HEIGHT OF FORK OF TREES
u Never Grows Higher Than the Point
Where First Noted, Declares
an Authority.

Some people through careless OBJ
servation believe that the fork of q
forest tree will gradually grow higher
from the ground. II they would in
vestigate II would be found that the
forks and heads" of fruit trees at at
exactly the same point where they
were when first noted.
The state forester In inspecting To-
Gust and catalpa groves throughout the
state, says the Indiana Farmer, has
found owners who have not removed
one part Of the fork OF those trees
that have formed forks below the fence
post length, believing that In years
the fork would grow up and a fence
post could be cut below the fork. This
erroneous belief is the cause Of much
OF the delay and neglect OF pruning In
early life of street and roadside trees.
II should be remembered that the
base Of fork or a branch of tree
will always remain at the same dis
lance above the ground. The side
branches Of some trees, such as the
elm, usually continue to grow upward,
while those Of other trees, such as
the naples, incline upward when
young and as the tree grows older
the weight Of the branches gradually
brings 1t to the horizontal. The latter
often makes the removal of large
branches necessary. which not only
spells the symmetry of the tree, but
usually starts decay, which soon kills
the tree.
No street or roadside tree should be
permitted to form a fork below ten
feet and all Of the side branches to the
same height should be removed SO that
they will shade the adjacent crop less.
II this is done the tree in time will
grow a saw log below the branches.

IFrom the Berry Citizen.l

Physiology. hygiene and other fea-
lures pertaining to sanitation should
have proper place upon the curricu-
lum Of the school at this place and
taught regularly each week. In order
that these subjects may be properly
handled the four physicians Of Berry
should be placed In charge. Each one
Of them would be willing to give an
hour Of his time each week to the
school as an instructor upon sanitary
" hygiene science. The mere teaching
Of physiology, while It may interest
somewhat and tickle the fancy Of
many Of the children, does not protect
one against tuberculosis, typhoid fe-
yer and other infectious diseases.
These subjects would not be too diffi-
cult to teach, and either II our physi-
clans could make them understa nda.

incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis

and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and
