should be cut back just beyond a bud
that is on side OF a branch in the
direction you wish the new growth
to take. For it is these little buds
nearest to the end cut that will start
out the new and strongest growth of
the following season and thus be the
leaders in that direction.
Pruning when tree or plant is in
dormant condition tends to stimulate
new and rapid wood growth which is
desirable in young trees, while to
prune in the early summer season.
when a tree is in full vigor of growth,
checks wood growth and tends to
fruitfulness. Therefore, as a general
proposition, trim young apple trees in
late February or March when dor.
mant, and the older fruiting trees in
late May or June.
BY liberal mulching with stable ma
nure or other coarse material rein
forced by chemical fertilizer, fairly
good apples may be grown in sod
land, but it is far better to till She
land whenever possible for at least
the three earlier growing months Of
each season.

MAKING OVER THE APPLE TREE
BY J. n. Hale.

For the reason that an apple tree
once planted in fairly cOngenial soil
will take care of itself and produce
some fruit, the tendency has been to
take from the tree whatever was COM
ing and give little or nothing in re-
turn. The apple early became an ar
ticle of sale, but commercial orchard
ing, as a special business on any en-
tended scale, is of comparatively re-
cent origin. Fungus troubles and in
sect pests caused a steady deteriOra
ton in appearance. if not in quality,
while the greater culture as we'll as
wealth. of our people made an ever
increasing demand for fruits that
were beautiful as well as good.
While it is true that many of the
offerings are from new orchards of
the Rocky Mountain country and the
far Northwest. much of the very fin
est OF fruit has come from old trees
that not so long ago produced only
dull-skinned, specked and wormy APP
pies. The fact is that we are just
learning that nearly every branch of
agriculture is a sort of manufacturing
process, the soil, seed, and plant be-
ing only part of the machinery of
production.
These modern methods require five
or six operations year upon the
tree itself and. being somewhat diff
ficult to practice Upon the old-style,
high-headed tree, nearly all new plant
ings are made with nursery trees
headed much lower than was formerly
the custom. and plan of yearly prun-
ing adopted that aims to make a
broad, open-headed tree so close to
the ground that most of these opera
tions can be carried on without the
use of ladder.
TO the amateur the word pruning
sounds a bit scientific and unattain-
able, while in actual practice little is
required aside from everyday horse
sense, a good pruning knife, and
saw.
Yet. while it is one of the essen
tials of fine fruit production, no one
need expect perfect fruit from prun-
ing alone.
The broad. low, open head is most
desirable for the apple tree, but you
can obtain most any shape or effect
you like by annually cutting ont all
crowding branches, that there may
be plenty of room for the sunlight
and air. Whatever branches need
checking in their upward growth

LAND AND LIME,

How can a farmer know whether
his land requires to be lined? He
can make a rough test in the follow
ing way: Put a sample of the soil of
field on plate, make it into a pow.
der, and then pour a little hydro.
chloric acid (obtainable from any
chemist upon it. If the soil effer-
vesces freely. that is an indication
that the soil is not poor in lime; if,
on the other hand. there is little or
no effervescence. it is a sign that
there is a deficiency of lime.
This is simple and inexpensive
test that can be tried by the small
gardner and will pay him many times

Court at Montreal


Montreal, Nov 90 The suit Of David
Russell the Montreal capitalist, against
the Pinkerton National Detective Agen-
cy and the local representative Of the
agency for $3500o0 damages for alleged
conspiracy to ruin his reputation, was
dismissed by Judge Archer in the supe-
r.or court here. today, with costs against
the plaintiff.
The case was on trial is days. Russell,
one of the most prominent men in the
Dominion, pressed his claim through Sir
Donald McMasters, a member Of the
English Parliament, whom he retained
az counsel at a cost of $1,000 day. Sir
Donald came 10 Canada especially for
the trial.
The plaintiff charged that the local
agent of the Pinkertons conspired TO in
volve him with a woman and thus be-
smirch his reputation Tho Pinkertons
denied the allegations throughout ana
proved that the alleged conspiracy exist
ed only in Russell's imagination.
The court described Russell as "con-
tinually haunted" with the idea that J.
\. Greenshields. K. c., was behind the
whole alleged conspiracy, whereas the
evidence clearly showed that Green
shields had nothing whatever 10 do with

PARKER TAKES ISSUE
With Statement That Financial In

New York, Nov 29.-Alten B. Parker
who ran for President on the Democrat
ic ticket in 1904, took ISSUE today, with
the statements made, yesterday, by
Wharton Barker of Philadelphia, insofar
as to deny Mr.. Barkers intimation tina;
the financial interests ever had intended
to support Parker against Theodor
Roosevelt.
"Mr. Barker probably did not weigh
his words carefully enough said Mr..
Parker when his attention was called TO
Mr. Bankers testimony before the SEN
ate committee on interstate commerce,
yesterday. There can be no DOUBT
whatever" he added. that the Republi-
can party and the interests which con-
stituted its leaders were always in op-
position to the Democratic party. But it
served their purpose then to get Mr..
Roosevelt better in leading strings and
to that end they withheld their cheeks
for time and talked of hostility, ami
undoubtedly spoke occasionally in friend
ly terms of the opposing candidate"
Mr.. Roosevelt left town, today, to spend
Thanksgiving with his son Quentin at
school in Groton, Mass, and refused 10
add anything to his statement of last
night.
