PRUNING MATURE FRUIT TREE
One Should Know Something Of Physi-
o!ogy of Tree and Use Good
Tools.

To be an intelligent primer one must
know something OF plant physiology.
he should know the effects produced
by pruning at different seasons of the
year, how to make cut that will heal
most readily, and the influence OF
pruning on the fruit bearing habit OF
the tree, writes Prof. o. B. Whipple of
the Colorado experiment station. 1t
is generally conceded that pruning
during the dormant season incites
wood growth, while pruning during the
growing season promotes fruitfulness;
and, since our trees tend to overbear,
it is logical for us to prune during
the dormant season.
Although it is said that pruning dur
ing the summer season may encour-
age the formation of fruit buds on
tardy bearing varieties, it may have
the opposite effect, unless done at the
proper time, and may cause late

growth and unfruitfulness. To give
the desired results one must summer
prune shortly before the season OF
growth ends; earlier pruning starts
new growth. while late pruning gives
no results. The benefit derived from
summer pruning seems to depend upon
the ability of the primer to prune at
a time to bring about early maturity.
In an irrigated section where soil condi-
tons are easily controlled, the same end
may, no doubt, be more easily attained
by proper manipulation of the irriga-
ton water.
Every primer should be furnished
with good tools: good tools encourage
him to do good work. This does not
necessarily mean that he must have
every tool on the market, many of
them are useless; it does mean, how
ever, that the AK and dull saw have
no place in the catalogue of pruning
tools. The primer needs a good saw.
good pair OF light shears, pair Of
heavy shears, POSSIBLY good heavy
knife, and, OF course, good ladder.

Transniantinu Trees.

Mark off the places where each is
to stand. Dig hole fully three feet
wide and one foot deep. Fill this half
full of top soil. Then put in good
shovel of well-rotted stable manure.
Stir this thoroughly with the soil
already thrown in. Set the tree on
this mixture and fill up with top soil.
If the soil, or the trees, are dry, water
should be poured in when the roots
are partly covered.
The water will settle the soil among
the roots and the trees will live. To
protect from rabbits tie small bunch
Of straw or paper around the trees
in the fall and remove it in the spring.

Paper making wood is becoming
somewhat scarce, although there is no
such famine in the northern woods
as some alarmists would have us be-
lieve. If, however, the government
succeeds in making good paper out Of
cornstalks, the wood will last longer
and the price Of paper will not be
advanced to a point where it's use
would necessarily be restricted.

teeth on both edges is d good, cheap
one and will answer the purpose in
many cases.
A discussion Of the amount of prun-
ing required by different varieties
could almost as we'll be introduced as
those on the pruning of different kinds
OF fruit trees. Yet, the growth Of
the tree, and necessarily the pruning
depends much upon soil conditions;
and, while it might be possible. it
would hardly be safe to lay down
definite rules for the pruning of any
particular variety Both the Winesap
and Missouri (Pippin) may be classed
as prolific varieties that require Sc
we're pruning. The Jonathan, at the
age OF II or II years. almost invari
ably begins to grow spindling in the
top and requires frequent cutting back.
In the general growth and fruiting
habit of the tree the apricot occupies
rosition between the cherry and the
peach. The fruit buds are developed
in the axis of leaves on both shortened
spur-like twi9s and the stronger grow
ing new wood. These fruiting spurs
OF the apricot differ from those of
the cherry in that they develop no
true terminal buds.
The manner of pruning cherries will
depend somewhat on the variety, but
the general plan should be to keep
the fruiting area OF the tree as near
the ground as possible; to shade the
trunk. to prevent sun-scald, and to en-
courage the growth of fruiting wood
throughout the entire top The sweet
and semi-sweet varieties are upright
growers and will need some heading
in to keep them within bounds.

According to recent figures pub

that it will work out satisfactorily.
The paper workers are greatly in

paper it will have marked effect on

Shapinu the Tree.

The shaping of tree should be
done when it is young. The practice
of allowing useless limbs to grow only
to be sawed or chopped off when the
tree is large is a mistake, as every
undesirable limb grown deprives the
other limbs of so much food and
nourishment.

CASE OF iNFANTlcIDE.
Male Infant Found Floating at Eastern
Point.

A CHASTITY sight met the gaze. of Lell
Phelps of Eastern Point Wednesday
morning as he looked out seaward
from the shore near The Griswold.
Tossing in the tide close to shore
was the corpse of an infant. The lit
tie body was drawn ashore and Mr..
Phelps notified Medical Examiner DR.
+. w. Hewes Of the circumstance. Dr.
Hewes, after looking at the body, had
it removed where 1t could be properly
examined and notified Coroner Frank
lin H. Brown. The coroner upon as
certaining all the known facts, pro-
nounced ii a case Of infanticide.
The body is apparently that Of a
male child. DR.. Hewes believes 1t
had been placed in the river immedi-
ately after birth and while living.
1t is believed that the child had
been in the water for long time,
probably since August, as the body
was badly decomposed.
When found the body was wrapped
in an old night shirt, this article of
apparel being partially burned.
Around the body, it is said, was also
a part of the Norwich Bulletin, bear
ing date of August II, and the Boston
Transcript. This paper also showed
signs of burning.
Coroner Brown states that it Is inn
possible to tell where the body was
put in the water, whether here or
elsewhere along the Thames river.

