VERMONT NOTES.
Sues boston Il Maine Railroad for $780,
900 for Death Of NJ. A. Hunt

gence according to the federal act call
ed "the employers liability act" has been

lows Falls, as administrators of the
estate of her husband Milfred Hunt

suffered while he was employed by the

allegation OF the plaintiffs writ the fatal
accident occurred on October 8 Of last

Pruning the Apple Tree.

The months of February and March
are the best months for heavy prun-
ing, and the following suggestions
may be helpful:
In removing large branches make a
smooth cut close to the stem or branch
from which 1t Is removed. Stumps
left invite fungi and decay.
In reducing the height OF the tree,
or de-horning the tree, never leave
naked stumps. but cut to leader.
This means that the side branch still
would take the place Of the center
leader removed, and the tree would
not look as II it had been de-horned.
II systematic pruning is done, from
year to year. there should be little oc-
casion for the removal OF large bran
ches, as they would then have been
removed when small.
Heavy winter pruning generally en-
courages the growth OF water-sprouts
or suckers, and unless these are re-
moved as soon as they appear. the
amount of pruning to be done the fol-
lowing year will be greatly increased.
A good fruit grower will prune at all
seasons of the year. for every time
he walks thru his orchard and sees a
branch or a shoot out of place. he re-
moves 1t. BY such practice, winter
pruning is largely dispensed with. The
necessity for heavy winter pruning
arises from the fact that the trees
we're not properly shaped and pruned
before they reached the bearing age,
and II the pruning and shaping has
been carefully attended to up to the
time the trees have reached the sixth
year, the subsequent pruning would be
very little. 1t is the neglect Of the
young growing trees that makes the
winter pruning so heavy in later years.

Concrete Canal Linino.

Whenever irrigation water becomes
scarce there is usually lot of talk
about cutting down the waste of wa
ter. 1rrigators, canal superintendents
and engineers all have a part in the
discussion, and often each thinks the
other is wasting the most of the wa
ter. However, it is not uncommon to
have all agree that the seepage losses
from the canals and bitches is too
great, which brings up the question of
canal lining.
1t has been estimated that of all
the water turned into the heads of
main canals, excavated in earth, in the
United States, 40 per cent is lost by
seepage, but since a part of this is
recovered by lower canals, the actual
water loss amounts to probably 25 per
cent. Whether or not it will pay to
place lining in a canal to save the wa
ter lost by seepage, will depend upon
the damage which the seepage is do.
ing to lands along the canal and the
value OF the water that would be saw.
cd. AS the water supply becomes more
completely used its value increases.
and in several sections of the west
the price is SO high that it has been
found to be good business to place
costly lining IN the canals and bitches.
This development has been prominent
in the past few years, and the good
and bad points have been noted in
