TOP GRATING.
The Shaping Of an Old Tree the Most
important Factor.

The Shaping Of an Old Tree the Most
Important Factor.
Every man who owns an orchard OF
any extent should be able to do his own
grating. The most important factor
In the top grating OF an old tree is the
shaping Of the top. The old top Is to
be removed during three or four or five
years, and new one is to be grown In
its place. The original plan or shape
OF the top will have to be followed in
the general outline. Bailey In his prun-
ing book gives the following advice:
Branches should be grated, as rule.
where they do not exceed an inch and
half In diameter, as scions do better
In such branches than In very large
stubs. The operator should endeavor to
cut all the leading stubs at approx.

mately equal distances from the center
of the tree. The cut Is a good illustra-
ton Of an old apple tree top grated.
Top grating is performed In spring.
The best time Is when the leaves are
pushing out, as wounds made then heal
quickly. and scions are most apt to live.
but when large amount of grating
must be done it Is necessary to begin
a month or two earlier. On the other
hand, the operation can be extended
until month or more after the leaves
are full grown, but such late scions
make short growth, which is likely to
perish the following winter.

No other pugilist in the ring has
fought so many really hard battles as
Cans. He is without doubt the clever
est man in the ring today, bar none, In
any class. He has the peculiar faculty
Of being able to pick out the vulnera-
BILE point Of an opponent and goes at 1t
as unhesitatingly as surgeon with q
knife.
Withal he is most merciful, and even
with his great cleverness he takes no
pleasure In cutting his adversary to
ribbons. He IL one OF the many prize
fighters who do not save money.
He is very liberal and an inveterate
gambler. He backs himself In those
fights that he tries to win and dallies
with every known game Of chance.
Cans is what many persons term a
born pugilist, and had he remained
strictly square in his ring endeavors
he would without doubt be one Of the
most popular fighters In the ring today
despite his color.

Italian children, two girls and boy,

three pairs of shoes, The children
