Grating Different Specics.

Barry, who is standard authority on
the subject, says: One species is fire.
quently grated with success on another
by which certain important notifications
are wrought upon both the size and fruit
fulness of trees and the quality of the
fruits. Thus we can graft in many cases
with beneficial results the peach and
apricot ON the plum, the pear on the
ounce, strong growing species and va
Tieties on weaker ones, and vice versa.
There must, however, be close ALI
ance between the stock and the graft.
We cannot graft an apple on a peach,
nor cherry on pear, but the individu-
ais of naturally allied group may with
more or less success, be worked upon one
another. Scions are usually cut in the
fall or winter and should be kept dor
mant until used but not in q place so
dry as TO shrivel the bark. They are
sometimes cut from the trees at the time
they are needed, but in such cases it is
best they should not be as forward as the
stalks In grating, the inner banks of
the scions and stalks must come into
close contact, and the operation should
Fbe performed in early spring, before
there is rapid movement of the sap,

Painting Bee Hives.

Hives containing bees can now be
painted on pleasant days with no incon-
venience to the inmates. Mrs. Harrison
says in The Prairie Farmer: The first
story of our hives is painted white, and
lead and oil are now in the honey house
to give them another coat. The second
story, OF cap,-is painted with venetian
red and the cover white. The white
paint is cooler than the red, rs it does not
draw the sun so much, and it is put where
it Is needed. Warmth is needed in the
second story during the time Of storing
honey, TO enable the bees to ripen the
honey and manipulate the wax.

The first figure is that of a vigorous
young nursery tree before digging.
showing the numerous strong roots
reaching some feet out. Careful exam
nations have shown that the roots of a
young tree fully equal or exceed in cX-
tent the branches of the top. Vt is inn
possible to preserve all these roots in
digging, especially after the tree is u
year and upwards old.
The usual practice is to thrust he
digger into the earth about as the en-
craving shows, and the larger part of
the finer roots too delicate really to
handle. stay back. Thus the trees bal
ancc in root and top is broken at the
nursery; it reaches the planter in the
top heavy condition Of Fig, >. Plant it
thus. as 50 generally is done, and the
root is not possibly equal to the task OF
supporting its entire top. The tree is out
of balance.
Fig 3 shows the same tree handled for
restoring the balance lost in digging,
through. pruning away enough Of the
top to correspond with the loss OF the
roots This is the course that all plant
ors should follow. Remember that the
soil needs thorough cultivation and en-

mer cruise off the Alaskan coast on Satur-
day next. Only the usual duties. so far as
known, are assigned to Captain Heaiy for
the cruise. He will prevent illegal sealing.

liquor traffic among Indians. Captain
Healy viii not learn the details of his Or

ported that the cutter Corwin will also go
North before long. The naval steamer
Alert is being fitted out for . cruise, and
the talk is that this vessel will also join the
feet of government vessels that will be in
Alaskan waters during the summer sealing
season. The United States man-of- var
Marion arrived at this port this afternoon
from Yokohama.
