To Each His Work.

Most people can do some one kind Of
work more efficiently than they can 9th
ers. Special fitness Of nature or skill
from training rules here ia religious
work as in business occupations. Abili-
ty to do some things belongs to every
live Christian. Prayer, testimony. be-
peficence are exercises in which every
follower of Christ should participate
Bible study by oneself for spiritual d.
rection is essential for each. But be-
yond this some have peculiar fitness for
managing the temporal and business at
fairs of the church. Some are naturally
endowed as teachers. others as persuade
ers to holy living. Some can care for
tho sick; others are preachers, gifted
with powers Of eloquence to convince
and convict. Let each one study hia
own powers and show himself an ed,
cient workman Of God.

How to Graft GrapeVines.

A good, thin bladed, sharp knife to
cut the cions, sharp saw to cut off
large stocks,-th smaller ones can be
cut with good pruning shears,-a chisel
for grating having a blade two and
half or three inches broad in the middle
and wedge on each side, wooden
mallet and few strings of raffia, or
other bandage, in case a stock should
need tying which is seldom the case,-
are the implements necessary for graft
ing. The cions should be of selected
wood, the size of a lead pencil or some
what larger, cut sometime in winter,
tied in bundles, and buried their entire
length on the shady side of building,
or under a tree, to keep them dormant.
Short-iointed, firm wood is to be pre-
ferred. All can be carried IN basket,
if one intends to perform the operation
alone. If several are to work together of
course the tools must be divided accord
ingly. In California we work generally
in gangs of three, the first man clearing
away the ground from the stock until he
comes to a smooth place for inserting
the cion, whether this be at the surface
or slightly below. The former is pref

which are protected by hills of earth
above the surface; nor are the young
shoots disturbed and broken so easily
by careless hands or high winds. A
stake should be driven close to the graft

had them remain dormant until July or
August; and then make rapid growth.
If suckers from the stock appear-as is
generally the case-they should be re-
moved at once, taking care to cut them
close to the stock, so as to have no
stumps or dormant buds. Tying and
suckering should be repeated every
week or ten days at least. AS long as
the cion remains fresh and green it may
begin growing at any time. OF course
care must be taken not to disturb the
cion. If every thing does well, there will
be from three to four canes from the
upper buds, and these may be treated
just as any other bearing vine in prun-

riculturist.

Very few gardeners properly appreci'
ate the value of good mulch, or fully
understand how it acts in promoting
the growth and v'gor of most plants.
Even in orchards, an artificial covering,
forming a mass over the surface of the
ground. is found beneficial, not only be-
cause the moisture is thus conserved,
but because the soil is protected and q
cured. The term mulch does not nee
essarily imply decaying vegetable mat
ter. In France, tiles are used with holes
made at intervals through which the
plants grow-and around trees, large
fiat stones are sometimes called into
service. In these two cases there can
of course be nothing added to the soil
the stones serve merely to retain the
moisture ard equalize the temperature,
but it is undoubtedly true that by some
chemical change, the soil is m ade richer
for the time being. In the advanced
methods of horticulture, cement or even
prepared paper is used for the same pur
pose. By these methods, besides the
advantages above mentioned, weeds are
kept down, and the work is thus less
laborious and more profitable. The
materials used for mulching, in this
country, are leaves, chef, straw, &C.
cum ulations of any vegetable matter
and even sawdust. In the latter case,
there can be very little benefit beyond
the primary one of protecting the soil,
and as in the case of the tiles, cement
and paper, conserving the moisture and
rendering the tenn perature more uni
form, there is no vegetable matter adj
ded to the soil. But the leaves and other
vegetable refuse, being rich in plant
food, perform the double Office Of a
mulch and fertilizer. AS we progress
in horticultural science, mulches will in
time more generally take the place of
constant work with hoe and plow.-

Tree Borers.


