PRUNING PEAR TREES.
Experiments to Prove the Value OF
Different Methods.

The following experiment in prun-
ing Kieffer pear trees was made last
season and will be repeated to deter.
mine the relative value Of time when
to prune. writes an Indiana farmer in
Farmers Review:
Experiment No. 1-One-half all new
wood was cut back before any sign of
the bud expanding in the spring.
Experiment No. 2-Same was done
to other trees when buds were ready
to open.
Experiment No. 3-When in full
bloom and ready to drop the bloom
other trees We're cut back one-half
Nothing further was done, the trees
needing no pruning otherwise.
Now for results they were just in
the order as was the pruning Those
trees pruned early gave the best fruit
this year and the wood growth was
good Those pruned second did not do
as well as the preceding, neither in
fruit nor wood The third lot gave
poor fruit and but little wood growth.
This is only one trial There may
have been other causes for this re.
suit, but we expect to continue the
same process another season to de.
termine the matter more fully. We
will also try the same process On
other varieties than Kieffer.

PLANNING A FAMILY ORCHARD.
What One Farmer Planted for His
Own Needs.

Own Needs.
In arranging an orchard for the use
of the family. there are several things
to consider. 1t must be located con
venient to the dwelling house, to save
time and labor in gathering small
quantities of fruit 1t should. If pos
sible, be located on land that will af-
ford the best natural advantages, in
the way of type of soil, and exposure
to the sun. etc. and the orchard
should be so arranged that the fruit
nearest the house will commence to
fruit first in the season.
A variety of fruits should be select
ed to furnish a supply OF fresh fruit
throughout the entire season, and at
the same time furnish enough Of late
fruit to store for the winter; therefore,
it is necessary to plant trees from the
earliest to the latest fruiting.

to get supper on no money, he shrug-
ged his shoulders. However, most of
them had friends outside or have

The Law in the Case.


The third paragraph of Section 8 of
Act 119 of the Session Laws OF 1907,
referring to the membership of the
board OF license commissioners, says:
NO person shall be a member of
any board who is or becomes engaged.
or directly or indirectly interested, in
any business for the manufacture or
sale of Intoxicating liquors of any kind.
or who is or becomes a member of or
is identified or connected with the pro-
motion of any temperance or antisa-
loon organization, league or association
of any kind. This provision shall be
enforced by the Governor by the re-
moval of the disqualified member when
ever such disqualification shall APP
pear
Mr.. Longs First Move.
Acting Governor Mott Smith, when
asked yesterday whether he expected to
remove Mr.. Long as being disqualified
to serve, replied that he thought the
public generally had the wrong idea of
the powers of the executive in the
matter. No action could be taken until
protest should have been made be-
fore the liquor commissioners, based on
the ground that one of them was dis
qualified to serve. After such protest
had been made, the matter could, IN
case the member affected did not re-
sign, be carried to the supreme court
for adjudication.
Although it is strongly probable that
it Mr.. Long were to continue on the
board such protest would eventually be
made, it is not at all probable that it
will be necessary. If Mr.. Cooke con-
sidered himself disqualified by the mere
fact that he owns stock in the Inter
Island, Mr.. Long would, of course, con-
slider himself much more disqualified by
reason of the fact that he owns saloon
premises. Mr.. Long, it is true, consid-
cred some time ago that as he leased
the premises and the lessee subleased
them to the saloon proprietors, he was
not disqualified, but the matter NAV be
viewed in a somewhat different light
now after more careful reading of
the law. Besides, the barkeeper of the
saloon says that the rent of the place
is paid direct to Mr.. Long, so it is
possible that the sublessee has stepped
out.
Mr.. Longs probable resignation viii

the Governor on his return from his
eastern trip.
