THE ROSE-ITs PROPAGATION.

The method adopted by nurserymen in
me propagation OF roses, which is unduubt-
edIy the best tor them who raise immense
numbers. is to take the youngest wood of
this years growth three or four inches in
length, having at least one bud at the bot
tom and one at lhe top, and place it in a
common saucer or any shallow pan, sup
pllr" WITH pure sand. imbedding the lower
portion OF ihe wood in the sand and keep

TN ee times per day, when the weather is
quite warm. When lhe eud Of the cutting
shows signs OF making roots. carefully
transplant it in d small pot. one cutting in
eacfl, nlled with light ich garden soil, or,
what is better, soil from the woods. Keen
the pots in the shade when the sun is very
hot, from 10 to o'clock, and water two or
three times day. In the spring transfer
to large pots with fresh earth, and water as
before. The best way for private families
Is to bend the new shoots from the bush,
Slit ng them lengthwise at the bend and
inserting in the ground from one to two
inches, leaving the end OF the branch to
stick out. Sometimes it will require fork
ed stick to keep it firmly in the ground. OF
course they must be occasionally moistened.
This can be done now and at any tine dur
ing the growing season, through August
and September. Cover lightly through the
winter with leaves etc. In the spring cut
off the branch near the bush, and in digging
it up you will find two strong-growing
plants on dividing the roots. Transfer to
pots, and the probability is that they will
bloom the first year, and SO you will gain a
year by this method. You certainly will il
they are dug up late in the fall, potted, and
placed in the greenhouse. Cutting off slips
in August, of the new wood, and stick in
the ground under currant bushes or anv
other cool, shady place, will often grow and
give strong plants the following season.

REMEDIES FOR VARIOUS INSECTS,

Professor Riley, the United States Ento-
mologst, in recent paper, gave the result
OF his experiments tor the destruction of the
insects that stand in the way of successful
fruit culture. He first alluded to the cod
ling moth He believed that there was no
question that Paris green was not only a
remedy, but that there was little danger in
using it. But he still is unable to overcome
a disinclnation to recommend it, especially
since the late DR.. Hull maintained that he
had found slaked lime busted Oh the trees
to be equally as effecrual. Prof. Riley posi-
lively affirmed that he knew that the worms

been puzzle, not only to farmers, but to
scientific men as well. One thing we know
Is, that her eggs are never disturbed. and
they are surrounded only by the pure and
uncontaminated atmosphere. When we
place eggs under a hen, we know nothing

| question that has been occasionally discus
ell. For plum curculo. he believed thai
lhere was nothing superior to 'arIiny. He
placed no faith in the repelant powers Of
strong smelling substances which are some
times recommended. He said if he were to
enumerate the six most important substan-
ces that could be used for DESTROYING insects
above ground, he would mention tobacco.

pyrethrum. 1t has lately ! cen learned. too.
that the vapor Of nicotine, that is, tobacco
vapor. is not'only very effectual in DESTROY
ing insects wherever it can be confined, as
in greenhouses, but that it is less injurious
to delicate plants than either the suloke or
the liquid. This tact will explain the efficat-
cy OF tobacco stems strewn upon the
ground. AS an instance of the good results
attending the latter plan, he cited the inter-
esting experience of William Saunders in
dealing with the grape-leaf hoppers. These,
until two years ago, baffied all his efforts
they caused his grape leaves to turn yellow
and fall prematurely in the grapery at
Washington. But he found that by strew
ng the ground under the vines with the to-
bacco stems which were constantly being
moistenened by the Swinging, the leaves
were preserved intact and he had no further
trouble from that source.
The last three MISUNDERSTANDING, pe.ro-
leum and pyrethrum-have come into use
during recent years These have now also
come to be so well known that it is perhaps
scarcely necessary to particuIarize as to
their application. The arsenic, London
purple, paris-green, or other PREPARATIONS
has been more extensively used than ANY
other substance, and where it can be used
safely it is undoubtedly the most valuable
OF all. The value of different preparations
OF petl olepm has also long been known. as
no other substance is more destructive to
insects generally. But the great trouble
mas been to use it with safety. because of
the difficulty experienced in mixing it with
water or diluting it in some way. He ex-
planned how to make permanent kerosene
emulsion. Take two parts of kerosene with
one OF sour milk, and churn the mixture

Baldwin now has railroad facilities
second to no village in this part Of the
State. At $40 In the morning there
are three trains leaving here. at the
same hour, aud travellers by rail can go
east, west or south. At the noon hour
u train arrives over the Chicago Il West
Michigan Railway; at 1910 a train go
ing east over the Flint & Pere Mar
quette Il. r.; and at l2:44, a train goes
west over the same road. At $40 u
train departs southwark over the c. q
w. NJ, and one eastward on the +. &
p. nj. A train arrives, on the G. 4 w.
NJ, at S:l5 p. M, and the last train for
the day goes west at 9:02. Beside the
passenger trains there are the freight
trains going and coming on each road.
Five express and mail trains come and
go each day, their arrivals and depar-
lures being divided between the morn

Complaint has been entered against
Jerome Meixell, a saloon keeper at Lu-
ther, for selling liquor without paying
the tax. The examination was to have
taken place yesterday, and Prosecuting
Attorney Withey and County Treasur-
erTowner (the latter as witness) went
up to attend the case. As Hear as we
can learn, Meixell first started the sa-
loon in his wife's name, and after her
death continued to sell, as agent. The
prosecution, we believe, claims that the
death of the principal annulled the
agency, and that by law Meixell would
have been compelled to close the sa-
loon, or give new bond and pay the
tax.
