WHOLE AND PIECE ROOT GRAPHING.

A study of whole and piece root graft
ing has been begun at the Illinois Station.
For this purpose more than 1000 gratis
were put up and set, though many of
them failed to grow. Advocates of the
whole root method claim as its greatest
advantage that the graft is set on the
collar of the seeding tree, that there
alone is the natural place for union be-
tween the trunk of the tree and the root.
and that to put the graft on any other
part of the root must necessarily make a
less perfect union and consequently a
poorer tree in the nursery and less en-
during and perfect orchard tree. Many
of them do not advocate the use Of the
whole root, as one would naturally be
led to suppose, but what is usually
called the upper cut, five to six inches
long, from the collar down.
AS reported by Messrs. Burrill and
McCluer, station horticulturists, theT have
used roots in various forms, from whole
roots ten inches long, to roots cut into
pieces of different lengths, with cions
set two inches above the collar, on the
collar and two inches below the collar.
The conclusions from one years work
are: The whole root has no advantage
over a piece root Of the same size. (Size
refers to both length and thickness.)
Roots with small side branches left on
gave better results than roots of the same
size with the rootlets cut away.
Roots five inches long gave better re-
suits than roots four inches, two inches
or one inch long.
Roots five inches long, not trimmed,
gave nearly as good results as roots ten
inches long.-New York World.

SWEET CORN.

Sweet corn has many uses besides fit
ness es table delicacy. Animals like
1t much better than field corn, even as
men and women do. Sweet corn will
be useful to feed cows when the grass
begins to fail in the late summer, and will
make milk and butter equal to that pro-
duced by June grass. 1t is alao the next
thing to milk for fattening young pigs.
Chickens are very fond of it and do well
on it. But it will not do for the silo.-

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Perennial phloxes are growing in pop
ularity.
Lilacs may be propagated by means of
grating.
If you want fine specimens thin out
severely the tree fruits.
Over-crowding animals is the surest
way of inviting disease.
Bran comes nearer being a complete
stock food than anything else.
If flies infest the stable scatter some
chloride of lime and observe its effect.
For pear scab, spray the affected tree
repeatedly with the Bordeaux mixture.
High priced clothes and low priced
cattle will not pay the mortgage on the
farm.
Corn silage, with gluten meal and
bran, is an excellent ration for feeding
beeves.
The California privet may be propo-
gated by cuttings planted IN the open
ground.
Stock owners should be moro inter-
ested in preventing disease than in seek
ing cures.
Those who took their bees out of
winter quarters latest this year did best.
May 20 proved to be the best time.
Recently mare foaled unattended in
a freight car and got along all right.
The train was running thirty miles an
hour.
A horses memory is as long as his
life, and this makes the lessons he first
learns of the utmost importance, as he
never forgets them.
For young animals, wheat bran is a
good food, as it combines all the ele-
ments of hay and corn, and the sugar
it contains renders it easily digestible.
To prevent bees from stealing the
wax from gratis wrap thin paper around
the wax when it is first put On. By
having the paper whito the wax will be
cooler.
1t is to the apiaiists' interest to build
up a market at home, even If he only
gets the price at which honey is sold in
the large cities he saves the cost of
transportation.
Those who plant strawberries in July
or August can expect a small crop OF
very fine berries next spring. But they
should be well cared for during the sum-
mer and fall and we'll MANFRED as winter
sets in.
Glover or grass land newly plowed
is not good for strawberries. Ths red
headed grub is abundant in such land,
and he is no aid to strawberry culture.
Wait till the sod is well rooted before
putting out strawberry plants.
The French have found that the
Jersey and Devon cattle are less liable to
disease than the Durhams, and this may
account in part for the fact that there Is
an apparent increase in the number Of
these cattle used in Paris diaries.
Buckwheat is an excellent food,
enabling the COWS to produce superior
quality of milk. Being very rich in
nitrogen, many farmers prefer the bran
of it to that Of wheat. Tie kernel Ii
known to be more valuable than that OF
wheat or oats.
The intelligent dairyman must study
necessarily. Every cow has her peculi.
artities, which must be considered, and
adaptations made in food and treatment.
Success in almost everything is won by.
attention to details, and this is particu-
larry true of dairying.

PAsTuRING MEADOWS.

