should be ,hinned out before they

should be lhinned out before they
have made much growth; if the main
branches are bare, or if the head is
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 it's place.
The cause of these sprouts is that
the sap becomes impeded by the
bending down of tbs 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.
CO., 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.
ca Paint all wounds above one
half inch in diameter with inseed oil
paint, gas tar or grating wax.
(s) Never cut away the main
branches of tree if it can be avoid
ed, but thin out the head, when it
becomes crowded, from the outside.
This can be quickly done with prun-
ing hook on a long pole, and little
or no injury will result; while If the
large branches are cut from the trunk
the tree is weakened and soon dies,
or is broken down.
(a.) Cut off dead branches as soon
as discovered and cover the wound
with paint to prevent further decay.
(o.) 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, ,vhile the
trunk of the tree and ground under
it will be SO protected that growth
will be better than if more exposed.

Filth and Disease Germs.

Disease of man or animals does
not originate in filth, but elsewhere,
but germs may enter into the filth
and breed there, and sally forth to
attack either man or beast. If there
are no germs there, hogs for instance,
may revel in filth and no infectious
disease will be manifested. Filth can
not originate germs, any more than
they can be made in carpenters
shop. But when once infested the
hogs will also infect the filth to
which they have access, and in turn
the filth will furnish germs freely to
any hog that may come along.-Farm

RULES FOR PRUNING.
A Few Sensible Rules for Checking
the Superintendent Growth OF
Fruit or Shade Trees.

az The knife or saw should
never be used on fruit or ornament
al tree unless there are positively
good reasons for so doing.
e. Train all trees while young
with a central leader or main shoot,
and never allow two main branches
to grow in such way as to have the
weight of the tree come upon fork
of the, main trunk.
(3.) When branches cross, so as to
be injured by rubbing together, the
weaker of the two should be cut out.
a. When one branch rests on an
other under it, the weaker of the two
should be cut out.
(5.) Suckers or water sprouts

There are great forests of leafess
trees in Australia. They are acacias,

and their being leafless is simply an