Prof. jeremiah p. Holland and the

an evening that was intensely enjoyed
by the hallful present to take part or

had given 1t up by the time twenty
minutes went by but the others all
finished, although some were notice
ably wobbiy on their feet and too tired
to pay much attention to time in the
final rounds.
The prize was settled by ten minutes

GUILTY OF TREASON TO God
Are Those who Join Satan in His KinsdomYet Men Re-
pudiate Christ Here Today-Armory Well Filled al
Evangelistic Service.

The armory was we'll filled at the
service on wednesday evening, which
dealt with the sin of unbe1ief. The
half hour song service was an inspiring
one and the other music later in the
service and including the hymns
Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus, by the
chorus, and Looking This Way, given
by Mrs. G. A. Crowell and Mr.. Herring,
was especially good. DIR. Slough gave
notice of the meetings today at and
10 this morning and at 2.30, 8 and 7.3O
p. m. His scripture lesson was from
the third chapter of st. John. Begin
ging with the 18th verse. His text
was Mark 1915, He that believeth
not shall be damned These were
among the last words which, Jesus had
with his disciples and were uttered by
him with tenderness of heart. 1t is
not a word to be used lightly, but with
bated breath, for it holds an awful,
awful meaning. Who are those con-
demned? Not the murderer, the thief,
or the others in the whole category.
The law of morals Is passed over and
the moralist left out of it all. A more
searching truth is announced. Unbe-
lief Is made the damning sin by Jesus.
1t is the unbeliever who is damned, ir-
respective of his morals, because I'M
belief Is the mother of all sin. 1t is
the reprobate spirit which produces
the immoral, QlSnOueSI, QeVlllSn IVeS
of men. 1t is at the heart of all their
sins and foibles. Jesus pronounced this
judgment upon men because he knew
this true of unbelief. He knew that
1t denies the sovereign right of God
to the lives of men. All souls are his
and owe Him their allegiance as to their
Father. Unbelief denies this right and
is vindictive in its refusal. 1t has
dared heinous things. AS Aaron Burr
was guilty Of treason to the United
States, 50 satan in the same attitude
of soul has set up rival kingdom
under that of his Master and all who
join with him are guilty of like treason
to God. DIR. Slough spoke OF the sin
of ingratitude and of the greatest pos
sible insult to God in refusing to ac-
knowledge the great love of God shown
through his gift of Jesus Christ to
men. And yet many repudiate all this
here i'm our city. They refuse pardon
and forgiveness for sin freely offered
and refuse Gods love. To live because
one died for them and then care moth
ing for the one who did it is an atti
tude beyond the hope or help of God or
man. These have committed the I'M
pardonable sin and there are many
such who walk our streets. This UNI
belief is an insult in that it absolutely
gives the lie to God himself HE that
belieyeth not hath made Him a liar"
Why is 1t that Christianity has reighed
supreme for 1000 years? Because it
would be all or nothing. There is no
such thing as comparative religion.
There is no comparison Of Christianity
with any other religion. Rome was
world wide in its religion and it want
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1909-10-21

ed to put Christianity into a niche
among its pantheon of gods-but
Christianity refused. Our Lord is pre-
eminent and there can be no COM
promise nor comparison with other
gods. Unbelief insults God by refusing
to yield to the wooing of the Holy
Ghost. The spirit of the Holy Ghost
is the only thing which has made the
church survive 1000 years of trial and
persecution and which is the potential
power resident in the church today and
keeping it alive. Unbelief is in open
rebellion to the influence of the Holy
Ghost. 1t keeps men from hearing the
knocking of God at their hearts and it
leads them to ultimate ruin. In con-
tinuihg to reject Him they are aban-
doned to sin and they commit the UNI
pardonable crime. Unbelief blots
Gods name out of their lives and
leaves only the blackness of despair
1t is a greater sin than Adams. He
knew only fraction of the truth. God
was to him merely the creator. He
knew nothing of the Redeemer. 1t is
a greater sin than that of the Jews.
They rejected and killed a yelled Mes
siah while unbelief refuses the revealed
Messiah. It is q greater sin than that
of the devils, for they fear and tremble
while unbelief does not. The unbe-
lever is not only condemned but he Is
condemned already.
Services by Rev. Mr.. Cunningham.
Rev. F. Q. Cunningham of New
Bedford, who is here associated with
DIR. Slough in the evangelistic CAM
paign, spoke at two services of spe-
cial interest and helpfulness on Wed
nesday, visiting the Sheltering Arms
in the morning and conducting a shop
meeting at noon at the Thamesville
cutlery. The service at the Shelter
ing Arms was conducted with the as
sistance of Mrs. Kirk II. Leavens and
of Arthur l.. Herring. the baritone
soloist, who rendered two appropriate
seleetions-God Will Take Care of
You, and No Shadow Yonder. Rev.
Mr.. Cunningham read John xiv for a
Scripture lesson, suggesting the
thought that whereas people in trou-
BILE were inclined to think of them
selves, of this world and only of the
present, it was the effort of Jesus to
draw their thought away from self
to Him, to the better world and the
glorious future.
The visit was greatly appreciated
both by the inmates and the directors
of the home, and included visit to
the room of Grandmother Graham,
where Rev. Mr.. Cunningham spoke
words of comfort and Mr.. Herring
sang They also visited the room of
another of the inmates.
The shop meeting was held in one
of the rooms at the cutlery. was well
attended, and much interest was
shown. Rev. Mr.. cunningham spoke
upon Thirst" and Mr. Spooner and
Mr.. Herring conducted the singing.