Whether or not the quantity of feed
secured by pasturing the meadows after
its crop of hay has been harvested viii
make up for the damage done is, to say
the least, questionable. This is es-
pecially the case when the summer Is
hot and dry, and the regular pastures
are cropped down and the meadows
in consequence furnishing nearly or
quite all of pasturage are eaten down
close.
A fair growth of top in summer pro-
tects the roots in summer as well as in
winter, and this is taken away, done By
pasturing.
Some food is, of course, secured and

that neck of the woods, Stiles can pro-
duce him in twenty-four hours"
That is what the United States mar
shall said to The special agent of the Trea-
sury Department, who had come West in
Seach of Mr.. Hamilton de Vries, alb
sconding bank president. The latter,
unwlttingly, had got himself into trouble
with Uncle Sam, as well as with the au-
thorities CT his State, and was, there
fore, in surer way to get into the hands
of justice than if he had been careful not
to tamper with the patience of the long
suffering uncle aforesaid.
The marshal was so certain of his
deputy'a ability to lay hands of MIR. de
Vries if, as the special agent believed,
the ex-bank president was sojourning in
said deputy's neighborhood-that the
agent, who was only human, and, be-
sides, had no persc nal interest in the
matter, left the affairs, for the present,
in the marshal's hands and proceeded to
take life as easily as possible while he
might was much better than going,
partly by stage or horseback, into wild
and woolly region after a man who
might not be there, after all.
While the special agent, who had been
up late the night previous, yawned and
stretched, preparatory to leaving to re-
turn to his hotel, the marshal wrote a
telegram to be sent to the deputy who
looked after the three ''tough" counties
in the southeast corner of the State.
''Here, Ball take this to the Office, will
you?" And to Uncle Sans emissary he
remarked: "Now, then, that's settled.
StlesIl have him by Saturday, if he's
there"
When the marshal appointed Bob
Stiles deputy, and assigned to him the
duty of attending to the three south
east counties, he knew what he was
about. He had always been firm be-
lever in the truth of the old saying that
sit takes a thief to catch thief" On
the same principle, he held that it re-
quired bad man to handle bad men ;
and in making his appointment for
Jones, Elkhorn and Antelope Counties,
he had no hesitancy In selecting Mr..
Stiles, whose application for the position
was Endorsed by many leading citizens
not because they were keen to see Bob
get the place, but because he asked them
to indorse him, and refusal to do so
involved possible, indeed, probable, IN
pleasant consequences.
Yes, Bob Stiles was, undeniably bad
man. Not that he had ever MADE him
self amendable to the law--at least, not
that anybody knew of-but he had
blood-stained obituary list of persons
who had disagreed with him, and
beautiful disregard for the consequences
Of anything he chose to do; and he
chose to do some very peculiar things,
especially when he had over-indulged in
his favorite intoxicant, which was quite
frequently. When Mr.. Stiles was not
engaged in his official duties, his avoca-
aon was that of gambler, and he was not
an prescriptions one, either; in fact, l
am obliged to confess, albeit with much
reluctance, that Mr.. Stiles enjoyed

a few minutes respite from tue emu CudL,
Bob could see, was so near. Her wasted
hands rested on the heads of two little
children who were crying softly, in their
uncomprehending way, in sympathy with
the broad -shouldered man who, with his
arms about the dying one, aslf to hold
her back from the awful shadows, was
sobbing his heart out.
"Oh, Sue, CANT let ye goI Don't

"Don't, Tom," came in weak voice
from the form on the bed. ''1t's dretful

The man only sobbed and nodded his
head. The slight form his arms elapsed
was shaken by fit of coughing that was
awful to hear, and the deputy marshal,
whose cheeks were wet with unwonted
tears, murmured: "Poor thing; oh, poor
thing"
Then the weak voice continued:

One day not long ago an old soldier
was telling some of his experience dur
ing the war and also of some miraculous
escapes from death that he had wit
messed. II saw a fellow shot clean
through the body by q shrapnel shell
within an inch of his heart" he said.
"The shell came out behind and killed a
mule, but the poor fellow that was
struck only gasped a little for air and
then he kept on fighting just as fresh as
ever" The room became very quiet
and several looked toward Tangle, who
was present.
Tangle arose and looked m%editatively
around. II saw something of the same
kind as that" he began. 1T was at one
of the first engagements we had when
we went to the front. There was a
soldier who stood right beside me
struck square in the head with a twelve
pound cannon bah, and, gentlemen, he
never knew it." The old soldier who
had told the first story looked a little
sheepish, and several laughed a little.
But" some one thought to inquire,
didn't it kill himfo Tangle looked up
a little bit surprised "Oh, yes, GER
tainly it killed him" he replied, "But
then maybe it was all for the best. He
might have lived to tell the story. It's
probably just as WELL" he added, look
