This is true with the seed in it's natural

is different. The short staple seed have
been partially decorticated and contain
only about Is or 20 per cent. of hulls.
The long staple seed have also been par
TALLY decorti;ated, but the hulls being
thinner the process has not been so sue
cessful, and about 20 or 25 per cent. of
hulls remain in the meal. This no doubt
accounts for the difference of $3. II in the

ting half way through the lowest point of
the bel.d with an upward stroke of the
knife from the under side, and fastening
it securely in place with astout peg about
four inches under the ground. Should the
bush be tall with but few branches near
the ground, the whole top may be bent
over to the ground and secured there,
when nearly all the branches will be
brought into position for treatment.
Next, a portion Of the roots may be
separated from near the trunk and an
inch or so be turned up to the surface of
the ground. Good plants can be obtained
in this way. Cuttings will also strike if
the half ripened wood is used, and they
are put in very wet and partially shaded
situation, but they require great deal of
care in the after handling, if good plants
