TIMELY FRUIT NOTES.

Glass grown strawberries must
have sun.
Late tender growth in peach trees
should be cut away, says a New
Hampshire grower.
The box is not for culls, but for the
best fruit that can grow on a tree,
remarks an exchange.
According to California authorities,
the raisin crop of the state for 1902 is
100, 100000 pounds and the largest but
one ever grown in the state.
DR.. Saunders, of Canada, has some
crosses of Siberian crab on Tetofsky,
Mcmahon White and other hardy ap-
pies about which he is very sanguine.
Some northern strawberry growers
who are able to secure a good price
for their fruit in the season use an
extra thick winter mulch to delay the
spring fruiting as long as possible.

MICE IN THE ORCHARD.
UnleAs the "Omen of Prevention" IL
Resorted To They May Do
Comfortable Damage.

Young orchard trees are almost rs
likely to be injured by mice in some
parts of the country as by rabbits IN
other places. Sometimes when the
snow goes off in the spring, it is
found that many trees have had
their bark more or less gnawed of by
mice. The injury extends from three
to six inches above the ground and
may entirely encircle the trunk. If
the trees are small and have been
completely girdled; there is little
hope of saving them, especially if .
wide strip of bark has been entirely
removed. With larger trees or small
er injuries, much can be done to re-
pair the damage, if the injured wood
is not allowed to become dry. The
wound should be Immediately cov-
cred with grating wax or thick
coat of paint and covered by mound
of earth heaped up around it. If the
wound is not too large, it will in time
be covered by a new growth of bark.
High manuring and requent cultiva-
ton will hasten this process of re-
pairing the injury.
In this case, as in all others, can
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure" An orchard should never
be planted in sod, as the surrounding
grass and weeds greatly increase the
danger from mice. If mice are
known to be in the orchard, the
trunks may be covered for distance
of 20 inches from the ground with
wire mosquito netting, or with thin
wooden veneers, thus affording pro-
lection against rabbits and other
pests also. If this has not been done.
the danger may be greatly. lessened
by tramping the snow down hard
around the trees after each Storm

When nuyinE Orchard Trees.

An Illinois orchardist says: When
you wish to start an orchard, 60 to
the nearest nurseryman you have con-
fidence in, who grows the trees him
self, not one who purchases from 9TH
ers: the latter do not call nursery
man, he is a tree merchant. Do not go
to nurseryman who advertises a
great many high-priced novelties or
wonders. On general principles it is
safe to let him alone. Almost every
person who has written an article on
fruit growing has warned you against
the tree peddler. Still, this warning
is so little needed it seems necessary
ia sound the alarm all the time. Do
not buy Of any agent unless you know
him to be all right and the agent Of
some reliable nursery. Nine times out
of ten money paid to these unknown
agents is worse than thrown away.

Raw Apples Promote Health.

Ripe, uncooked apples are among
the most valuable of our fruits. It
has been said that any man who can
and will eat two good-sized apples in
the course of every "a hours, will
never have govt, and if this destroyer
of comfort has already fastened it's
fangs in his system, apples will van
qu;sh even the most persistent form of
this tegscy, of luxuriou. living. Raw
apples are m'icl. TO be preferred for
health reasons to those that are
cooked. Heat makes chemica; changes
and destroys or devitalizcs an acid
that .eems to act directly on the lime,
salts and earthly matter created in the
system by gou:y an: rheumatic condi-
t;ons.-Fa-mers' Review.

RULES FOR PRUNING.
Ten Valuable Suggestions 0Rersa ~
sM H. L. MeAslck, = Well-KnowA
N llllnois Expert. - a&..

- 1. The knife or saw should never be
used on fruit or ornamental tree ,u
less there are positively good reasons
for so doing.
z. Train oil trees while young with
q central leader or main shoot and
never allow the two main branches to
grow in such . way as to have the
weight of the trees come upon .
fork of the main trunk.
Vt 3. When branches cross, 30 as to be
injured by rubbing together, the
weaker of the two should be cut out.
4. When one branch rests on anoth-
er under it, the weaker of the two
should be cut out.
=. s. Suckers or water sprouts should
be thinned out before they have made
much growth; but if the main
branches are bare, or if the head is
open in places, suckers should be al.
lowed to grow where they will cover
this condition. If parts of the tree
are weak in growth, this weak wood
may be cut out and some of tbs
suckers allowed to grow in it's place.
The cause of these sprouts is that tho
sap becomes impeded by the bending
down of the bran ches, with weight OF
fruit, by the hot sun striking the
branches, or perhaps by some injury
to the bark in pruning or gathering
the fruit, and nature makes this ef.
fort to repair the injury. The re-
moval of all these suckers will soon
result in the death of the tree, while
allowing some of them to grow
where needed will renew the vigor OF
the tree.
J 6. If large branches are to be re-
moved, make the cut in the middle Of
the enlarged part where it joins tho
main branch or trunk, and not quite
in line with the face of the main
branch or trunk.
z. Paint all wounds about one-half
inch in diameter with linseed oil
paint, gas tar or grating wax.
8. Never cut away the main
branches of tree if it can be avoid.
ed, but thin out the head, when it be.
NOAtCS SAO"ACup 14OA CAO OutoAuSs
This can be quickly done with the
pruning hook on long pole, and lit
tie 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.
: 9. Cut off dead branches as soon
as discovered and cover the wound
with paint to prevent further decay.
10. In training young trees, start
the branches low; the trees will
grow better, the thinning and gath
ering the fruit will be more easily
done, and the cultivation can be as
we'll and cheaply done with the mod
ern Acme or spring-tooth harrow
and weeder as if the head we're high
err, while the trunk of the tree and
ground under it will be so protected
that growth will be better than il
more exposed.-Midland Farmer.
