a certain dignity and repose which
were very curiously contradicted now

the lower limbs and shoots. This fact
only holds good when the trunks are
sound. Young trees should be
watched all summer to prevent the
growth Of branches not needed in or

while to pay a little attention to gov.
erning the growth Of young trees. II
should be remembered in applying
the pruning knife that work of this
kind in the summer has a tendency
to check growth, while in the winter
the tendency Is to increase growth.
1t is better to do a little pruning each
year, rather than to cut away a large
portion of the tree in one season.
According to a suggestion by the
Farmers Voice, the best plan is to &C.

ought to look when in proper condi.

Modern Class-C Covered House
for Winter Gardens

The long, narrow glass; houses used
by so many market gardeners are OBJ
solete. 1t is just as well to throw all
the inclosed space under n roof, so
far as success is concerned, and even
better on the score Of convenience.
An Oregon man who tore down his
old glass buildings and erected in
their place M large, new building,
60 feet wide and $50 feet long, tells
how he did it.
The foundation walls were Of rough
stones picked up from the fields and
put in a trench one foot deep till they
reached ground level On top of these
was built a concrete wall four inches
high and six inches wide. The house
was built with one-ffth pitch gable
roof, having sash bars 80 feet long on
each side. This brought the ridge Is
feet above the beds; and the side
walls of glass were three feet from the
wall to the top of the plate. The south
end Of the building was covered with
glass to a height of five feet, and the
north end to a height of two feet;
the rest OF the gables was closed up
with lumber.
Four purlins, two on each side, were
run the whole length of the house.
Each of these was supported by II
posts, and the posts were tied and
braced sidewise, and two braces near
the south end used to brace the house
lengthwise. The sash bars were one
and three-quarters by two and three
quarters inches, with upper corners
rabbeted and the glass was IA by IA
inches, Tapped o~ne-sixteenth inch, i'm
bedded in putty and fastened by nail
ing a strip three-eighths by three
eighths by ten inches long above each
end. Eight courses Of glass were laid
and then a board eight inches wide,

He took up the card and read the

Right and Wrong Way
to Prune a Fruit Tree

One important lesson which many
otherwise excellent farmers have neg.
lected to learn relates to the proper
pruning of fruit trees. Perhaps the
chief fault is cutting away the LOVER
part Of the tree instead of ope1ing
up the top and forcing the growth in
the limbs nearer the ground. The two
accompanying photographs illustrate
the wrong and the right way to- prune
an apple tree according to modern
ideas. No. 1 shows a tree WHICH has
