and inside. The taking out of the top
allows more strength to concentrate
in the lower sides and they become
rich and strong to the ground, so that
they not only produce more fruit, but
afford their crop more protection by
dense side foliage. Thus an increase
in both quantity and quality of fruit is
effected. But this is still further aug
mented by the crop grown inside.
This inside crop is as well very su
perior fruit for packing as it is pro
tected from the wind, and as well there
is always a sufficient thin foliage swim
ming over the inside rim of the cup
to protect from sunburn. In such
pruning only the saw is required, and
care must be exercised to cut all limbs
fully back to the eye, and no limbs
should be nipped or cut on any part
of its length or between buds, as In
such ease it will either die back or
sprout like a broom. This method of
pruning is not expensive, and can be
done very quickly by anyone who can
handle a saw properly. It cannot be
done periodically every few years, but
each year the trees should be gone
over. The first year it will be found
that but one, two or three limbs can
be profitably and safely removed.
The next year another limb or two
can be removed, until the proper inside
shape and healthy fruiting wood is
produced. The increase both in quan
tity and quality of the crop will more
than offset the seeming loss of crop
suggested by removing the central
limbs reachin. up into the top.
REASON FOR SECRET PRAYER
The late Bishop Hare, of South Da
kota, often in his sermons brought out
a point with an apt story, says the
Louisville Times.
"These religious and unscrupulous
financiers,", he said In a winter dis
course in Deadwood, "remind me of a
little Philadelphia girl I know.
"This little girl insisted, at bedtime,
on saving her prayers by herself. «he
was allowed to do so. Later iter mother
asked her why she had demanded this
right of private prayer. For a long
time the little girl refused to answer,
but finally, after much coaxing, she
said:
"'i 'jes' wanted to give fanks for
bein' 'lowed to steal some Christmas
fruit cake.' "

THE SENTIMENT OF GARDENS
PUBLIC gardens, like public parks,
may be beautiful and useful, but
they are ever public gardens; it
is the private gardens, the green places
dedicated to thought and affection,
which alone are lovable and which
make home possible even amid the
crowded streets.
A home garden may be a tiny plot
of ground fenced in by a hedge or it
may be a stately garden walled in by
great terraces, but it must be ours
alone to wander in, to cherish and to
love. Thoreau, Wordsworth, Bryant or
any of our great writers of flowers and
trees did not find pleasure in public
gardens, no matter how grand they
might be. It was the small garden or
the single flower which appealed to
them. Disraeli, whose love for flowers
surprised those who only recognized
the brilliant intellect of the man, loved
the sweet smelling, what we now know
as the old-fashioned kind of flowers.
Herrlck cherished the homely, kindly,
hardy things of which we heir little
these days. In fact, the poets of Eng
land wrote much of the musk plants,
the sweet smelling thyme, the clove
pinks, the lavender, the moss rose and
the mignonette.
It was in these old-fashioned gardens
that Shakespeare. Wordsworth and
Ben Jonson gathered their posies.
A love of flowers shows a delicacy of
sentiment for other things. It would
be difficult for one to love a rose and
not the lark.
Children should never be allowed to
pick (lowers, even in the fields, merely
to throw away. They should be taught
early a reverence for the beauty of the
flower and to care for them tenderly.
It gives a valuable moral lesson and
leads to a taste and feeling which will
give many glad hours later. Children
all take a delight In gardening; make
this an intelligent delight.
AMONG THE FLOWERS

following list:
1. A sorrowful young wife.
2. A little darling.
