1t is difficult to give a correct idea of the art
of budding without the use of cnts, but it is a
very simple operation, which any one who can
white with pOcket-knife can perform. Pears
are usually budded in the first hafof July; then
plums, cherries, apples and peaches in rotation,
close the season the last of August the first of
September. Buds may be inserted in the small
vigorous branches of trees of any age, but for
propagation in the nursery they are usually ill.,
serted in the young stocks of seedlings about four
inches from the ground, at any time after the
first of July, when the bark ON the stock will
slip or peel easily. Select thrifty twig of the
present years growth of the variety you wish to
propagate, cut away its top until you find well
matured, plump buds, its base the same; then
cut away the leaves, leaving third of an inch
of the stem of the leaf ON the ''stiek' of buds;
select smooth place on the stock to he buddetl,
make n vertical slit in its bark an inch in length,
then cross cut ut the top of this slit like let
ter I; raise up the lower corners made by the
Injunction of these two Sits; cut bud from your
prepared ''stck" by inserting a very keen, thin
knife through the bark, and gradually, slightly
into the wood a third of an inch in front of a
bud, and bringing il out third of an inch be-
hind it; Insert the bud SO cut under the raised
corners of the bark, and shove il by the piece OF
leaf stem adhering down the vertical slit, entire
IL under the bark, leaving the leaf stem and
point of the bud sticking out. Then bind with
Eastwood bark, WOODEN or cotton string, all mp
tightly and snugiy. In three to four weeks ex-
anime the buds, and if they look fresh and plump
loosen the strings Ii the bud has not set it viii
look black and dead, and the job may be done
over again if the bark will peel.
The next spring the stock must he cut off three
or four inches above the bud as growth starts.
Sprouts from the stocks must he rubbed of, and
when the young shoot is four TO six inches high
| il should be tied to the 'stub" of the stick, e
| prevent its being blown or broken off. The old
fashioned way of budding to take this par.

out that this was not only unnecessary in thi,
dry climate, but Observation-Disclosures Farmer.

EARLY Flowing for Wheat.

The weather since harvest has been favorable
for blowing for wheat The wise farmers have
already turned a large part of their wheat land.
They have the work done before the ground be-
comes bare and the sultry days of August come.
They will then be ready to take advantage of
the rains, and when the ground pulverizes rea-
dily they will roll OF harrow the ground, and
have it clean and in fine filth for seeding.
The old method of breaking up wheat land
late and in clods and then scattering broadcast
the chaffy, halfcleaned wheat, and expecting
nature to cherish the young plants by the crum-
bling of the clods from frost and rain, is happily
about ont of date in this region. The enterpris-
ing and successful farmers have learned that it
pays to thoroughly prepare wheat land. If the
pillow has not yet started, there should be no de-
lay. Ground can be broken more easily now
than month hence. The ragweed and cat-tail
grass have not yet matured their seed, and the
land will he cleaned by blowing early. Then,
too, the volunteer wheat will sprout, and can be
destroyed by harrowings and rOllings needed TO
put the wheat bed in good order. Don't be de-
ceived by the lazy mans theory, that the weeds
among young wheat do no harm. We have
heard il argued that coat of weeds at seeding
time shaded the ground and kept it moist, and
the wheat would start the better for the presence
of the weeds. The advocates of such views are
careless observers, and hard up for an excuse for
their slack methods. If the reader is one of this
sort, let him test the matter by an experiment.
Plow early a part of the field, aud cultivate it
until it is clean and fine about two inches deep,
when the wheat is drilled in early September.
Then put the other part of the field in the old
slip-shOd way, and note the results. We think
one fair trial of this kind Will convince any
sonable man. We say reasonable, because we
lost all idea of progress or change or of investi

To Housekeepers.

