1t is debatable question with horticult-
wrists whether gratis inserted in tree
have any influence on the fruit of the
original stock or tree, or on the other hand,
whether the original stem or tree has any
influence OH the grated fruis Il is i'm
possible to determine this question by
theorizing or philosophizing. The general
opinion seems to be that the influence in
either case is but slight. But here comes
correspondent of the Prairie Farmer
and states fact that seems to be contrary
to the general opinion. For the benefit of
our horticultural readers we quote from
the communication, giving the name of the
writer and his address An old Seeding
apple tree of come thirty or more years,
standing on the premises of A. j. Smith,
in or near Galena, Delaware county, Ohio,
produced small green apple, one to one
and one half inches in diameter, considered
worthless. Some four or five years
since the tree was top-grafted with
four or more varieties, among them
King of Tompkins county, and two others
which were red or striped also. The top
was formed by separating into two main
branches, inclining to the north and south.
Owing to an intensely hot and dry summer
which Immediately followed the grating,
those set in the limbs on the south side
failed, while those on the north all sue
ceeded. but made very feeble growth that
season. Last year the wood springing from
those gratis fruited for the frat time and
produced apples which are recognized as true
specimens of the varieties thus engrafted.
But here comes the curiosity. All the limbs
which were left on the north side of the
tree, below the point where the ENGRAVING
took place, prodnced last year, for the first
time, distinctly red and striped apple,
about double the size of the green one for

ment, although Mr.. Smith thinks he can
detect difference in flavor of the new of
changed production. On the limbs
on the south half of the tree which
were left below where the ENGRAVING
took place land which failed) no change
occurred in the character OF fruit, and the
same green apple appeared this season as
in days gone by. The query now is, What
caused the changed condition. Was it
owing to the severe pruning? If so, why
did not the sosth half of the tree produce
red and striped fruit nearly, if not quite
identical, with those on the north half
Such not being the case, we then must
come to the conclusion the crafts of red
and striped apples, inserted IN those limbs,
did, or may have had, an influence upon
the wood and buds below them. do not

1910. Charade, by Rose


Last is the stern relentless finger,
Which makes sad havoc with our looks,
Which beckons, when We fain would linger,
In Lies green paths and shady hooks.
Bright hopes which foIdly we have nursed,
Decay and crumble in the dust,
And cherished treasures, growing first,
Become prey to moth and rust.
Then comes our turn to chant the praise
OF whole, and in glowing numbers tell
How far superior were the ways
OF those with whom we then did dwell.
The clergy preached the gospel straight
(For then we'd no revised edition)
Turned slime DER to birthstone fate,
When th>y should reach perdition.
The doctors then could cure our ills
And all our aches could cheat and foil
Without the aid OF tiny pills,
"Hop Bitters or " ST. Jacobs OIL"
And we were nel er then deceived
BY doubtful editorial views
And harder yet to be believed,
subscribers always paid their dues.
Upheard of in the lecture field
Was woman, clamoring for her " rights
For then the joys which home could yield
Left no desire for new delights.
We never sighed for Herod's day,
Or from noisy uproar quiet sought.
For "she-bears we'd no cause TO pray,
For children then were manners taught.
The flowers bloomed with lovelier hue,
The spring came earlier, as the rule,
the weather was quite perfect, too,
and never then too hot or cool.
Without the aid of rhyme or verse,
In an old saw Is thus expressed
The gIst OF whole ia language terse-
"1here are no birds in last years nest"

Bone Dust for Worn Cut Wheat Land.
1t is stated that in Washington county,
Ohio, the farmers had completely exhausted
their soil by constant production of wheat;
that old farmers who had first settled the
county, and had at one time made good
living and become in measure wealthy
by raising and selling wheat, to their great
surprise found their wheat crops get.
ting SO light that they could
scarcely make. both ends meet.
They were in fact working harder and
practicing greater economy each year, and
still each year were growing poorer and
poorer. Many of them had to give up
wheat growing and resort TO butter-making
and the production of eggs to get poor
living. Finally some Scotchmen came and
DouSht up some OF Ihese exhausted farms
and bsgan sowing bone dust and wheat
In few years the fertility of the soil for
wheat was restored and wheat became
again the leading crop, and SO remains.
All the farmers have followed the example
of the Scotchnen, ard the whole people
have been rescued from poverty and set
upon their feet again. Bone dust did it all

those rugs or loose carpets as it is to sweep
did Kill me out. Besides, good neighbor
the busting is lessened nine tenths under
my system. Also, my furniture is saved,
and does not have to be cleaned once where
before it had to be wiped out ten times
Add to this the fact that your own lungs
and eyes and ears are not filled with dust
by your housekeeping as much as before,
and remember that the movable carpet
does not gather dust enough in two days
to make the shaking" process half SO
formidable as you think. At any rate, the
benefits l find are ten to one In favor of
my plan. Then remember, madam, that
it is stylish" too, if that counts with
you. In Europe l saw the houses of the
finest mansions with uncovered floors and
indeed, it was the rule in some parts to
find the polished floor and the large, soft
warm rugs, and the exception to find the
filth gathering carpet.
Now, dear Household, in all this the
great and most important matter has not
been touched. Let ME tell you what my
physician says:
"Carpets, Mrs. T, are the source of
! much disease. Much of the matter the
body casts off is taken up by the carpet, to
be soon sent out into the air OF the room
to be breathed up into the human lungs,
and to propagate disease and make work
for my profession. You ought to know
yourself that carpets will hold the odor of
a sick room for weeks. Well, what is
odor! It is the minutest of atoms passing
off from substance. Without substance
there can be no smell, as Edgar here would
call it, l think You understand me, Mrs.
T. Add to what the body casts off
civilizations of fecsl matter necessarily left
for time in a room, and then the odor of
food, the deposits of matter brought in by
the outer air, and other means of charging
a carpet with material, and you will see
that the carpet is ehargeable with much of
the disease of this age. The same may be
said, in a degree, of heavy hangings and
soft goods curtains, and bed clothing, and
that is the very reason you daily air your
bed clothing. Why should not people air
the clothing of the room that is under foot
| and catches hundredfold more OF filth
than the blanket on the bed q
But doctor, you have fixed carpets In
your house and -"
"Ah, my dear madam, have wife who
is not yet convinced. Wait until some
epidemic and contagious disease gets into
the family, as it is liable to, and then by
virtue of my sovereign right l can order
the destruction of the carpets, and then
| we'll guess Mrs. will come around,
to keep the peace, and see how you have
carpets, and yet NO carpets."
Ny dear Household. you have my expert.

The admirers of Mr.. Thackeray Will remember
