I was born at hallway, Michigan,
in 1871, and spent nineteen years
of any life on my father's 'farm. I
then t nterejd the business world
expecting to find a pleasanter mid
a moreremunerative field at activ
ity. Quite by chance 1 heard of
the great devellopment, of the
Western Provinces of the Domin-
ion and decided to come out and
investigate, for mys'elfw I camp
here'sevien years ago and was a-
mazediC at the enterprise of the
new ,towns and cities, and great
fields of grain, the magnificent soil
the healthful climate, t'ie clear,
crisp .air in short, I was agreeably
surlpriiyejd in everything.
'I decided then and there to lo-
cate and share in the wiest's pros-
prity. I' looked: about for some,
time and (secured +a very good
homestead (SSi:E.28-32-1w3) South
of Allan on the Grand Trunk Pa-
cific Railway. My land, 320 acres,

Favor Mixed Farming
While I have devoted consider-
able (attention to wheat growing
I em going, into mixed farming as
rapddily as possible.
After farming here for a 'few
years, I learned that there was
some danger of early frost dama-
ging the wheat, particularly if
sown on heavy soil and sown late.
I eotieed an article in a farm jour
'nal telling of the qualities of Mar-
quis wheat. 1 sent for fivepounds
the quantity allowed 'he each 'far-
mer, and persuaded a flaw friends
to 'secure an equal amountand,pass
the same on to one. In tlra't man-
ner I received, fifteen pounds,
which I sowed on breaking. The
product I threshed with a flail
to assure purity: The next year
I sowed' the wheat on sumenler fal
low and during the growing sea-
son ' I gulled out barbed heads,
other ,grains, also any weed'. This
plan f 'followed each succeeding
year, using great care in threshing
to avoid mixing.
After winning the Provincial
Championship, I wrote to Dr. Saun
titers, asking him for a small a-
mount of a superior strain of Mar
quis, if he had one, as I wished to
get the best availablle. I also -sold
him .what I had done and the re-
sult, He advised me to select from•
my own, ds there was no better to
be obtained, I then selected a bus
hel of the choicest kernels, which
were sown in our garden. A;ftelr
the plants were headed out I
carefully culled out all plants not
to my fancy. I did this at ieastt
Boren times. The product of
this 'plot, I re -,cleaned and sowed
OD summer tilled soil, and again
the
mulling process was resortecl to

I can assure you that I felt a ti
of joy as I rode• the binder whit
cutting this 'field. The straw had
just a tingle of green, and the
grains 'were quite 'firm. 1 had
sown a bushel to the acre, and thee'
.yield was thirtyeseven bushels• to

It ,became evidlent that I could
not eget a machine very early, so
I hauled several loads of sheaves
to the barn. The remainder was
left in the stook or stack. It was
the wheat stored in the barns that
won at 'Tusla Oklahama, weighing
slightly over .eeventy-ontet pounds
to the bushel, which I understand
is a World's record.

the moisture was brought from the
lower into the upper 'soil„ causing
any weed seeds that were near

herrowed''out just es the wheat
emerged above the' ground. I us-

When the wheat had attained the
height of about four inches a rain
fell which settled the mulch, and
the .da 'following we again har-
rowed the field, gettinggrid of
many weeds and establishing the
mulch to conserve moisture and al
low a more perfect circulation of
air in the soil. There was nothing
further done until the heads were
visible, I then hired a man, and
it became his duty to' cut{ out any
plants not true to type, other
grain, or noxious weeds. In fact
I'iti.o this with all my fields.
I tilted the soil which produced
the prize wheat as nearly as pos-
sible along the lines I have indi-
cated, and by sowing only a bus-
hel to the acre did not crowd the
plants. Each bad a 'full supply of

The New Era takes the follow-

former, which we firmly believe
will be a benefit to Huron farmers
as web as• those in Norfolk .Co.
We publish the' first article of the
series this weak.

is to work around ordinary trees
with trunks four or five feet in
length, the branches of which have
been allowed to take a horizontal
direction of growth.
It must not be thought that a tree
with a short trunk is; necessarily
low -headed, and, contrariwise, it
crust not be imagined that a tree
with a long trunk is necessarily
high -headed, It is ,possible, in
the first. case, to keep the lower
branches of ' the' head' cut away,.
and to form in that manner, atree
the lowest bearing branches of
which may be several ;'reset from
the ground. On the other hand,aa
is possible, in the case oft a trees
with a long trunk to give the bran-
ches a downward direction ,i of
growth and, to make a tree the bear
ing branches of which may reach
nearly or quite to'the ground. Se
far as convenience in handling alone
is concerned the ideal form of head
is broad and 'flat topped. Such "a
head is much more easily construct-
ed on a short trunk than a high one
Many or our peach tgrow,ers dare
growing 'trees with trunks scarcely
more than a loot in 'height, and
many of our apple growers are
adopting the. low -heading idea in
greater or less degree. 1n the
West, apple orchards are headed''as
low as fifteen inches. The Prop-
er method of forming, a broad,
low head on a short trunk will be
described in detail in a succeeding
article, and need slot be more de-
finitely menkiomed here.
For the sake, of convenience in
handling, it is also necessary, In
some cases, to head back the bran-
ches of closely -planted trees. Itis
not, of course, desirable to plant
trees so closely that the branches'
will interlace, but correct pruning
will in many .cases obviate the ne-
cessity of cutting out; any trees.
Another reason for modifying
the natural form of a treeis that
in some cases greater mechanical
strength can be secuited. Serious
injury frequently results from al-
lowing branches to come off from
the trunk in such a' manner as to
form a fork. Branches should

