GROWING Timhrr

In growing trees solely fol the sake
of their timber very little pruning will
be required. aud that mostly TO regn-
late growths when the trees are young,

clean trunks instead Of short stems
and bushy tops. An upright leading
shoot should be encouraged and all 9TH

case Of young tree producing several
upright or leading branches, the best
placed and most central should be Sc
lected as the permanent leader and all
others discarded by pruning them back
close TO the trunk. Trees that are
planted purposely for timber are set
quite closely, so that they may become
crowded and their tops drawn up TO-

In regard to cultivation, there Is not
great deal Of difference Ia the re-

All are alike benefited by frequent
hoeing and stirring Of the soil, espe-
cially during dry weather. as It breaks
capillarity and thus prevents the sub
terranean moisture from being lost at
the surface OF the soil. Peas should
be sown in drills two inches deep, four
