can buy either one or two-year-old plants

price. As a general thing, however, it is
best to buy one-year-old plants, but some
growers prefer the two-year-old. We are

tions of manure than level plots. The
best time to haul manure is when the
farmer has less work to do in some other
direction. Highly as manure is valued =,
its cost in hauling is sometimes greater
than the value of its plant food, and the
hauling and spreading is therefore the
most costly and most important item con-
neCted with it, the distance, kind Of ma
nure, actual value of the manure and
facilities for handing it having their eff
feet on the value of the whole, and af-
fecting the results to be derived from it.
1t has been demonstrated, however, that
the majority of farmers can handle ma
nure and spread it on the fields in the fall
at less cost than at any other season of
the year
Manure can deteriorate in quality while
in a heap as well as when washed by
rains or dried by the sun. Some farm
ors prefer to plow their land and harrow
the manure in. but this necessitates the
hauling over plowed land. Others spread
the manure and then plow with a one
horse pillow, while many simply spread
the manure on the surface and allow it
TO remain. If there is no danger from
rains carrying away the soluble mate
rial the spreading on the surface will be
satisfactory, but ii is a risk. Manure
can be used on wheat land in the fall, for
next years crop to the best advantage,
but if it is to be applied elsewhere it will
pay to work it into the top soil in some
manner, even if with only a cultivator,
as there is sure to be a loss of soluble and
volatile matter if exposed on the surface
throughout the winter, and until the
land is plowed in the spring
Advanced farmers now use their ma
nure in the fall and apply fertilizers in
the spring. PhOsphates are applied in
the tall, however. along with the manure,
in order to allow more time for solubility
before spring. heterogeneous fertilizers
and potash being more soluble arc APP
piled in the spring. The question TO be
considered, however, is whether the
farmer is willing to give his manure in
the heap his attention in winter. II he
can do so he will reduce his manure to a
fine condition, and have IL suitable for
early crops, but il the manure in the heap
is to receive no care, no handling or turn
ing over. il will be better TO spread that
now on hand on land that requires it the
most, and begin another heap with the
materials which are to be added in the
future. Fertilizers are available at all
times. and need not be applied, if pre-
ferred, until the occasion arrives for
their use

well. A little quicker growth can often
be secured by cutting the bark near one
or more buds. Roots will start out in a
reasonably short time, and by fall the
limb can be cut from the parent plant.
With certain varieties of plants, like tho
ounce, currant, EOOseberry, aud some
Others this is one of the best and most
convenient ways of propagation. With
strawberries the easiest way of propaCat-
ing is by runners, and with little care
all of the plants needed for ordinary
planting can be readily secured.
Budding can be done now and can be
kept up until the latter part of Septem-
Der. Where varieties have failed To do
well budding affords a good means of Sc
curing good varieties without entirely de-
stroying the tree, and in this way losing
the growth already made Budding may
be done on very young trees as on those
that have come into bearing ANY one
with little practice can soon learn to
bud with safety. Grating can be done
during the winter. The sticks can be Sc
cured by sowing the seeds in the spring
The limbs for grating can be cut in the
fall and after the leaves fall and can be
stored where they will keep moist, ana
the grating can be done during the
winter, forking the CRAFTS in sand and
setting out as early in the spring as the
condition of the soil will allow it.

they should be well watched during the
winter. Much of the wood in pruning

"Texas Jack" was locked up in the
Seventh District Station-house last night.
The desperate character had been capt
ured by brave Officer Stone, and the latter
was as proud of his capture as hen is of
it's first egg. Stone was patrolling his
beat at Third and Green streets when he
noticed suspicious-looking figure crawl
over a back fence on Green street. The
figure on the fence wore heavy boots, into
which were tucked embroidered velvet
trousers. A short velvet coat, wide
sombrero, and belt, with cleaning re-
volver and knife, completed the costume.
The face was covered by thick mask.
The figure jumped down to the pave
meDt and was quickly caught in the
firm grasp of Officer Stone. Here, un-
hand me, cur!'' shouted the captive.
"know you not that [ am Texas Jack?"
Stones heart beat faster as he realized
the importance of his capture, and he
hastened his pace considerably. He
dragged his prisoner before Sergeant
Brown, the Station-house, and said la
conically: "Texas Jack-suspicion of rob-
berry. Take off your mask" ordered the
Sergeant, sternly. The prisoner prompt
ly obeyed, and displayed the tear-wet
face of an over-grown boy. II didn't do
