OPINION NOT ALWAYS FINAL
Pretty Safe to Say That Doctors
Diagnosis Was "Away OFF"
in This Case.

The pretty daughter of physician
Is engaged to a college student of
whom her father does not altogether
approve. His daughter is too young
to think of marriage, the doctor as
serts; the college student is too
young to think of 1t, likewise. 1t is
out of the question.
She explained all this to her lover
the other night.
Father says" she summed 1t up;
father says, dear, that l will have to
give you up"
The young man sighed. "Then it's
all over?" he murmured, with gloomy
Interrogation. And the girl laughed
and blushed.
WELL" she said, well, you-you-
know that when the doctor gives you
up that's just the time for you to take
more hope. Isn't it sometimes that
way?''-Reboboth Sunday Herald.

base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that l had to use
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling

of inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent inflammations resulted in the

them prescription from doctor of

help somewhat for a time, but 1t was
not a permanent cure; next tried a

MANY DEFINED PRINCIPLES
in PRUNING FRUIT TREES
Adapted Different VarietiesIn Forming Top
Several Distinct Systems Are
Practiced.

The shape, however, should be largely
determined by the natural character
istics of the tree. Low-headed trees
produce the best results in many To-
calities. They are able to stand heavy
winds without injury, the fruit is near
er the ground and makes harvesting
crop and all orchard work much
easier, and the trunks are not so like
ly to be injured, by sun-scald.
If one-year-old trees are set out, the
pruning the first year will consist in
cutting the top back to within eight
cen or twenty-four inches of the
ground. The cut should be made just
above a strong bud. During the first
season three or four branches should
be permitted to grow; the others
rubbed off soon after the buds ex.

Try r. w. FISHERY

1t is known that heavy pruning OF
the tops of fruit trees in winter or
during the dormant period has tend
ency to produce wood growth, or
cause the trees to grow larger. This
is due to the fact that when pruning
is done when the tree is dormant the
plant food which is taken up by the
roots early in the spring is concen-
trated into a smaller portion of the
top and results in the very rapid
growth of the parts left. Weak trees
are often forced into vigorous growth
by heavy top pruning which is done
in the winter or early spring
When vigorous plants are given
heavy winter pruning water sprouts
are often produced, because there is
more plant food sent up from the
roots than the top area can use, re-
sulting in the growth of dormant la
teral buds.
Heavy pruning of the top in the
summer or when the tree is in an
to check the wood growth, causes fruit
buds to form and sometimes results
in the growth of water sprouts. The
wood growth is checked because when
pruning is done when the leaves are
performing their function of assimi-
lating plant food a large portion of
the area which is making plant food
is removed and the supply of pre-
pared plant food is checked, thus
causing a decrease of growth over the
whole tree.
Heavy root pruning checks the
growth of wood by cutting off the
supply of moisture and crude plant
food. This results in an increasing
number of fruit buds. In sections of

near the main stem and parallel to
it. The remaining branches should be
cut back to within three or four buds
of the main stem, making the cut just
above strong bud.
In the spring of the third year all

back. All cross limbs or limbs that
are too close together, or that rub
together should be cut out.
