PRUNING FOR FRUIT
BY Prof L. =. Sandsten.

AS a rule, heavy wood growth is
not conducive to fruitfulness, while
slow wood growth encourages fruit
production. Light summer pruning Is
employed to check the wood growth
and induce the formation Of fruit
buds. In order that summer pruning
may be effective, it should be done
from the 18th of June to the 18th OF
July in our climate wisconsin,. The
young shoots will have grown to the
length of eight to ~ inches and should
be pinched back two to four inches.
Now and then a leading shoot should
be left TO grow.
The buds below the pinched portion
will, as a rule, begin TO swell and
develop into fruit buds. Should the
secondary lea! buds start after pinch
ing back, the operation should be re-
peated. No heavy pruning OF apples,
pears, cherries and plum trees should
be done during the summer. The re-
ault will generally prove seriovs. since

The Three Systems Of Planting.

orchard Is young. By converting per
manent squares into temporary quin-
cunxes mote the accompanying plan),
we secure an ideal plan for double
planting. Thus, by planting our filler
at the intersection OF the dlagonals
of 4O-foot square, we get five trees
in the square with the central tree
standing about 2S feet from the per-
manent ones. This is an almost ideal
distance for apple trees for the first
ten or Is years of their bearing stage.
This system Of planting is not con-
fined to the apple, however. but may
be employed with other fruits as well.
The practice of mixing different kinds
of fruit trees in the same block is
never advisable; the filler should al
ways be of the same kind Of fruit as
the permanent trees; 1t is usually a
different and quicker bearing variety.
In septuple planting, the trees form
equilateral triangles. The chief claim
made for this method is that the trees
are more evenly distributed than by
any other-every tree being equl-dis-
tant from the adjacent members of its

"Mlnd Your P's and as"

There are two accounts of the origin
of the expression Mind your P's and
Q's." According to one, 1t arose from
the early method used in public houses
of charging customers for the amount
of beer they had consumed on credit.
p stood for pint, Q for quart, and as
the scores were settled weekly, it was
necessary for the topper to watch his
P's and Q's.
According TO the other story, the
phrase owes its origin to the difficulty
the printers devil has experienced
from time immemorial in distinguish
ing between the lower case P's and Q's
of the Roman type. The similarity
between the two letters is so great,
particularly when they are reversed
as in the process of distributing, that
the printers apprentice is always
warned by the foreman to mind his
P's and Qs."-The Sunday Magazine.
