GRArE-CUTTING.--in planting out
cuttings there are many points to be
noticed. The first requirement Is that
the varieties are kept separate and un-
mixed. If you have the choice OF the
grape-vines from which the cuttings
are 10 be taken, pick out the strong
est and Notwithstanding. From these
especially take those cuttings which
have short links and strong, thick,
healthy eyes (buds). If you can cut
two or more cuttings from one whip,
take the lowest that grows nearest
to the stock as the fittest. The most
extreme and thinner ends are only fit
to be planted out in the nursery. from
where they may be planted out as root
ed cuttings the next year. In prepar-
ing your cuttings take notice that you
make a clean, smooth cut, and If possl-
BILE right in that place where the mar
row OF two links is separated by small
partition wall Immediately under the
eye (bud) of the cutting A clean and
smooth cut and right at that place Is
necessary, because az the formation OF a
new root it gives the young and very
tender bark u better chance 10 grow over
the wound and thus prevent the rotting
of the marrow. The length of cuttings
is "a TO = feet. In trimming the up
per end OF the cutting take care that
you do not cut it too close TO the bud,
as by SO doing you might easily kill il.
The cuttings are generally planted In
this manner; a hole is made in the
ground with some pointed instrument,
the cutting stuck into this, and the dirt
is packed around it with a stick. This
is altogether wrong. Flrst--Throagh
the force of the instrument with which
the hole is made the walls of the lat
ter become packet ard solid, and offer
the young, new.yforming roots I'M
mediate resistance, that must check
their growth. Second--The stick thai
is used 10 replace the 1irt and pack ii
around the cutting after it is placed in
The hole, frequently hurts or removes
the lower eyes of the cutting, and thus
kills il. 4 much better way TO set oGt
cuttings is to dig small holes with a
spade, and use the hands 10 press the
dirt around the vines. Ii is OF great
advantage. If il can be done, TO use
some water when filling the dirt in the
holes again. The water will settle dirt
tightly around lhe cutting, which is
very essential for the formation OF the
root, ut the same tine furnishing The
necessary moisture for a long time.

Inflammatory Literature.

The people who would suppress vice
have their hands full of work. 1t is
not only the illegally filthy which is to
be put out of the way but that immense
flood of stuff which is seasoned with un-
wholesome spicery. A recent reviewer,
after examining great numbers of these
multiplying productions of a degraded
press, wrote that: Nothing good can
be said of them. They must be charac-
terized as bad, worse, worst" The III
ties of the stories are viciously sensa-
tional and the situations are of the most
impossible character, with high spice of
hair breadth adventure, prurient de-
scription and scandalous suggestion.
Picturesqueness, delicacy, purity are all
alien to these blood curdling fictions,
and the normal and healthy conditions
Of life are not considered. The heroes
are those most regardless of long settled
social and natural laws, and their most
notable achievements are triumphant
revolts against the very nature of things.
Their armament is complete and efficient,
their combativc skill is marvellous and
their language and habits are those Of
the slums. Occasionally n trite moral
ism or plagiarized description is
introduced as foil, or as Il
contrast by which to hcighten
he color of the narrative but the next
chapter brings back the rattle Of the
frontier reyolveIs, the howls OF the
South Sea pirates and the vulsar-gen-
tee dialogues Of the bucl>ram lords and
ladies' And the reader ever draws q
frightening chain, for no sooner IS
