TIME TO MAKE CUTTINGS.

During the winter months is the
time to make cuttings of such trees
and shrubs as it is desirable to in
crease, Ounces, currants, gooseber-
ries and grapes are readily increased
by cuttings. In the case Of shade
trees willows and poplars are easily
grown from cuttings, but the great
majority of trees need to be raised
from seeds, layers, or by budding or
grating. But when it comes to the
towering shrubs which adorn our
lawns, cuttings are the chief reliance
of propagators The time 10 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 III
each one. About nine inches Is a good
length for most sorts, though grapes
having the points far apart may be
foot in length. 1t is believed that
when the lower part is cut just below
an eye, that roofing is easily accom-
plished, so cuttings are usually made
in that way. 1t is 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 use
less. After the cuttings are made
place them in cellar, buried up in
sand or earth with but the tops pros
ieeting, these to remain until the time
arrives for setting them out in the
sprins. When the work is done about
February, it VIII be found that the
cuttings are nicely healed over by the
time spring comes, which is in favor
OF the success of the operation.
When the winter is over and the
soil Is in good condition for working
the planting may be done, setting them
SO that two-thirds of their length are
in the ground and one-third out. In
ordinary season the most Of them will
be we'll rooted by fall. Practical

istration Severely Criticized.s
Washington. June 5.-Mr. Dingley %
Maine, chairman of the committee on
ways and means, presented to the House
today the report of the majority of mem
bers of the committee on the Senate bond
bill. The report says that the attempt to
deprive the Secretary Of the power to
borrow for the purpose of maintaining
the redemption fund, when there has
been for three years large deficiency of
revenue, raises the query whether it is
not the deliberate purpose of. the pro-
| inoters to plunge the government into
repudiation and deprecated greenbaokg.
| The report answers the various excuses
| put forth for the passage of the bill ana
criticises the Senate for failing to pass
| the financial and revenue measures
passed by the House.
In the course of argument it says:
| Our criticism of the Secretary of the
Treasury is not that he has used the re-
deem eel United States legal tender notes
to meet the deficiency in the absence of
| revenue and authority to borrow for that
| distinct object, but that the administra-
tion and Secretary have refused to recog-
| nize the fact that tha revenue has been
and still is insufficient to meet the ex-
penditures and have discouraged all steps
20 provide sufficient revenue" s-5-.
The report further says: Practically
| the bill takes away from tie Secretary of
the Treasury the power TO borrow either
gold or silver to maintain the coin re-
demption fund, in the face of the fact
| that the government owns only $4,000, 600
silver dollars, and little over $100, 000,-
coo of gold, that can be used for redemp-
tion purposes, which fund would dissp-
pear III very brief period if it should be
understood that the power to borrow in
an exigency had been abr0gated.
The inevitable result of such a reck less
course would be reputation by this
government. depreciation of the currency
and such panic as the country sshas never
before experienced.o
The bill is reported back with the
Recommendation that 1t do not pass.
