that the branch which was removed

of the tree and to improve its appear
ance has In reality been the direct
cause of it's early destruction.
The decay in the stub which breaks
off near its origin does not stop at
that point, but the factors which have
been the cause of its decay and death
continue their work upon the heart
wood of the plant, until the hollow
trunk of the tree only remains. On
the other hand, if the branch is re-
moved at another point the wound is
rapidly covered by new growth, and
in the course Of two or three seasons
it is practically impossible to deter
mine where the branch formerly ap-
peared. These results, which are so
important to the life of the tree and
to the success of the plantation,
whether ornamental or economic, are
well understood by all plant physiolo-
gists. The stub which is left when the
branch is removed, If cut off at some

decays and leaves a hollow branch,
while the branch which is cut off close
to its origin almost invariably heals

During the early years OF the life Of
both ornamental and fruit trees q
vigorous use of the pruning knife is
frequently necessary. Trees normally
make much longer natural growth
during the first ten years OF their ex-
istence than later. For this reason, in
order to preserve a symmetrical form
and to prevent the fruit being borne at
the extremity of long, slender,
branches, careful heading-in is neces-
sary. With pears and apples the main
body branches left at planting time
should not be more than eight inches
long. At the close of the first season,
when pruning time arrives, the growth
of that year should again be shortened
to at least one foot and each of the
main body branches should be allowed
to carry not to exceed three subdivis-
ions, each of which should be eight
inches long. The third year the same
operation should be repeated and in
stead of allowing each subdivision to
carry three branches the number
should be reduced to two. The ar
rangement Of these branches should
in all cases be based upon the same
principles as the arrangement of the
branches on the main body of the
tree.
1t is not reasonable to expect that
every tree planter will have observed
all of the proper precautions in caring
for his ornaments and fruit trees. 1t

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, July stocks manifested a
further tendency TO harden today, par
ticularlY in the anthracite and copper
divisions. Dealings palpably OF profess

on the previous day, and as the session
advanced they cnmprehended various
standard issues, with the usual erratic
movement in the specialties. Despite the
early dizziness the market was fairly
usual number of specialtes were quoted.
The early afternoon witnesses the GUS
tomary period of lassitude, but the final
hour, in which the average level Of
prices was highest, was fairly active al
though much of the trade was in the
minor metal stocks. The closing was
strong with large percentage of sub
stantial gains.
Aside from another large issue of
timistic interview by an acknowledged
market leader, the day was devoid of
news. AS for the railroad returns, they
were not altogether calculated to inspire
confidence. The financial community,
especially that element vaguely referred
to the large interests, seemed to
evince more interest in the forthcoming
money trust inquiry and conditions
abroad than in the market itself. Pri-

The athletic career OF Nardini has
been long and worthy one He first
came into prominence at Concord High

pronounced the best track man in the
school. At Brewster Academy his
next preparatory school. in 1909. his

meet that he established his record OF
10 seconds fiat in the 100
In the fall of 1909 he went to Dart
mouth but remained there for only a
few months and then came to Colby.
In the dual meet with Bates. his first
year. he took FIRST place in the loo
yard dash and second in the go He
was not allowed to enter in the inter
collegiate meet that year.
In his Sophomore year he was cap
tain of the track team. In the dual
meet with Maine he captured first
place in the 100 and GO and second in
the broad. and one week later in the
intercollegiate meet he took three
firsts in the 100, in the go and in the
broad jump That same year he went
TO the annual New England Intercol-
legiate Meet at Springfield and cap
tured second place in the 100 and third
i'm the broad.
His Junior year has even been more
eventful than any of the others. In the
dual meet with the University of
Maine he took his legal three firsts in
the 10O 220 and broad and in the big
meet at Brunswick in May, he re-
peated the feat In the Springfield
meet. this year. he took first in The
short dash and third in the broad
jump
Nardini has broken several college
records. In the intercollegiate meet in
1911 he established a college record of
10 and 1-5 seconds in the hundred. In
the big meet, this year. he equalled
the state record of % and Is in the
POO ward dash. and established a new
college record in the broad jump of
q feet three and SIS inches In class
meet he lowered his college record of
10 ana ID in the 100 Il 10 fiat.
Nardini WAS first brought out by
Coach Adams who was with him at
Concord and at Brewster Academy,
Adams considers that Nardini is one
Of the most consistent runners with
whom he has had to deal.
