trees will bear as many boxes Of fruit
in two successive years as the unthinned
trees, 95 per cent. of which will grade
Fancy" AZ compared with 50 per
cent. Fancy" from the unthinned
trees.
The judicious use Of the pruning tools
in early spring saves much hand thin
ming. The grower will have to rely
great deal on his own judgment AS to
just how far pruning will take the place
of June thinning. The peach tree may
be pruned much more severely than
other fruits on account of its habit of
bearing fruit. The removal of wood as
q means of thinning in the peach should
not in any way injure the next years
crop. The heavy pruning would rather
stimulate the growth of strong fruiting
wood. Even in June thinning the prun-
ing shears are necessary article in the
thinner's outfit. Many branches may
be clipped off or shortened to save the
labor of hand thinning. Pruning As a
means of thinning apples and pears
must be exercised with more care.
Two general plans may be followed
in June thinning. One is to thin to
certain distance, the other to leave a
certain total amount on the tree.
Where the first plan is followed, the
general rule is to leave fruit every
six or eight inches in the peaches or
apricots, and not less than eight in ap-
pies and pears. 1t is fairly satisfac-
tory method for the experienced pruner,
but unreliable for the grower, who,
from lack of courage. fails to prune
properly. Probably u better plan for
such grower is to thin not 30 much TO
distance as to leave certain amount
on the tree. BY thinning and actually
counting the remaining fruits on few
trees, the eye can soon be trained to
Judge what q well .thinned tree looks
like. Then, Of course, the question
comes up as to how much's tree should
bear. This will depend much on the
vigor of the plant, soil conditions, and
water supply, as well as the variety.
The four year old peach tree that has
been well grown. should, under favor
able conditions, mature from three TO
four boxes Of fruit, rs per cent. Of
which should grade Extra" After the
fourth year, the yield Of the peach or
chard. we'll pruned and cared for. should

increase approximately two boxes per
tree per year. Unless specially well
cared for. the average peach orchard
will little more than hold its own after
the tenth year. BY allowing rs to 80
peaches to the box. the thinner can
easily estimate how much to leave.
This system was found 10 work well in
thinning apples last year. The yield
per tree will vary somewhat with the
variety, but an eleven year old Ben
Davis, Gano, or Jonathan tree should
mature from eight to ten boxes Of fruit,
30 per cent. Fancy" One hundred
and fifty apples from two and one half
to three inches in diameter will pack
box. As a rule, apples and pears should
be thinned to one fruit on spur, and
all those from near the tips of limbs
removed, as they seldom reach good
size.
The time for thinning proper is dur
ing the month Of June, for peaches,
while the apple thinning may run into
the early part Of July. IL time will not
permit Of its being done earlier. BY
waiting until this time we save the Ia
Dor of removing fruit that normally
falls Of its own accord, while later
thinning would fail to give az good re-
suits as June thinning.

THINNING FRUIT.

To many of our growers. an article
on thinning fruit may seem uncalled
for. A favored few, however, might
profit by reading and putting into prac-
tice some ideas on the subject. The
fruit growers must remember that they
cannot afford to let short crop, and
prospects for large returns, induce them
to lower the standard of quality of Col
orado fruit, to the injury of the hard
earned reputation established by our
associations.
The prime object of thinning is to
improve the size of the fruit. Other
benefits Of secondary Importance are:
More regular bearing, longer life Of the
tree, and no doubt larger total produc-
ton in the long run. In the peach,
where the fruit is born on one year old
wood, strong, new growth IL neces-
sary for the production of flower buds
for the succeeding years crop. In the
apple, pear, and some varieties Of plum,
the fruit is born on fruit spurs. and
strong but not over-vigorous growth
and plenty Of reserve food are neces-
gary for the development Of fruit buds.
1t is the exception rather than the rule
for fruit spurs to bear every year, 80
we must really have two sets Of fruit
spurs If we expect 10 have the tree
bear regularly. One can then see that
the wanton destruction Of fruit spurs
as a means Of ofNthinning is mistake.
Experiments undertaken in Mesa coun-
ty by the Experiment Station Of the
Colorado Agricultural College. last year
show that, on most varieties Of apples,
ut least, thinning does induce annual