leaveerna
angle, if possible, and it is des:a•-
able, as well to have Ibsen spaced
at least two or three inches apart
on the main -trunk.
There are two general types of
trees, one being kr:own as the open
centre or s ase -form, and the other
as the central -leader type. As a
rule, trees of thio latter style suf-
fer less from the buealcing down of
branches than do trees of the op-
en -centre (type We might have
stated in a preceding paragraph
that vase -formed' trees are broad-
er and permit of the construction
of a wider and lower head. We
can certainly state here, however,
that the trees of this form are
open to serious objection on . the
score of mechanical strength. It is
much more difficult to secure a
proper distribution of the main
branches up and down the trunk
in the case of the opas-centred
tree; and if the pruning is con-
tinuously aimed towards the pro-
duction of trees' of the open -cen-
tred habit, it is even more diff!cult
to keep the scaffold branches in
their proper place. It is probable
that artificial support will be found
necessary when the extreme type
of this tree is adopted, owing o
the fact that, after having beep
borne down by the weight of a
fruit crop, they 'seldom regain their
normal position if left to trent-
selves,
A •sGoond point in which trees
maybe so formed as to give ad-
ditional strength is with regardto
the number of main ,branches they
are allowed to spring 'from the
trunk, they are 'necessarily crowd-
ed, and therefore slender and in-
capable of bearing heavy ;weight.
It is better tco &tart with a small
number—from three to five—and
by heading these back, cause then
to branch out, until the requisite
number is secured.. Stouter and
stronger branches can be 'develop-
ed in this way,
A third reason for modifying the
form of trees is in order that the+
maximum area of bearing surface
may be developed. Some varieties
naturally produce very few branch
es, and grow, conseqquently, with
very open heads. Additional bear
ing area may be secured in such
cases by heading back the breech-
es at the proper 'stage, in order to
increase their number, thereby el
ling up the head of the tree to the
desired extent. On the outer hand
a good many varitiies produce so
many branches that it becomes ne-
cessary to reduce their number in
order to admit light tp the centre
of the tree in sufficient quantities
to insure the .dev;elo' pent of fruit
buds. Well-developed leaves are
of
nccessar for The production
well developed 'fruibuds; and it
is a. matter of common observation
that the development of leaves de-
pends very largely -upon light con-
ditions.

ed towards the wind, instead , of
away from it, If this Imattler is
disregarded, trees become- unsy-
metrical in shape and considerable
areas of bearing surface may be
lost.
Various reasons for pruning have
been given from time .to time; and
numerous ,attempts have been
made to express in, concise 'form all
the reasons there 'may bo for the
pruning of trees and plants. If we
accept the dictionary definition of
a principle; "A law comprehending
many subordinate truths; a law on
wlrfch others are ,founded, or from.
which others are derived," then it
seems possible to express l±e fund-
amental principles of pruning 'lb
These three statements,
1. We prune to modify the form
of trees and plants.
2 Weprune toregulate (lepers,
at least) the produeteon of fruit.
3. We prune to improve the qual
ity of fruit.
I am quite aware that, in under-
taking to present an article on the
subject of pruning, I am expected
by the majority of readers to deal
with the matter in a purelytechni
cal way. Most fruit growers wish
to know how to prune and when to
prune. Comparatively few men aro
interested tin learning why we
Prune, but it seems torno that a
man of intelligence who tender -
stands the fundamental reasons for
pruning, will be much more capable
of carrying out the technical part)
of this work than• a man who under
etand's nothing more than whattto
do and when to do it. The necess-
ity of.' undlnestanding th.e ;reasons
for doing a thing in a certain way
lies in the 'fact thank one is being
continually confronted by new pro
blems. One who does not under-
stand the fundamental principles
which underlie the operation is 'en-
tirely at a loss in regard to 'find-
ing for himself a'solution ofa new
problem, whereas one who compre-
hends the•underlying reason will
be able to invent for .himself a
satisfactory method.
In this article we shall deal with
the form of trees, leaving the oth-
er phases :of pruning to be ,consid-
ered in succeeding issues. We may
state that' the natural form of the
tree may be modi(fieel for the pur
pose of se_uring greater conveni-
ence in handling, it requires no
demonstration in order lto make
plain the fact that: a trete
with a low head is easier to prune

head of a tree close to the ground.
is simply a matter of saving deniers
and cents in carrying on these oper
atone. The majority of trees in
Ontario are headed at from three
to five feet in height. This may be
quite satisfactory from the stand-
point of the farmer who Noes not
