Horse-radish should be grown in

handle as cash crop to realize on

ers have found the following methods
approved: Roots may be set either
In the spring or fall. although the
spring Is best, for the reason that the
winter freezing Of the ground some
times causes the roots to starve. Roots
for setting Should be of uniform
length, and set in hills as far apart
as one would ordinarily plant corn.
The plant does not produce seed,
therefore propagation from roots is
necessary.

One of the main objects in pruning

versity of Missouri College of Agricul-
ture In Circular 90. 1t is desirable
that this framework be developed as

Experiments at the Illinois station
with greenhouse lettuce and tomatoes
have shown that rich garden loan Is
not inferior as basic soil for these
crops to sod. Large amounts of ma.
nure in the soil greatly increased the
yield, but large amount Of sand de.
creased the yield, since the extra sand

oped from shoots. That is, in the
young apple tree the shoots Of one sea-
son become the limbs of the next sea-
son. Consequently any practice which
promotes strong, vigorous shoot
growth In the young tree is a direct
aid In building its framework. 1t is
well-established fact that compare
lively heavy pruning is a. great stimu-
liant to shoot growth, stimulant in
the !sense=of causing larger and strong
er, though fewer shoots. In other
words, while heavy pruning does not
cause the tree to produce more total
shoot growth, 1t reduces the number
of new shoots and those which do
grow are correspOndingly longer and
stockier. In the very young trees we
expect to retain only a few shoots,
enough to form the main scaffold limbs
and their branches, and we want these
to be as strong and vigorous as pos
sible. Hence we desire only q few to
form, perhaps twice as many as we
wish to retain, thus giving us choice
in order to secure their best possible
distribution from the viewpoint of
training.
Prune Severely.
In the case Of the tree little older
(three or four years., we expect to
retain larger number and also a larg-
er proportion Of the shoots because
then we are developing the branches
and sub-branches Of the scaffold limbs;
and we still want enough shoots pro-
duced so that some choice may be
made between them. With these gen.
eral considerations In view it becomes
evident that the very young tree should
be pruned severely, but as 1t becomes
older and larger pruning decreases in
severity. 1t is mpracticable to at
tempt to reduce this general principle
to definite rule ~ be followed with
all trees. Good Judgment should be
exercised in its Interpretation. How
ever, 1t may be a kind Of guide to
some to state that the amount Of prun.
ing to be given after the first years
growth in the orchard should in aver.
age cases remove perhaps three.
fourths of the shoot growth of the
preceding year; the second pruning
should remove perhaps two-thirds of
the shoot growth of the second sea-
son; the third pruning should remove
half to twO-thirds of the shoot
growth of the third season, and the
fourth pruning probably should re.
move something less than half OF
the shoot growth Of the fourth season
Pruning the fifth and sixth seasons
should be somewhat less severe.
Heading Back and Thinning.
When 1t is suggested that the first
pruning should remove approximately
three-fourths Of the shoot growth
made by the tree during it's first year
in the orchard, this does not mean
that three-fourths Of all the shoots
should be cut out Of the tree. Prob.
ably third to half should be re
moved, and the remainder cut back t.
half or third, or in some cases o
quarter, Of their length. In other
words, the pruning should consist part
ly in thinning out and partly I'm 6
heading back. The same statements
hold for the pruning Of trees little
older, except that as the trees become
older relatively more Of the pruning
should consist in thinning out and cor
respondinply Less in heading hack

ARMY DIVISIONS

In Infantry Each Will Have But

Tactical Organization
Plan Shows.

Washington. Nov. 9.-The general
staff of the United States army has
finally worked out the theoretical
tactical organization Of the army, as
far as the larger subdivisions are
concerned. Secretary Baker has just
announced.
The size Of the division, which is
the main combat unit, mas been ma
teriaiiy reduced, due to the lessons
learned in the great war, when it was
found that the American units of
roughly &c, 500 men were a bit too un-
wildly both from the point of view
on mobility and administration. The
American infantry division of the fu-
ture will have but 1885 officers and
men, while the cavalry division will
be as small as 6,417.
Army corps will normally consist
of about four divisions, with a
strength of 1886 men. Armies, such
as the first. second and third Ameri-
can armies hat functioned in
France, will have a tactical paper
strength of 337,221 men-roughly.
