How to Manage Cuttings.

In selecting cutting a great deal de-
ponds upon ajudicious CHOICE; if the slip
is too young and too full of fresh sap, it
will fade away from too much evapora-
ton; and if it is too old. e., hard and
woody-it will take great while to strike
root You must take a cutting that is
partly ripened, and is from vigorous
Shoot, yet is little hardened at the base.
1t is also essential to have bud or joint
at or near the end of the cutting, as all
roots strike from it, and the nearer it is to
the base the greater your chance OF sue
cess.
Plant your cuttings in common red pots,
filled half-full of rich loan and two inches
of sand on the top securing sand will do,
but not sea sand), wet this thoroughly, and
put the cuttings close around the edge of
the pot; for if the bud joint comes in con
tact with the surface OF the pot, it
seems to strike root more quickly. Pun off
the lower leaves before you plant the cut
ting. Press the wet sand tightly aboutthe
tiny stem, for great deal of your success.
in raising the cuttings depends upon the
close contact of the sand with the stem.
Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1873-05-09

the possibility of such thing, but subse-
quently admitted that the ring was given
to him by a thief only day or two previ-
Gus. The gentleman thereupon gave the
detective one week to recover the rest of
the property, and within that time it was
delivered to him in sealed express pack
age marked Philadelphia. Of course the
thief was not arrested.
Two remarkable cases of theft have
been developed recently in New Haven
and Portland. In the former city, an un-
fortunate man named De Wolf was actu-
ally brought before the Police Court for
stealing an umbrella! Worse than this,
he was punished, thus establishing the
dangerous precedent that umbrellas are
personal property, and disturbing the
time-honored custom which has allowed
the appropriation of the umbrella wher-
ever found. Mr.. De Wolf, being the first
martyr to this absurd, not to say mon
strous, proposition, should carry the case
up to the United States Supreme Court. 1t
is question in which the whole people
are interested. The second instance of
theft is of a graver kind. An undertaken
at Portland has advertised for coffin
stolen from his shop, and offers to trim
and line it for the use of the thief, and en-
grave his name upon handsome silver
plate, if he will only return it. Such acts
of generosity are rare nowadays.
