scion should be covered with wax and the
air entirely excluded.
There are other methods of grating ap-
plicable to very small trees or twigs, but il
is not easy to make them plain withou,
diagrams, and this is the plan most in use
and will answer for most cases.
In grating cherry trees and plum tree.
which have such bark as the birch, which
will coil up when it is broken, great care
should be used and these trees should be
operated on earlier than other trees, as after
the sap starts the bark will be so loose that
il will be dfficnlt to handle with safety.
Many failures on such trees result from
too late grating.
Apple and pear trees may be successfully
treated after the buds begin to swell, and
if the scions were not cut in the fall and
PR perly preserved It is safer to wait until
they show proof of life than to cut earlier
and take the chances of the BUS having
been killed during the winter.
Pear scons may be grated on the round
wood or mountain ash, or on the sugar
plum tree or shal bush When grating
small seedlings where the bodies are sawed
o # and grated, it should be dome near the
ground, as it often happens tina; the scion
is inclined to make a larger tree than the
one on which it is grated would have
been, and thus an enlargement at and
above the junction. And if this is near
the ground 1t may be covered up when the
tree is trausplanted and avoid the danger
of breaking over when the top enlsrges
Trees should not be grated the same sea-
sen that they are traDsplanted as the roots
want to be vigorous enough to start the
scion BY full flow of sap.
There is evidence that the stalk does in
some cases influence the fruit on the graft,
but whether this is general enough to be
adopted to toning down very sour apples
by grating in sweet apples, is yet ques-

By the report of K. Dodge. ststistician
Of the Department of Agriculture, Just now
issued. the number of sheep in the country
ia placed At "a 1886 072. showing an increase
of about one million and three quarters
over the number returned for last year. A
yet more satisfactory aspect of the situa-
ton is recognized in the fact that values
have also advanced. The reports notes that
local estimates for the present year quite
uniformly show an enlargement of num-
hers, and also an increase in prices, while
values of all other farm animals are de
Ginning And this is just what we have
foretold by way of encouragement to those
who have mistaken the past depression
in sheep husbandry for the begin
ming of the end of wool growing
in thu Unitsd States With an eye
upon fluctuations of wool values in times
past, and unfaserng faith that the genius
AMI pluck of American owners and inner
ent merits of their focks crowded all idea
of failure beyond the realm of probability.
We have urged all interested to 'hold fast
thai which is good as the speediest and
safes; escape from surrounding depression.
Without ignoring political considerations
we clearly saw, and sought to aid others in
seeing, that with sheep as with other domes-
tic aunlals--in fact with everything used
and Consumed by the people Of the country
there vas profitable future only for the
best of its kind. Scrub stock. weedy corn
fields. neglected wheat fields in hands of
the farmer, improviden. management on
part of manufacturers, careless trading
on part Of the merchant-the time
had gone by when any of these will not in
sure speedy bankruptcy. At the same
time there is profit for all who to the best
attaiasble facilities add that good Cuisines
sense" that sacrifices nothing TO negligence,
Yields nothing to opposition, and refuses to
be handicapped with inier.1r materials.
Taking series of years together, there
has been no live stock paying better profits
than sheep. and what has so long been the
rule is likely to find no variation through
future years. At the present rate of in
crease it will not take long TO rival the
sheep census OF 1884, in which the number
of animals reached its highest point. This
outlook gains additional interest in the fact
that the standard of merits in our focks is
