THE HOME FRUIT GARDEN
BY r. o. CLARE

The tree should be kept balanced
as far as possible. The places where
the branches are thick should be
thinned out. All cuts should be made
close up to the trunk or main limb.
The grape bears it's fruit on shoots
of the season, and these young shoots
come from canes Of the previous
years growth. Only a few exceptions
may be found. Old wood chat is
over two years old is therefore of
little value. Old canes are harmful
az plant food is required to keep then
alive. OF course the main cane of a
grape vine must be old but this
should be as short and small as pos
sible. Did you ever see a farmer
cut off all the one year old canes,
and then expect the old ones to pro-
duce grapes?. 1t is best to cut off all
but four or five canes, but these
should be as far as possible of the
one year old stock.
But some one asks, "Why talk
about pruning trees at this time of
the Year,"
To prune correctly you must under
stand the habit Of the plant, what
part Of the tree and on what aged
branches T. the fruit produced. Now
is the time to get out and examine
the trees and vines. Note where the
fruit grows, where it starts to grow
and then decays. Soe what trees
produce finest quality, note whether
OF not these are in low places, whe-
Their the branches are thick or thin,
are the water sprouts of any value or
Go they hurt the tree.
Locate the useful branches and then
save these when pruning time comes.
In short study your trees and vines
and you will be convinced that pro-
per pruning 10 a great step towards
success with the home fruit garden.

The subject OF pruning fruit trees,
which was mentioned in the last arti-
Gle on the above subject, is perhaps
less understood than any other part
of fruit growing.
A plant has a certain amount OF
strength, and If VIC allow all of this
to be used in producing branches
there is nothing left to make the
fruit. We should grow as few branch
es as possible, and still have enough
to bear and feed the fruit, and 10
keep the plant alive. Nearly all fruit
bearing plants should be trimmed
once in a year. This should be
done in the early spring. before the
buds begin to swell.
What, then are we to prune off?
Here is where the great mistake is
made. We generally take eff the
first that we come TO. without re-
gard to fruit bearing. Each plant
bears its fruit in a peculiar manner,
some on wood one year old, some
on two year cid wood, and some on
spurs, of various ages.
No plant beers fruit on branches of
all ages We see then that it is
necessary to know the plant lest we
destroy its possibilities of fruit bear
ing. The apple and pear fruits. are
borne upon short spurs of the pre-
vious years growth only. This spur
must be one year and it must grow
from a branch that is one year old
or more.
1t is very natural to cut off these
little spurs along the branches TO
make the tree look smooth, but 1t
must not be done. The ends that
have grown long and whip like should
be cut off, the water sprouts and all
branches that grow down or Cross
wise enough to rub other branches.

THE PLAYGROUND.
PLAY GROUND FORESIGHT.

PLAY GROUND FORESIGHT.
Every school should be provided
with an ample play ground, the whole
site occupying at least two acres. The
location should be chosen with a
view to fitness. That is, it should
be land slightly elevated, but level.
II possible, there should be separate
sraces for the sexes, tho 1t is en-
tirely proper for them to play togeth-
e.. when they choose to do so under
the supervision of the teacher.
There should also be a place Tor

pills.
The boys should have a space large
enough for baseball or "scrub-ball'
as It Is usually played In rural dis
tricts. II the ground is unsuitable at
the teginning of the term, 1t should
be among the first duties of the
teacher, with the assistance of the
pupils to put it in shape. All shrub
berry, bushes, stones and sticks should
be removed and the surface made
smooth. There should be trees, flow
ers and grass on some portion of the
school grounds, but not on the site
chosen for play. When the several

CLASSIFICATION OF GAMES

CLASSIFICATION OF GAMES
Some games only require physical
strength, or agility, as Leap Frog, "
prisoners Base" and nearly all
games OF running and jumping may
tt erefore be styled as physical ex-
elCise games"
Then there are those which depend
upon skill, such as marbles" and
'mumble-ty-peg."
Some are almost wholly mental, as
Checkers" chess. and all card
games.
again, there are games of chance
as d;oe-throwlng. matching pennies,
aud many others.
Some combine the qualities of chance
and skill, as most card games, where
the player must take the cards dealt
to him and make the most out %
them by skillful handling.
The best games for young people
are those that combine physical ex-
ercise with thought and skill. A
large number compose this class,
chief OF which in school life are foot
ball, baseball and basketball, lawn
tennis and croquet.
