When the twins came home at noon

her about something that had occurred
In school. They were not sure what

PRUNING of Fruit Trees

Recognizing that the setting out of
a fruit tree is for the purpose Of get
ting fruit, all pruning is to be done
tree Is set as much for ornament or for
shade as for the fruit, calling, perhaps,
for slightly different pruning than
when grown for fruit alone; still, the
treatment would not differ greatly, for
no matter what the object of the plant
ing, tree of pleasing outline is called
for.
All fruit trees demand a growth of
young shoots annually If fruit is to be
rendered by them, and such shoots fol
low good pruning and good soil. While
dormant the cutting out entirely of
old shoots, the cutting back of others,
both with the aim to have new shoots
follow them, is to be considered. And
often as not there are too many shoots
being carried for the best reults, and
thinning out of such branches should
be undertaken. When fruit trees have
been neglected for years there are sure
to be branches too close together, and
removal; and now, before the leaves
expand, is the time to do 1t. Those who
have had their trees injured by scale
to an extent that greatly retarded
their vitality, and then by spraying
them quite rejuvenated them, will have
noticed that with restored health the
shoots spring out from all over the
tree, both where wanted and where not
required. There will be many of these
to be cut out, leaving them only where
they are demanded. In the writer's
experience 1t Is well worth consider
Ing when pruning the leaves of the
branches here and there to permit of
easy climbing the trees. 1t can often
be done, branch left here and there
and one cut away sometimes, that
easy movements about the tree be
provided.

Care Of .Peech Trees

The varieties of peach trees selected
must be largely determined by the
locality in which they ,are to be
grown, as some varieties thrive better
in some localities than others. IL con-
venient to market In many cases the
earlier varieties are the most profit
able, provided, of course, they are of
good quality; but with peaches, as with
almost every variety of fruit, II an
extra fine quality is grown, there Is no
difficulty In selling at good price.
When grown more especially for
home consumption select varieties that
win give q supply through the longest
season. Peaches are particularly q
fresh fruit, and are best In season, ana
little or no effort is usually made to
keep them any longer.
Peaches need a reasonably loose soil
and will not thrive IL grown in sod for
any considerable length of time. The
soil should be prepared In good filth
by blowing and narrowing.
Peaches are so often injured by
severe cold freezing weather, that In
a majority of cases spring planting Is
preferable to fall, but 1t is an item to
make all the preparation possible In
advance SO that at the first favorable
opportunity in the spring planting can
be done.

Preparing Soil For
An Apple Orchard
0ufflclent Proportion Of Vegetable
Matter Is Of Prime
Importance

Rocky and rough land is frequently
easily tillable land, which helps to cut
down the overhead cost. Some grow.
ers even claim that rock land is more
desirable for fruit than that which Is
free from rocks, although we think
this point would be difficult to prove.
Preparation of the soil:
That soil is In best condition which
contains the greatest amount of vege-
table matter. The American farmer
has been extremely prodigal In his
management of soils. Newly cleared
lands In timber country are genrally
very rich in vegetable matter, and are
In consequence in good condition for
any orchard crop. Old lands, or lands
newly t-oken in the arid districts, are
nearly always deficient in vegetable
matter. Old lands that have been in
alfalfa. clover or any of the leguminous
crops may be prepared for any orchard
planting by simply deep blowing and
narrowing.
Lands that are worn by continuous
cropping with hoed or grain crops had
best be planted to leguminous crop
before being utilized for an orchard.
AS 1t is essential to induce the roots
Of apple trees to penetrate deeply into
the soil, deep blowing should be re-
sol I'd to previous to planting the
orchard.
In districts deficient In moisture, 1t
Is. well to pillow the ground In the fall
previous to setting trees. Where the
slopes of the land are steep, or where
the rainfall is considerable during the
winter months, 1t Is best not to pillow
until nearly time for setting the trees,
as extensive washing Of the soil will
follow fall blowing.
Thorough preparation of land before
setting orchard Is just as essential as
for any other crop. Where very steep
lands are to be planted to orchard and
they are In clover or sod, 1t Is some
times desirable to plow, strips II or Is
feet wide In order to prevent washing
Of the soil between the rows.

1.-THE female mosquito gorses

nourishment. She deposits her
little egg raft on the surface Of
quiet water during the night, and
il floats there until the larvae
