INTELLIGENT PRUNING QUITE ESSENTIAL

an outward growth, to spread and
make an open head. Sometimes all OF
these shoots are allowed to grow the
first season In order to make the trunk
more stocky and are not thinned out
until the following spring. At the age
of two years, these five branches are
cut back to about One-half Of the
growth. On these five limbs that have
been cut back five new shoots should
be allowed to grow distributed around
the stem at equal distances.
This same system Of pruning is con-
tinued on the tree at three years of
age.
In all, pruning to give the desired
form to the head, and especially while
the tree is growing, the Orchardist
should keep clearly in mind the future
form Of the tTee-that is, what 1t
should be when old; for what may
seem an open head when young may
prove, when the tree is older, to be
too dense and crowded, the branches
too closely formed together for con-
venience in getting around In gather
ing and thinning the fruit or giving
the necessary pruning.
During early springtlme, or even late
winter, for the convenience when the
wood is not frozen, each year every
tree should be carefully looked Ovel
and branches which are likely to in
terfere with the adjoining ones should
be cut out and the centers Of the dense
growth thinned out, side branche:
which are making a stronger growth
than the others should be checked BY

Heiuht of Trees

When one is out for a walk, it is a
very common thing to wish to know
the height of particular tree which
happens to catch the eye. When the
sun is shining, it is possible accurate
ly to measure the height of the tree
from the shadow it casts on the
ground. In order to do so, a stick
must be set upright in the ground, so
that it's shadow falls beside the shad-
Ow of the tree. Then, as the length of
the sticks shadow to the sticks height,
so is the length of the trees shadow
to the trees height. For example,
suppose 21a-foOt stock shows shad-
Ow feet long, and the trees shadow
is Is feet long. Therefore the tree is
six times as high as the stick, which
shows that the height of the tree will
be Is feet.

heading in the central or terminal
shoots, and all parts of the tree should
be cut back whenever needed to main
tain an evenly-balanced head. Some
varieties have an upright habit Of
growth and some make a slender
growth. Such need close attention
each year in cutting back one-half Of
last years wood growth, leaving the
top bud on the side of the branch fac
ing the direction to which it is intend
ed to divert the growth. By this treat
ment there will be no difficulty in shap-
ing the tree into any desired form.
Open spaces in the tree may be closed
up; as, for instance, when the tree has
been deprived of a necessary branch
by accident or otherwise, the loss may
be recovered in time by pruning the ad-
Joining branches so as to divert the
growth into the portion made bare Of
branches.

CBy q. b. BRACKETT Pomologist, Blu
reau OF Plant Industry, Washington,
d. c., in Green's Fruit Grower)
In pruning fruit trees there are sew
cral objects to be obtained: ~ Sym
metricaI, well-balanced heads: (2) the
admission of sunlight and the free cir
culatiOn Of air to all parts of the tree
tops, and (3) the maintenance Of suf-
ficient foliage to protect the branches
and the fruit from the intense heat
of the suns rays which might other
wise be likely to scald and injure both
the tree and the fruit. Two extremes
are therefore to be avOided-tOO much
sunlight and too little Of it. Without
sunlight there would be no color to the
fruit, This can be fully demonstrated
by the placing Of a paper sack over
the fruit when Ealf grown; specimens
thus treated would have no color what
ever. The sun does the painting. 1t
not only puts on the delicate tints, but
1t develops the higher quality, the de-
liciOus flavor and the aroma of the
fruit. An apple, pear or peach ripened
on the inner lower branches where
light does not penetrate is lacking in
all the requisites that 60 to make good
fruit. The fruit thus treated is with
out color and without quality.
In many cases there is far too much
pruning done in commercial orchards,
but one cannot make hard and fast
rule that will apply to all sections of
this great country.
In sections where there is much
cloudy and foggy weather the pruning
should be more liberal than in sec

purses cannot open to them. For such
a basket Of strange foods with note
Of instruction as to what it contains
and how 1t is to be prepared, the re-
cipients would thank them most
gratefully. How many people in the
North ever saw chayOte or a dash
cen, yet these are quite as common
in the South as cauliflower in the
North. Those who are sick of the sight
of fish, might delight an inland cousin
with q basket of the fish so highly
priced because not near at hand.
Where wild game abounds and the
laws do not prohibit sending it, such a
gift Is a choice present. If you live
near the woods where pine abounds
with it's beautiful cones, a gunny sack
of them for your friend to use in his
fireplace for Christmas eve would
surely be appreciated. A bunch of
herbs, or lavender for the linen closet,
a pillow of hops for the wakeful
friend, basket of popcorn balls on
few vegetables, well washed and ar
ranged in a basket, for the friend with
small family, this may be so filled
that it will be as attractive as bas'
ket of flowers.
If you ever tried to buy spruce
tree in the city you may appreciate
what the gift Of small one for heI
dinner table would mean to your city
cousin. Five-cent baskets filed with
ferns, alder berries and other bits oi
nature which delight the eye may bt
given for a centerpiece for her living
room table for your city friend. Rost
hips, partridge berries, wintergreer
berries and others may be strung tt
decorate the Christmas tree. Do yol
have honey, or make maple sirup
canned fruit and jellies, make frui
cakes, cookies or country doughnuts
be sure any Of these will be hailet
with JOY by the friends in town.

WHEN JAMES TOOK A HAND
His Story Of How Wonderful Machine
Worked First Caused Astonish-
ment and Then Disgust.

While was running bolt cutter at
the Rock Island shops in Chicago,
writes contributor to Railway and
Locomotive Engineering, l boarded at
house which was frequented by To-
cOmOtive engineers and firemen. These
men talked a great deal about their
tremendous feats in getting over GER
tain hills without the help Of second
locomotive.
My opposite neighbor at a table,
young fellow who ran a lathe in the
shop, grew tired of this mOnOtOnOus
Dragging; he thought he was entitled
to do a little talking himself. One eve
ming he called out to me:
"Well, 1 went over and saw that
new machine today, and it's astOnlsh-
ing the fine work it does"
"How does it work." inquired.
"Well," said James, ''by means of
a pedal attachment, fulcrumed lever
converts a vertical reciprOcating mo-
ton into a circular movement. The
principal part of the machine is a huge
disk that revolves in a vertical plane.
Power is applied through the axis of
the disk, and when the speed Of the
driving arbor is moderate, the periphery
of the apparatus is travelling at high
velocity. Work is done on this periph-
cry. Pieces Of the hardest steel are by
mere impact reduced to any shape the
skillful operator desires"
"What In the name of sense is that
machine, anyway" demanded Tom
Briggs.
"Oh, it's a new grindstOne," replied
James, and a silence that could be cut
with knife fell upon the crowd.
