An arrangement which serves the

sists of two fat stakes driven into the
ground on the sunny side of the tree

How Poor Grade Of Fruit Trees Can
Be Greatly Improved.

Upon the style Of pruning in the
nursery row depends largely the fu-
ture shape Of the tree. The present
tendency is to head apples low and
TO open up the center of the trees as
much as possible. Low heading
brings the fruit nearer the ground,
making it much more convenient to
spray and harvest, while the open cen
ter admits sunlight, which gives
color to the fruit and assists in CON
trolling diseases. To prune for this
shape. start the head about two feet
from the ground, allowing four or FIVE
branches to grow, and prune so as to
throw them away from the center
rather than toward it, by cutting out
most Of the shoots which lead toward
the center. The main feature of
nursery pruning is to select the right

Quarter Acre Berry Bed.

One-quarter acre of good land, set
with proper varieties and well culti-
waited, should produce from 20 to 40
bushels of nice berries every season,
says M. A. Thayer. This would give
an ordinary family fresh berries every
day in season, and a liberal supply,
canned, preserved or dried, during the
entire year.

ONE OF the problems OF child life in
