Pruning-Young Apple Trees
and-Huriting the Borer„
A,correspondent says: I do not:
agree with those fellows who think
they can do all their pruning with
the thuntb_and finger. Not by any
means : One:might live in an orch
ard, it is true—and watch every burl,
hut then -you have the disadvantage
of being tied to a tree and not know -
inf.; -which way a bud will push or
.whether it 'will cross another wiliert
growing. I prefer a sharp knife and
saw , and prefer to let the young
shoots grow one season (not as an
invariable rifle, however,) and then
I can easily tell which to save and:
hich to remove,. I alway;; cut back
when transplanting, w halm - 'grafts
ur seedings, and generally let them
grow,as they will the first season ;
fP,rm . the top the second year to suit
me and follow it up frequently, al-
Ways carrying a sharp knife. Dave
done much of the - pruning, this year
early in thesnorning„ before break
.f..st, and tte in the afternoon, be
tween tea and dusk-. Nevertheless,
in an orchard of ont!thousand trees,
the work is immense, and some two
hunched young bearing trees which
need pruning badly will pave to go
over until after haying. In hunting
for the apple tree borer, !always use
a sharp jackknife and cwt piece of
hoopAdrt • wire. Never fail to de
stroy them. 14 is the only safe and
effectual way, - hatever is , isaid to
the contrary. The more' closely I
follow them the less thvy Increase,
.each year. Where the trees were .
'examined twice last, year, the work
of ; ex..tnination was verry light. this
ye rr, ..nd I 'did nett find 'more than
tWo out 'of one hundred trees affect
ed by the 'borer. This, great pest
might be entirely eradicated in-a few
ye-rs by a little painstaking, if every
orch,,rdi;tlw6uld only t..ke hold of .
the work earnestly.
