TIME TO PRUNE NOW.

(By c. A. Keffer, Division of Hxten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
Late April and early May is the best
time to prune trees in Tennessee.
Peach trees may be pruned earlier, and
grapevines that have not yet been
pruned should have the work done
whom the new growth is few inches
long, at which time the greatest care
II necessary to avoid breaking the new
shoots; but apples and pear trees
especially are best pruned now.
II the trees are Of bearing age, be-
gin pruning at the top, and remember
that the purpose Of pruning is to let
sunshine reach the fruit spurs in the
lower part of the crown. Prune heav-
lest at the top. It is better to cut out
many small limbs than one large one.
Do not make holes in the crown, but
endeavor to distribute the Night evenly
throughout. Prune less and less as
you 60 down the tree, and at the lower
part Of the crown remove nothing but
dead wood.
Young trees should be pruned to
give them symmetrical shape, with
strong skeleton branches so placed az
to provide for the best distribution of
light throughout the crown when the
tree is in full bearing. The main
branches should radiate from the
trunk like spokes from a wheel hub
Avoid cross-branching, and narrow
forking. Do not cut out the small
branches on the lower limbs-they are
needed to shade the trunk and main
branches, thus preventing sun scald.
Cut back last years shoots from one
third to one-half, to make them stalky
(tall, slender trees can never carry
heavy crops), then the last years
shoots to provide plenty Of room and
Hight for those that remain Remove
water sprouts as they appear through
the summer.

THE BLACKSMITH PREACHER

THE BLACKSMITH PREACHER
Rev. Thos. Sexton, the Black

les illustrations that explain his
points, too. Cookeville is looking for
ward to a great revival. The ser
vices will be held on the city school
grounds.
Rev. Geo r. Stewart, of Knoxville,
has the following to say Of Bro. Sex
ton:
/. Il am very glad to add q word OF
testimony to tho character, and work
OF Brother Sexton, the Blacksmith
Evangelist He Is peculiarly en-
doved man. AS preacher he is un-
ique in manner and matter, but great
power is manifested in his work. His
Illustrations taken from his own ex-
perience and own lie are most thrill
ing l have heard few men who are
able to move audiences AZ he does. I
believe in him, and his work, and
heartily commend him." n.
He is endorsed alike by ministers
Of almost every denomination.
