PRUNING FRUIT TREES.
When speaking of Bruning, the
word "spring pruning' are generally
used when "dormant pruning" is real-
ly meant. Much of this dormant
pruning , can be accomplished during
the winter months and December ie
generally a . good time to commence
Operations. At this season there is
more slack time in the orchard than
at any other. If pruning is left until
spring, the rush of spring work often
arrives before the trees are all works
ed over in the orchard. The habit of
leaving the ,dcrmant pruning until
early spring, as a rule, results in one
of two thinge, either a continuation
of operations long after the sap has
begun to move, with consequent poor
healing of wounds; or results le un-
avoidably slipshop'work over a large
Part of the orchard due to a desire
to finish the pruning and get at ether
important seasonal operations. " By
making a start in the early winter,
working on days velum climatic condi-
tions are net too severe, the work can'.
be completed early enough in the sea-
son to avoir, interference with early
spring duties.
In planning pruning eperations it
might be borne in mind that a light
pruning each year will keep a tree in
better condition than heavy pruning
at Iess frequent intervals. Pruning
recommendations to -day are radically
ditferent from those of a few years
ago and those who are interested in
flee subject are advised to write to
the Publications Branch, Dept. of
Agriculture, Ottawa, for a copy of
18 (new series), which
vide& into two clothe, namely, these
that attack the adult bens and those
that attaeic the brood. Q'f the former
there is but little lcnown. The Isle of
Wight disease, the cause of which has
been recent:v found to be a mite Io•
eating in the spiracles or breathing
tubes of the bee, is no far unknown on
• this, continent. Paralysis, another
disease of adult heea, is of little im=
portance in thin part of the country.
Bees affected by this ailment, the
(•cause of which is unknown, tremble
and have a clerk, creasy appearance.
1 Diseases ef the bread, how''Yer, are
of much mere concern to the hee-
1 keeper. The meet important of these
are: American 'Fonlhroad, caused by
;an orgar.iam called .Bacillus larvae,
which will eventually destroy a Vol-
ony unless man intervenes and treats
it; European. Foulbrnod, caused by
Bacillus pluton, which may be over-
come by a strong colony; and Sac-
brood, raused' by an unknown, exceed -
limey minute organism.
The first two• diereses every year

the country, and it should he each

dier with' the symptoms and the pre-
scribed treement for such. If he has
no literature en the suhiect'he may
secure a ropy of "Bees' Disences"
from the Bee Division at the Central
Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Great
care is necessary in diagnosing as the
apn'.icat.ion of the wrong treatment
will but spread the disease. Should
the beekeeper have doubts, he should
forward n sample of diseased ],rood to
the Bee Division for analysis, and
thus prevent milkier a costly error.
