the grapes are desirable, but by the second
season full crop will be produced. and
there will be no longer room for any doubt.
Grating grapes is valuable in doing
away with old. worthless kinds The de
struction of vineyards al one time because
the art of grating was not understood
would be crime in these days. No matter
how worthless the stocks may be in the
quality of fruits they produce, they are
invaluable to the vineyardist who under
stands his work. He can graft new Va
rieties on them and in two seasons reap
a fine crop of delicious fruit. 1t is even
proposed to graft the improved varieties
upon the wild grape vines that flourish ia
our sWamps. Something like this was done
recently on Long Island. A small swamp
was so ovcrgrown with wild grape vines
that the trees and bushes were nearly
crowded out of existence. An enterprising
vineyardist bought the swamp, cleared
out good deal of the brush, fenced it in,
and then proceeded to graft new varieties
of grapes on the old vines. In few years
he was reaping the benefits of his genius
in large crops of salable grapes.
Many of our modern varieties of grapes
II is like waiting for eternity to come
to watch for them TO produce paving
crop. The easiest way to do is u sraft
them upon robust stock, and they viii
invariably produce large crops in a short
time The vigOr of the stock will force
them into rapid growth that they never
show when planted cuttings.
Moreover grated grapes invariably i'm
crease their fruitfulness, especially If
good. STOCK IS selected ana the Work
of grating is properly done. II is this
last advantage that makes many vine
yardists adopt this method of propaisi-
ton with all of their grapes The stocks
IL properly handled and pruned can be
made to increase in size and visor without
losing their vigOr and vitality. The stocks
will soon show signs of decay, and it
will become necessary to start new plants
from their ~oots or cuttings. A great deal
of ignoI in handling grape stocks
is displa even by those who pretend
to be d al gVineyardists.
Many OF our grape vine diseases are
completely eradicated from a heid by
cutting back the stocks somewhat. and
then grating new varieties on them that
appear to be proof against the attacks
of the disease. BY this method the CAT
fornia vineyardists have succeeded in
stamping out the phylloxera. A resistant
vine can be turned into a non-resistant
vine or vice versa, according 10 the
method of grating the scion. In this
way grating is the growers surest wea-

A gardner. in Farmer and Fruit Grower,
says; The growing of plants is the first
thing to consider. This is usually quite
difficult, unless the land is peculiarly
adapted to their growth. Seed beds are
prepared on damp land by thoroughly pull
verifying the soil and heavily fertilizing
it. We begin planting the first of August
and continue until the first Of December.
Plants grown in August must be sheltered
from the hot sun and heavy rains. Later
they only need protection from the rain.
The August and September sowings make
plants ready for the field during the last
of October and the month of November
These, with proper care, should mature
for the holiday trade. October and No
vember paintings come off in the spring
when there is ready sale for the crop in
the northern markets.
Moist land should be selected on which
to grow the crop. We plant In burrows
from two to four inches deep, laid off
four feet apart. In these trenches the
plants can be placed six inches apart,
essary to their growth. When the plants
grow to the hight of eight or ten inches,
the blanching process can be begun. This
is accomplished by drawing the earth up
to the plant. This must never be done
when the plants are wet with dew or
rain, as ii will cause the plants to rust
or rot. Choose a dry part of the day when
the ground is not too damp. AS the plant
grows the earth should be drawn up from
time to time, allowing only the top of
the leaves to project above.

A duck raiser, giving his experience in
the Rural New Yorker. says ducks are

are easily raised-much more so than
chickens or turkeys. Probably the worst
thing for ducklings is the first thing they

The grating of new and improved va
rieties of grapes upon old thrifty stocks
is work that is pleasant and satisfactory
in results, says S. w. Chambers in Ameri-
can Cultivator. 1t is good plan to have
number of old stocks always on hand
for the testing of new varieties that are
advertised as being worthy of general at
tention. One can get quick results from
this method, and soon decide whether he
wants to pay any further attention to the
new kinds. If the scions of the new vari-
cites are in good condition fruits can be
had in one season when grated on vigor-
Gus stocks. One can judge pretty well
from this first seasons growth whether

An Account of Two Very Desirable
sub-TrOpicaI Fruits.
Il doubt very much if there are to-day
one-third the number of fig trees and
pomegranate bushes growing in the south
ern half of Georgia that there were forty
years ago." This statement is certainly

perhaps likely, that in some localities in
South or Southwest Georgia there has
been some enlargement of the culture of
these two excellent fruits. Yes; l con-
slider the pomegranate a most excellent
fruit and well worthy of all the care
necessary to its successful growth.
In the matter of climatic conditions, the
requirements of the fig and the pomegran-
ate are about the same, and both can be
successfully grown several hundred miles
further north than the orange. Where
the coast line is followed perhaps a thous-
ana miles further north the fig (and
doubtless the pomegranate) is readily
grown in Eastern North Carolina. Both
