one of these in my opinion, would
prove fatal, but when you have them

Thus, opinions differ, the weight
of authority being seemingly on the
side of those who say that, if elcc-
Focution is properly performed, the
patient will not recover. But, as op-
posed to this, there are undoubted
cases on record in which person
mas received even a greater voltage
that that usually administered, and
for longer period of time, and yet
recovered. AS an example Of this l
need only cite the famous case of
John Branda, who received a cur
rent Of 2,400 volts for nearly Is
minutes, yet lived to tell the tale.
He was Of course, completely un-

when the trees are dormant. prefer
ably in the spring just before the
buds start.
1t sometimes becomes necessary to
renovate old trees which have become
choked with water sprouts and dead
limbs. The reclaiming process should
take two or three years, depending up-
on the condition Of the tree. The first
year most Of the water sprouts, all
Of the dead limbs, and a few Of The
worst offending branches should be
removed. The second year more Of
the unnecessary limbs may be taken
out. The third year the operation
may be completed. In removing large
limbs, as we'll as in cutting smaller
branches, always make a smooth close
cut 50 that no stubs are left. 1t is i'm
possible for a wound to heal where a
stub is left. The stub dies and rots
out, leaving a hole, which condition
will eventually cause decay Of the
heart Of the tree. The large wound
should be given a coating Of some or
dinary paint. This excludes the rain
and preserves the wood until the
wound is entirely healed.
The best pruning tools are a sharp
saw, the narrow type, and sharp
hand shears. A sharp knife can some
times be used to advantage. There

all purposes. Remember the axe =
