RULES FOR PRUNING TREES
All Branches That obstruct the Sun.
shins and Air Should Be Cut Out
> Washing is Big Aid.

Pruning may be done as soon as the
cold days are over. From the middle
of February to the middle of March
is the best time to prune in our eli
mate.
Prune when the trees are not frozen.
II done now, 1t saves time, which Is
valuable during summer weather.
Before pruning study each tree to
see what 1t needs. Trees only need
pruning when cross branches are al,
lowed to obstruct the sunshine and
air. Cut out all such branches, make
clean cut with sharp saw close to
the limb. All dead limbs and suckers
growing at the base of trees should
be removed Paint the wound over
with a little good paint to prevent
bleeding; the cut surface will soon
heal and new bark will grow over the
cut Scrape off the dead bark from
the trunks and larger limbs. This will
add much to the neat appearance and
produce healthy growth. A steel
hoe, having short handle ground
sharp, is the best implement for this
work. After scraping wash with warm
water and soft soap or hardwood
ashes. Use stiff brush. All trees
will be greatly benefited by a good
washing. 1t cleanses the bark, kills
the large and small insects, and de
stroys the eggs of many kinds OF in
sects that live in the crevices of the
wood Apple trees should be allowed
to grow low with wide-spreading
branches fully exposed to the sun.
The practice of cutting off all the
lower branches SO the ground under
the trees can be planted to farm or
garden crops Is wrong. The entire
ground should be given to the produc-
ton of good fruit, and this can only
be had by close study, thorough cul.
ture, fertilizing. spraying in season,
and the use of corn crops winter and
summer

WORKING IN OLD ORCHARDS
Pruning During Winter viii Save Elk
ira Work In Spring When Time
Is Much More Precious.

Now is the time to take out dead
branches from old orchard trees. Prun-
ing now will save extra work in the
spring when time is precious. More
over. many insects and diseases will
be destroyed. To make sure Of it burn
the limbs. Dead limbs provide excel
lent camping grounds for insects and
diseases, says the Cultivator.
Always cut close to the trunk or
main limb; do not leave stub. The
inner bark will then have the best
chance of healing over the wound. Saw
on both sides of the limb, so that the
bark will not be torn off when the limb
falls. Always paint over the wounds
with tar or some sort OF paint TO pre-
vent the escaping OF moisture. Re
paint them whenever 1t becomes neces-
sary.
