Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

: Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that pneumo
MIA always results from a cold or
from an attack of the grip, and by
the proper treatment of these diseas-
es a threatened attack of pneumonia
may be warded off, There is no ques-
ton whatever about this. as during
the thirty years and more that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has been
used, we have vet to- learn of single
case of a cold or attack of the grip
having resulted in pneumonia when
this remedy was used. 1t is also used
by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. DR..
w. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala, who is
also a druggist, says of it: 81 have

The PRUNING
OF TREES
A SUBJECT ON WHICH MOST
PEOPLE KNOW BUT
LITTLE.
HORTICULTURAL SOClT'Y
Discusses the Subject at It's Last
Meeting Article on the
Gubject.
HORTICULTURAL SOClTY

At the last meeting of the Wayne
County Agricultural and Horticul-
tural society the question of pruning
trees was discussed by several per-
sons present, and there was consider
able difference of opinion on the sub
ject. Caleb King said he made it a
point to keep his orchard well pruned
and thought it was the proper thing
to do until he visited the orchard of
Elm Osborn, near Economy. He OBJ
served that Mr.. Osborn paid little at
tention to pruning, and, as a conse-
quence, his orchard was far superior
in results to Mr. Kings. Now he
was practically cup tree' and did
not know which plan was the best to
follow.
The following article from the last
number of Arboriculture on the sub
ject Of pruning is timely and very in
structive:
"While the tress are pushing up
most rapidly, the side branches are
most quickly overshaded, and the pro-
cess of natural pruning goes on with
the greatest vigor. Natural pruning
is the reason why old trees in a dense
forest have only a small crown high
in the air, and why their tall trunks
are clear of branches to such a height
from the ground. The trunks Of trees
grown in the open, where even the
lower limbs have abundance Of light
are branched either quite to the
ground or to within a short distance
of it. But IN the forest not only are
the lower side branches continually
dying for want of light, but the tree
rids itself of them after they are
dead and so frees its trunk from them
entirely. When a branch dies, the
annual layer of new wood is no longer
deposited upon it. Consequently the
dead branch, where it is inserted in
the tree, makes a little hole in the
first coat of living tissue formed over
the live wood after its death The
edges of this hole make sort of col
lar about the base Of the dead branch,
and as new layer is added each year
they press it more and more tightly.
SO strong does this compression of the
living wood become that at last what
remains Of the dead tissue has so lit
tie strength that the branch is broken
off by a storm or even falls of its own
weight Then in a short time, if all
goes well, the hole closes, and after
awhile little or no exterior trace of It
remains. Knots such as those which
are found in boards, are the marks
left in the trunk by branches which
have disappeared.-Gifford Pinchot.
"Mr Pinchot, in the above beauti-
ful description, explains the process
Of pruning followed by nature. Al
though he neglects to inform the pub
lie, whom he wishes to instruct, how
long time must elapse before this

operation can be completed, or what
an expensive operation this becomes
through nature s methods.
FWhen owners of timber land
leave entirely to nature the work Of
pruning, they must of necessity,
await Dame Nature s pleasure. as to
when she will perform the operation.
Meantime interest and taxes accumu-
late and multiply, old age advances
more rapidly than the trees can in
crease in size. and the investment be-
comes of great duration, for trees can
not make rapid progress while in the
crowded condition in which they exist
as nature usually scatters her seed.
"The procedure is beautiful, but it
does not increase the bank account of
the waiting investor.
'HThere is happy medium for the
best growth of forest trees, between
the densely crowded young forest, the
roots struggling for years for the
mastery, and the single tree growing
in an open field with branches grow
ing to the ground.
cit is this medium in distance be-
tween trees of the forest, which must
solve the question of profit in timber
lands.
A moderate expense incurred in
properly thinning a young forest and
in pruning away the lower side
branches, so as to make clear lumber,
is money well expended, for it enables
the remaining trees to obtain the
necessary moisture and food which
will keep them growing as rapidly
as their nature will perc'it.
"While without this thinning b.
the hand of man. the trees are SUP.
pressed in CROWN while years, nay
centuries, must elapse before by'T!
survival of the fittest,' the weaker
can be destroyed so as to enable the
stronger to begin growth.
"Besides, there are certain trees
which do not shed their branches
after they have been killed by shade.
Gin these, the new wood growth,
each year encloses the dead branch,
and in time, disease germs enter the
tree through this channel Of decay
ing member, being conveyed by water
and the atmosphere. when the tree
becomes a hollow. worthless trunk.
And further, many species Of trees
form an upright stem without over
crowding.
fThe old theory of crowding young
forests will never succeed under
American impotence for results.
