Cuttings.

ADelaware county subscriber asks us
whether he had better provide his cut
tings for spring planting in the fall and
bury them through the winter, or to wait
until spring. We answer that we pre-
fer the spring, say in February or March,
and then bury until they are wanted to
set out. With our currsnts (black, red
and Whitley and gooseberries we have
never failed in growing them to any ex-
tent. We stick them in the ground
about six inches, removing all the buds
entering the ground if we want only one
stalk or small tree, but allowing all to
remain on if for bush, which we think
bears the most fruit and lives the long
est. 1t is the same as ounces, which
grow equally well from cuttings. In all
cases the wood of the past years growth
is used. Gemdntoaen Telegraph.

Grating Grape Vines.

Those who wish to graft their vines
over with other vines should remember
that winter, and not spring, is the time
for 1t; and in this the grape is different
from most other trees. 1t is different in
this that in the spring of the year there
issuch tremendous pressure upward by
the ascending sap that the parts of the
scion and stock which, to unite, must, of
course, touch one another are forced by
tie sap apart. When the CRAFTS are put
in at this season there ia little of this.
The several cells granulate and heal;
and When the sap is ready to flow up
ward strongly it goes up through its
regular channels in the graft, without
any tendency to break out through the
junction, How to graft grape vines
admits Of many various replies The
best is that described years ago by
Samuel Miller, then of Lebanon, now
Of Missouri. Who was very successful
asa CRATER of the grape. He drew away
the soil from the stock to be grated, cut
it down about two inches from the
surface, then cut with stout, sharp
knife long and narrow dge-shaped
notch in the stock, and shaped the scion
IS wedge to fit in the stock. The lips
Of the notch are then tied together and
the earth drawn in around the whole,
leaving the upper eye OF the graft above
the ground.

Fertfltztng Orchards.

A North Ridge farmer wishes to learn
what kind of fertilizer to use for an
orchard of sandy land that has been in
grass five or six years, and the apple
trees are not growing well or bearing
fair fruit. He asks whetheL it is best to
break up the sod, or only fertilize on the
surface. We would say by all means
pillow the land, but only deep enough to
turn the sod, but first apply agood dress
ing of well rotted manure. This may
be done in the fall or early in the spring.
If manure is scarce, add wood ashes -
they are worth twenty cents per bushel
for this purpose, if made of hard wood
and if these cannot be found buy some
pure bone dust, tie best of sll fertilizers,
but rather expensive. Give the trees q

Raising Calves.


This may not be exactly the season of
the year to give suggestions about the
best way to raise calves. But it is the
right time to observe the difference in
the results of the plans which m2y hsve
been practiced the past summer. A
writer in the Wsvorly Republican says
he has been raising q number of calves
the past season, and gives his experience
with them:
"Out of sixteen head owned by us,
twelve were fed from pail, they learning
to drink readily when only few days
old their feed consisted of new milk for
the first two weeks, then skim milk was
substituted. They were turned into q
small pasture at the end of q month, and
as soon as corn was fit, ears of green corn
were chopped fine with an axe, and
given them twice aday, and soon there.
after pumpkins were added, all of which
they much relished. AT present writing
they are fed shelled corn and allowed
the run of the stalk field, and are look
ing thrifty and growing finely.
"The other four were left with the
cows during the summer months, and
were in good condition when removed
this fall. But they did not relish the
change of feed, and although great pains
were taken they did not eat well, and
grew thin in flesh. At present writing
they are looking unthrifty, aud will
hardly reach satisfactory condition be-
fore turning out to grass another year
l hus it would seem by our experience
that calves do much better raised by
hand and accustomed gradually TO dry
feed, rather than left with the COW sew.

A GERMAN newspaper which must be

is wrong to write in novels that the "sea

the sea runs very little more than twenty
feet. The German is right; and it is
equally wrong to speak of gorgeous

moonlight sleeping on bank, for
moonlight rever sleeps; or Father
Rhine, for the Rhine is river and
nohody's father at all. In point of fact,
it is wrong to use words at any time, for
