Farm Question Box.

Subscriber, Rutherford College. N. C.: have some
very fine peaches and some very poor Can bud
the good ON the bad? If so, what Is the time ana
method, will they do well II grated like apples?
Please tell me what to do to make success OF them.
You can bud the good varieties on the poor.
This can be done at any time in summer after
the buds are full grown, and whilst the bark
of the tree, upon which the bud is to be placed,
slips readily. You can bud dozen more of
the main branches and thus form new head
of the good kinds Two Sits are made through
the bark across each other and the bark care
fully raised With sharp knife, bud with
a part OF the bark adjacent to it and a very
thin slice Of the subjacent wood is cut off, and
this is slipped under the raised bark, and the
top of it, which is cut off square, fitted nicely
to the top edge of the cross slit. A soft string
is wound around the whole to keep everything
in place. This is all of it. The following
spring cut off the branch above the bud and
let the latter grow TO the exclusion Of all other
buds. The peach Is not readily grated above
ground. but grows readily when grated on
Seeding stocks little below the surface of the
ground AS the peach comes into bearing in
three years, you could propagate your good
varieties by grating on seedlings, and this is
preferable to budding on the old trees. Cut off
tho Seeding two inches below the surface of
the ground and split the stump down an inch
from the top. In the split insert the graft as
follows; In early spring--last of February or
first or March-take a sprig of the previous
years growth with one or two good buds on it.
With very sharp knife make the lower end
edge-shaped and insert this wedge into the
slit. being careful to fit bark to bark. Ii the
slit clasps the wedge tightly nothing more
need be done but bank the earth around, leav-
ing only one bud above ground. III it does not
clasp it tightly bind with soft string and ther.
bank up. This string should be cut after
growth fairly begins.

r. T. r., Fredonla, Chambers county, Ala: l. I
have fine scuppernong vine which Is totally

to destroy them, but with no avail appeal to you
for remedy. . What is the best way to plant tur.
nips this time OF the year to make them yield a

same? & What is the best manure for watermelous
and when the best time to put the manure in the

/. You do not describe the bug, but we infer
it is an aphis, or plant louise. There are many
kinds of these One infests cabbages, another
cotton, and still another the young limbs Of
cherries and other fruit trees. Applying
strong decoction of tobacco is about the best
and most available remedy. 2. After blowing
and narrowing the ground SO as to get 1t very

very shallow drills-iust mark-sow seed in
these and run wheel over them to press them
in the earth--a wheelbarrow wheel will
answer-and finish by very light brushing or
another rolling. Turnip land should be ma
nured broadcast and heavily. Composts, phos-
phate, ashes and cotton-seed meal are all good /.
If limited to one thing. phosphate is perhaps
the most important \ little of this substance
should be put in the drill with the seed. But
most soils need good dressing of phosphate,
potash and nitrogen 10 make good turnips.
Cowpening piece of land, breaking it up two
or three times, and then putting some phos-
phate in the drill with the seed will rarely fail
OF bringing good crop of turnipS. 5. Water
melons call for complete manure, one con-
tanning phosphate, potash and nitrogen, and a
plenty of it. Cotton seed or cotton seed meal,
phosphate and kainit make good combina-
ton. These may be mixed in advance or may.
be put in hill and worked up with the soil
three or foE weeks before planting time
When cotton seed or meal, it is desirable TO
apply them long enough in advance for fer
mentaton to be well over before the melons
are planted.

SAVING THE BANK,
Barrels Of Gold Rolled In in Sight
Of DcpO~i,Ors stopped u Run.

Gen. Mike Ryan. in talking of the
Metropolitan Bank failure, told a good
story illustrating the power Of bluff 1t
was i'll connection with his assertion that
with little further aid from the other
banks in the city the Metropolitan might
be saved, he said:
81 have Il brother connected with Il
bank i'll Leavenworth, Kan. There are
two banks there, and the rival to that of
my brother was in shakv condition.
The President came to Matt and told
him the circumstances. and that if there
was Il run the bank would b. unable 10
stand it, Matt told him to keep a stiff
upper lip, for he knew that the failure
of the other bank meant the failure of
his own. He jumped Oh the train, went
to Kansas City, got $4,000 in coin
gold AMI silvcr-in barrels, ran back to
Leavcnworth with the specie, and got
half dozen drays to the depot to take
the barrels to the bank. Meantime the
crowd of depositors had begun to gather
Mt the bank demanding their money, and
the o!d man was talking to them to gain
time. All nj once they saw the drays
coming up, loaded down with these bar
rels. Matt was with the treasure, and
shouted out to the crowd TO wait about
five minutes and they'd get their money,
as it was there in the barrels.
'In unloading the barrels one of them
dropped and broke, so that through a
crack the anxious depositors could see
the shining gold, and as it rolled up tho
steps of the bank - gold pieces kept
dropping ont, and were picked mp by
the ianitor. When the coin WAS all rolled
in Matt came ont again and told all who
had money there to 90 in nnd get it, as
as the bank proposed to pay them all off
and start fresh, and didn't want such a
cowardly lot of depositors any way All
the time he was piling on the indigna-
ton he didn't want to be taken at his
word. as the bank had only S'O, 900 cash
on hand. against $4,000 of deposits
made. He had brought Si0,000, but
there was still shortage of $in,O00.
However, the game worked. The peo-
pie were reassured by the sight of the
barrels of coin and went away satisfied
The run was averted and the bank pulled
through all right.
