PRUNING OF THE PEACH TREE
Limited Amount Of Summer Work Can
Be Done to Advantage-Reduce
Operations to Minimum.

Sometimes the owner of peach Or
chard will find 1t necessary to prune
his trees throughout the winter when
ever the weather is suitable for men
to work in the orchard, particularly II
the operations are very extensive. But
il the fruit buds are endangered dur
ing the winter by adverse tempera-
lures, it may be advisable to delay
pruning as much as economic condi-
tons permit until settled spring wealth.
er arrives. This is especially advis-
able IL heavy heading in OF the pre-
viOus seasons growth Is involved,
since the proportion Of live buds may
determine the extent to which the cut
ting back should be carried.
A limited amount of summer prun-
ing usually can be done to advantage.
The trees should be observed con-
stantly throughout the season OF active
growth. Whenever a branch is seen
which is so placed that 1t obviously
will need to be removed at the annual
pruning for the shaping up of the tree,
It is we'll to take it off at once. In
this way the annual pruning can be
reduced to a minimum and the removal
of large limbs rarely will be necessary.

KEEP UP FERTILITY OF SOIL
When Trees Begin to Show Signs Of
Starvation Nothing Is Better Than
Application Of Manure.

A great many farm orchards have
been left in sod for many years and
are in sod at the present time. Many
are cultivated each year and the crop
taken off the land, says Farmers
Guide. In most cases no effort has
been made to keep up the fertility of
the soil. Apples are as profitable as
any crop grown en- the farm. If the
trees are not taken care of, farmer
has no reason to expect that they will
give good yields. You do not expect
hogs and cattle to thrive without reg
ular feed, and just as truly the trees
will fail if you starve them. The only
difference is, that because Of a store
Of food in the earth, trees will live a
long time between feeds. This is so
true that young trees growing on rich
land need no feed until after the fruit
ing years begin. But after a tree has
borne three or four crops, it will be
much less vigorous. The leaves will be
smaller and of lighter color, and
they will be noticed to drop quite
early in the fall. The leaders will
make but slow growth, perhaps none
at all, where few years earlier they
extended ten or twelve inches a year.
The difference will be noticed in the
size of the apples, for they will be
small and imperfect
All these changes are danger sig
nails. Your trees are feeling the ex-
haustion of starvation. The remedy
is manuring, and nothing is so cheap
as the barnyard manure for it contains
matter which the soil needs to restore
its primitive condition. Do not feed
in half-hearted way, for when tree
feeds only once in eight or ten years
it needs a good big feed. Manure ap-
piled at the rate of Is to 20 loads per
acre is none too heavy.

GOOD PROTECTION FOR TREE
Where Splitting Is Threatened as Re
suit of Storm or Heavy Fruit
Screws May Be Used.

When trees threaten to split down
as a result of wind storms or the bur-
den of fruit they can easily be pro-
tected by the use of ordinary lag
screws which can be bought at any
hardware store.
They should be six or eight inches
long and your blacksmith will turn the
heads into a hook as shown in the
picture. Bore holes into the trees
deep enough to give the screws a
start without splitting the wood, screw
them in solidly and connect with a
