regards effect The new tree can be
set erect at the transplanting.
There is nothing of mere theory in
this thing; il has been thoroughly
tested. Not long ago Mr.. II. F. Man
ly. of the Bank of Mobile, told US
that he had already made several new
orange trees on this plan with entire
success, and we think he told us they
were now full of fruit, at two years
from the transplanting.
The man who has few large trees
to work upon may increase the size
of his bearing grove rapidly by re-
sort 10 this method, tor there are
often many prongs and limbs on his
old trees that he could spare as well
as not. Then having in view this
plan of propagation he could favor it
by allowing prongs and limbs to
grow that would be removed under
other circumstances. Then, again,
the best of it is he loses but one year
of fruiting in the operation (the year

propagated in this way bear early,
but are short lived. We would not
advise any one to try it, unless for

One of the most serious stumbling
blocks that man finds in his way
when he thinks of becoming an or>
ange. culturist, lies in the fact that it
takes the trees eight or ten years
from the start to get into profitable
bearing. This stumbling block seems
about to be removed, to great ex-
tent, at least. A new method of pro-
pagating the orange has lately been
discovered, which bids fair to work
considerable revolution in the orange
business, as it does away with the
necessity of waiting so long for res
turns as is the case of the old methS
DDS. Under it you plant out a tree,
say in the spring OF 1873, and in 1884
it will bear veay tair crop of fruit.
The new method consists in propa-
eating layers made on certain plan.
We will suppose that yon have
bearing tree which forks not far from
the ground. In the spring you pro-
vide yourself with an empty barrel,
with one head out, IA -four barrel will
answer,) and "saw it in" at the bulge"
until one stave is cut off. This stave
you remove, with all the hoops, down
to where you have been saving. You
next remove the bark from one prong

One OF the confessed wrongs thai
the Missouri publishers have under
taken to put right, SO far at least az
they can do so by resolving, to make
foreign advertisers pay as high rates
as do their fellow townsmen. The
injustice of charging your next-doo,
neighbor more than man a thou.
sand miles away, for exactly the same
service, is too manifest to be dispu-
ted. Nevertheless this practice has
obtained among country publishers
from time immemorial, and the Gus
tom is too deeply seated, we fear, to
be easily eradicated. That the Mis-
souri, Press Association has officially
set Its condemnation upon the prac-
tice is something. It may at least
tend to disabuse the mind of the
average publisher of the heresy that
everything he gets from foreign adj
yertlsers is $50 much clear gain. . no
matter how small the price may be-
