This article is attached to a pole, and operates by means of a lever moved by a cord and pulley; its use is to enable a person standing on the ground to prune trees, some of the branches of which could not, perhaps, be pruned by any other process. Branches of one inch in diameter may be easily cut off with this instrument. Avarrancators of small size are also very useful in cutting off from shade and fruit-trees small branches to which insects have attached themselves;.
