MANY DEFINED PRINCIPLES
IN PRUNING FRUIT TREES
Should be Adapted to Different Varieties In Fnrmlnjj Top
of Tr Several Distinct Systems Are
Practiced.
my n. v fisher
It Is known that heuvy prttulng of
the tops of fruit trees in winter or
luring the dormant period hns a tend
ency to produce wood growth, or
cause the trees to g ow larger. This
lis due to the fact that when pruning
Is done when the tree Is dormant the
plant food which Is taken up by the
roots early In the spring Is concen
trated Into a smaller portion of the
top and results in the very rapid
ivowth of the pcrts It ft. Weak trees
ire often forced into vigorous growth
by heavy top pruning which is done
in the winter or early spring.
When vigorous plants are given a
heavy winter prur.lrg water sprouts
are often produced, because there is
more plant food sent up from Ue
roots than the top area can use. re
sulting In the growth of dormant la
teral buds.
Heavy pruning of the top In the
summer or when the tree Is in an
active state of growth has a tendency
' to check the wood growth, causes fruit
buds to form and sometimes results
In the growth of water sprouts. The
wood growth is checked because when
pruning Is done when the leaves are
performing their function of assimi
lating plant food a large portion of
the area which is making plant food
' is removed and the supply of pro-
pared plant food Is checked, thus
causing a decrease of growth over the
whole tree.
Heavy root pruning checks the
growth of wood by cutting off the
supply of moisture and crude plant
food. This results in an increasing
iber of fruit buds. In sections of

The shape, however, should bi largely
determined by the natural character
istics of the tree. Uiw headed trees
produce the b st results In many lo
calities. They are she to stand heavy
winds without Injury, the fruit Is near
er the ground and makes harvesting
a crop anil all o, chard work much
easier, and the tpinks are not so like
ly to be Injured by san scald.
If one year old trees are set out. the
pruning the first year will consist In
cutting the top back to within eight
ecu or twenty-four Inches of the
ground. The cut should be made Just
above a sttong bud. Dur ng the first
season three or four branches should
be permitted to grow; tha other
rubbed off soon after the buds ex
pand. In the spring of the second year, If
more than three, or four branches
grew during tho first bummer, tbey

should be cut out, making the cut
near the main stem and parallel to
It. The remaining branches should be
cut back to within throe or four buds
of the main stem, making the cut Just
above a strong bud.
In the spring of the third year all
but three or four branches are cut
out. Including the terminal branch,
and the others are cut back to within
three or four buds o flhe stem from
which they grow, the idea being to
produce three or four well developed
and well situated twigs on each
branch each year, and having the
branches so placed that the tree will
grow into a symmetrical form and be
open enough so that the sunlight ran
get Into the center of the tree, thus
adding much to the color of the fruit.
Jly cutting each season's growth back
to within a few buds of the last sea
son's growth the tree Is made to grow
much stockier than it otherwise
would.
The pruning after the third year
is very similar to that given In the
third year. Three or four twigs are
selected on each growth, the others
cut out, and the remaining twigs cut
back. All cross limbs or limbs that
are too close together, or that rub
together should be cut out
GROWING HERBS
IS ESSENTIAL
Nothing Can Quite Take Thei
Place in Household-Seeds of
Annual Sort Should ba
Sown Karly.
OFiy R. O. WEATHEltSTONE.)
No garden can be considered com
plete that does not Include a goodly
variety of herbs, for nothing ran quite
fill their place in the household.
The seeds of annual sorts should be
sown early, but of the perennial var
ieties (and many of the best are that)
the seeds sown In mid-summer will
produce strong plants that may be
freely cut from the following year.
.Make the soil rich, mellow and fine
before sowing the seed. When the
seedilng plants are large enough they
may be transplanted to the border
beds, or the fence-row where they can
grow undisturbed year ater year.
When the roots become large they
may be divided and new plants start
ed If more are wanted, though two or
three plants of one variety will fur
nish all a good sized family will need,
as the leaves should be cut several
times during the season.
The leaves should be cut when ful
ly grown and before the plant blooms,
choosing a clear, dry day for ihe work.
Spread In a cool, shady room to dry,
as drying In the sun or by the Are
spoils both color and flavor.
When thoroughly dry powder the
leaves by rubbing between the hands
and store away In tight cans or boxes,

