LITTLE PRUNING FOR PEARS
Certain Definite Recommendations Nov.
eelleved to Be Justified by
Geneva Station.

HOW to prune pears TO the hest al.
vantage has occupied the attention os
horticulturlsts at the New York ex-
pertinent station at Geneva for several
years, and certain definite recommends
uons are now believed to he iusti-
hed by the results of the station tests
Inc merits Of high and low headed
trees nave been compared, and study
maze or the effect upon tree growth
and fruit production of much and little
pruning. Low-headed trees receiving
little pruning have proved most salts
factory in all respects, declare the sta
tion specialists.
Experiments have been conducted
with such well known varieties as An
Jou, Bartlett, Bose, Clairgeau, Keiffer.
Sheldon, Seckelm and Lawrence to
study the relative value of high and
low heading. Certain of these yarie-
ties have also been used In tests of
much and little pruning for pears.
with regard to results secured In
these experiments, 1t would seem that
low heads were best for all varieties of
pears, especially for the tall, upright
growing types" say the horticulturists
"Low-headed trees produced denser,
larger and rather more symmetrical
tops than did the high-headed ones.
This would be particularly advanta-
gecus for unwieldy varieties of the
Keiffer type. Careful heading and
early training are always desirable.
1T can be safely recommended that
all varieties of pears will respond
more satisfactorily to little pruning
than when severely pruned and thlnned
out. Little pruning seems to produce
rather more symmetrical tops as well
as larger bearing surfaces. Heavy
pruning appears to stimulate greater
wood growth which results In rather
cumbersome. rangy, unwieldy branches
and relatively smaller bearing areas"

LIMBERNECK AMONG POULTRY
Trouble Is Brought About by Fowl
Eating Decayed Anlma! Matter
Castor Oil Helps

Limberneck Is recognized by the fact
that the fowl seems to lose control Of
its neck muscles, thereby allowing the
head to hang down and touch the
ground. The fowl seems powerless to
raise the head or have any control
Of Ii.
The trouble, according to Harry EN-
bleton, professor Of poultry husbandry
at Oklahoma A. and NJ. college, Is
brought about by the eating Of some
decayed animal matter. 1.-THE best
means. therefore, Of preventing further
trouble Is to look the premises over
for a carcass Of some kind" Embleton
says. 'In some cases we have found
1t to be rabbits, in others, snakes or
carcasses of fowls. Castor oil given
by means Of small funnel and rubber
tube inserted In the food passage,
seems to help somewhat In restoring
the affected birds to health

Ambitious Wild Geese.

Only one native species of wild geese

Canada goose, which, under suitable
conditions, can be bred as easily as
the barnyard varieties. The New
York geological park has reared sew

flock now numbers many pairs. The
usual number Of pairs nested last
spring, but one curiously acquisitive
and equally pugnacious pair, apparent
ly dissatisfied with their own brood OF
five, decided to increase 1t. By COM

succeeded In abducting the goslings of
other birds until they had Is, num-

RIGHT CARE OF GRAPEVINES
Main Thlns to Do After They Have
Become Established ls to Keep
Them Clear Of Weeds

The main thing to do for grape
vines after they have become well
established is to trim them and keep
them clean Of weeds. The best time
to trim is after the main cold weather
of the winter has passed and before
1t has become warm enough for the
sap to start to flow; and it Is best
to err in trimming them too early
than to wait until too late.
The idea in trimming is to reduce
the amount of cane so that greater
strength from the roots may be Sc
cured for the top growth which re
MAINS Reducing the amount of canes
or top growth permits the fruit to
be better nourished from the roots.
There are different methods of trim
ming, and the amount of canes re-
moved in trimming depends some
what on the total amount made, which
also depends somewhat on the variety
of grapes and the nutrition supplied
by the soil.
As a rule, 1t will be sufficient to
remove about tw0-thlrdS OF the canes
and shorten the other third to sew
eraI buds. Different methods Of train
ing the vines are practiced. They
may be trained on posts or on wires
attached to posts set at proper dis
tances apart. II land Is rich enough
to force the vines to make large
growth, a good plan is to have two
wires attached to posts on which the
vines may be trained as they start to
grow.
Light cultivation should be begun
quite early in the spring; at least
early enough to prevent interference
from weeds, and the cultivation
should be continued until about the
first Of July, after which none need
be given, though large weeds should
be kept moved down.
