intermediate or Natural Form.

BY G. B. BRACKETT, Pomologst, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture)
Pruning and training are important
requisites in the successful manage
ment of a pear orchard. The objects
to be attained are: O Symmetri-
cal. evenly balanced heads; (2) the
admission of sunlight and free cir
culation of air into all parts of the
tree tops; and (3) the maintenance of
sufficient foliage to protect the trunks
and branches from the intense heat of
the suns rays, which would otherwise
be likely to scald and injure both tree
and fruit.
Pruning should begin as soon as the
trees have been planted by cutting
back the young tree at the time of
planting to the height from the ground
1t is proposed to start the branches to
form the head of the tree, which
should not be over 12 to Is inches, as
shown in figure 8. This cutting back
will cause several of the upper buds
to break and grow, thus starting the
top or head at the proper height. The
starting branches should be watched
and only such left to grow as are to
form the main branches. The
strongest shoots should be left at
equal distances apart around the stem
and should tend obliquely outward so
as to spread and make an open head
The second year these shoots should
be shortened back to the extent of
about half of the growth, as shown
in figure 4. The same plan should
be continued the third and fourth
years.
In all pruning, to give the desired
form to the head and especially while
the tree is young, the orchardist
should keep clearly fixed in his mind
the form Of the tree as 1t is to be
when old; for what may seem to be an
open head when the tree is young may
prove to be too dense and crowded
when the tree is older. The branches
should not be too close together for
convenience in gathering the fruit.
During late winter or in early
spring before the sap starts, each
tree should be carefully looked over

tender. At such time the healing
over is more rapid and complete, and
the tree suffers less injury.
Old trees that have been neglected
may be renewed by severe pruning.
cutting back all the branches that are
not in healthy condition. This prun.
Ing will cause new, vigorous shoots to
grow. The new growth will need to
be cut back as occasion requires. BY
persistent pruning an entire new top
may be formed in few years.
When the removal of large branch
is necessary, the wound should be GOV.
cred with grating wax, paint, or some
other substance that will prevent
evaporation and keep the wood from
checking and consequent decay.
The intermediate form is probably
the best for training the pear. 1t is
a compromise between the vase and
the pyramidal forms and its outlines
are not so conventional. The tree is
allowed to grow more in accord with
its natural habit, but 1t must be check
ed more or less in its growth so as
to conform to the ideas Of the planter.
Different varieties Of the pear vary
greatly in their habits of growth.
Some trees are upright and some are
of dropping habit. Both of these
forms should be modified. Upright
branches are shortened back and in.
duced to spread out; and the limbs of
the tree inclined to droop are en-.
couraged to grow more nearly upright

Banks Replace English Saloons.

We are abolishing public houses, but
We are increasing banks. A writer has
put a question as to the number of
banks between the Euston road and
St. Adams, and on the south side be-
tween the Elephant and Croydon. Half
a century ago there was not one. 1t
was London and Westminster that
first set up bank for the small man.
And now you can hardly pass a street
corner without the appeal of the bank.
The change of the street corner site
Is suggestive of other changes.-Lon.

New York's Seal.

The figures on the seal VI the city
OF New York refer to the trades in
which the early settlers engaged. The
beavers were used as early as 1916.
Tor the trade in beaver skins was an
important industry from the colonys
beginning. In 1856 the flour trade had
become important also, so the wind
mills and barrels were added to typi-
fly That occupation.

growth and some make a slender,
struggling growth. All need attention
each year. In cutting back the last
years growth the top bud should be
left on the side of the branch facing
the direction in which the growth
needs to be diverted. By this method
there will be no difficulty in shaping
the tree into any desired form.
All pruning and training possible
should be done while the trees are
young and the growth of wood is

About 1900 People Visit
Agricultural Train

The St. Louis County Agricul-

from 9 O'Clock in the morniug
until shortly after noon.
The train was welcomed upon its
arrival by the High School band
and from then on Until tee depart
ure steady stream of people
passed through the cars and listen
ed to the lectures. The exhibits
were interesting and the talks were
both interesting and instructive.
Dairying and Poultry raising
were the most popular subjects
here although potatoes and other
root crops also came in for fair
share of attention. The improved
machinery, chicken paraphernalia
and the exhibit of crates, boxes
and other appliances were of much
interest and attracted the crowds.
Supt. Thos. Owens of Duluth &
Iron Range who accompanied the
special made an exhaustive talk on
poultry and cited some of his
results with his branch at Two
Harbors. Mr.. Owens made fine
address and his remarks were
eagerly listened to after which
questions were freely answered.

"Casey JONES'

Six people with few hangers-on
and ticket men, styling themselves
actors, essayed to put on a play
called Casey Jones" at the Elco
Tuesday night. The house was
filled to the standing room only
capacity at SO and 75c's per.
Those who attended were loud in
their praises of the excellence of
the crowd and the orchestra.
The company started out as if
they meant to give a real show but
became exhuberent over the easy
money they were getting and the
play was turned into laughing
match among the players. Mack,
the star of the cast was full of
something besides exhuberance and
took it upon himself, with the as
sistance of the soubrette to insult
the audience by remarking this is
easier than working" after look
ing over the house, and a lot of
other such coarse jibes. The only
redeeming feature about the play
was the old maid and the fellow
taking the part of Uncle O'Brien.

not much enthusiasm was current.
That those who figured thus were
mistaken was plainly to be seen by
the large vote polled Tuesday. At
that, not all the voters in the city
