Notes.

At the last meeting of the Florida Hor
ticultural Society, Robert A. Mells Of
Chulnota, Fla, in paper upon the Kaki
or japanese persimmon, gave the follow
ing interesting facts regarding the graft
ing of that fruit upon the American ma
tive stock: My choice of all the pro-
cesses for propagating the Kaki is root
grating on native persimmon stock, and,
if possible, where the native tree comes
up, and best sizes are from one-half to
one and half inches in diameter at the
crown. 1t is not a serious objection if
they stand within foot of each other, or
the roots can readily be transplanted i'll
grove form, and when the leaves are Off
and at the end Of the following year root
grated. Graft will grow if put in from
November until the leaf-buds begin to
swell on the native persimmon. kakis
''leave out' in this portion of Florida
later than the native trees. The grating
IS so simple process that even novice
may succeed with very little previous eX-
perience. After selecting the stock to be
grated, it is cut or sawed off at the
ground or below the surface if the ''stOcli"
is long enough to allow splitting and in
serting the graft. The graft should be
cut wedge shape, the slopes about three
fourths OF an inch long, leaving more
bark on the TO be- split stock Then
place piece of old cloth or paper over
the top Of The stock and heap damp earth
on it, just covering the top Of the graft.
Grating wax is not required.
Frank Phillips, a neighbor and ex-
pert nurseryman, has adopted the plan
OF cutting the stock TO be grated at an
angle Of forty-1ive degrees, cutting the
sharp end square Off about the width Of
the graft and then applying grating
wax, as he usually gratis above the
ground. His theory is that the sloping
cut will heal quicker than a horizontal
one. | have adopted the slanting cut
when grating Kakis, emitting the graft
ing wax, as | prefer the root graft and
damp earth, but apply crude pine gum,
using the cloth or paper for protecting
the split from the soil falling into it until
the healing takes place. Crude pine
gum is a valuable application to freshly
pruned trees or to large limbs taken off
when they are to be transplanted.) IN
this vicinity one fruit-grower has planted
out twenty acres to kakis and several
others have from few hundred to a
thousand or mOre.'

To hive swarm of bees successfully,
and in a systematic manner, requires
presence of mind, coClness of nerves and
fearlessness. To note the vast difference
of the ways in which bees are hived
throughout the country would be anus
ing. think it is sufficient to point out
the correct way.
It is the usual custom on discovering a
swarm leaving the hive TO begin throw
inc water on them; this / do not do.
When / see a swarm in the air, | at once
set about to prepare the hive for them.
If know which hive they have come out
of | remove it to new location and set
the new one in its place, and spread on
the ground just in front of 1t sheet
doubled twice.
The hive should contain a full set of
frames, with a narrow strip of foundation
az starter, and if it is during q good
honey flow and after the surplus arrange
ments have been put on, l would remove
the latter from off the old hive and place
swarm has settled. If low enough, /
sprinkle them a little to prevent them
from flying when Jared.
Now get your swarming basket Il find
that one holding half bushel is the
most conveniently; to the handle of this
tie pole; a piece of pine an inch and a
half or two inches square is just right.
Now reach up with the apparatus Just
described and place the basket under the
cluster; the end of the handle should ex-
tend beyond the basket foot or so:
strike the limb on which the bees have
settled a sharp blow, at the same time
keeping the mouth of the basket where
the bees will fall into it. If the first jar
is hard enough, the queen will fall into
the basket, together with the larger por-
ton of the bees. Hold the basket in the
same position until the bees have settled,
and if any settle on the limb, continue to
| Jar it until they have all settled in or on
| the basket.
You now have them captured and can
| do ANYTHING YOU want with them. / have
! carried a swarm mile in this shape with
out any trouble. If your hive is in read.

Systematic Labor on the Farm

may entail "a loss, butt in systematic ar

1t doesn't take the cable long enough
to transport four cars across the bridge to
open the door for mOnotony on the trip.
In the rush" hours standing room is at
a premium, and the number of passengers
who can crowd into a car and still leave
space for the proverbial lone more is
something astonishing. Not often does
anything like loss of temper occur on the

on Saturday night it is reasonably certain
that there will be among the passengers at
least one man. part of whose week 5

At that early hour he has scarcely made
violent dissipation of it, and yet he has
not allowed much time to elapse bttween
