Root Grafting.

/ Root-grafting, in contradistlnction tC
stock-gratting, is simply grating upon
portion Of the root instead of the
stock, and may be performed by any OF
the methods employed in grating. 1t
is usually performed by whip or tongue
grating, since this gives a larger sur
face Of contact than simply cleft graft
ing Tongue-grafting Is performed as
follows: A section of root, seeding Of
the previous wear, three or four inches
in length, previously cut square at each
end, is selected. With a thin, sharp
blade diagonal cut is made across the
root, severing q slice, say three-quarters
of an inch long, and extending more
than half way across the stock at the
square end. 4 slit is then made direct
" up the stock somewhat more than
half rs long as the diagonal cut. thus
forming tongue. The graft contain
ing three buds is then cut strictly the
reverse of this, or so it viii nicely meet
the diagonal cut, with a thin, wedge
shaped cut to be pressed in the slit,
care being taken that the inner bark Of
the root and the graft meet nicely. The
whole Is then wrapped wIth cloth cut
into suitable strips, and covered with
grating wax, and kept just warm
enough so that it viii press nicely to the
graft and root, and adhere to hold all in
place.
Except for the sake Of doing the work
yourself, it viii hardly pay you to do
your own root-grafting, since this work
is now done in the most perfect manner
at commercial nurseries, and the root
gratis packed and sold for less price
than you could possibly do it yourself.

A Secret Worth Knowing by House
keepers.

A sort of trade secret among uphol-
ster~. il i said, is this recipe for Kidding
furniture of moths: 4 set Of furniture
that seemed to be alive with the larvae,
from the month it came new, and from
which hundreds of these pests had been
picked, and brushed, was set into a
room by itself Three gallons Of benzine
were purchased, ut thirty cents a gal
Ion, retail. Using a small watering
pot, with a fine rose sprinkler, the
whole upholstery was saturated through
with The benzine. Result-Every moth,
larvae and eg was killed. The benzine
dried out in Il few hours, and its entire
odor disappeared in three or four days.
Net the slightest harm happened to the
varnish. or wood, or fabrics. or hair
stutiiEg. That was months ago, and not
the sign of a moth has since appeared.
The carpets were also sprinkled all round
the sides of the room with equally good
effect. For frrs, hannels, indeed all
wooden articles containing moths, ben
zine is most valuable. Put them in
box, sprinkle them with benzine, close
the box tightly, and in day or two the
pests will be exterminated, and the BEN
zine will evaporate on opening. In
using benzine great care should be
taken that no fire Is near by, as the
stuff in fluid or vapor form is very i'm
hammable.