Lewis Collins, secretary of the Tree
planting and Fountain society,of Brook
Ign, N. Y. gives the following informa-
ton In regard to the borer insects from
which SO many suffer:
Borers are much more injurious to
trees than leaf-eaters and are much
more difficult to control, There is a
great number of kinds, and they may
be found in every part Of the tree. from
the smallest twig to the largest trunk.
Many kinds lnfest wood that is dead and
decaying. Comparatively few work In
living tissues. These are the trouble
some and injurious ones.
The leopard moth (Zeuzera pyrina) is
the most troublesome at the present
time The larvae Of these insects re-
main within the wood and beyond the
reach of ordinary Insecticides. In some
instances they live three years, and ex-
cavate channels in the wood that are in
furious. They may be Cut out in some
wire and destroyed.
A little bisulphide Of carbon injected
with little putty will prove effectual.
The vapor of the bisulphide will pene-
trate the full leDg of the tunnel, and
will kill the larvae without in jury 10 the
tree These methods are slow and re-
quire an expert to practice them sue
cessfully.
1t is claimed thata German compound
r 4upenleim, insect lime, and some
what sim liar compound called Dendro-
lene, invented by Professor E. L Mason
of New Brunswick, n. J. may be used
to prevent the attack of borers and also
to prevent the Larvae in the wood from
issuing perfect insect when the time
of transition arrives, 1t is sticky sub
stance, and may be spread upon sur
face and retain its sticky and soft condi-
tion long time. 1t is claimed that no
insect can walk on this distance and no
eggs can be deposited in the bark of the
tree through this coating, neither can
the perfect insect penetrate 1t to get out
from it's burrow. Where the attack of
the borers is limited to paratively
small area, as, for example, the peach
tree borer, or that one that destroys the
lilac bush, it appears that these sub
stances can be applied with advantage.
They are certainly worthy of careful
study.

substance on the property of John Farr,

The next man cuts the cion to a smooth,
long, sloping wedge just below bud,
then splits the stock, either with prun-
ing shears or chisel, according to it's
size, If the stock is not more than an
il Oh in diameter the shears are best, as
only one cion is to be inserted. Keep
the blade of the shears on the side
where the cion is to join the stock, so as
to prevent bruising, and make q long
smooth sloping cut, little TRANSFERS ly
if possible, as the junction will be-
come thereby all the more perfect.
Then push the wedge of the cion firmly
down into the cleft; taking care that the
| inner bark or fiber of stock and cion are
we'll joined, as on this principally de-
ponds the success of the operation. To
open the cleft. the wedges on The chisel
are used if necessary An expert will
depend very little on these, unless the
stocks are very heavy, but will open the
cleft with knife or shears and then push
down the cion to it's proper place. The
inner side Of the cion, opposite the bud,
should be somewhat thinner, so that
the stock will close firmly on it; the
cion should also be inserted far enough
so that the bud is just above the hori-
zontal cut on the stock. The third man
follows, presses little moist earth on
the surface of the stock, and then hills |
up around the junction 10 the upper
most buds of he cion, with we'll pulver-
cion, and the operation is finished. 1t |
becomes necessary sometimes to tie the |
stock, when it is not large enough or |
from some defect in grating it does not |
firmly hold the cion. In such case,
pass string of raffia or some other fiat |
bandage firmly around the stock and tie |
it, but in no case use grating wax or
clay, as the strong flow of sap from all
| the pores is apt to drown and sour the
cion, while without obstrucung it, it
will flow around the stock, serving to
keep the junction moist and facilitate
the union. AS the whole operation is
covered with earth, there is no danger
of drying up, as is sometimes the case
when fruit trees are top-grafted.
very important consideration, to in
sure success is to equalize the stock and
clon. If,therefore. large stocks are to be
grated, we must have strong, well-de-
veloped wood for the cions, and have
buds enough to take up the full flow of
sap, while small stocks if used at all,
should be grated with small cions of
only two or three buds. When the
stocks are strong, [ take two cions and
insert one on each side of the stock, of
full length, say from IA to Is inches,
and with six to eight buds each. This
has many advantages. The principal
one is that they will elaborate and work
up the entire flow of SAP. Another is if
the cions have we'll developed fruit buds
they will produce quite a number of
clusters from the upper buds, and thus
show the character of the fruit the first
year.
