P. T. Quinn, in Se,56ner, gives
these predictions for budding
orchard trees:
" The proper time for budding
extends from the middle of July
until the first of September.
Whenever the bark separates
easily from the wood, the buds
may be set with fair chance of
success. The outfit for budding,
consists of some narrow strips
of bass mating, such as comes
on the outside of coffee bags,
and pocket knife with a single
blade, with small piece ofivory
fastened in the end of the handle.
When the incision is made, the
ivory is used to raise the bark up
on either side, SO the bud may
be pressed into place. The
buds to be inserted should be
cut from young, healthy trees,
and always from the present
years growth. those that are
most matured being selected.
The leaves may then be clipped
off the branch of buds, leaving
say half an inch of the leaf stalk
attached to the bud. Then,
with a keen edge knife. cut off
each bud separately. from a half
to three-quarters of an inch in
length, leaving a thin slice of
wood back of the eye or bud.
These should be kept moist and
protected from the sun or air UNI
til set; exposure, even for short
time, may prove fatal.
When the whole top, or any
part of it is to be budded over,
select the spot for each bud in
a smooth part OF the branch. not
too large, say from one to two
inches in diameter. On this part
make an incision in the bark in
the shape of the capital letter T
and raise or separate the bark
from the wood with the ivory on
the end Of the knife. The bud
may then be pressed-into place.
Cut off square the portion that
goes above the cross incision.
Then. with a strip of the. bass
mating, wrap firmly around the
branch, above and below the
eye. fastening the end of the
strip with a slip knot.

A LATE AurHon verv truthfullv saw,

A LATE AUTHOR very truthfully says =
''Gold cannot buy happiness, and the pa
rents who compel their daughters to marry
for station or money commit grievous sin
against humanity and God. And a woman
who marries churl for his wealth will find
that she has made terrible bargain-that
all the gatherings of heartless grandeur are
phosphorescent elitierings Of heart-wretch-
edness; that her life viii be one of gilded
misery, and her old age viii be like crag
on the black side of deserted mountain,
where cold moonbeams sometimes glitter,
but no birds sing, but wild storms howl
and coarse thunder roar, and through the
sweeping storms shall be heard the stern
voice Of the graat God, saying, "Yopr
riches are corrupted. your garments are
moth-eaien, your gold and silver are cank-
cred, and the rust of them shall be a wit
ness against you, and cat your flesh as if it

Public Printing.

No state in the Union has
more defective public printing
law than Texas. Here the ne
cessity for giving public notice
through the press, oflegal trans
actions, is probably more essen
tail than elsewhere in the Union,
because of our large area otter
ritory and large but scattered
population. In the states where
sherifs, administrators, trustees,
county and circuit clerks, tax
collectors, constables and other
civil officers are required to give
notice through the newspapers
of transactions coming within
their respective dealings with the
people. the benefits in time,
labor and prevention Of mistakes,
is apparent, and has been Of de-
cided and good effect. To sim
ply post on some public wall, or
the courthouse door, ora tree,
or fence, or some other so-called
public place, notice illegibly
written. serves to no good pur-
pose and experience has proven
that legal advertisements in pub
lie newspapers are the only
ones which serve to accomplish
the objects and aims of law and
justice to all persons concerned
in litigation of a character which
requires public notice. We hope
the press of the state will seri-
ously consider this question and
urge upon candidates to the
legislature the importance and
necessity of rectifying this de-
feet in the public printing law
of Texas.-Dailas Herald.
The BANNER fully endorses
the above, and hopes that the
next legislature may see the ne
cessity for the creation such a
law.

Witicisms.

Where there's willow there's wave
Happy is he that has nothing, for he
can't loose it.
The latest song is:-sMary, don't