We copy the following valuable recipes for
preserving fruits and vegetables from Dietz's
Experimental FarR Journal:
The following suggestions for canning and
preserving fruits and vegetables have been care
fully tested by experience, and approved as SIM
pie and reliable. II the fruits be fresh and
healthy when put IN, they may safely be relied
on to keep in their natural condition for a long
time, and almost rs fresh when gathered. An
important part of the success in canning and
preserving fruit consists in selecting that which
is fresh sOnnd and healthy. This done, secnrc
good Tin cans, or, if you can get them, glass jar
and bottles, and when filed he that the air
is entirely expelled, and that they are perfectly
sealed soldered. Glass jars are to be preferred,
Mt all times, to the tin cans. BE careful to pre-
serve the fruit nearly whole and unbroken in
the process as possible. Fruit and vegetables
will always keep better if fresh aud unbrokcn
than if bruised.
The rules for preserving fruits are simple and
few and can be successfully observed by any
one There need he no failure if reasonable care
and attention are exercised. There are two
ways of expelling the air from jugs or cans,
either of which will answer. The first is to heat
the fruit after putting it into the cans or jars,
and the other To pour the hot fruit into them,
which will itself expcl the air. The first method
is usually preferred. Ii preserves the form and
beauty of the fruit, which is likely to become
bruised and broken by being poured hot into the
Jars. Great should be taken in canning
cherries, berries, currants, and all small fruits,
to do SO without breaking or bruising them.
When broken the juice eecapes and presents
clear syrup. Too much cooking has the same
effect.
To prevent breakage when glass jars OF bottles
are used. they should be immersed in warm
water before pouring in the hot fruit, will ans
wer the same purpose.
All fruit and vegetables should be packed IN
rs closely as they will admit. In heating the
lars, pieces of wood should be laid in the bottom
of the boiler to keep them off the hot surface,

AN OLD MANS ADVICE.

1t is only an old mans advice.
You may take OF not, as you choose,
But those who arr anxious to gain,
Must always be willing 10 lose;
And he who is stingy aud mean.
Can meier lie expected to find
That others will be unto him
Mort generous, noble, or kind.
Iflove be the good that we crave,
Each hour and each moment We learn
The truly affoetionate heart
Receives ample wealth in return.
81, IL you would gain n new friend,
Your friendi.ness seek to display,
For the nearest and dearest You'll find
Are those you meet more than halfway.
II fortune alone be the prize
You eovst. its price must be paid,
And often the gain Is much less,
Alas than the sacrifice made;
Yet gnreslily seeking for wealth,
We eagerly press toward the goal
% bent upon winning the world,
We rashly impcril the soul.
Whatever the race that we run.
Whatever the course that We CHOOSE,
We must make up our minds at the start,
How much We may venture Ia lose;
Or Else We may happen To find
That what we have sought for with rest,
Was really no gain. but lo-s
Of all that WIS dearest and best.
For the wisdom and honors Of age,
With the freshness Of youth We NAV part
Mar dream that CROWN for the head
Imposes a eruSs ON the heart;
And they who discover too late.
They paid an exorbitant prize
For all that they gained, may regret
Not taking an old mans advice.

In the regular evening meeting
That the Church holds every week
One night a listening angel sat.
To hear them pray and speak.

Why some Of that gathering came
But sick and sinful hearts he saw
With grief and guilt aiame-
They were silent but said the angel
Our lives have need Of Him :"
While doubt, with dull vague throbbng pain
Stirred through their spirits dim.
Yeu could sec twas the regular meeting.
And the regular seats we've nllesl.
And all knew who would pray and talk
Though any one might that wiled.
From his place in front. near the pulpit
In his long accustomed way
When the Hook Was read and the hymn was sung.
The Deacon rose to pray.
First came the long preamble
IL Peter had opened 50.
He had been ere the Lord his prayer had heard
Full! my fathom below.
Then a volume Of information
Poured forth, as IL to the Lord.
Concerning His ways and attributed
And the things by Him abhorrcd.
But not in the list Of the latter
Was mentioned the mocking brsath
OF the hypocrite prayer that is not praying.
And the make-believe life in death
Then he prayed for the Church: and the Pastor;
And that souls might be his hire
Whatever his stipend otherwise
And the Suntay-sehooli and the choir;
And the swarnins hor,les Of India;
And the psrishins vile Chinese;
And the millions who bow To the Pope Of Rome;
And the Pagan Churches Of Greece;
And the ouieast remnants Of Judah,
OF whose guilt he had much to tell
He prayed or he told the Lord he prayed,

The Raral WOrld gives some hints that may
be of use TO our farmers about cleaning rusty
plows. 1t says, ''take quart of water and pour
slowly into it half pint Of sulphuric acid. The
mixture will become quite warm from chemical
action, and this is the reason why the acid should
be poured slowly into the water rather than the
water into the acid. Wash the mould board with
this, and let il remain on the iron till il evapo-
rates. then wash il again. The object is to give
the acid time TO dissolve the rust. Then wash
with water and you will see where the worst
spots are. Apply some more acid and rub on
those spots with a brick. The acid and the
securing will remove most of the rust. Then wash
the mould board thoroughly with water TO re-
move all the acid, and rub Il dry. Brush it over
with petroleum, or other oil. and let il be till
spring When you go to blowing take a bottle of
of the acid water to the field with you, and ap-
ply it to every spot of rust that may remain.
