The Grating Season.

The proper time for grating fruit trees
has almost arrived, and people who may
have this work to do should, if they are
unable to do it themselves. spot out some
suitable person in the neighborhood who
has had experience in grating. to do their
work tor them al an early day. Grating
is one of the Jobs on the farm that never
gets done if delay is allowed, tor the right
season to do the work is followed SO close
| ly by the season when active spring oper-
alton must begin. that unless it takes pre-
cedence it is apt to be postponed until the
next year, when the same rule will apply.
Every person who ownes trees ought to
be capable of doing his own grafling
without assistance from anyone. The bus
mess can be easily learned BY any per-
son who will take pains to watch an expe
rienced workman for short time. We
give the following suggestions which have
been tried and found to be Of great value :;
Stalk or limb to be grated not over two
inches in diameter ought to be taken off
a. distance of four inches Use fine saw
| incline the saw SO that the stump. il per-
pendicular will shed the rain. The bark
in all cases must be nninjured. With n
sharp knife smooth off the sawed stump and
then take case-knife, which is as good as
any, place it across the heart OF the stock

A narrow screw-driver may he used for
keeking open the split. shape the scion
wedge fashion both ways keeping the bark
intact. Be careful to make a shoulder as
far up as the scion is shaved, which
though not so strong, better insures
growth. The inside of both scion and
| stalk must meet or cross in order that the
sap of the two may commingle. Be care
full to set the scion at slight angle spread
ing from each other and when the stalk
is small and only one scion inserted. place
a piece of wood on the opposite side. of
corresponding thickness. If the slit does
not close up sufficiently, it is good plan
to tie around it a cotton string to keep it
tight upon the draft. Be sure TO cover
with wax every part of the cut wood and

how absurd or inconsistent with the indisputa-
BILE evidence their premature hypothesis may
be, they will cling to it tenaciously, shutting
their eyes to everything which tends to dis
prove it. Whenever conflict comes between
the theory and the facts, it is the facts which
have to give way.
With the many theories that the many IN
yestigatcrs are following, and with the confu-
sion and uncertainty that have attended the
progress of the inquiry, the murder OF Rose
Clark seems not unlikely to remain as deep
in obscurity as that of Jennie Cramer. The
two cases have some elements of similarity.
In both the victims were young and hand
some. In both the unfortunate girls had
lovers who were as contemplate cravens
and sneaks as could be found
anywhere. In both the deed was done at
such a frequented place and amid such cir
cumstances as to make the escape OF the as
sassn from detection and punishment SEEM
ingly Impossible. But no one ever suffered
for the death of the pretty NewHaven girl.
Whether the murderer of Rose Clark will
also remain unframed is still unsettled.
Some of the journals that have been print

to the character OF nose NldTk, III WHICH
her virtues and heroic qualities were exalted
without STINT have been sadly imposed upon,
for it has been shown beyond doubt that she

tons with the cowardly cur Lewis were begun

the victim are equally astray as to the
