abundance of bearing wood it becomes
necessary to thin out all through the
tree. Trees should be headed low and
kept low by cutting out the tops for
convenience in spraying. Too many
large limbs should be avoided by jul
dicious pruning the first going over

kept thin and sufficiently open, that all
apples get the color and size that is

produces apples of under size and off

PROPER METHOD OF PRUNING
To Get Best and Quickest Results Ap-
pie Tree Should Be Seven Years
Old Before Cut.

The common method Of pruning ap-
pie trees is to thin out the top and
center Of the tree to let in the sun
shine and air. All the small feeble
looking limbs and fruit spurs are care
fully cut out of the center until the
limbs left to form the tree have for
the first three or four feet a clean,
bare, hoop-pole appearance, with no
bearing wood in the center of the
tree, writes j.. C. B. Heaton, In Farm
ers' Review.
To get the best and quickest results
IN apple tree should have no pruning
until five to seven years old, except
taking out s%ap-sprouts and cutting
back the long limbs to induce a short
stocky growth. At about the age of
five or seven years a thorough, sys-
tematic pruning should be given, cut
ting out only limbs three-fourths Of an
inch and up in diameter, leaving
enough OF the larger limbs to form
the head OF top of the tree. All small
straggly limbs of feeble growth and
all fruit spurs, especially in the cen
ter of the tree, should be left. These
are the limbs and spurs that will bear
the first crop of fruit. II once removed
these fruit limbs and spurs are never
renewed, but their place is filled with
sap sprouts that r an everlasting
nuisance and have to be removed
yearly. Whenever you remove fruit
limbs, which are always of a feeble
growth, or fruit spurs from young
trees, you are taking that much from
your first two or three crops of apples.
One seldom goes into a bearing
orchard but he finds great vacant
places -four to six feet in diameter in
the center Of nearly every tree that
never has and never will produce an
apple. This vacancy is where the
first two or three crops of apples
should 10 grown all such cutting out
delays the bearing period two or three
years. Every n attempting to prune
a young orchard should know that it
takes a thrifty, vigorous growing
young tree three to five years to de-
velop a fruit bud. Without such
knowledge he cannot appreciate the
value of fruit spurs and limbs that
show a tendency to early fruiting.
Until an orchard is ten to fourteen
years Of age 1t is seldom necessary to
thin out the small fruit limbs and fruit
spurs, but after the bearing habit is

sistently unlucky for long time, but
had come at last to that change of for
tune which is not impossible even in a
game where the odds against the
player are so monstrous as they are in
Wall street. His sudden winnings,
even on paper, did not equal his pro-

many thousands of dollars, and when
Mr.. Saintsbury perceived that he was

suffered nervous shock which had
much to do with his death.
This whole matter was a close Sc

death the lawyer went to New York
and attempted to collect the sum that
was due. Failing to get immediate ac-

New York lawyer and returned to
Davenport.

openly in the courts for fear of wreck
