Grating Fruit Trees.

On many grounds are large old speci-
mems OF apple, cherry, pear, or other
trees, either wild or of inferior kinds,
| which, a few hours spent in grating,
would IN a very few years afford an
abundance of delicious fruit, instead of
now encumbering the ground to no pur-
pose whatever.
1t Is Il very easy matter to graft, and
does not require near the amount of skill
many people suppose it does. Failures
generally occur from using scions of low
vitality or from operating too soon. OF
| course, most of our readers know that
scion is the name given to the parts we
wish to use on the tree to be grated, while
the tree to be grfted is the stock The
| scions should be as vigorous as they can
| be obtained, and preserved from shrink
| ing by being buried in the ground, all but
| a few inches of the tops Trees to be
| grated may be cut back so that it is but
| a series OF stumps about one, two or three
| inches in diameter. These are split to
receive the sciOns, but care must be taken
in making the slit, that the cut down by
| the bark on the outside is regular and
| smooth For this purpose it is best to
push knife an eighth or quarter of an
inch into the stock about three inches be
low NuClt II Is cut Oh, anu tIdN 1t up ~
this; then the stock may be split with the
chisel so as to preserve this clean outside
face. 1t is no matter how rough the
inside or central portion Of the stock
may be, but the outside face must be regu-
lar. The scion must then be made wedge
shaped also with regular clean and plain
pair of edges so as to fit to a nicely the
split in the stock. If this is nicely done
scion would almost grow without any
tying or waxing; but to make matters safe
it is usual and best to tie the split parts
together, and then to tie around clay, or
wax, or anything of this nature which will
check the evaporation from the slit parts.
The two outside edges or barks must be
made to come nearly level on their faces,
SO that the bark Of the scion and stock
meet exactly by their edges.
To have the greatest success in grating
it should not be done until the tree to be
grated is just pushing into leaf; but the
scions for grating must be cut off several
weeks before this. Trees may then be
grated almOst up to midsummer, long
after stocks or trees to be grated have
pushed into leaf. Indeed, we believe that
grating is more certain after the tree has
pushed into the leaf than before, provided
the gratis are very strong, have been cut
| early, and the trees to be grated are in
tolerably vigorous health. 1t does not
pay to work with either poor scions or
halfdead stocks.-Forney's Weehly Press.

Spring in the CieaTIngs.

In newly cleared regions of country, spring is
always unhealthy season. The virgin soil en-
riched by decomposed vegetable matter, sends up,
when first barred 10 the sunshine, volumes OF
miasmatc vapor that generates every variety of in
termittent and remittent fever. All low lying,
swampy districts the deltas Of rivers, the prairies
the salt-marshes on the coast, the bayOUs of the
Gulf States, and the shores of the northern lakes
are also visited at this season by malarious cpl
denies that PROSTATE no inconsiderabe number of
their inhabitants. This ought not to be- for it can
easily be prevented. No fact in medical history is
better established than the fact that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters will avert every species of malari
disorder. A course Of this standard tonic and
Alternative commenced in advance of the unhealthy
and continued regularly until its close will
prove absolute protection against chils and
fever, bilious remtient fever and other complaints
of periodical type. well against the dis
turbances in the digestive organs and bowels SO
common at this period of the year. As remedy

plant whole potatoes in order to secure
good results as it was to plant whole seed
| of any kind If potato was in fact a
single seed, then their argument might
hold good; but it is not, any more than
branch of a tree or an ear OF corn, and
who would think of planting either OF
| these wholes Now, potato tuber is mere
| ly a subterranean branch with stem-bear
ing eyes or buds upon its surface, just as
we find them upon the branch OF pear.
apple or other tree. Ii a man takes clon
from pear tree, he does not think that
the longer it is or the more buds it has upon
its surface the better, but he cuts 1t
up into sections each containing only two
or three buds, because experience has
shown that a few buds, or a short clon is
better than a long one. If we carefully ex-
anime a potato we fine that it corresponds
very closely to a one-year-old branch OF
tree, and each bud, with a small piece of
the tuber attached is capable, under proper
conditions, of producing plant the
same as the cion which we insert into an
other branch or stem. If whole potato
is planted containing from twenty to fifty
buds, only very small number push into
growth; for a few of the stronger suppress
or destroy the weaker. 1t is often claimed
tnat tuc substance OF lne Olu tuOer Is
taken up by, and aids the growth of the
buds and new stems. This is true, but
only to a very limited extent, for as soon
as the buds have pushed a half inch or
inch, new feeding roots will be found
their base, showing that the new plant
provides for self-support very early in life.
We need not offer any better argument
in favor of cutting up potatoes for seed
than the results of the thousands of exper-
iments made during the past few years
with new and costly varieties, where
every tuber was divided into as many
pieces as it contained buds No deterio-
ration from this cause has ever been de
tected and to speak from a personal ex-
perience of more than a quarter of cen
fury, we are convinced that cutting up
seed potatoes into small pieces is not only
the most economical system, but the one
to produce the best results. Seed potatoes
are never so cheap that it will not pay the
farmer to cut them, putting no greater
number in each hill or drill than if each
piece was whole tuber If there are any
of our readers who have never tried the
two systems side by side, let them expert
ment this season and determine whether
we are right or not-N. Y Sun.

