Root-Grafted Apple Trees.

The preference OF nurserymen ioi
root-grafted apple trees comes from the
fact that by taking very small pieces Of
roots they can multiply stocks OF new
varieties much more rapidly than they
can by top-grafting where a young tree
however large, makes when grated only
a single stock. Root-grafting is also
largely done in winter or at other times
when outdoor work is impossible. The
young natural Seeding makes at first
usually larger growth the first year or
two. Here the advantages of top-grait.
ing end. The root-grafted tree. from the
TACT that its roots are more compact
bears transplanting better. and in a ~
years the variety is on roots of its own
50 as to insure symmetrical growth Of
the tree above ground. Old top-grafted
trees usually show where the union was
made by larger growth either above or
below II, and if the top is less vigorous.
the trunk below is filed with suckers
produced by sap, for which there is no
other outlet.

thinning Apples.

The Goblin moth and other enemies Of
the apple crop usually thin them enough
and possibly too much for profit. There
are, however, localities where no apples
grew last year, and here the trees may

thlns enough, though the tree will auto

lore the time for forming seed. These re-
]ected fruits are always the smaller and
poorer specimens. the best apples ap-

Feeding Flesh to Hops.

IL is a common practice where exten.
sive butchering business is carried on to
reed the offal to hogs. Pork thus made
Is not SO good as that made from grains,
and II there are any indications OF dis
ease IN animals, even though undevel-
oped' 1t may break out in hogs eating
such material. The rule that only herb
ana graln-ieeding animals are fit for food
is good one. The hog was by the Mo-
sac law pronounced unclean, and left to
himself, he will be. 1t is only as extra
care Is taken to prevent the hog from
to eat.

Inc common white grub is most often
lound In timothy meadows the second,
Shird or fourth year. The parent beetle
lays her egg just under the bulb of the
timothy plant at the surface of the
ground. Here the young grub finds his
hrst iood, and soon becomes large and
voraclous enough to destroy any crop
planted on an upturned timothy sod. 1t
is Just then, too, that the old meadow is
plowed up, because the farmer sees that
the timothy has run out, but does not
susP ect the cause. Crop such land the
hrst and second year with buckwhest
and seed with clover. That will starve
anything else.

He recommended that the Board pro-
vide medals of their own.
The report of the Superintendent was
adopted and his recommendations con-
Cured in. The names OF those report
ed qualified were formally declared
rracuates of the Wheeling schools.
Miss Hannchen Bonnheim, who, with
Miss Antoinette Reymann, had COM
Melted the German course, were given a
Mace on the commencement programme,
Miss Bonnheim to appear for Washing
ton school, which has no graduates this
year.
When the commencement matter was
under consideration, Mr. Miller made
some earnest and timely remarks, hav-
ing for their object the generally better
management of the commencement. lie
referred to the great disorder last year,
when many interesting events lost all
of their effect by reason of the noise. a
resolution was adopted, by the terms OF
which the Board agreed TO attend the
commencement, and President Jepson
urged that all the members attend.
Mr.. Miller referred TO the vacancy in
the Board of Examiners caused by the
death of c. II. Collier, and moved that
il be filed by the election of Prof. John
NJ. Birch. The election was made.
The Center Commissioners asked for
the confirmation Of Miss Fannie Nj.
Stanton aS second substitute, and 1t was
aGop,ed. Miss Annie Johnson, first sub
Stitu.e in Richie, was confirmed a
teacher 20 fill the vacancy caused
by death. In connection with this, Col.
Miller called attention to the fact that
in some rooms in the Richie School
there were but IA and - pupils, and he
thought il would be 4 good thing TO
consolidate some Of the rooms, notably
Division A, grades l aHd ,. One room
i'm the annex had but IL pupils. He
thought the matter called for action.
DR.. Pipes said the small numbers in a
Division were caused, very largely, by
sickness The system of grading was
also responsible for some of the inc
quality. Many of the rooms were over
flowing. Miss Johnson was confirmed.
Miss Stella Hull had been listed as a
ID teacher, when in reality she
was a c teacher. TIE error was ordered
rectifed.
c. L. Irwin sent in his resignation as
member of the Board from Madison,
and it was accepted. w. j. w. COwden
was named by Mr.. Hubbard as his sue
ceSSor, and he was elected to fill the
vacancy.
The Board took up the matter of the
school enumeration, and decided to
have four enumeration districts, the
First, Second and Seventh wards TO be
the first, the Third and Fourth for the
Second, the Fifth and Sixth to Twenty
ninth street the Third and all south of
Twenty-ninth street the Fourth dis
tSict.
EnumeratorS were then elected as
follows:
First-William Young.
Second-Frank NeSbitt.

After full discussion the hotel scheme
was abandoned as impracticable at the
present time. They have in contem-

other story, which will probably be
occupied by the Wheeling Business

has been laid oil in lots, and will be

ton of the city, if purchased now will
undoubtedly double its value in very
short time. Wheeling is growing rap
idly, and home sites are more scarce
and consequently more valuable. Capt.
