Setting the ,Cion.-Place the curved
edge of your knife. over the end of the
stub, splitting at right angles to the
body of the tree. Split til one blow of
the mallct if possible, the curved edge
of the. knife being calculated to make
a clean cut before the bark begins to
tear. Drive out the knife, and, reyers-
ing, drive the wedge lightly into the
cleft. 4 Now bear down on the handle
enough to hold the cleft open, insert
Your cions SO that their inner bark will
either match with or cross that of the.
stub. leaving the lower bud a little
above or on a level with the sawed sur
face, and drive-not pull-out your
knife. The cleft ready for insertion of
the cion is seen in Fig. 2.
Westinghouse your wax about the
consistency of soft putty and your
hands well oiled with fresh lard, SD
that it will not stick. Roll up sufficient
wax to cover the stub, draw the wax
with one motion over the cleft, shutting
in the lower bud. Now cover the other
cleft, and if you have used wax enough
to exclude air and moisture success will
be sure.
Grating Wax.-To make a wax that
will not crack in winter nor melt in
summer, melt one part beeswax and
one part tallow together, and five parts
white resin separately; pour together
while hot, stir briskly and dump into
a tub of lukewarm water whose sides
and bottom have been previously well
creased with lard. Grease your hands
with the same material and work your

COSTLY BELGIAN GUN BARRELS.
They Are Made by Hand and by = Conn
= plicatcd Process.

They Arc Made by Hand and by . Conn
plicatcd Process.
The United States consul in Liege de-
scribes, in q recent report, the manu-
factnre of ard trade in damascus gun
barrels, wholly hand made, in the val
ley of the Vesdre, in Liege province.
These barrels are for sporting guns,
and the industry is many years old,
the workmen in the villages'in the val
ley being almost all gun-barrel makers,
and the trade descending from father
to son.
/. The best barrels are combination
OF the best primary substances, welded
and forged by the martelage q froid
process; the steel comes from West
phalia, the iron is manufactured at
Couvin, in Belgium; the coal, which is
specially suited for the work, from the
Herve highlands, in Belgium, while
the motive power of the factories is
obtained from the River yesdre. The
industry has increased greatly in re,
cent years. These armes de luxe, as
they arecalled, are made by men work
ing in pairs, each pair in'its own little
factory. quite Independent of all others.
They are paid by the piece, the wages
being good, and about Z, 900 men are
engaged on the work in the valley.
Medium quality barrels are made Of
coke iron and steel while the superior
quality, which are produced in the
Vesdre valley, ARE made of charcoal
iron and steel, An ingenious "mar7
rage" of these metals gives compost
ton which, when manufactured, guar
antees the required solidity and resist
ance. He .rs.as-....,. g..-, tr....-. sst. n
The improvement in these damascus
barrels dates from the introduction of
percussion caps in the place of the old
flint lock. Formerly iron barrels alone
were produced; now, to manufacture
the curled damascus, the ingot is COM
posed of 80 sheets of iron and steel,
each having thickness of four milf
meters, which are enveloped in sheet
iron box, placed in an oven, and welded
together at the lowest possible temper
AZURE. Each barrel receives $50 weld
ing beats while being forged, and if
a single one of these Is unsuccessful
the barrel may be failure, either by
alteration of the damascened work or
an imperfection in the welding.
There is no official test of these armes
de luxe, but they are thoroughly tested
by the manufacturers before delivery.
The annual production of damascus
barrels in the Vesdrc valley is about
100000 pairs, of n value of about $780,
600 francs. Of this the wages alone
for all the guns are hand made-amount
to about 100000 francs. The princi-
pal markets are Great Britain and the
United States. About half the barrels
made in the Vesdre valley are sold to
manufacturers of arms in Liege to be
mounted.-N. Y. Times.

one does not need any great quantity,
is at the time they are to be inserted,
always provided that the buds are not
too far advanced, in which case they
should be cut in April and preserved in
damp sand Or sawdust. For cions, cut
only the last years growth from the

Sawing.-In saving off a branch, the
CRATER should bear in mind the future
shape Of the tree, and not saw too close
to the trunk, not saw off branches more
than three inches in diameter, and not
saw one limb above another, so that the
growth will interfere. In case of a
heavy branch, which is liable to split
down, saw under few inches above
where you wish to leave your stub, until
the saw begins to pinch, then saw from
the top at the place selected, and there
will be no splitting. Make a smooth,
clean cut. - 4 s.
d Whittling.-Cions should not exceed
lead pencil in size. Take the twig in
your left hand, and placing the knife at
the side of the bud, draw it toward the
end, the cut terminating at the pith, the
bevel being perfect. Serve the opposite
side in exactly the same way, taking
care thatthe wedge is little the thick