ASK for Prussing's Cider Vinegar and take
no other. Warranted to Preserve Pickles

THE POIsON MONGERs who advertise COM
pounds of Fluid Fire and pungent alkalies
as "balsamic medicines, safe and harm
less tonics," and genial invigorants," are
worthy of being classed with the old Bar
negat wreckers who kindled deceptive bea-
cons, in order to decoy mariners to newt
able death. But a time came when the lures
of the coast bandits failed and time has
come when the vendors of FILTERED Alcohol
fail to impress the readin. public with a
belief in their fiCtiOns.
1t is due to that conscientious and able
physician, Dr. Joseph Walker, of Califor-
MIA, to say that he has largely contributed
to this desirable end, by providing the
world with a Tonic Corrective and Anti
Febrile Vegetable preparation, which ac-
complishes all that is mendaciously prom
ised on behalf of the alcoholic noStrums.
His CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BrTTERs pre-
pared from botanic productions, now for
the first time employed in the pharmacy
of civilization, is the leading tonic in
every State and Territory in the Union
The fact that this wonderful elixir con-
tains no alcohol, no mineral no danger
Gus element, is one of the causes of its
immense popularity; another is that as a
stomachic invigorant blood-purifier. al
terative, anti-spasmodic and ambitious
medicine, it is as far ahead of every other
preparation as Temperance is ahead of
Drunkenness.

Governor Hendricks.

1t is not probable that Governor Hen
bricks of Indiana, is really the ninny he
describes himself To be, when he SAYS he
believes a large majority of the people
desire change in the Administration of
the National Government. Five months
ago large majority of the people ex-
pressed, in the legal and constitutional
way, their desire and determination that
there should be no change in the next four
years. Nothing has since occurred to
show that their minds have been changed
ON this subject: nothing indeed, to pro
woke or justify a change. Unless the
Governor believes the people did not know
what they were doing last fall, it is not
easy to see how he can now think they
desire to undo it. He discredits his own
candor and common sense by permitting
himself to indulge in assertions so ridicu-
lous as that we have quoted Let it be un,
derStood, however, in excuse for the Gov
ernor's persistence, that he is candidate
for President himself-Cbicag0P Post.

The Louisiana 1nsurrection.

The difficulties in Louisiana NAV soon
assume such proportions as To demand the
direct and active interference of the Cen.
eral Government to suppress insurrcc-
ton" within its borders. There is an ev-
ident design on the part Of the disatfected
element in the State to make a pretense of
the political troubles existing there to pre-
cipitate revolution. The Immediate pre-.
text is the attempted collection of taxes by
the Kellogg government. 1t is singular
upon what tiimsy excuses men can build
reasons for refusing to pay their legal oh.
legations. The good citizens OF that Mex.
icanized commonwealth do not assume
that the taxes are unusually burdensome
They do not say they are wrongfully as
sessed Nothing of the kind; but they say
that, whereas they voted for McEnery for
Governor, and wanted him elected, and
have been told that he would
have been elected had there
been fair canvass of the votes

Comparisons.

IL the making of sublime stride to a
triumphant conclusion, the Missouri Re
publican has few equals and no superiors.
1t disdains microscopic, or telescope, or
other scopic examination Of any vulgar
facts that may dispute It's march, but, hav-
ing fixed a conquering eye upon the propo-
sitiOn it means to reach, goes for it with a
noble scOrn of mere logical obstacles.
That journal has not forgotten how it once
demolished the Republican party by show
ing the far greater reduction OF the national
debt under Johnson than under Grant, by
grandly refusing to take any account OF
time and comparing the whole term OF
Johnson with a half term of Grant. The
demonstration was stunning till the facts
appeared. The same may be said of the
RepubL5cdn'S exposure, on yesterday, of the
extravaganza of President Grant as com
pared with President Lincoln. Referring
to the Congressional appropriations for
the White House, our forcible contempo-
rary says:
1T Is a fact worthy of being noted, that these
appropriations have been three times large
under President Grant under President Lincoln,
the following table shows"
Then fOllOWs-What? Can the reader
guess: 1t lisa comparison of certain items
of appropriation for Lincoln in 1864 with
certain items of appropriation for Grant
in 1873. Supposing them to comprise all
the appropriations of the kind in the years
named, let us then see how they warrant
the sweeping statement they are cited to
establish. Here is the comparison;
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1873-05-01

How does this bear out our neighbor's
unqualified declaration that " these APP
preparations have been three times as large
under President Grant as under President
Lincoln?"
The truth is, however, that these appro-
priations are not made under one head,
but are found scattered under various
heads through the appropriation bills
and that in one bill various matters will
be separately itemized while in another
bill they will be grouped together The
above list for Lincoln second year does
not include all the items for that year,
and the list for Lincoln in 1864 is also
very incomplete, Again: In the time of
Lincoln a number of clerks did duty at
the White House whose salaries were
not paid out of the White House appro-
priations, but whose salaries have since
been 50 paid. But the absurdity of the
Republicans comparison is sufficiently OBJ
vious.-St. LouiS Globe.
