Dor who owned tree No. 2. and who

Oftentimes old apple trees may be
given new lease of life and be made
to yield good profit by severely head
ing them back, forcing the growth Of
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
der to grow good head. 1t is worth
while to pay little attention to gov
erning the growth Of young trees. 1t
should be remembered in applying
the pruning knife that work of this
kind in the summer has tendency
to check growth, while in the winter
the tendency is to increase growth.
1t is better to do little pruning each
year, rather than to cut away a large
portion Of the tree in one season.
According to suggestion by the
Farmers Voice, the best plan is to ac-
quire mental picture of how the tree
ought to look when in proper condi.

Modern Glass-CoveredH House
for Winter Gardens

The long, narrow glass; houses used
by so many market gardeners are OBJ
soete. 1t is just as we'll to throw all
the inclosed space under one 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 one 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 trench one foot deep till they
reached ground level. On top Of these
was built 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 15
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 height Of Ave 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 one-sixteenth inch, i'm
bedded in putty and fastened by nall
ing 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,

been pruned altogether too high.
That is to say, the lower limbs have
been trimmed off, but the owner has

ambition to rival the elm along the
roadside in height. AS a result, he
has exposed the trunk of the tree to
the scorching rays of the sun and
has made 1t practically impossible to
secure the fruit except by knocking
1t off with pole.
Tree No. 2 has been pruned as a
tree ought to be pruned. 1t has been
headed in from the top, giving it a
symmetrical appearance letting in suf-
f1clent sunshine to ripen all of the
apples evenly, but at the same time
shading the trunk from the too search
ing rays of the sun. The apples which
grow on this tree can be picked with
out difficulty and without bruising
them.
1t is an interesting fact that these
two trees stood on opposite sides of
line fence. AS may be imagined,
the contrast could hardly have been

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 lower
part of the tree instead OF opening
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. l shows tree which has

ton and work gradually toward that
end. Make special effort, however,
to cut away each season all dead
branches and also the weaker branch
when two rub against each other.
Suckers may be removed by sharp
blow with the side of the hand, but
an occasional sucker on the principal
branches should be allowed to grow
in order to make new bearing limbs.

Judge John J. Jenkins, chairman of

ess delivered a carefully prepared
speech on thecourt review feature of

His contention was for what is known,
as limited review and that the COM
missions rates should prevail, until ~
final adjudication by the courts. He
said that the csontitution protected the
carrier, and to provide that the com
mission should fix reasonable rate,
and then have the reasonableness of
the rate passed upon by the courts
would nullify legislation. Judge Jen-
kins further declared that the people
were not to be trifled with; that ithey
were thoroughly a.oused, and that any

his duty to them would be politically
buried, never to rise again. He denie
