PRUNING FRUIT TREES.
Dvesy Variety Presents ~ Peeallas
PROBLEMS which 0a0t Do 6GaA.
led b. the Grower.

Every kind Of tree or plant, in fact,
every individual, presents its own Pc
culiar problems to the primer. Hence
no arbitrary rules can be given. To
do the work most judiciously the OPP
orator must understand the prin.
ciples involved, then apply them to
each case. Skill in pruning can come
only with experience and practice.
Perhaps the most important thing
is to observe the manner in which
the fruit IL borne. For instance, IN
apple or pear tree bears its fruit
mostly on '@fruit spurs" and SO would
not be pruned in the same way 40 q
peach tree, which bears it's fruit only
on last seasons growth. A ounce
tree, which produces its fruit on the
tips of the growth made the present
season, would naturally be prunetl
differently from either an apple or
peach tree. Likewise, the correct
pruning Of grapes is based on the
fact that the shoots of the present
season produce this years crop. The
same principle in pruning holds true
throughout the whole list of fruits
that is, the manner in which the
fruit is borne should govern the man
ner of pruning.
In general way, it may be said
in regard to tree fruits that all dead
branches should be removed and the
tops of the trees be kept sufficiently
open to admit IN abundance of sun
light for the coloring Of the fruit.
Reasonably open tops are also OF
great advantage in spraying the
trees and in harvesting the fruit.
The natural habit Of the tree should
suggest the form to be adopted by
the primer. In other words, tree
the branches Of which naturally
droop cannot well be pruned to an
upright form, and q tree with q
strong tendency toward forming an
upright head cannot readily be made
to assume a decidedly spreading
form. OF course these natural tend
encies can be Influenced in measure
by the manner of pruning, but they
cannot be entirely overcome. The
tops should be kept symmetrical and
as well balanced as possible.
The pruning of the various kinds Of
small fruits is based on the same
general principles as the pruning o.
fruit trees-that is, the manner IL
which the fruit is borne and tn,
character Of the growth should gov
ern the method of pruning.-Farm
ers' Bulletin, No. 161.

How to Keep cider sweet.


"A correspondent of Farm and Fire
side says: "There is practically no
way of keeping cider from fermenting
unless something is done to sterilize
It. This sterilizing may be done by
raising the cider to a temperature
of $50 degrees three times, allowing
it to cool between, and finally
bottling when hot. This is certainly
the best way of treating it if you do
not wish to use a drug. In my own
experience prefer to keep it sweet
by adding about one-half pound Of
carbonate of soda to a barrel, not
making it until late in the autumn,
when cold weather is assured, and
then keeping it cold during the win
ter. If it is in room the temper
ature of which is just below freez-
ing point it will not freeze, but will
be cold enough to prevent any very
active fermentation"

Apple. ana Soil Exhaustion

Apple trees are not as hard on soils
rs many have supposed, if we will
keep the soil in proper physical con-
dition. A bulletin issued by Cornell
university shows that in single year
q crop of apples will remove for the
fruit from a single acre, 10 pounds
Of nitrogen, one pound of phosphoric
acid and 10 pounds of potash. The
leaves on the trees which produce
this crop of fruit will require 10
pounds of nitrogen, SO pounds of
phosphoric acid and 1874 pounds of
potash. The tree growth will require
"a pounds of nitrogen, SO pounds of
phosphoric acid and s.s pounds of
potash. This looks to be severe
strain on the soil, yet believe that,
all things considered, apples are
about half as hard on soil as corn,
assuming that all of each crop is
permanently removed from the soil.

sterili.ine Garden Soil.

The practice of sterilizing the soil
for greenhouse or cold-frame work
is coming more and more in vogue
with large market gardeners. Ex-
posure to steam heat, which raises
the temperature to above $50 or 100,
or even $50, degrees will kill the
germs of damping-off, blights, rots,
etc. w. w. Rawson says he can now
grow better crops on sterilized soil
under glass than outdoors. A writer
in Farm and Fireside says: I'VE who
have not the facilities for sterilizing
the soil in this manner must content
ourselves with changing the soil on
the greenhouse benches every year,
getting new supply where we be-
lieye it to be uninfected from such
disease germs"
