Pronlng la a naoaaalty whara
rraulU ara to b« ezpaotad from fruit
traaa. A tree can b« given all the at-
tantlon pnaalble reUtlve to cultivation
and fertilizer, but unleaa It U judl-
cloualy pruned the branches will be-
come thick, weaken and die. These
become the harboring placea for Insect*
and fungus disease* which prey upon
the trees and fruit. ICven If the
branches do not die they become ho
thick that the fruit Is Inferior In size,
color atvl quantity. Well pruned low
beaded trees, having the bearing wood
well distributed, and being stout and
stocky, are able to bear and hold up
heavy crops of fruit. They also facili
tate spraying, thinning and harvest
ing. They are also by far more orna
mental In appearance than the awk
ward, long limbed unpruned trees
Pruning is necessary, therefore, where
the best trees and first class fruit are
desired.
To get the most satisfactory results
pruning should be done every year
By annually heading back and thin
ning out the small branches during
the early life of the tree and repiovlng
the dead branches here and a stray
limb there, In after rears the tree can
be kept In good, healthy fruiting con
dltlon, and It will never be necessary
to cut out large limbs or unbalance the
tree by very heavy pruning. Pruning
should consist more in directing the
growth each year than In checking it
by one heavy pruning which is to
make up for years of neglect. If a
tree Is properly directed and shaped
when young It will never be necessary
to cut out many branches or large
limbs In later years.
Pruning should commence when the
tree Is planted. When the tree is
planted cut back the dead and broken
roots to good living wood, leave a
clean smooth cut. The young tree
should be pruned back to the height
the bead of the tree Is to be formed,
which height should bo consistent
with the methods of cultivation. I
would suggest I'i to l* Inches for the
peach and 21 to ;tn inches for tlie ap
ple and pear. If the young tree !•
whip like the »ide buds may he al- [
lowed to form leaves the first sessmi to
cause It to become stout and* tocky. Ii
It la stocky enough, all the Puds may

to start a young tree »!tti too ii.atii

that It becomes necessary to cut cut

If properly placed are enough f.ir ant

When “Bunty Pulls the Strings” has
undoubtedly added materially to the pop
ularity of Scotch characters and actors
in America. Duncan, the head team
ster of McLean’s timber gang and Mrs.
Duncan who gives mother love and a
home to Freckles, hi the dramatization
of Gene Stratton-Porter’s novel of the
same title are two of the most lovable
and quaintly humorous Scotch charac
ters ever introduced in a play. At the
