Fig. S.-Pruning young apple trees.
For young trees strong knife
answers very well, and for larger ones
much Of the work can be done with
hand shears. Pruning saws are
needed for large branches, and for
some purposes some of the lever
shears may be used.
To secure the best results II Is i'm.
portant that the cuts should be made
at the right point Fig. / shows the
method OF cutting small branches
back to bud and also the improper
places to cut them. II cut too long
a bad stub will be formed, while IL
cut too close beneath the bud, 1t will
dry out. The proper way is to have
them cut on the side opposite, about
even with its tip, and, with O slant
Of about 30 degrees from cut at right
angles, come out just above the bud.
Even greater care should be taken
in cutting of large branches. Some
times the cut Is made at right angles
to the branch that is cut. This
leaves a bad stub, which will be un.
slightly and the end of which will
heal over very slowly, II at all. AS
rule the interior of the stub decays,
and cavity is formed In the tree.
On the other hand, the cut is often
made parallel with the main trunk or
branch. This is sometimes all right,
but generally there is large shoulder
| at the base of the branch and wound
Of considerable size is produced.
BY cutting at an angle of 10
| degrees or 20 degrees from the
| last.named cut, the wound would
| often be reduced in size fully
one-half and 1t would not project so
| far but that the healing would be
even more rapid than with a parallel
cut. The method of making the three
cuts is shown in Fig. 2. For the ord
mary planter an apple tree should be
two years old, five feet high and three
quarters of an inch to one inch in di-
ameter. When 1t Is planted 1t should be
pruned so that It will have about
four branches as in Fig 3. The
cross-marks in the illustration show
where these branches are to be
headed back; all the others should be
removed, When the tree has a strong
center shoot II is often desirable to
leave this nearly twice as long as the
other branches.
II the trees have large roots that
have ragged ends or that have been
broken in handling, they should be
cut off smoothly. This applies to
trees of all kinds.
When the tres are of an open habit
It Is good plan, says Prairie
Farmer, TO head back the branches
from one-fourth to one-half. This
will strengthen the trunk ana
branches. The same rules can be
followed as the trees develop. All
| dead branches and the watersprouts,
| II not needed TO FIJI up the head,
should be cut out, and II the tree be-
comes too thick the thinning out
process should be resorted to.

A type of the shady roadside is shown
in our illustration. The trees are pines,

1t is said that the immense holdings
of G. w. Hunt at Foster and on the
umatilla meadows, will be cut UP into
small tracts and placed upon the
market this season.
The Hunt farm is one of the largest
in that portion of Umatilla county and
consists of about 5000 acres. all of
which is highly adapted to all the
various fruit, grain and forage crops
which grow in that part of the coun-
ty, under irrigation.
small portion of the land is salt
grass bottom, and the remainder is
sandy loan, which with winter irriga-
ton alone will produce from six to
eight tons of alfalfa per year.
The tendency to cut up the large
farms in that portion of the county,
which is being highly encouraged by
the systems of irrigation now under
way there, is becoming more and
more noticeable and it is thought that
others owning large tracts of wild
land will follow the example Of Mr..
Hunt, in the near future.

INVENTED NEW SICKLE.
Pearl L. Fletcher. of Ridge. Secures
Patent on His Invention.

Pearl Z. Fletcher, of Ridge, in the
southern part of this county, has just
received patent on an improved
grass and grain sickle invented by
him.
X. ]. Warner, of this city, is named
as owner of a half interest in the
invention, which promises to be use
full and practical.
The printed description of the in
vention as given in the patent is as
follows:
This invention relates to improve
ments in sickle mechanism designed
to be used in connection with a har-
vester, reaper or binder. the object
being to provide a sickle mechanism
that will be of comparatively light
draft, thus requiring but little power
to run it and further to employ a
very thin sickle blade that may be
readily sharpened with an emery
wheel without removing the blade
from the machine"
Judge S. A. Lowell prepared the
application for patent and with Miss
Mable Whitman is named as witness
to the application.

DEMOCRATS WILL MEET FEBRUARY 7.

The following address to the demo-
Gratis of Umatila county was issued
| by the county central committee this
afternoon:
To All Democrats in Umatilla County:
This county central committee has
managed the campaign of 1904: has
maintained the party organization and
integrity; has completed the work as
signed to it, and is now ready to re-
port back to the entire democratic
party in the county.
A decent regard for the rights of
all democrats in this county who are
not members of this committee COM
pes us to return our powers to them
at an early date, SO as to enable
them to prepare for the next general
election, formulate and publish a dec
laration of principles, provide for the
needs of the various parts of the coun-
ty, and generally exercise the right
of initiative that properly belongs to
the whole people. To continue our
own control of the party in this
county beyond this time would be a
reasonable usurpation, without
Sh'bo" VI llShN VI warrant OI law,
of rights that belong to the whole
body of democrats in this county.
We believe that the primary cleo
ton law now in effect is a wise meas
ure and should be given a full and
fair trial, and in order that 1t may
be given such trial the powers now
held end exercised by the central
committee should be returned to the
people before the primary election,
and not be retained by the central
committee until after they have con-
trolled the primaries and indirectly,
though none the less surely, made the
nominations.
For these and other reasons, we
find 1t necessary to call together an
assembly Of democrats, such as that
which gave us power. We believe
that such an assembly should be as i

By the first of June. If a contract
made yesterday afternoon is complet-
ed by that time, the Walters FIGURING
mill will be equipped with an entire
new set of machinery, which will in
crease the capacity of the mill five
times over and make it one of the best
mills in the northwest Between s1s.-
600 and $4,000 will be spent in max
ing the improvement, and the force NJ
employees will be trebled.
In speaking to the East Oregonian
this morning Mr.. Walters said that he
mas been compelled to increase the
capacity of his mill in order m f,,J
the orders that are coming in. At
present the capacity of the mill is but
100 barrels per day, and when the
new machinery is installed the mil,
VIII have a capacity of 500 barrels
daily. =
The power from the present mill
race will be sufficient to operate the
mill at its full capacity during nine
months of the year. But during the
'ii &C IoN water months II VIII be nec-
essary to run at a reduced capacity.
Along with the new milling machinery
to be installed, new turbines will also
be placed.
At present Mr.. Walters does NOT
plan any changes in his present build
ings, and the new machinery will he
placed in the present structure.
According to Mr.. Walters most of
his flour goes to the Portland market
and to Idaho. Within the past few
years the demand from both those
places has greatly increased. or the
flour sent to Portland. much of it is
subsequently shipped to the orient.
When the new machinery is INSTALL
ed in the Walters mill the capacity
will be such that nearly a million
bushels of wheat will be made into
flour annually.
The contract for the new machin-
cry was let to the DeWolf company
of Pennsylvania, the deal being made
by j. $. Allender, representative of
the company who has been here for
several days.
