Following is a e u:ulary of restate: (1) The heavy dormant pruned trees have made much less growth as indicated by the diameter of the trunk and spread of branches than either the unpruned or , ummer pruned trees. leoreoser, the summer pruned and unpruned ri'ers have been bearing fruit since 1915, which would lessen their ability to make new growth. Their real gain over the heavily pruned trees is, there- fore, greater than the actual meas- urements would indicate. (2) The dormant pruned trees have been much later In corning into bearing, producing in 1915 only three pounds of fruit for the whole block, as against 127.7 pounds for the surniner pruned block, and 209.4 pounds for the unpruned block. With the season of 1919 and those intervening between 1915 and 1919, the ratio has been practically the sante. heavily dormant pruned trees have barely started to bear as yet, while the summer pruned and unpruned trees have increased In productiveness each season. (3) The summer pruned trees (probably equivalent In effect to light dormant pruning) have made considerably more growth than the heavily pruned trees and have prac- tically held their own with, the un- pruned trees except in the case of the Greening variety where the unpruned trees have out -distanced the summer pruned trees. (4) lenpruned trees have made more growth than either of the other two systems, though very little more than the summer pruned trees. They are also continuing to outyield the other systems of pruning. These unpruned trees; however, as a whole are becoming very dense, increasing very materially the difficulty and cost of spraying, picking, etc. There are indications also that the fruit/is falling oft In color due to the dense growth. From the above, therefore, it is evident that the lighter the pruning the greater the growth, the earlier the tree comes into bearing, and the heavier the yield during the early period of the tree's life at lea -et. But although the unpruned trees have made -the greatest gains to date, the lightly summer pruned treat are very little, if any, behind, especially when the increased cost of spraying, picking, growing lack of color, and the general undesirable condlUon of the tree far future crops are con- sidered,. To redeem such 'an un- pruned orchard would necessarily re- tard its crops for a period and thus the earlier gains from no priming would be lost. Lightannual pruning Just snmctent to retain the proper shape of the tree to allow sunlight. and air to get through and to keep out all crossed and broken branches seems, there- fore, to be the proper method to -pur- sue for the young orchard until It comes into bearing. After bearing age -is reaeh'ed, pruning will likely have to be more severe so as to maintain a proper supply of new wood each year, What constitutes severity of pruning will, of course/ vary with the variety. -E.

ARO HEADACHES I particular breed, Holstein cattle are celebrated as milk ' producerti; B-efhehire 'loge are widely bred as economical pork pro- ducers; but all Holstein and all Berk- shires are not what they should be. Some are virtually worthless. The same idea applies to poultry. It's the ` individual that counts. In breeding- for hes egg pro- duction, which is the p amount issue with •commercial poultrymen, it is es- sential,for theca to know• the individu- al performance of each hen. A sur- mise will not answer. Appearances count"for a great deal, but they are not positive. It is not enough to know that the flock was reliably bred; It does not follow that because a certain pen of birds laid prolifically their off- spring will lay equally well, 'genera - .tion after generation. The perform- ance of the offspring must be found out, ,specifically. The only way to gain a positive in- dex as to the worth of each bird is via the trapnest, the value of which has increased enormously in the last de- cade, just as the Babcock tester has been the means of improving dairy herds. In addition to furnishing records of the laying ability of each hen, the trapnest is a source of information on other matters of vital importance to the, poultry keeper. For instance, the trapnest makes it possible to ascer- tain weieh hen lay the best -shaped eggs, which the largest sized. which the strongest in pointof fertility, which ;Ire the best winter layers, whie}I pullets begin early and lay the greatest number of eggs in succes- sion, the number of tines they be- c'une broody and those that lay defec- tive oggs such as blood clots and body -boated eggs, for these defect, are often chronic with a few individ- unls. One may think of what value is it to know which I:ens Icys the best - seeped eggs. Simply this: Quantity al me is not the only aim of the :e.tical pool trs ret ap. lie is ,after quality too. Shall, irregular and ensshaprd cern do not fetch top prices. Prime eggs, those that Meng fence prices with a fastidious trade, sheul l be uniform as to size, shape, color and texture of shell. One may ask, of what consequence is it to know which hens become broody Jost this: Broody hens do not lay while they are bruodv, and they are troublesome to discourage. C)hvint•'!v the more tints' a hen be- come; broody the more tremble she is to bee keeper and the greater the danger of a loss in eggs. For it slimile be understood the: charscter- isli.e •- ••`• es broodiness are largely tendency. •+n inherited nc. t e Y It is natural enough for a hen to want to hatch and rear a brood of chicks, hut this instincts been largely eetbred in some t ocks. In other flocks such as the average barn- yard poultry, the instinct remains strong. Like begets like in the animal king- dom, as with the human race, nit al- ways, but generally. Habits and physical qualifications are inherited to a great extent, which is fortunate, in- deed, or we would have difficulty in improving anything, plant life or live- stock. It behooves the poultry man so to nate his breeding pens that they will develop offspring having desirable qualifications, and not having defects. He should aim to produce fowls that lay well. also those that lay perfect eggs of good size. He must choose hens and males, especially the latter, with the view to improving each suc- ceeding generation. If not, his enter- prise is a gamble.