4. RAILROAD YARD TERRORS.
Even Train Men Cannot Cross the Tracks
at Night without Being Confused.

Even Train Men Cannot Cross the Tracks
at Night without Being Confused.
Its hard for the ordinary traveller
TO realize the terrors of the average
railroad yard" said an old and expert
enced trainman at one of the big Jersey
city terminals TO a Sun reporter. 'The
commuter who scans the yards daily
as he is smoothly riding through them,
naturally enough fails to appreciate
the mass of detail in the duties of the
men who are employed to switch him
safely into the station. Of course, the
routine work we do, fraught with re-
sponsibility and danger as it is, becomes
mechanical enough to us in time, but
there is one thing that 1 have never
been able to do with GOODNESS in all the
years l have been employed here, and
that is to cross this network of tracks
at night. The experience of Thomas
Baker, the freight clerk at the Lehigh
Valley station, in Communipaw, is proof
that I am not the only hardened rail
roader afflicted in that way. Baker was
run down by an engine because he got
bewildered in the maze of tracks. l
doE't blame him. Why, it's enough to
give man heart disease to attempt to
cross such an aggregation of rails, with
lot of headlights moving all around
him and scores of bells ringing and
whistles ringing in his ears.
"Every time that am compelled to
make such trip-and I only do so now
adays when am compelled to-, get
the lay of the land well in my mind,
and note which engines are moving and
which are not; but it is of no use. BY
the time I'm in the middle of the yard
my head is in a whirl, the headlights
are dancing all around me, and 1 skip
and dodge around frantically until 1
get safely on the other side. Usually
most of the locomotives are standing
still in the trainshed, but it's hard to
believe it when you are in front of
them. Some commuters who work in
jersey City hare a trick OF walking into
the station from the yard to save the
trouble of going around by the regular
way, but when / can I always warn
them of the danger of doing IN. Y.

ts& - Known New Yorker


Money and L.abor-saving Device of Well
- Known New Yorker.
Ex-senator John O'Donnell, formerly
. railroad Commissioner of New York,
has devised system of steel-track high
ways which he hopes to see adopted
by the rural communities of the country
rs set-off to high freight rates by rail-
ways.
On an ordinary macadamized high
way, two steel cutters, each five inches
wide and half an inch deep, are laid on
longitudinal astringpieces and cross
wooden ties at a width of 4 feet sh inches
from center to center. To insure per-
feet drainage, side channels are con-
Quoted at frequent intervals from these
cutters to the outside of the road.
~ Mr. OIDonnen quotes, from the De-
eember bulletin OF the road department
at Washington to show that 313, 349,227
country roads in one year at a cost of
$663, 900, or about "a per cent. of the
total value of the products. Nearly
two-thirds of this amount could be
saved by good roads. ~ H"6 30S 81
The, following example is quoted by
Mr.. ODonnell to show the prospective
advantage to be gained from the use of
el7track CUTTERS: qy4 va. r.s
AT a point on a connecting lateral
road with the New York Central 90
teams in the fall of the year delivered
20 loads of cheese from the factory IL
miles from the railroad. The average
load was 1900 pounds. IT took all day,
to deliver the $4,000 pounds of cheese
and return. On steel-track road that
cheese could have been delivered by one
team in less time and in better condi-
ton. thereby saving 10 teams and 10
men, fairly worth $57. But this is not
all. This cheese shipped to the COM
Meeting point on the Central, SO miles,
at 20 cents per 1OO-$64. On steel
track road three teams would have de-
ivered it and returned in three days at
$3.50 per day, or $3.50, saving $3.50,
and, if loaded back at the same rate,
the total saving would be SOS. The mar
ket price of the cheese at cents per
pound was 1856, and the loss by reason
of roads and rail charges was over one
third the price obtained" y
Mr.. O'Donnell calculates the cost of
making single steel-gutter track road
at from So, 900 to SIS, 900 mile. . e

How Deep to Plant Seed.

The depth at which seed is planted is
Important, and the smaller the seed the
nearer it must be to the surface. If
planted too low then the seed may not
obtain oxygen, or, even assuming that
1t did, it will exhaust it's cotyledon, or
reserve food, before it is sufficiently
above ground to live on the atmosphere;
hence it dies. The larger seed contain
ing greater quantity of store food,
can last longer before exhausting it's
cotyledon, and so, may be planted
deeper. The smallest seeds, such as
grass seeds, are spread on the surface
of the land; larger seeds, like mustard,
are sown half an inch deep, and the
depth will vary with increase of size
and popularity of structure to two
inches.-Farmer's Voice.

GOOD ROAD HINTS.
Some Things That Are Essential to Per
.sr. manent Improvement. .lls

-"'r. InAnent Improvement ~ IS T.
Until we have radical change in the
system of highway laws and highway
management much improvement would
result in the condition of roads if the
commissioners and overseers would see
to 1t that the side ditch on the upper
side of the road is opened to a proper
depth to carry all the water in the
spring and sluices put across at proper
intervals to let the water away from
the road, and especially that the road
bed be made higher, than the ditch
and not SO wide and fiat as in many
cases they are. Many and many a rod
of road is nothing but mudhole, and all
because of carelessness in not lowering
the side ditch and raising the roadbed.
Again, many rods of road are some
times made muddy by not making
water bars across the road to turn the
water off, and so it is allowed to follow
down the entire slope for long dis
tance, when bar of suitable height
would prevent all and the public would
be better accommodated by few min
utes' work of the overseer. But we
shall never have good roads, in the
strict sense of the term, until the rocks
and stones which now lie dormant
waiting the action of some master mind
are broken into small fragments, and
each year the time now devoted to
working" is utilized in drawing
plentiful covering of crushed stone.
In other words, when our roads are
macadamized and the water turned off
and kept Off, then, and not until then,
will our roads be permanently inn
proved. &C. w. Guernsey, in Orange
