Grating. Budding and marching.


The farmer and market gardeners gen
eral method Of propagation is from seed;
the florist pre-eminenty cuttings, while
to the nurseryman and fruit growers one
OF the styles Of grating is the most inn
portant. It can hardly be called nature
method, although many cases are on
record of apparent grating of one part of
one tree to that of another without any
known agency of man. Grating is in
reality nothing more than slip or cut
ting, which, instead of being put into the
earth to form roots, is Cleverly made to
fit into the stem of another plant or tree
usually of the same species or family to
unite, and, as 1t were, became part of the
same But in this case each continues an
Independent existence, the part proceed
ing from the cutting or graft after it's
kind, while that from the stalk below
after its kind. Sometimes the graft is
materially affected by the stock on which
it is grated, and thus we get dwarfs IN
apples, pears, etc.
Budding Is not different from grating,
except one eye or bud is used and in
serted under the bark of another, and
thus reproduces the kind from which the
bud was taken. Although chiefly used
in fruits. roses and a few other plants,
many curious in these things, unite by
grating the tomato on the potato, melon
on the cucumber and other fancies more
curious than useful
marching is a combination of the layer
ing and grating, and consists simply in
bringing two plants together in such
way that a shoot of one may be joined to
another, the original stalks of each re-
ceiVing sustenanCe from their own roots
until a union takes place, when, on sepa-
ration, the new plant of an improved kind
is made to grow on the common stalk
Of an old or easily cultivated kind. 1t is
rarely used outside Of the gardens Of
botany or amateurs, and sometimes for
camelias and other plants among florists

The following summary is taken from
United States bulletin No. 10:
/. Twenty-four years ago a plum was in
troduced into California from Japan,
which proved to belong to a species here
tofore unknown in America. It was first
fruited by the late John Kelsey of Berke-
ley, Cal, and for him it was named It
began to attract wide attention about ten
years ago.
,. This plum belonged to the species
prunus tribora. which is supposed to be
native to China, but which is unknown
in a wild state. Subsequent fmportations
have been made from Japan, and at
the present time about thirty are more
or less known and disseminated
5. These Japanese plums are distin-
guished from the common domestic plums
by their generally more pointed or heart
shaped fruit, which has a deep groove or
suture upon one side, by a longer keeping
flesh and generally a less winged pit In
other botanical features they differ, COM
monty bearing three or more winter buds
at a joint instead of one, in the light col
ored rough bark, flowers, usually in twos
or threes, leaves long oboVate or elliptic
and finally serrate. They are closely al
lied in botanical characters to some types
of native plums.
f. The nomenclature of the varieties is
much confused, largely because the Japa-
nese names are used for groups or classes
and not for specific varieties; and there
is no uniformity even in the generic aopli-
cation of these names. 1t is essential TO
an exact understanding of this fruit
therefore, that the japanese class names
be discarded in this country
8 While importations from Japan have
been made freely, there are probably
many more good varieties in that country
which have not reached America, but we
must look for most permanent progress
in the future from American offspring
6. The Japanese plums differ among
themselves greatly in hardness. The
Kelsey is adapted only to the states south
of Virginia and to the warmer parts of
the Pacific coast, but other varieties are
fully hardy in parts of Connecticut, on
tario, New York and Iowa.
Z. The varieties now known to be hardy
in the plum regions Of New York are Bur-
bank, Abundance, Willard, Ogon, Satsuma,
Chabot, Yosebe Berger and others give
promise of being as hardy as these.
s. The period of ripening of the various
kinds extends over long season, running
in New York from the middle of July to the
middle of September. The same variety
does not always appear to ripen at the
same period in successive years. This is
especially true of the Kelsey, which some
times varies through a period Of three
variety which has been tested appears to
be Willard, followed closely by Ogon, then
Abundance, and Berckmans, and Burbank

cruiser Alabama, in the War of the Re-
bellion, at Cherbourg, in France, on June
10, 1864. 1t was one of the most bitter
naval battles OF modern times. Both OF
the combatants went into action with
their vessels protected by chained cables
hung along their sides.
The Kearsarge, commanded by Captain
j ohm a. Winslow, was heavier metal In
every way than the Alabama, and Cor:-
IN ander Semmes, recognizing that his
We ssel would never come out OF the action
afloat, had taken the precaution to send
his chronometers and all movable yalu-
sables on shore before leaving the harbor.
France being a neutral power, of course
the fight could not take place within the
three-mile limit, and both vessels
steamed slowly out to the required dis
tance before a gun was fired. Semmes
evidently intended to make the most
desperate fight of his life, depending for
his vessel TO outmaneuver his enemy.
The Alabama was one of the Heetest
vessels in her class, having been built by
Laird OF Liverpool, on plans devised to
enable her TO Outsail any OF the blockade
runners which were being turned off the
very same stocks by the wholesale.
The fight, which was witnessed by
enormous crowds of people from the pier
heads at CherbOurg and from the sur
rounding nights, did not last long, and in
less than three hours the Kearsarge had
battered the terror of the seas' into an
unshapely, water-logged hulk, which
speedily settled to the bottom OF the
British Channel, never to be resurrected.
The Alabama lost her funnel early in
| the engagement. but the shot which de-
cided the conflict struck the hull below
| the water-line in the vicinity of the stern
post, injuring the screw and rudder so as
| to make them useless.
Semmes. it will be remembered, es-
capped to England at the last moment by
boarding Lord Alfred Paget's steam
yacht, the Deerhound, which had been
lowering about the vessels during the
! fight.
The charge was afterwards made that
the Deerhound had deliberately violated
the neutrality law by this action, but as
there was nothing to prove that her
| owner had any connection with the Brit
ish Government, the matter was finally
dropped.