BREEDING COUNTS MOST IN F OW LS A correspondent wishes to know which is the best breed of chickens for a backyard flock in the suburbs; some of his neighbors advised him to keep Rhode island Reds. '1 Asthe writer has pointed out before practically speaking, there is no-one best breed of chickens, ''or a small flock for home use the heavier breeds popularly known as the general pur- pose breeds, are to be recommended because they produce both meat and eggs in like production. The lighter breeds, or non -sitting varieties. such as the leghorns and ancones, for strictly commercial purposes. They are not as easily confined as the heav- ier sorts, though a greater number can be kept in a given house. The Rhode Island Red is an Amer- ican breed and belongs to the general rurpose class. It has given very sat- isfactory results as a winter layer, and has won at many of the egg -lay- ing contests; the chicks are sturdy and easy to rear; the breed is good- looking; its stands confinement well, and the flesh is highly esteemed for table purposes. Rhode Island Reds are on a par with Wyandottes and Plymouth Rocks. The writer's choice of these three va- rieties would depend upon his tastein the matter of color of plumage. In all other ways they are considened about equal. The plumage ,of the. Rhode Island Red or the Barred Plmouth Rock will not become soiled as readily as the white birds, and this is somewhat of a consideration when the owner of a backyard flock wishes to have his birds look attractive; but, on the other hand, the White Wyandotte or White Rock in easier to breed true to color, being a solid color. In securing stock of any kind, how- ever, the main point to consider is the origin of the birds. By all means buy a reliable strain -stock from estab- lished yards, where the fowls have been systematically bred for high'pro- duction and stamina.

And defi- nite knowledge is impossible without the use of the trapnest. To install s trapnest system, re- quires a small investment, of course, and to operate it takes time and labor, which constitute an expense; but if the system improves the flock for the next generation and for suc- ceeding generations, it means in- creased revenue. This increase rev- enue should soon repay the amount of the original investment. There are many kinds of trapnests on the market and in use. Some are patented, others can be had for the making. If the poultryman is mechanically inclined it will pay him to make his own nests, which he can adapt to given housing conditions. If the job calls for a great' many nests i' will pay to have the various parts cut out in a mill by machinery, be- cause this cutting represents the greater part of the work. The task of assembling the parts is a simple one. In selecting a trapnest bear in mind the following points: Primarily, a good nest must not only imprison the hen that enters to lay, but it motet refuse entrance to all others until a record of the $ret performer has been secured. It should offer an inviting, quiet, comfortable retreat for the occupant, care being taken that the locking device is not so 'violent in its actions as en engender fright. When closed the interior of the nest, especially in the summer time, should not be suffocatingly warm, or the hens will suffer, and this will im- pair their laying. Provision mush be made for plenty of ventilation. The nest should be readily accessible, convenient for the attendant to open and remove the hen, and with no in- tricate parts -to become dislodged and out of order, or consume unnecessary time in resetting the trigger or door.
