110W.1 PRUNE.MY'FRU1T TREES

I have always.been obliged to econe-
omize on labor and so have hed t,o dis-
obey ntany of the rules laid down by
expert ;horticulturists on the proper
method and -time of pruning my trait
trees.
Undoubtedly March and April are
the best pruning months, but I am
obliged to do the work when opportns
nity offers. Usually: I find more time
in the.earlsi-and middle winter months
than I do jot preceding the rush of
spring work. I' therefore take ad-,
vantage of any fine days to trim and
pritne my orchard,
, In this climate it is desirable to
s keep the heads of the bearing trees
y open to admit the sunlight freely.

This brings up anotber matter
wherein My prat:Hee differs front that
af many of my neighbors. They usu-
ally permit their trees to go un-
pruned for a nurnbar Of seasons and
then they take -out ; a very large
quantity of wood at a single pruning.
My practice is quite the opposite; I
do some /matting in each tree every
year. - I think this practiee is less
likely to -throw the trees out Of bal-
ance and, discourage fruit bearing un-
til tho trees -can recover. .I have a
fd.tv old trees, however, that were in
bad shape and with these I did some
heavy trinuning with the idea of get-
ting thern back into bearing eondition.'
This resulted in the growth of a con-'
siclerable number of water sprouts

My„ewn experience:1nd what I have

There has been a -greats, deal of
argument among us farmers as to the
advantage 'of painting the wounds. I
took occasion- tolook this point up as
carefully as I could and found that
the:practice- Was a questionable ono
to...fallow. A bulletin from the New
York Experiment Station et Geneve
gives some interesting couelusions
front experiments conclueted there.
Many materials, including whine lead,
-white zinc, yellow ochre, coal_ tar,
shellac and carbolineum, were used in
those experiments, but not a single

In every case untreated,Wounds made
as quick recovery as did those that
