SPRAY OUTFIT IS ESSENTIAL
Many Places on Farm Where Ii Is
Needed-valuable in Orchard,
Garden and Henhouse.

No farm should be without a good
spraying outfit. There are so many
places where it is valuable. The or
chard, the garden and the henhouse
all need it. The little bucket spray
ers are just an aggrayation for any
use where pressure and speed are
needed, though they are fully as USE
full as one could expect them to be.
For spraying one or two trees, or for
the henhouse, they will do very well,
but in a large field of potatoes, a large
orchard of large trees, or where force
enough is needed to throw the spray
into dense foliage, they cannot be ex-
pected to do the work as well as n
more powerful pump. The lever ac-
ton Of the barrel pump handle adds to
the power exerted, and the larger CYL
inder gives a faster flowing stream and
a greater pressure can be maintained
with the same nozzle. A barrel spray
er, that takes a barrel without a head
and is attached to the rim Of the bar
rel, will give good service.

GOOD PRUNING POINTS
Orchard May Be Put on Paying
Basis by Proper Work.
Strive to Secure Low, Broad. Spreading
Branching System, With Open Cen.
ter to Admit sunliqht-cut
- Limbs Close.


Farmers who wish to put their or.
.hards in shape for profitable produc-
ton should begin pruning, whenever
the wood is not frozen, in midwinter.
Trees In heavy-bearing condition will
make stronger growth If pruning Is
done during late winter and early
will slightly check the rank growth on
trees that are making too much wood
growth and tend to throw them into
bearing for the following year. DR.. ].
G. Written, professor Of horticulture in
the Missouri College of Agriculture,
gives directions for winter pruning.
Remove all dead or badly diseased
limbs. Clean out all canker wounds on
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1917-03-30

the trunk and main limbs with a tree
scraper. Cut well into the rim of
healthy wood on all sides of the wound,
to get rid Of the disease. Then paint
the wound with common white lead
and oil paint, to each quart Of which
has been added one teaspoonful of BIZ
chloride Of mercury dissolved in tur-
pentine (about n oumce). Paint all
canker and pruning wounds as soon as
made.
Begin at the top and prune the tree
to secur a low, broad-spreading
branching system, with open center, to
admit sunlight and air from above. Do
not remove strong lower limbs If they
can be given sufficient light from above.
Aim to secure bearing branches
throughout the main body Of the tree.
If the tree is shaded by too much
growth at the top, the inner and lower
twigs will weaken and die instead Of
bearing fruit.
Cut back the strong, upward-grow-
ing central limbs to Outward-groWing
side branches. This induces the tree
to spread laterally instead Of growing
too high. 1t admits light through the
center to fruiting branches below. II
limbs cross each other or crowd badly,
thin them out enough to admit filtered
sunlight to all parts Of the tree.
In pruning cut limbs close, SO as to
leave no stub or knot. A protruding
knot will not heal. A wound cut close
will allow the growing layer to close
over the wound.
Paint all wounds over One-half inch
In diameter with the d~isinfecting paint.
