BEST TIME TO PRuNE TREES
Spring Season 10 Best Time, Although
Work May BE Performed Any
W" Time Without Much Injury.

The best time to prune fruit trees
Is In the spring, although they may be
pruned at any time without serious
injury. Two main objects of pruning
apple and plum trees are to make trees
which will not break down easily and
will bear good crops of well-colored
fruit. When young trees are planted
the main branches are reduced to from
three to FIVE, arranged in such man
ner that there will not be bad crotches
formed by any two branches. After
wards cross branches are removed
each year. Severe pruning In any one
year is not desirable. If the trees you
desire to prune are not young trees
the plan is to prune away branches
which cross others, and If the tree
seems very thick to remove some adj
ditional branches, but it is often better
to cut away some Of the smaller
branches from the outside of the tree
rather than to cut out large branches.
the wounds of which take long time
to heal over. 1t is not necessary to
put anything on the wounds where
they are less than, say, about an inch
In diameter; hut it is desirable to
keep larger wounds painted with white
lead paint.
