Principles of Grating.

Er1uC1p16S OI OTd1CluS.
A horticultural correspondent cOntri-
butes the following timely suggestion:
1t is surprising that SO few orchardists
understand the vital principle between
the graft and the scion. Grating, as
generally understood, is nothing but a
mechanical operation; there is little
thought about the scientific principles in
volved, except by the nurserymen, and
large orchardists, whose business de-
mands that they work over large guam
titles of trees every year; but among the
smaller orchardists it is really little un-
derstood consequently they have torely
entirely upon an expert to do their graft
ing, at prices which his knowledge iusti-
fes and demands. Whereas, ii the owner
of few trees understood the work in
hand dhimself-and there is no reason why
he should not-the wages paid to these
experts mightbe saved. Resides, he would
always be able to insert the scions at the
proper time, thereby insuring more gratis
and better unions.
The first requisite is a sharp knife to
cut the scions, which should have been
taken from the trees during pruning sea-
son. Only the well seasoned branches of
last years growth should be used, the
tender tips in all cases being discarded,
but not until ready for use; otherwise,
if cut off evaporation will ensue. The
scions, after being cut from the tree,
should be placed in damp-not wet
sand, with butts or cut ends placed in the
sand to the depth of three or four inches
and kept under cover until ready for use.
Should they sh DIV signs of willing, sprinkle
water on the sand. There is generally
but little trouble, however, unless in the
warmer counties; but around the bay,
where the atmosphere contains plenty of
moisture, little care is necessary.
Just before the sap commences to flow
top the trees to be grated at the height
you intend grating them, split the limbs
so cut with splitting knife, cutting in
just deep enough for the size of the scion
otherwise, If you allow your splitting
ehisel too much freedom, the pressure
which holds the scion will be lost. Make
as many cuts in each limb, according to
Its size, as you may wantt to insert sciOns,
and then wedge them so as to fit the cuts,
leaving two buds to each scion. If the
scion is we'll cut and faced and the whole
waxed over so as to exclude the air and
rain, you will experience no trouble except,
perhaps, from birds alighting on and
knocking off few of the scions you have
placed; but an ample number will be left
if plenty have been inserted. 1t is always
good plan to put in one-third more
scions than are really necessary to draw
on the tree, to allow for any accidents.
This is the common method of top-graft-

the presence Of an officer An offender
against the liquor license law or the Sunday
law cannot be arrested without a warrant
after his offense has been committed.
When the prisoner has been discharged on
recornizauce the officer cannot rearrest him
without new warrant; but if he escapes
while under arrest no warrant is necessary,
and he can even, if necessary, break open
the doors of his house to rearrest him.
WHEN PRIVATE PERSONS CAN ARREST.
The majority of authorities agree that
there can be no arrest for a misdemeanor
without a warrant, unless it amounts to q
breach OF the peace. A private person, too.
Is Justlhed In making an arrest without
warrant In cases of felony or very grave mis-
demeanors. In fact, his powers do not fall
lar snort OF those of the officer. A private
person may prevent the commission OF
crime on the same ground that an officer
may do so, and if he is killed Intentionally
while so doing, 1t is murder. But it is we'll
settled that private person cannot arrest
another on mere surmise or suspicion, let it
be ever so well grounded. 1t is not his duty
to arrest supposed felon-only one who
offsnds on view.
The law is not pool box, :" where favor
ties are played. The law preseryers are as
equally amenable to it as the criminal thew
seek if they oyerreach the limits confined to
them. 1t merely calls for decent consider
alton of each case on its merits and a recog-
milton of the general good intention and
real efficiency of the police. Their functions
are difficult aud dangerous. The criminal
is always ahead of the society he preys on,
and the officers too often have to make "a
stern chase, which is long chase" to
catch him. 7. j. FITZGERALL.
