an injury. Experiment has shown a diminished growth 
in the part of a tree not movel by the wind, an1 that 
wind-breaks are very desirable to prevent excessive sweeps 
of winds and storms. 
STRAIGHTENING LEANING TrReEES.—Trees in an or- 
chard are often seen out of an erect position, which may 
arise from winds or other causes. In all such cases it 
will add to beauty and the convenience of culture to 
straighten up the leaning trees. Tis is easily done by 
setting a stake a little distance from the tree, an1 then 
fastening the tree to it with a wire or cord, thus securing 
it in a perpendicular position during the growing season. 
I have found a single year’s growth in the desire. posi-

to do this when trees are quite small; or, if large, when 
blown over, without delay.