ARE THEY q. S. EMPLOYEES

Union Pacific Employees Claim if So
They Should Work Eight Hours.
OMAHA, Feb. S.-The Union Pacific
employees are about to raise the question
whether if, as Judge Dundy says, they
are employees OF the United States Court,
they ought not to be paid on the basis of
the United States working day of eight
hours, instead of on a corporate basis of
ten to sixteen hours.
Eugene Debs. President of the Ameri-
can Railway Federation, thinks this po-
sition can be maintained, and it is under
stood will work to this end.
KEoKUK Iowa, Feb. s.-The Union
Pacific receivers applied to Judge Wool
son in the Federal Court to put in force
in Iowa an order similar to that issued
by Judge Dundy in Nebraska relative
to striking employees. Judge Woolson
declined, as none of the Iowa employees
had struck and were not represented in
court. He affirmed the ruling that the
men are now employees of the receivers,
and that the receivers have right to pro-
mulgate any wage schedule which the
Judge approves. The employees may
quit the service, but not in such a man
ner as to interfere with the operation of
the road. The Judge reserves TO any en-
ploye the right to come into court and
have his complaint Investigated and rem
edied.

SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Their Possible Attitude With Refer
enco to the Tariff,

Their Possible Attitude With Refer
ence to the Tariff.
WAsHIN GToN, Feb. 8.-The possible
attitude of the silver Republicans with
reference to the tariff bill has been the
theme of considerable talk about the SEN
ate siuce the Wilson bill reached that
body. Inquiry develops the fact that
they will, without exception, oppose the
bill for two reasons. They are protection
lists in principle. and some of them think
if the tariff could be allowed to remain as
at present it would be in the interest of
silver. They argue that if the tariff is
changed and hard times continue, many
will be disposed to find in this change the
cause of the depression; whereas, if the
tariff is allowed to remain as it is, and
times do not improve, it will at once be-
come apparent that the tariff had not
caused the dullness of trade, and people
may be led to believe it was due to the
scarcity of money. While, however, the
silver Republican Senators will oppose
the bill, will vote against it, and will
make special efforts to defeat clauses
bearing upon the special interests of
their respective States, it is probable
some of them will not aid their Republi-
can colleagues in securing delay upon the
passage OF the bill.

Run Over by a Dummy and His Body

SAN Francisco, Feb. 8.-J. T. de Boyce,
one of the laborers working in the Park,
was killed on the corner of II street and
Seventh avenue this morning at 7:15
o'clock by one of the trains of the Park
and Ocean Railroad. The unfortunate
man was one of gang employed near
the Park Water Works, and was walking
along the railroad track. When near the
Olympic Club grounds he heard the rum
BILE of train behind him. Knowing that
the trains generally run on the right-hand
track, he stepped over on to the other
never looking back at the train. Unfor-
tunately for him the train was on the left
hand side. and he stepped directly into it's
path. Before the engineer could put on
his brakes and reverse the engine De
Boyce was struck by the cow-catcher and
hurled to the ground. Before the engine
could be stopped he had been dragged
some distance and mangled to such an
extent that his remains were almost un-
recognizable.
De Boyce was so years of age, and re-
sided with his wife and three children at
16S Folsom street.

FRESNO, Feb. 8.-Judging from the
news received this evening from the
mountains of Tulare, the course of the
notorious bandit Chris Evans and his
partner, Ed Morrell, will soon be run.
About o'clock Tuesday evening part
of Sheriff Scott's posse surprised Evans
and Morrell at one of their hiding places,
between Camp Badger and Sequoia Mills,
and the bandits, who had done so much
boasting. fled hastily in their shirt
sleeves, not even taking time to fire a
shot at their pursuers.
After the encounter at Slick Rock last
Sunday, Sheriff Scott went at once to
Camp Badger, and, with posse and two
others engaged in the vicinity, took the
trail and persistently pursued it.
The posse engaged in scouting the ter
ritory above Camp Badger was composed
Of two squads. acting in concert. One
party was searching a thick growth of
manzanita chaparral and scrub oak that
makes such tangled mat of those hill
sides that it is almost impossible to crawl
through it. The squads found narrow
trail that had been cut out where the
growth was thinnest, and finding tracks
there they knew at once they were on the
trail of the bandits, as they were satisfied
they were in the vicinity. This narrow
trail was cut out underneath the bushes,
so that the officers had to crawl to get
through.
About quarter Of a mile from the
Camp Badger road they broke through
this tangled brush, and as they did so
VIII Henry saw Evans and MoIrell in
their shirt sleeves. Logging it away from a
well-hid hut under a cliff into the copse
on the other side OF the canyon. They
fired three shots after them, without
effect.
Further pursuit at the time was impos-
sible, it being too dark, so the officers in
vestigated the hiding place of the bandits.
The cabin, which was hid under an over
hanging rock and by the scrub growth,
was built of rough lumber, evidently OBJ
tanned from Moore e Smiths mill by
some sympathizers and brought to the
proper point on the grade and packed
down TO the bottom of the canyon. In it
they found blankets, rubber and cloth
overcoats and over 500 rounds of ammu
milton and a large quantity of provisions.
They also found Evans false hand, which
the bandit claimed was of so much serv-
ice to him.
The fugitives managed to get away
with their Winchesters. but all the am
munition they had was that in their belts.
After taking possession of the ammuni-
tion left by the bandits the cabin was de-
stroyed.
The posse resumed the trail the follow
ing morning, and followed the bandits to
Estrom Valley, across it and up the
mountains.
1t is almost certain they will be run
down within day or so.
Sheriff Scott and Deputy Miles re-
turned to Reedly to-day, exhausted by
the rough trip.
