CHEAP SHEDDING FOR SToCK.--In very
many sections Of our farming com-

chcapncss may serve the same purpose
as the expenditure Of considerable
hard-carncd cash, then 1t is best to
adopt the former. In this matter of
shedding, where lumber is both scarce
and high priced, and where the cash on
hand is needed for other things, tenn
porary, as well rs comfortable, shelters
for stock can be erected ut no other
expense than that cntailed by the labor
expended. Stout timbers, six or eight
inches in diameter, Of oak, maple or
other strong wood, arc planted about
ten feet apart, and about six 10 eight
feet out of tho ground, having
"crotchcS" or forkcu ends at the top on
which to lay other timbers parallel
with the ground. Across these old
rails arc land about two feet apart and
on them is piled the corn fo,ldcr as it
comes from the fields in bundles,
These bundles are laid on from five to
ten or more in depth, and so arranged
as to carry of the rains. These make
excellent shelters for the stock, if built
with the open side facing lie south,
and by the time the fodder is used of
them, the warm days are upon us. We

How TO MANAGE CUTTINGS. &C.

How TO MANAGE CUTrINGs.--In &C.
lectiug Il cutting, n great deal depends
upon the iudiciouS choice; If the slip is
too young and full Of fresh sap, it will
fade away from too much evaporation
If 1T is too old, hard and woody--it
will take great while to strike root.
You must take Il cutting that Is per-
fectly ripcned and is from u vigorous
shoot, yet little hardened at the base.
1t is also essential to haYe Il bud or joint
ut 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
success, Plant your cuttings in COM
mon red pots, filled half full Of rich
loam and two inches of sand on
top Occurring sand will do, but not
sea sand); wet this thoroughly, and
put the cuttings close around tho edge
of the pot, for if the bud or joint comes
in contact with the uitace of the pot It.
sce.hs to strike root more quickly. Pull
of the lower leaves before you plant
the cutting. Press the wet sand tightly
about the tiny stem, for great deal of
your success in raising the cutting de-
pends upon the close contact Of sand
with the stem. When the cuttings are
firmly planted, cover them with glass
shade ii possible, rs 1t will greatly pro-
mote the growth of the plant. MOis-
ture, light and heat, are the three es-
scntials to plant life; without them no
cutting will start. Shade for two or
three days from the sunlight, but don't
let the sand become dry; then give all
the sun you can obtain, keep up a good
supply of moisture, aud yOu can hardly
fail 10 root most of your cuttings.