It Is certain tha: it becomes more

I notice, already. In the show rooms
3f our leading dresemukers a tendency
towards a revival of the rllngln "fus

past year we have h:id with us ex
tremely clinging gowns of supple sut

Now, our dres autocrats are

And I have no docbt that we shall
tee a revival of elaborate lingerie
Iressej this coming sumtnr Last
rear we were wearing linen and ttiRsor
'oats and skirts on all occasions but
in the summer of 1911 we shall have
the opportunity of wearing those de
'Ightful but costly arrangements of
Ino muslin and cobweb lace which
were dar to the learts of our great
grandmothers. In Velvet and Velveteen.
Velvet" and velveteen are still the
'jvorlto materials for spring suits, and
the most magnificent silk braids are
freely used In conjunction with them.
A lovely I'aquln model slowed a
ikimpy skirt of black velvet with
some wldo, thick, biiick silk braid ar
ranged In lines from walttt to knees.
At one side the leng'h.i of braid were
finished off with handsome ornaments
Df braid and silk cords, and the coat,
which was rather long, was covered
with braid over the bunt and shoul
Jers. The skirt was short walsled and
was buttoned up on a tight corsage of
royal blue peau de solo, and the silk
corsage was finished off at the neck
with a dainty little chemisette of put
ty-colored Venetian guipure. It was
sn exceedingly attractive suit and
lust tho thing for the months of Feb
ruary and March. It was smart enough
for visiting purposes or even for a
wedding, but the design was so sim
ple that the costume might have been
worn In the street without attracting
undue attention.
Some of the new illk brnlds for
tailored suits are 12 and 14 Inches
wide and they are made of the richest
llk. Navy blue serges anil cloths
look admirable when trimmed with
these splendid braids and with hand
some buttons or enamel set In sliver
or In Jet.
Several of our leading dressmakers
assert that the waist line Is going up
still higher, and It Is certain tl.nt one
does see the exaggeratedly short waist
line on many of the latest models, but
on the other hand a number of our so
ciety leaders In 1'aris have remained
faithful to tho becoming waist lino
which Is neither high nor low.
Refuse to Follow Fashion.
There are always women to be
found, and of nil nations, who will
slavishly follow tie very latest din
tates of tho autocrats of fashion, but
on the other hand we sometimes find
women, most frequently among the ex
elusive Parlnlrtines, who are a law
unto themselves, even In matters of
dress. These women accept the sug
gestions of their dressmakers ar,d
tailors when these suggestions fall In
with their own Ideas and tastes, with
the result that special and Individual
fashions are created which bring as
much credit to the wearer as to the
designer.
Tha moderate waist line is undoubt
edly flattering to the figure. It Is, as I
have f' hr bh nor low; It

A model by lleboux Is one of the
very newest shape. It Is made of
black crln and tie wide brim Is turn

those In black, theso shoes are si
most ubiquitous and now that the
weather Is gradually becoming spring
like we find velvet shoes In such
shades as vlelet, bottle green, nut
brown and gray very generally worn
In the street. I he velvet shoes mar
be said to be do rlgueur with a velvet
costume, but with a suit of inv other
material the shoe, which very often
matches the dress In color. Is of dull
suede or of soft kid.
With spring and summer suits this
Itlea of having the shoes to match the
costume Is an admirable one; delight
ful effects are obtained with white or
pale pastel tints.
Many women of fashion have adopt
ed velvet shoes for evening wear, but
I do not think the Idea a good one;
In thn first place because, as I have
already said, such shoes make the feet
look unnaturally' large, and In the sec
ond place because either satin or fine
glove kid would seem to be a more
suitable accompaniment for evening
frocks of thin material.
