varieties are*sometimes diffi- 
t to train, but even the most ob- 
st Hin ate cases may be brought under 
control if proper methods are fol- 
low ed.” 
In regard to the two distinct 
types of trees, he says: 
“In the pruning of apple trees 
there are two distinct styles or 
ideals, the central-leader type and 
the open-center type, each with its 
corps of adherents. The support- 
ts of the central-leader type claim 
that it is a stronger structure and 
not so likely to be broken down by 
“4g ot and heavy crops of fruit. This 
a strong argument, but it is off- 
se et by many disadvantages. With 
ertain naturally spreading varie- 
ties, like Greening, Tolman Sweet, 
“or Fall Pippin, it works very well, 
be t with the upright growers there 
is a tendency to grow too tall and 
to get out ol reach of the spraying 
apparatus.” 
In regard to the proper time for 
pruning operations, Dr. Jarvis calls 
ee hen to the following facts: 
“Regular annual pruning or 
‘training will give best reseults. A 
' severe ~ pruning once in three or 
four years upsets the equilibrium 
of the tree, and in the long run is 
not economical. As a rule, prun- 
“ing should be done while the tree 
is dormant. Some prefer to prune 
' in the early spring, for the reason. 
that wounds made at this time 
usually heal more readily. If the 
work is started in the fall, it is more 
likely to get the attention that it 
deserves, and when the first suita- 
ble days for spraying arrive the 
- trees will be ready.”

the hostess also received many gifts, 
besides a large shower of birthday 
post cards, which Mrs. Stanwood 
greatly appreciated. Mrs. Stanwood 
is a native of Ipswich and she has a 
twin sister, Mrs. Mary Bennett of

NEW BOOKS. 
ApDED ‘TO MANCHESTER Pusiic Li- 
BRARY THIS WEEK. 
A number of books have been 
added to the Manchester Public 1li- 
brary this week, including essays, his- 
tory, biography and fiction. 
A collection of essays entitled “The 
Inn of Tranquility,’ by John Gals- 
worthy, the author of “The Patrician” 
and other works of fiction, treat of 
life and literature. Booker T. Wash- 
ington, the principal of Tuskegee In- 
stitute spent a well-earned vacation 
in Europe. When there a good deal 
of his time was given to observing the 
conditions of the laboring class in the 
different countries he visited. As a 
result we have his latest work “The 
Man Farthest Down.” It is a very 
interesting description of the condi- 
-tions he found. 
“The Doctor’s Table Talk” by Dr. 
Mumford, a well-known Boston sur- 
geon, is very entertaining reading. In 
it he gives his views of many things 
pertaining to the life of a physician. 
(t reminds one of a book published 
last year, “The Corner’ of Harley 
Street,” which was supposed to be 
written by a physician. Both books 
are well worth reading. 
Those interested in ships and sea 
captains will find much information 
about them in one of the newest vol- 
umes of the “Home University Li- 
brary,” “Master Mariners.” 
Anything written about the life of 
Lincoln is generally read. There is a 
new work, “Personal Traits of Lin- 
coln,” just out. It is written by the 
daughter of one of the men who wrote 
the best life of Lincoln. Her father 
intended to have a chapter on Lin- 
coln’s personal traits in the life by 
Nicolay and Hay, and a collection of 
anecdotes were made to that end. For 
some reason the chapter was not 
written. The above book is gleaned 
from material gathered at that time. 
In this week’s list is a short History 
of Scotland by Andrew Lang, who 
has just died. He was a brilliant 
Scotchman, who wrote on most every 
kind of a subject from fairy tales to 
history. The younger patrons of the 
library will know him as the author 
of “The Blue Fairy Book,” and other 
fairy books of different colors, 
Among the newer English novelists 
no name is better known to us than 
Arnold Bennett the author of “Old 
Wives Tale” and “Clayhanger.” He 
niade a short visit to America recently. 
He wrote for Harper’s Magazine his 
impressions of his American experi- 
ences, They are now published in 
15 
book form under the title “Your 
United States.” It is needless to say 
they are well-written. They are also 
well illustrated, for he brought an 
artist with him. ‘The illustrations add 
much to the value of the book. 
There was a good deal of romance 
mixed up with the hard facts and ex- 
periences of the early republic. Some- 
thing of this romance is told in a 
pleasing manner by Mary Caroline 
Crawford in her new work ‘Roman- 
tic Days in the Early Republic.” She 
is the author of “Old Boston Days 
and Ways.” 
Among the new fiction will be found 
“The Voice,” by Margaret Doland, 
author of “Old Chester Tales,” and 
“The Iron Woman,” and other nov- 
els. In this short story two of the 
characters we found so attractive in 
“Old Chester Tales,” Doctor Igaven- 
der, the old minister, and Doctor 
King, the kind-hearted physician ap- 
pear again. 
Another short story, “Yates Pride,” 
is by Mary Wilkins Freeman. dt is 
the rather pathetic story of the pride 
of a New England maiden lady. It 
makes another addition to that 
author’s large gallery of New Eng- 
land characters. 
The boy scouts will be glad to see 
among the new books “Boy Scouts of 
Berkshire.” 
There is also a very interesting 
novel “The Cry in the Wilderttess” by 
Mary Waller, author of “The Carver 
of Lympus.” It is a story that when 
you have once started you will not 
want to leave until finished. 
We could mention others on the 
list that are just as interesting, but 
space will not permit. Below is 
given the full list:
