PRACTICE OF HEAVY PRUNING
Much TheorIxIno Has Been Done on
This Subject, but Little knowl-

easy-going methods practiced with the
so-called natural" form Of top and
the more careful and heavier cutting

repressive systems as practiced on
the Pacific coast.

have looked upon heavy pruning as
close akin to murder. and we have a.

and awkward trees in most Of the

inaccessible both at spraying time and
time Of harvest, says . writer In an

heading back, and sometimes even
need to be "dehorned." Such heading

done in the spring just before growth
starts, need not be done In q single

RASH ALL OVER BABY's BODY
Itched So He Could Not Sleep

"On July ~. 1909, we left Boston for
q trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with US. After being in Ireland
q few days nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to- doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form Of q
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face. at different times It
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might The consequence was
1t developed into cores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
itch and burn at night SO bad that the
child could not sleep. He was ccm-
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind Of Disagreement, and baby
