fruit trees should be grated first in
the spring; afterward the pear and
apple trees.
The tools are a saw, a pruning knife,
grating iron or wedge, a budding
knife, a pair of good pruning shears, a
Whetstone for the knives, bunch of
Raffia, bast, or wax-cloth for tying
scions in place after they are set; some
kind of grating wax, to cover wounds
and protect them from drying from
water or other Injury. This wax may
be composed Of four parts Of resin;
two parts beeswax and two parts mutt
ton tallow, melted together. When cold
1t can be applied by hand, or, If melted,
laid on with brush. The wax, melted,
Is also spread on cloth, which, when
cold, is cut or torn into narrow strips
and used to the small stocks after the
scions are set.
Scions from hardy trees should be set
while in a dormant state, Il 1m January
to the middle of March. But those
from slender stemmed plants, whose
wood is liable to injury by freezing,
should be cut early in autumn, and
heeled in, either in loam, sand or moss,
in moist pit or cellar. The wood of
such scions should be healthy, Of me-
dunn or fine texture, and thoroughly
ripe.

A Fruit House.

In some localities 1t is rather difficult
to secure a good cellar without con-
siderable work. Often draining by dig
ging trench Is necessary; and when
this Is the case it will often pay to
build a fruit house above the ground,
rather chan to run the risk of water
flooding in and damaging the fruit
and vegetables. A fruit house, If we'll
built, so as to be frost-proof, Is much
more convenient than cellar in many
ways, but good care must be taken in
doing the work If good results are to
be secured.
In building a fruit house writer
says that 2x6 inch studding will be
the best; that is, not less than this
should be used. They can be placed two
feet apart, and 1t is usually best to
brace the corners. Eight feet is plenty
high, and, in most cases, six will be
sufficient. 1t should be built close to
the ground, so that it can be banked
up readily on all sides. On the outside
rough boards can be nailed on first,
and over this a layer of tarred paper
or heavy straw paper, and then the
whole should be carefully weather.
boarded.
r. When it can be done Il will be best to
fill the space between the studding with
sawdust, taking care to fill in tightly
Rough boards can be nailed on the in
SIDE and over this tarred paper should
again be tackled
Overhead tight layer Of boards
should be put and on them good layer
of sawdust. A. chimney, or place for
ventilation, should be provided. Care
should be taken to make tight; the door
and ventilator should be all the open
ings. Good, close-fitting doors. one
to open outside, and one inside, will
help. Boxes or bins should be built in
side and about four inches away from
the wall. This will give air space be-
tween the wall and the fruit. To make
doubly sure, an old stove SET in the
room In which a Mttle fire may be made
in the severest weather will be found
a benefit, as very little fire will lessen
very materially the danger of damage
IA house OF this kind, In winter like
the last one, win keep fruit and vege-
tables without freezing, but In winters
such as we sometimes have little fire

Budding and Grafting.

Jackson Dawson read a paper on
Budding and Grating" at the meeting
Of the Massachusetts horticultural So
ciety. The object of the grating pro-
cesses, Mr.. Dawson said, Is to perpetu-
ate and multiply in the shortest time
possible trees and shrubs which do not
reproduce themselves by seed, or only
by very slow growth. There must ex-
ist an affinity between the stock and
the scion, or there can be no perfect
union. The stock should furnish sap
elaborate, but only to such amount as
those leaves can properly convert into
wood and fruit material; failure in
either Office will result in the death of
the scion. A stock suited to one tenn
perature cannet sustain a scion adapted
to either a. higher or lower temperature.
Again, where stock and a scion
naturally start into growth at different
times OF the year they cannot thrive
together. The best season for graft
ing out of doors is in the spring, when
the sap Is in motion-from March to
June. Under glass the best time is
from August to the end of September;
the same If half ripened wood is used,
but with dormant wood from December
to the end Of March. Midsummer
grating is rarely successful. In all

in a little more forward stage Of growth
