note of warning
with reference to the use of Fruit Preserva-
tives' in putting up canned fruit. Don't
The Iowa Experiment Station has examined
many of these compounds and found them
to be dangerous. They contain borax, Dor
acic acid, salicy1c acid or formadehyde The
last named is a deadly poison. Don't use
any of these compounds Don't buy any
thing to eat or drink unless you know Of
what it is composed. If I wanted to drink
whiskey I would not use the stuff that is Of
ten sold in the markets. A friend Of mine
a few years ago gathered fourteen speci-
mems of whiskey from the saloons and drug
stores and took them to the state agricul-
tural college and had them analysed and not
one of them was pure. Some contained
Strychnne others benzlne or Stront1a, log
wood or other poison. Now INSCRIPTIONS
compounds are by no means confined to
whiskey 1t is true that we have pure food
laws and they do much good in Kidding our
markets of these unwho1esome compounds.
But I don't want them anyhow
While calling attention to the de1eterious
compounds Just alluded to, it NAV not be out
of place to direct attention to some that are
not injurious, but for which claims are put
forth that are wonderful exagerations. Bat
tie Creek, Mich, seems to be noted for
putting forth cereal foods that are "ten
times more nutritious than beef steak, oat
meal or common bread" The Practical
Farmer gives these things the black eye in
the following fashion,
The Maine Experiment Station has been exam
lining some of the cereal foods SO largely adj
vertised and sold, and while in general way these
have been found good and wholesome the Station
ridicues some of the claims made for them. 1t is
claimed that "the system will absorb greater
amount of nourishment from pound of grape
nuts than from ten pounds of meat, wheat oats
or bread" The analysis of the Station shows that
one pound would contain OH of pound of pro-
ten while ten pounds of bread would contain 080
of pound of protein. and ten pounds of rolled
oats would contain 150 pounds of protein. The
fuel value of the grape nuts would be 1870 cal
cries, and that of the oats 1860 calories. Ten

born there. We would run out of timber if
this should be done for it is notable fact
that the best men and women in these pro-
fessions come from the farms. Boys that
grow up i'll the cities often are weak in
body and to some extent feeble in mind.
The big burly coarse listed boys that come
from the farms and enter our colleges near
1y always forge ahead of the little spindle
legged, dollhouse looking specimens that
come from the city.
But if too many of our country boys and
girls drift into the city, we can remedy that
to great extent by making the farm more
attractive. And this is going on very rap
idly. An exchange has this to say as to the
relative advantages of the city and country
Out at the state fair last fall we heard farmer
and city merchant talking about the advantages
and attractions of rural life, and the farmer told
the merchant that they had their groceries and
dry goods delivered to their door. They could
talk over the telephone to their neighbors, call up
the doctor, order the butcher to send up porter
house, the roasts or whatever is needed. The mer-
chant replied that they had all these conven-
fences in the city, but the farmer continued:
when you want to mail letter you take it
to the postofce, or go to some corner and drop it
into mail box. Out at the farm Uncle Sans
servants call every day to if we have any let
ters to send, want to get any money orders, reg
lister any letters, want to buy any postage stamps,
and will take all the mail matter to the office for
us. Yes" he said, things getting pretty handy
at the farm, and 1 don't blame the city people for
wanting to go out into the country and enjoy some
of the good things of life" 1t is true that the farm
is attracting people from the city year by
year, and the spirit of the twentieth century
with all it's improvements and advantages shall
sweep over the country, rural life will become
still more pleasant and attractive and the country
will be the refuge of the city people instead of the
city refuge for the country people.
The question is up for discussion whether
insect pests should be referred to as "Insect
Foes" or "Insect Friends" Prof. A. B.
Cordley, of Oregon, recently began an adj
dress before the Oregon State Horticultural
Society as follows: "From an chronological
standpoint it is almost to be considered a
eodsend that new pest has come to Oregon,
but I am aware that as to this matter there
are different points of view" Combating
these pests the fruit grower learns to be
vigilant and learns to put away slovenly
habits. Then the up-to-date man will make
money while his careless neighbor will fail.
If there were no enemies to be overcome in
fruit growing, the business might be over
done. In killing weeds we give the soil
stirring that it needs in order to make the
plant food available, but which in many
cases it would net get if the weeds were not
there to fight Overcoming the difficulties
of cold climate makes many people indus
trious and prosperous. The cold turns out
to be their friend. People who live in trop-
ical climates often become indolent because
they are not forced to work. Fighting in

Now is the time of year to spray for San
Jose scale. The sulphur, salt and lime tor
mula has been proven by far the most ef-
hcaious. Prof. Piper, of Pullman, Wash
ngton, has proven conclusively that the
salt may be left out, and the results are
equally good. He has also shown that the
old formulas require more sulphur and lime
than is necessary Send to Pullman and
get bulletin No. So and you can see what
he says about these things.

Once In q Thousand.

Two yellow-back 500 bills were lost
and recovered last week in remark
able manner by the Joseph NJ. Byrne
company of Newark. A German wo-
man applied to John Murray, a clerk
IN the fire insurance department, and,
handing him an envelope, asked him
to transfer her insurance policy. He
removed the policy, crumpled up the
envelope and threw it into waste
basket.
Next morning the woman returned
and accused Murray, of stealing 5000
which was in the envelope with the
policy. Meanwhile the waste basket
had been emptied and all of the pa
pers from the Globe building had been
carried away in bags by an Italian,
whose identity was unknown. The JAM
itor thought that the Italian disposed
of the paper to junk dealer in Acad-
emy street, and upon this meagre in
formation he and Murray went to the
shop and met the Italian upon his ar
rival with wagon load Of papers col
lected from scores of Offices in the city.
The bags were examined until mat
ter from the Globe building was found,
and search Of five minutes brought
the missing envelope to light. The
two centuries were found in it and
were returned to the owner, who made
profuse apologies to Murray for sus-
pectiug him. New York Sun.
