his bed fired a bullet into his heart
with the same gun with which he
had killed his wife. That the house
did not burn up is probably due to
the fact that he shut the door

$4,000 on the purchase prica. Only
a few dollars were found in the
house and Grant had been heard to
remark that he would have to
borrow money with which to live

known as an eccentric character
and was a man devoid of personal
courage, lazy about the farm when
in apparent good health and com.

importance OF Proper Pruning

Too much Importance cannot be at
tached to the operation of pruning
young fruit trees. Pruning should be
done now before the buds swell. Each
tree has its individuality and the
pruner should know the fundamentals
of the operation in order to develop
trees along proper line.
Many growers do not take sufficient
pains or do not study the problem
thoroughly to develop their trees to
the best advantage. Often times
severe pruning must be done in later
years and often the trees can never he
brought into proper shape owing to
neglect during the first two or three
years of its life.
Representatives of the School of
Horticulture of the Maryland Agri-
cultural College are now arranging
for pruning and spraying demonstra-
tons in different parts of the State.
All growers who have young orchards
especially and who are not thoroughly
familiar with the proper methods of
pruning should communicate with the
College and seek its help at this i'm
portant time in the life of the orchard
The College will be pleased to arrange
for rs many demonstrations as its
means will permit.
Old apple orchards should be re-
claimed by pruning and spraying.
All fruit trees should be sprayed with
the Concentrated Lime Sulphur Solu-
ton before the buds open.
Amy one desiring information along
these lines should write to the School
of Horticulture, Maryland Agricul-
tural College, College Park, Md.
