.ORTICULTURE

An experienced orcbardiat OF the
Northwest gives in the Journal OF Ag-
rlcu.ture his views on the grafting of
fruit trees. H. says:
Fruit grating ehou}d be done early
in the spring, before the leaves begin
to start On the trees. If one Is merely
doing his oHn grating, the cions may
be selected Is one Wishes TO graft them
into the trees, if h9 has the kind he
wishes to use; but if he wishes to make
q business Of it, the c.0us should be
selected in February. Last years
growth should be chosen and put up
in bunches by themselves, and marked
so no mistakes viii be made.
The grating knife most c,mmonly
used, is on8 with q straight back and
blade; but tie best, and one used by an
old CRATER, has q rounding back and q
curve IN the center Of the blade. The
reason shat the curved knife is consid-
cred the best, is because it cuts the
bark ahead Of the wood.
There are many receipts for making
grating wax, but all that have seen
use tailow. Boiled Ensecd oil gives
better satisfaction to those who have
tyis d it. Wax made Of taIIow will melt
and run down on a hot day, but will
not il made Of Oil, for it dries so much
quicker.
Some, who do grating to make
money, will put as many gratis as
in a tree. This should not be done for
when they begin to grow, they will be
50 thick that many Of the new ones will
have to be cut eff. A small limb will
need but one graft, but two will be bet
ter on a large one.
When about to set g. graft the limb
should be sawed Off and split one and
half or two inches. The stub is now
ready to receive the cicn These should
have two buds. The cut, which forms
the lower end Of the cioD, should begin
a little below the lower bud, and cut in
the form Of a wedge. The wood should
be cut so that the edge opposite the bud
shall be thinner than the part under it,
Wax should be put Oh between the
cion8, end cover the slits at each side,
B0~carosuI not TO let the wax come over
the buds. II theae directions are fully
carried cut you will be sure to be sue
ceasfUl.

and know each cows worth.
People from the cod, bleak and bar
ren Northwest for the past tive ycGEs
have been coming South in search OF a
warmer climate, richer soil, m-ra
equabIe seasons and better conditions.
This movement, which began soon
after the great drought in Nebraska,
Kansas, the D4kotas and other States,
which brought suffering and ruiG to
thousands, has swoI-eu gradually from
q small stream into q most Formidable
tide.

Salt is an essential constituent Of the

must be aTtjfcially supplied. Tie
amount varies IN different foods, and
IN those grown from different soils,
and we. therefore, have II guide as to
the exacs quantity an animal needs,
but it must be left to them. The cor
rect way is TO give them constantly the
opportunity Of satisfying the natural
needs Of the system.
