Pruning Trees.

Frequent and light pruning is nee
essary in growing well-formed trees.
Heavy pruning is to be avoided. The
ideal form for any tree is a central
trunk as nearly straight as possible,
with branches well distributed along
the trunk.
Forks should be avoided, as the in
creasing weight of the branches is liza
BILE to cause them to split when loaded
with fruit. or in winter from snow and
ice.
Branches which leave the tree as
nearly as possible in position to form a
riehtangle with the trunk are less liza
BILE to break than the branches which
form ar acute angle with the trunk.
The removal OF the large branches is
always Il shock to the tree. and they
should not be removed unless abso-
lutely necessary.
Pruning may be done towards the
end of the dormant season, late winter
or early spring, or after the tree is in
full leaf. Ii done in late fall or early
winter. severe freezing is sometimes in
furious and pruning during the season
just previous to spring growth fire.
quently results in loss of sap, which is
sometimes the cause of severe injury.
Pruning during the summer season
is recommended for fruit trees which
are unprOductive.
In pruning fer fruit, the location of
the fruit buds must be borne in mind.
The peach forms fruit buds on new
wood, that is, the wood grown in 1907
bears the fruit of 1908. The chief aim
of the peach grower is to keep the tree
trimmed back 50 that the bearing
wood is as close to the main branches
as possible.
The g-ape is pruned back each wear
to new buds or branches. called canes,
for the fruit is borne on shoots which
grow from buds borne Oh shoots on the
previous, wears growth.
Apple, pear. cherry and most plums
bcar~ther fruit buds upon very short
lateral branches, called fruit spurs.
These splrs are formed on wood older
than one year. They grow in length

small fraction of an inch each year

quently fail to produce fruit buds. 1t
is believed that this is due to poor leaf
development, caused by lack of light,
and may be romedied by julicious
pruning.
Care must be taken that branches
previously shaded are not suddenly eX
posed TO the direct rays Of the sun, or
sunscald is likely to follow. Borers
are liable to infcst such injured bran
chcS, and in time cause the death of
the tree.
Close observation is necessary to de-
tect the presence of these insects. and
when once detected they must be de-
Stroyed. \ sharp knife and a light
wire are useful in locating and de-
StrOying borers.

Cultivatinq Celery.

Cultivation at all times should be
very light as the celery plant roots
very near the surface, and where the
ground is mulched no hand cultivating
will be necessary. Shallow cultiva-
ton should be maintained between the
rows. care being taken that the teeth
of the machine do not come in contact
with the plant.
Where no mulch is used it will be
necessary when the plants are small to
give them a careful hand hoeing; as
they grow large enough to shade the
ground the weeds will cease to grow
and shallow cultivation of about two
inches between the rows will meet all
requirements. This should be contn-
ued about once a week or after each
shower or watering from the time they
are set out till time for blanching.

USEFUL INSECTS

Many insects that live among plants
and flowers perform a work Of the
greatest Importance. says Ueber Land
und Nicer. The best known OF all these
insects is the lady bug, whose larvae
DO effective work IN killing plant lice.
Then comes the dragon fly, familiar
enough. so much so that few are
aware OF their propensity for devour-
ing Hessian flies, trit flies, and other
grain-destroying insects.
Among other useful insects which
we do not see as often are the ich-
neumon wasps and flies. Each female
OF the many species bore into a cater
pillar and lays one or more eggs in
its body. These eggs hatch. and the
larvae which come from them live on
the caterpillar, utterly destroying It,
AS they increase very rapidly, they
limit the increase OF other insects.
Next in Importance are the so-caIled
caterpillar files, which are scarcely
known. They are useful because they
are parasites, laying their eggs not
in. but on. the outside OF the bodies
OF eatsrpiliars. Seen IN the woods,
they are buzzing flies OF gray. black,
or yellow.