pouches were used to carry out the dirt and
stones removed. but curiousy enough, they
use them for exactly the reverse and for
carrying seeds or food.
AS soon as a gopher makes up its mind
that its mining operations have been observed,
It invariably ,crawls out, or partly out, of
the mine, or burrow, and filling its pouches
with sticks and sand, backs quickly in, its
tail seemingly guiding it to the hole with
untaillng regularity, the animal never turning
but always backing, and moving so rapidly
that it seems almost like the curious lizard
that runs one way as well as another
The soil and material carried In in this
way is deposited at the entrance of the mine,
and if the animal thinks that danger is i'm
burrow. Having done this for few moments,
it disappears, and second later the opening
closes, and close examination shows quiver-
ing of the earth, and repeated pushing up
as if some one was patting it from below.
| In short, the mine has been filed up from
below, and so skillfully that few would notice
! it.
But where is the miner? Not off in some
deep lead hundreds of feet away, but near
at hand, in tunnel quite at the surface
| that has a port-hole about as large as a pea.
| Through this "peephoe" the willy miner
takes observations. and the tunnel will not be
reopened for weeks if it is watched.
The gopher comes out generally at night
to feed, and carries seeds in its pouches; but
the mine is never taken in this way, being
pushed up by the animals breast and fore
feet They are the pests of the southwest
portions of the continent and the valleys of
Southern California are tunneled by maze of
their mines.
Some of the most remarkable miners are
found among the marine animals, especially

wounded him with an arrow; how he had
kept out of the animals way until he had
shot him again and again, at last finishing
the contest with victory on his banners. The
lion, of COURSE was not full grown, but he
was fierce enough to render an old hunter
cautious.
The home of the Gaucho boy or girl is
built OF mud and covered with long yellow
grass, of which the pampas furnish an abun-
dance. Not far off is the stock-pcn, or "cor-
raj, as it is called, and it is here that the
boy learns to use the lasso.
While he is thus employed, his sisters and
their acquaintances are building play-houses
out of such materials as the country gives
them. They cut down the long stems Of
the pampas thistle and form play-yards
and houses of them, decorating the same
beautifully with flowers, and setting in the
corners dolls made of grass and thistle balls.

the silver case, and refusing to be torn away
even parting with their heads, that remained
for a long time clinging to the glass.
The entire operation reminded me of the
difficulties that beset the miners in some parts
of New Mexico today, the miners having to
be watched and guarded by regular. corps
of soldiers, whose only duty is to do the
fighting.
In Southern California number of interest
ing miners are found, and one very attrac-
tive fellow is long tailed gray squared, that
constructs the most astonishing tunnels. The
most skillful worker, however, is a gopher,
known to science as the Geomys Mexicanus.
Ten or twelve-years ago they reigned si-
preme in the now fertile valley of San Gabriel,
that lies east of the famous city OF Los
Angeles.
From my window, as | write. numbers of
the mounds Of these miners can be seen, but
they are so remarkably sly and cunning that,
though | have watched for hours, l have only
seen one six inches away from his hole; but
as this short excursion was repeated an in
definite number Of times, l may he said to
be on terms of intimacy with one of the
most timid of all miners.
In appearance the gopher, or .pouched rat,
as it is sometimes called, resembles a short
tailed and shortlegged rat with large head
and protruding teeth. Their cheeks attract
attention, having the. appearance of being
pushed out, or stuffed with something; but
this is owing to the fact that our miner has
side separate and distinct from the mouth ;
little carpetbags, we might call them, each
lined with fur, and large enough to enable
me to thrust in my thumb to the first joint.
Pouches they are sometimes often called,
and as to their USE there seems to be
diversity of opinion.
The front claws of this miner are extremely

tiful flowers form a rich carpet that yields to
the young Gaucho's feet.
From morning till night he is not for mo-
ment at rest. lie has no schoolhours to
occupy his time. BY the time he is four
years old he is on horseback, and, with a
little lasso, is chasing everything that comes
in his way. Even before this time he has
caught birds with loops of twipe, or the
family dogs as they walk in and out the hut.
AS he grows in years, the Gaucho boy pur-
sues the ostrich and even faces the pampas
hon, for there is no fear in the little fellow.
One night, in our camp, some days journey
from the Rio de Ia Plata, we heard that a
Gaucho boy had boldly ridden down and
killed young lion.
"He is no higher than that" said the man
who brought us the word, at the same time
measuring the boys height with his hand.
Curious to see the young hunter, we went
to the Gaucho village, which was near, and
a child of ten was pointed as the lion
slayer.
L was astonished. There he stood beside
the skin of the dead animal, with victory in
his black eyes, and conscious that he was
the hero of the hour.
We were then told how he had crawlcd

large and powerful, and enable it to construct
tunnels with remarkable rapidity.
When once beneath the surface they con-
struct their mines in every direction, with no
of forming labyrinth that will carry off
floods.
That this is successful l have frequently
demonstrated by turning large stream Of
water into the mine. 1t would run in with
out overhowing for a long time, and | have
never succeeded in forcing one out by this
means
1t would naturally be supposed that such
miners would place their nest at some distant
or deep lead in the mine, but the reverse
is the rule; the warm nest of bits of weed
being formed very near the surface from
which different mines lead away, taking any
water that might come in.
1t might be assumed that the bags or
