PRACTICE OF HEAVY PRUNING
Much Theorizing Has Been Done ola
This Subject, but Little knowi-
edge Has Been Acquired.

Much theorizing has been done on
pruning, but comparatively little accu-
rate knowledge has yet been acquired
regarding the relative merit of the
easy-going methods practiced with the
so-called natural" form of top and
the more careful and heavier cutting
followed in the base form and other
repressive systems as practiced on
the Pacific coast
Many of the eastern OrchardtstS
have looked upon heavy pruning as
close akin to murder, and we have as
a result a large proportion of leggy
and awkward trees in most of the
older apple orchards, the bearing
wood on which Is high in the air and
inaccessible both at spraying time and
time of harvest, says a writer in an
exchange. Such trees require close
heading back, and sometimes even
need to be "dehorned." Such heading
back, which should preferably be
done In the spring just before growth
starts, need not be done in single
year, but whether done in one year or
gradually through series OF years,
1t should not stop short of bringing
the remodeled framework of the tree
within convenient reach of the spray
nozzle and the light picking ladder.

CONVENIENT TO DRY FRUIT
Loss and Labor May Be Saved by U.s.
ing Reversible Trays-Taken to
Shelter Without Trouble.
(By H. F. GRINsTEAD)

The evaporation is the best for a
number of reasons, but where one
must dry by the sun there is yet a
much better way than spreading out
one the house roof or a scaffold Of
boards.
Loss and labor may be saved by
having wire bottom trays two feet
wide and two or three feet long. These
trays should be made reversible,
which may be done by having the
sides of two pieces of inch-and-a-half
timber nailed together with the wire
bottom between them. This secures
the bottom and makes tray an inch
and a quarter deep either way it is
turned.
Four Of these trays will hold as
much as any ordinary family would
want to put out at one time, and more
can be had as needed.
The wire cloth for the bottom
should be galvanized and what is

Bed Cross Christmas Seals.

A statement denying the recent re-
ports about the abandonment of the
Red Cross Christmas seal sale has
been issued by the National Assocta-
ton for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis. The statement declares
that not only will the sale be held
this year, as in the past three years,
but that it will be conducted on broad
err lines than ever before. The only
order issued by the postoffice depart
ment which bears on the sale of Red
Cross seals was sem out on July l.,
and prohibits the use of the mails to
letters and packages bearing non
postage stamps on the face, and also
to any mail bearing seals which re-
semble postage stamps, If used either
on the face or back. The Red Cross
seal to be used this year has been
submitted to the postoffice depart
ment and approved, and thus may be
used, but only on the back Of letters
and packages. The design to be used
this year depicts pretty winter scene
embossed in heavy red circle. The
corners are white, thus giving the eff
feet when affixed to a. letter or a
package of a round seal.

known as No. or No. mesh; that is,
there are two or three wires to the
inch, which is close enough to hold
fruit.
The scaffold is made by setting four
posts high enough to be out of danger
from the poultry. Strips Of 1x4 are
nailed from one post to the other as
high as wanted for the trays to rest
on.
The end posts should be set two
feet or a little more apart, which will
be the proper width of the scaffold,
putting the other pair of posts as far
from these as the length of the scat
fold is wanted to be.
When the trays are placed on these
supports the air passes up through
the fruit, drying it much quicker and
more uniformly.
The greatest convenience in having
the trays Is when a shower threatens
or to protect the half dried fruit from
the night dew.
The trays may be quickly taken to
shelter without disturbing the fruit.
If there should be several days Of
rainy weather the trays should be
stacked one on top Of the other in
a shed or in the house; the air pass
ing between the trays will keep the
fruit from souring till again placed
out-of-doors.

to be in the shop from early morning

Mrs. Albrecht does not regard her
trade as unusual for a woman.

said "My husband needed help and
