PRUNING FRUIT TREES.
The Work Should Be Done Every Year
Winter Pruning Injurious.

Fruit trees should be pruned once
year. The following suggestions
will be of aid in this work: Winter
pruning in this or more severe eli
mates is often injurious to fruit trees.
The bulk of pruning should be done
early in the fall as soon as growth
natures or at the end of the winter
before growth begins. All forks should
be removed, or all except one be cut
back severely, in order to throw the
most vigorous growth in the other
part. All dead twigs should be re-
moved, also those that have become
weakened and are likely to die within
a year Or two, branches growing
toward the center of the tree from out
side limbs should be cut away and
those growing near enough together to
rub each other. All cuts should be
made smooth enough so as to have the
wound as small as possible, and also
give a chance for healing over in the
shortest time. Stubs from one-fourth
to several inches in length should
never be allowed as they soon die, in
juring the heart of the tree. By Civ
ing annual pruning, says Farmers Re-
view, and removing the limbs that are
likely to become out of place. IL should
not be necessary to remove heavy
limbs, which is often injurious to the
tree. 1t is sometimes necessary to do
summer pruning, which should be
done usually in the early part of June,
but no large proportion of the tops
should be removed at this time of the
year. All heavy pruning should be
done when the tree is dormant
