Grating Oranges.

feet adaptahiity TO the atmospheric and
other cultural conditions obtaining in
the tropics, is said to recommend ITSELF
above all other modes Of grating to the
non-profcs 7ional operator. marching
has been before referred to in the pages
OF the Magazine in connection with the
propagation of mangOes, and on recent
visit 10 India we saw the process most
successfully Carried on in the neighbour
hood of Romby and Peona. DIR. Nichols,
in his work on "TrOpical Agriculture"
mentions marching as the most certain
of all kinds of grating, and as being ex
tensively employed in the West lndi s
FIR the multiplication Of plant Of the bet
ter kind of maDgOes. La the Bulletin of
the Botanical Department of jamaica,
issued last April, the following descrjp-
tiOn of the method is given:
Procure seeding orange plants, sweet
or sour, one to two years old, from the
thickness of a goose quill to half an inch
in diameter. Place them singly III good
soil, well compressed in bamboo pots
and nurse them until properly establish,
ed. They will then be ready as stocks on
which to march the improved or favorite
variety. Tie each pot separately to a
branch of the favolite, strong enough to
ibear it up, and at the same time, at
point from which the middle portion Of
the stock can easily, and without much
pressure, reach and lie parallel to tv ig
or small branch of the tree of or about
the same diameter. The operator should
now cut away leaves and spines, if pres
ent, at and near to the point on the stock
above Indicated, and then with sharp
thin bladed knife cut out Of both stock
and scion longitudinal slice, from two
inches to two and one-half inches or even
three inches long, gradually deepening,
about the middle of each cut, to near the
pth or half diameter, at the same time
taking care that the cuts may be so
straight and in width, at least, equal, so
as to readily allow their surfaces to meet
without resorting to too much force. SO
important is it that tie cuts on both
stock and scion should be, at least, of
the same width that theoretically the
corresponding inner Or lower edges Of
their barks should, when opposed, come
into intact; and with the beginner it will
be as wei for him to consider this as be-
ing absolutely essential to success Hay
ing thus fitted stock and scion, they
should now be bound together with
threads of cotton or worsted, or with
sbreds of calico or bast fibre. The tying
material must not be drawn so tightly as
to either cut into or bruise the bark, the
object being merely to keep the edges of
the wounds in contact. In addition to
such ty ing, it is nearly always necessary
to wrap the wounds with shreds of cali
co, previously saturated with a solution
of wax, oil, ETC., purposely to keep out
rain as well as to exclude desic Eating air.
Procure equal weights of bees wax and
common res'n. To a quarter of a pound
of each add teaspOOnful of cocoanut
oil, or even animal fat put into a vessel
and boil. This must be done CLOSE to the
tree on which the operation is being per-
formed. The shreds of calico should be
one inch wide, and long enough to thor

Florida Haws for Apple Butter.

The native thorn apple, plum and
grape make excellent fruit buffers, be-
sides iellies, preserves, ETC., that can be
made quite source Of income; and now
friend Cambell wants us to feed them to
his hogs. For apple butter take one-hali
yellow haws and the other half plums, or
grapes, or both. Cook them and then
run them through colander to remove
the seeds. Sugar and boil the mass, and
you will have apparently as good apple
butter as can be boughtat the store, aud
very much better than that shipped from
Northern factories, where they say it is
made OF turnips colored and flaw, red.
The trees do best for me planted in the
hollow where orange trees will not grow,
