TREE HABITS VARY GREATLY
WIntsr Pruning Tends to Make Wood
orowth-summer Work May Tend
to Produce Fruit Buds.

In many cases extreme top pruning
has tendency to produce heavy wood
growth to reJuvenate the trees. Heavy
pruning may develop strong growth OF
water sprouts, which indicates \ lack
Of equilibrium or balance between the
roots and the top and often causes one
part to live at the expense OF another.
The habits Of trees vary greatly; not
only In manner of growth from youth
to old age. but there are many varia.
lions in shoot growths. Some have a
tendency to produce strong terminal
growth and when headed In form lat.
erals.
Summer pruning. IL done at the
proper time and moderately, may tend
to produce fruit buds, while winter
pruning tends TO make wood growth.
The relation of leaf and fruit buds
shows considerable differentiation and
every grower might pay more atten.
ton to the bearing buds OF his trees
With apples and pears. for example,
some varieties will be annual bearers,
while others will bear only once every
two or three years. Some produce
fruit on the end Of last years terminal
growth: others on axillary buds on
last years growth: some produce from
one-year-old spurs. while others will
not produce until the spurs are several
years of age.
On trees in foliage one will gener
ally find the new wood bearing leaves
singly while the old wood throws clus-
tors. The new. growth generally
arises from terminal or strong lateral
buds. The terminals may produce
fruit, but this generally develops from
the laterals.

currants through their apple orchards
This IL an ideal plan.
In the average orchard two rows
can be planted between each two rows
OF apple trees. Keep the rows about
five feet apart and the plants about
four feet apart in the rows. and keep
the surface soil well cultivated. using
well rotted stable manure or other fer.
tilizer.
Currants always bring good prices
on the markets and there are never
half enough to supply the demand.
People have overlooked planting
them. Here are the best varieties:
London Market and Red Cross for red
sorts; Lees Black is the best black.
while White Imperial is the best of
all the white kinds.
During this entire season black cur.
rants have been in strong demand ON
the big markets. They have brought
much higher prices than either the
red or white kinds. We urge the
planting Of more black currants; good
prices for them are sure.

New YOrk.-Fate has played many

curious than that in which Thomas F.
Trusler figures Mr.. Trusler, who Is
stopping at a hotel, was a gunner In
the Third brigade. Canadian Held ar

The conclusion from a shell which
struck the ground near him last win
ter caused him to lose all recollection
of the past. Consequently. his fiancee
in Montreal mourned him for dead.
and even after he learned his identity
through scar on his right foot he did
not remember her or his parents.
However, as he explained recently.
he took his parents word that they
were his father and mother. and, al
though he does not recall his iirst pro-
posal he said he has fallen in love
all over again with the woman he was
to have married and soon he hopes to
make her his bride.
Although Sir Frederick Treves. King
Georges surgeon, is said to have at

means of hypnotism. Mr.. Trusler. who
is twenty-one years old, recalls moth.

sion was acting as q reserve force.
