Grafters.

Grating is an operation that had bet
ter be done too late than too early.
The best time is when the buds on the
stock are swelling, and if necessary shall
be continued until the trees are in full
bloom. At this season the bark slips
readily, and much care will be required
when saving off limb not to make
a bad wound by peeling down. This
can be prevented in great part by cut
ting through the bark with a strong
knife all round the limb where the saw
is to go. Buds should be left upon the
stock until the union of the graft is in
sured, which will be known by the buds
of the graft starting into growth. After
this rub off the buds upon the stock.
The growth of the graft will need some
attention should but single bud start,
and push upward very rapidly, long
slender shoot will be produced, easily
blown about by the wind and thereby
Ioosened from the stock. All such will
require checking by pinching off the top
SO that lateral branches may be formed.
There seems to be a strong desire to
give the trees the second place on the
land, and put some other crop first.
Those who do not care enough for an or
chard to devote the land to it, should
not plant one. Young trees, not yet in
bearing, are not injured by having some
hoed crop between them. But when
the trees begin to bear fair crop they
deserve and should have all the soil.
A clover crop to be fed offby pigs is the
best thing for the orchard and for the
pigs. This will enrich the soil, as the
only thingis in the shape of flesh, while
large amount of vegetable matter in
clover roots and manure has accumu-
lated.-Ana. Agvicult,a-ist

History of the Gid Red Cent.

As the old ''red cent" has now passed
out of sight, like the sold oaken bucket" I"
its history is matter of sufficient inter-
est for preservation. The cent was first
proposed by Robert Morris, and was
named by Jefferson two years later. 1t
made its appearance from the mint in
1892. It bore the head of Washington on
one side and thirteen links on the other.
The French revolution soon created a
rage for French ideas in America, which
put on the cent instead of the head of
Washington the head of the Goddess of
Liberty-a French Liberty. The chain
on the reverse side was displaced by the
olive wreath of peace; but the French
Liberty was short lived, and so was her
portrait on our cent. The next head or
figure that succeeded this-the staid,
classic dame with fillet around her
hair-came into fashion about thirty OF
forty years ago, and her finely chiseled
Grecian features have been but slightly
affected by the lapse of time.

eARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.



The loss of ammonia in manures is a
question frequently discussed. The
experiment of DR.. Voelcker with fresh
horse manure, gathered from the stables
before being mixed with the heaps,
viii, no doubt, interest and surprise
many. In one experiment the amount
OF ammonia, which was drawn out by
long-continued boiling, amounted to
o.6 pounds per ton, which, at twenty
cents per pound, would amount to 81. 80
per ton The loss, however, on the
land would not amount to a quantity any
thing like this, for in such case the
ammonia was extracted with boiling
water A second experiment, with
sample Of hot, fermenting horse manure,
emitting strong and pungent odor,
lost in like manner less than two pounds
per ton, or 80 2-10 cents in value. As
the excrement, even as hot as this is,
soon cooled when spread upon the
ground, and as the fresh earth absorbs
the ammonia very rapidly, these expert
ments would indicate loss in practice
of too small value to be taken into ac-
count, when the convenience of time is
taken into consideration. A large
majority of our farmers are frequently
deferred from drawing out manure at
times when the hauling would cost very
little, on account of the teams standing
idle in the barns, for fear of loss by ex-
posure, but so small loss should never
be considered when question of con-
venience arises.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Mark Lane Express
in review of the British grain trade the past
week says: Vegetation has been retarded by
recent east winds, wheat however, appears
healthy, though backward. Deliveries of
English wheat were small, and the scarcity
compelled needy buyers to pay one shilling
advance in some provincial markets, but the
demand was very restricted London business
in wheat was small, and prices nominally
pence on account scarcity Of spot; only one
which after being some days in the market
sold for 40 shiilings. The long continued
easterly winds prevented the arrival of grain
laden vessels. Granary stocks at home ports
are consequently much reduced, but
spot prices have not been af.
fected, except in the above mentioned
instances. Nearly half the London supply for
foreign wheat was American. Flour in small
supply, which was absorbed by the demand at
unchanged prices. Foreign -four in great de-
mand at unaltered quotations. The scarcity
Of wheat helped the sale of -four. Maize in
small spot supply, and the off coast market
