There is great difference of opinion

for the man who will not prune lntelli-
gently every year. 1t is better to
prune the limbs TO short spurs with
two or three buds than to cut them
close up to the trunk. There are two
reasons for this: First. when the
limbs are cut to spurs there is no dry

The Old Orchard.

Our fathers considered orchards an
