INTELLIGENT PRUNING QUITE ESSENTIAL

WOUNDS Of HORSES
these shoots are allowed to grow the
first season In order to make the trunk
more stocky and are not thinned out
until the following spring. At the age
of two years, these five brunches are
cut back to about one-half of the
growth. On these five limbs that have
been cut back live new shoots should
be allowed to grow distributed around
the stem at equal distances.
This same system of pruning is con-
tinued on the tree at three years of
age.

seem an open hend when young may
prove, when the tree is older, to be
too dense and crowded, the branches
too closely formed together for con-
venience iu getting around in gather-
ing and thinning the fruit or giving
the necessary pruning.
During early springtime, or even late
winter, for the convenience when the
wood Is not frozen, each year every
tree should be carefully looked over
and branches which are likely to in-
terfere with the adjoining ones should
be cut out and the centers of the dense
no break or laceration of the skin.
Lacerated wounds, however, are, as a
rule, also contused—the surrounding
tissues are bruised to a greater or
lesser extent. While at first sight such
wounds may not appear to be as seri-
ous us incised wounds, they are com-
monly very much more so. Lacera-
tions and contusions, when extensive,
are always to be regarded as danger-
ous. Many horses die from septic in-
fection or mortification as a result
of these injuries. Iu severe contusions

In wounds thnt are lacerated the
unount of hemorrhage generally is in-
considerable; even very large blood
vessels may be torn apart without
causing a fatal result. The edges of
the wound are rugged and uneven.
These wouuds are produced by barbed

the corners of buildings, or when he is
struck by the pole or shafts of another

CULTIVATION PLANS
FOR ORCHARDS VARY
Overhead Expenses Placed at $7 Local Conditions Have Much to
Do in Determining Which
Method Is Practicable.
Cultivation methods for orchards
vary greatly, aud local conditions have
so much to do In determining which is
best and most profitable for any given
locality that no hard and fast rule can
be established. The object of orchard
cultivation is to conserve moisture and
plant food and aerate the soil. About
fifteen years ago the Missouri stale
'ruit experiment station undertook a
series of experiments to determine the
best method of iTchurd cultivation.
Five systems were established. One
plat was planted to cowpeas In the
spring. The pens were harvested aud

Operating expenses for the average

Bruises.
Bruises are nothing but contused
{rounds where the skin has not been

solution of continuity of the parts un-
icr the skin, subcutaneous hemorrhage,

and slough of the bruised parts. If
he brui>e or contusion is not so se-
rere, many cases are cured quickly by
.onstant fomentation with hot water
or from two to four hours. The wa-
ter should be allowed about this time
o become cool gradually and then
"•old. Cold fomentation must then be
;ept up for another hour or two. The
parts should be dried thoroughly and
quickly and bathed freely with cam-
phor one ounce, sweet oil eight ounces,
or with equal parts of lead water and
laudanum. A dry. light bandage
should then be applied, the horse al-
lowed to rest, and If necessary the
treatment may be repented each day
for two or three days. If. however,
the wound ls so severe that sloughing
must ensue, It should be encouraged
by poultices made of linseed meal,
wheat bran, turnips, onions, bread and
milk, or hops. Sprinkle charcoal over
the surface of the poultice when the
wound Is bad smelling. After the
