TIME TO MAKE CUTTINGS.
Good Way Of Increasing Small Fruits Oi
Ev0ry Description.

Good Way Of Increasing Small Fruits Of
Every Description.
During the winter months is the
time to make cuttings Of such trees and
shrubs RB it is desirable to increase.
Ounces, currants, goOseterries and
gTdpes are readily increased by cut
tings. In the case Of shade trees will
lows and pOplars are easily grown from
cuttings, but the great majority of
trees need to be raised from seeds, lay
ers, or by budding or grating. But
when 1t comes to the Towering shrubs
which adorn our lawns, cuttings are
the chief reliance Of propagators. The
time to make them Is while vegetation
iS dormant, and it is better done at
least a month or more before spring
comes. The beautiful Golden Bell.
Weigla, Mock Orange, spirea, Duetzia
and Athaea among many others are
easily raised in this way.
The best shoots for the purpose are
those Of last years growth. The ex-
act length is not particular, so that two
or three joints are included in each
one. About nine inches Is a good length
for most sorts, though grapes having
the joints far apart may be a foot in
length. It is believed that when the
lower part Is cut just below an eye, that
roofing Is easily accomplished, so cut
tlngs are usually made in that way. 1t
10 not so essential at the upper end
where the cut Is made, but as the buds
push from the joints all wood above the
highest one is useless. After the cut
tlngs are made place them in cellar,
buried up in sand or earth, with but the
tops projecting, these to remain un-
I'll the time arrives for setting them
out in the spring. When the work is
done about February, it will be found
that the cuttings are nicely healed over

N favor OF the success of the operation.

This attractive force decreases both ways

upon reaching the center OF the earth it

about by the gradual lessening Of the
