The testing of cows is very cosily and for this reason many good cows are not developed, therefore this contributes to the scarcity of bulls from record dams and has a tendency to keep l he price for the more desirable herd sires higher. visiting relatives, recently left here If youre an extremist, dont try to prune any fruit trees. No pruning at all Is one extreme; pruning too much is the other. Both are unprofitable, experienced fruit growers will testify. The middle course is best. Young trees thrive on light pruning. Bearing trees require more and more pruning as they get older. In pruning apple trees one aim Is to give all the branches breathing space and sunlight. The lower limbs and spurs wont develop and bear without sunlight. Thin out by pruning the outer and upper portions of the tree, but do not prune to leave large holes that allow direct sunlight to strike large branches and induce sun scald cankers. Confine most of the cutting to small brandies, well distributed, taking out large branches only where crowding exists, or to keep trees from getting too tall. As peach trees come into heavy bearing begin pruning for an open center. Keep tall branches cut back to strong laterals, and where necessary do additional heading back on these laterals. Fruit Is borne on one-yewood; prune to keep a normal amount of vigorous growth well distributed through the trees. WANNING TO STOCKMEN AGAINST DEADLY LOCO (Continued from page 1.) but the probabilities are that it is still to be found only in relatively small, scattered areas. Wherever it does occur, it should be fenced in order to keep the stock from it, says Professor Bercraft and Dr. Fredermade to ick, and an early effort on land eradicate it. If the which it occurs can be plowed, plowing should be deep and thorough. If plowing is not practicable, then grubbing, or, perhaps spraying should be resorted to. This plant does not have an underground like that of the wild morning glory, but it does possess a deep tap root, which enables it to survive more dry weather than many other range plants. root-stoc- To enable stockmen to k, recognize Astragalus Convallarius and as far as possible protect their cattle and sheep against it, the following description of the plant is offered by Professor Becraft: Convallarius is a Astragalus perennial plant with woody root but is tufted and branched from the base, the fine leaves and stems growing four to eight inches high.
