overtop them or crowd them, and thus
interfere seriously with their develop

lists Of the United States Department
of Agriculture say in Farmers Bulle-
tin 1923, Growing and Planting
Hardwood Seedlings on the Farm" it
Is necessary to cut down the brush
for two or three years. When old
trees with wide-spreading crowns
threaten to shade the seedlings so
they will not develop properly. the
bulletin suggests that such trees be
cut out few years after the new
planting has been started.
To produce clean-bodied timber,
close spacing is desirable. When the
tops of the trees begin to intermingle
and crowd each other, however, they
become like overcrowded vegetables in
garden. Growth is stagnated. A
good gardener will pull some of the
vegetables in a garden that have
reached this condition. When trees
have reached similar stage, some Of
them should be cut out. In both cases
the result is the best development Of
the remaining part rather than a poor
development of the original number.
The best formed and most healthy
trees should be permitted to remain,
| and the others that are likely to inter-
fere with their growth should be re-
moved.
Trimmings are usually necessary
when plantation becomes twenty
years old, sometimes sooner. The
openings in the crown-cover of the
stand made by removing trees should
not be too large to prevent the growth
of the remaining tree tops from COW
ering the gaps in from three to five
years. When poles are cut for farm
use, crude form of thinning may be
accomplished by care in the selection
OF trees with a view to the improve
ment OF the stand.
Pruning of tree branches is usually
unnecessary, and, because of the cost
of labor, undesirable. If tree is
pruned too far up it may become top
heavy and easily broken by severe
winds. The catalpa, ash and black
cherry are known to have suffered

Is true of many other species. If, be

essary. it should be conducted in late
winter or early spring, and should no.

The breeding of domestic animals
dates back to remote antiquity, when

widely current while the one sound
principle known to the ancients-sc-
