THE GREAT IMPORTANCE OF
PRUNING YOUNG FRUIT TREES

Orchard pruning has already begun
on the western slope. and 1t will not
be long before pruning time will be on
hand in other sections of the state.
Young trees are often more neglected
and misused than older ones in the
matter of pruning: therefore a note
Colorado Agricultural college Oh the
subject should be OF interest.
The framework of the future orch
ard tree should be entirely formed
when the third years pruning has been
given. Too often no attention Is given
to this important part OF tree training
and in other cases the tree is given the
proper shape when planted, but here
the work Is allowed to stop. II We
are to have the character of the tree
top determined at the third spring,
close study and attention. as we'll as
work, must be given the young trees
each season.
For those who are unfamiliar with
the growing OF trees and plants, the
basic principle cannot be too often in
sisted upon-that most trees and
plants must be cut back when planted.
Yearling whips az all sorts of orch
ard trees are the best to plant in Colo
RADIO. Such trees usually have NO
branches. Cut them back to a point 13
to inches above where the hrst
branch Is wanted. The mere cutting
back will induce most OF the buds to
form branches. II not cut back. usually

important feature Is neglected. Tho

The selected branches should be prop
erly spaced around the stem SO as to
form a symmetrical, we'll balanced top,
One should copstantly have In mind
the way the tree will appear when 1t
is full grown. Many may think at
first that the distance between the
first and last limbs as given above IL
far too great. but when the branches
grow to be six and eight inches In
diameter the roportions will not ap-
pear out Of place. In fact, We believe
that even a greater distance, say thirty
inches will result In a stronger tree.
These framework branches should be
pruned back to about fourteen inches.
Many side branches will develop ON
each Of these limbs during the second
years growth. The second pruning will
consist IN selecting two branches on
each Of the last years limbs, one near
the center of the top and the other at
about fourteen inches distant The
main branch 10 cut OF Just above the

branches are removed as before. The

tribe he had never seen fire lighted

formation to the captain. Both men
went to the poop with their glasses and
carefully examined the coast line.
Courtenay was the flrst to break an
oppressive silence, and his low pitched
voice announced stirring tidings.
"Do you see those canoes yonder?''
he said There were three under the
trees before Suarez discovered the
smoke on Guanaco. Now fancy
can make out nearly a dozen. Though
they are not launched. they have been
put there for some purpose. Would
you mind going forward and asking
Mr.. Boyle to summon all hands on
deck? He knows exactly what to do.

J saw that number Of Indians were
launching the canoes simultaneously.
He counted nine small craft each
holding Ave or six men or men and
women. At the distance. nearly three
miles. he could not be certain whether
or not they all wore the distinguishing
headdress Of feathers. Against wind
and current they could not possibly
reach the ship under half an hour. and

The news that the Indians were ad-
vancing ran through the ship like wild
fire. Including Mr.. Boyle. Frascuelo
and those among the Chileans whose
wounds were not serious. there were
! fourteen men available for tho de-
Tense. Unfortunately the supply Of
firearms was inadequate. A shotgun
and Eve revolvers constituted the ar
mory. and one Of the pistols was In
| Christobal's pocket. The supply OF
ammunition was SO small that the re-
volvers could not be reloaded more
than three times. but Courtenay had
200 shot cartridges. and against naked
men an ounce of shot is far more Of

Of this work from the spar deck, as he
undertook to keep the rails clear for

knew what was expected Of him, so
the language difficulty offered no ap-
parent hindrance once the fight began.
Finally, II the Indians made good their
footing, the defenders were to rally to-
ward the salon companion, where
steam Jets were ready to squirt with
ering blasts along the corridors.
1t was good plan and might have
kept at bay an enemy Of higher valor
than the Alaculofs, provided they were
not armed with rifles. Against mod
ern weapons Of long range nothing
could be done. II Suarez did not exag-
gerate therein lay the real danger.
Courtenay wished to make sure at the
outset Of the number Of guns carried
by the savages. 1t was also important
to know whether their marksmen were
distributed or crowded together In one
or two canoes. II the latter, he would
give those warriors his special atten-
ton.
His binocular glasses were not strong
enough, so he walked back toward the
chart house to procure a telescope
Catching Joey under his left arm, he
climbed the short ladder leading to
the spar deck and pulled it up after
him. the bolts having been already re-
moved to permit of that being done.

do not know that we even knew we
saw such things, but some of them
come to me as | sit with you and talk
OF that long day. We did not notice,
and we did not think that at any
moment we too might have our heads
blown off or be smashed into little
pieces like the breaking of a Jug.
Once, when we rushed over the bic
guns and killed the men who still
fought with us, We turned the guns
to fire on the Austrians as they flew
away, but they had driven bits of
steel into the touchholes, and SO we
could not fire them. They were of a
courage, those Austrians.
Only once in all that battle did
think much of what [ saw or heard.
and that was when there was the
terrible screaming Of q captain who
had his foot shot off He twisted and
turned as he cried out, and it was a
very bad sound. But it is Just as it
chances. l saw many men who were
hurt worse than that captain and
many who were blown into little bits.
but did not trouble about them. It
is just if it chances so.
1t is very often that a man does
not know that he is hurt. [ remem-
Der that once there was a man near
me with a great hole in his forehead,
but he ran right on with us with his
bayonet, and I thought, He will fall
dead. But after that I saw him no
more, for there was always the fight
ing.
"The storm and the blackness, they
made of us great mixing. Yes; it
was a very great tangling, for all
lines we're lost, and [ know that some
times Austrians struck at Austrians
and sometimes Italians struck at Ital-
ians, for We were in very great mix
ing and very fierce in the blackness of
that storm.
"We were told to lie down and
sleep. So we lay down where we
were, among the dead and the wound
ed, among the Italians and the Aus
TRANS.
"And We slept, Yes; we we're
tired, for we had fought hard for all
that long, long day, and on that hill
that at last we had gained we slept,
and we gave no heed to the dead men
or the wounded.
"The wounded they made very
great cries, and there we're men sent
to go among them with lights. Some
we're surgeons, and some were men to
carry them to the field hospitals. But

and we were very tired, and we knew
that with the morning there might be
