Heading in a tree from year to year,
and pruning with view to producing
an OPEN spreading, low-top results not
only in the development Of strong,
stocky limbs well able to sustain heavy
loads of fruit, but it brings large
proportion of the top near the ground

The man who prunes a fruit tree

beginning what is necessary each time
it is pruned in order to develop the

ROADS HARD ON AUTO TIRES
Yearly Cost to owners Of Cars 10
Something Like S1,ooo,0oo,o0o
In Wear.

A great deal has been said and writ
ten, in discussing the roads and road
building in the United States. about
the wear and tear of automobiles on
the roads. but brand-new element
seems to have been brought in by the
director of roads Of the American
Automobile association. who suggests
consideration of the wear and tear of
the roads on automobiles. Automo-
bile traffic now wears out something
like 400OOOOO tires year. costing au-
tomohile owners something like ST.
0OO,00O,000; and on the roads as they
now are. It can he argued, from data
already accumulated, that the tractive
resistance, otherwise wear and tear,
varies from 20 pounds or less on one
kind Of road to 300 pounds or more
on another The consumption of gaso-
line also is said to vary with the char
acter of the road on which an auto
mobile Is travelling The idea Is sur
prising, but It seems not impossible
that considerable part of the cost of
building national system Of roads
that would produce the least possible
wear and tear on automobiles would
be balanced by the decreased eXpens'
for tires.

PLAN FOR CUTTING ASPHALT
Method Shown in illustrations Is Time
and Labor Saver-Wire Cuts
Through Material.

Asphalt is usually shipped in tin
barrels The metal is stripped off and
the asphalt rolled up to the stopping
board; the wire shown, attached to
the winding drum, is passed over and
around the asphalt to piece of pipe
under and ahead of the stop board.
When the drum is turned it tightens
up on the wire and causes II to cut
through the asphalt. Kerosene is
poured on the wire to make it pass
through the asphalt easily.
The barrel shape is first cut in half,
then each half is cut into quarters
