NEW RrnprNG METHOD.

Here is a brief description OF the
method practiced at the Texas Station :
After cutting of bud with some
wood attached cut a slip of bark, with
some wood attached to it also, down
about an inch, leaving it still attached
at the lower end. This cut must be
made about the size of the cut bud, so
that the bud will fit evenly over the
cut place. Part of the loose slip should
be cut of and the bud slipped down
between the wood and the slip. Tie the
bud tightly with raflia or corn shuck.
Success has been attained with this
method in January. The buds soon
knit firmly and can be forced out in
spring. This method can be used to
advantage in dry weather when the
bark refuses to slip, or on stock which
failed to take when budded in the
usual way during the summer. Roses
and many kinds of trees have been
budded in this way. This method
greatly prolongs the season of bud
ding and will to that extent somewhat
lessen the cost of the work. The Sill

IlME 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, eurrants, 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 to make
them is while vegetation is dormant,
and 1t is better done at least a month
or more before spring comes The
beautiful golden bell, weigla, mock
orange, spire, 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, 50 that
two or three joints are included il
each one. About nine inches is a good
length for most sorts, though grapes
having the joints far apart may be (
foot IN length. 1t is belieYed tina

EJECT oF FOOD on EGGS.

The Rural New Yorker has lately
been making inquiries from promi-
nent poultrymen in regard to the effect
of feeding upon the size of eggs; also
whether the size will make any differ
ence in the number which a hen will
lay. The varied answers show that
even the most experienced feeders are
very much in the dark upon this sub
iect. 1t may be inferred, however,
from the answers that the grains have
much less effect in increasing the size
of eggs than have meats, bran and
other nitrogenous foods, but grains
fed in excess will make the hen too
fat, and her eggs will either be small
or be retained until abnormally largo.
As to the effect on the number of eggs
opinions are about equally divided.
Perhaps the answer to either question
depends more upon the breed than
upon any particular food. The ideal
food for laying hens as given by Mr..
l. X. Felch is rs follows: "The COM
bination of thirty pounds of corn, fif-
teen pounds of oats, ten pounds OF
wheat, ten pounds of barley and IF
teen pounds of wheat bran, thorough
ly mixed, gives the largest number OF
eggs possible. This is used as the
morning soft food, with twenty-five
per cent. of meat feed, the afternoon
feed being mixed grains"

A wIFEs COMPLAINT.

A majority Of the mothers complain OF the
neglect and brutality of their husbands,
caused by excessive drinking habits, and say
they are hungry and almost shelterless, not
because they are poor through illness, or be-
cause OF lack OF work, but because the men
spend their wages at saloons. One woman,
aged about thirty-flve, told story more than
half century long in few words: az
married Il man who was good to me as long
as was young and nice looking. My mother
did the same thing with the same result, and
her mother met the same fate nearly sixty
years ago, and l suppose this baby will go
and get "a drinking husband II the sanitar-
ium succeeds in saving her poor little life.

A PluckY Blue Jay Thief

My raspberry patch if fifty feet
square, surrounded by wire fence,
says a contributor to Meehan's Month
ly. So many birds make their home
in the wooded rooms within ten feet
that it is necessary to protect this patch
by netting, which is supported by wires
strung overhead. The net hangs over
the sides of the fence three or four
feet. Occasionally bird gets inside,
especially the blue jay. We catch
them and let them go unharmed.
Yesterday my man and myself we're
near and saw blue jay in there with
a ripe red raspberry in his bill, hut-
tering against the net. My man went
inside and chased him from one side to
another three times, and finally got
his hands on him at where the fence
rail met, but the bird managed to slip
through his hands and down between
the net and the outside of the fence
aud gained his liberty. All this time
be hung on the berry and few away
with it. That certainly is good il
lustration of bird pluck.

HOW To PACK BUTTER.

Butter is never so good as when
used within one week from the time
it leaves the churn. 1t possesses then
a delicate aroma and a peculiar, in
describable flavor, which soon passes
away and is never present thereafter
but butter properly made can be kept
sweet and in good order for months.
Get the butter in good condition as
soon as possible after churning and
pack it firmly in gallon or half-gallon
jars. Those containing five or six
pounds are preferable. When the
jars are bought ask the seller, as he
marks the weight of each, to number
them, so that record of the amount
of butter in each jar can readily be
kept. Pack the jars level full, tie a
round piece of strong, thick cloth
over the top and place it bottom side
up into a new, large crock. DO not
pack butter made at different times in
the same jar, but store only those jars
that can be filled at one churning.
Make strong brine, using all the salt
the water will absorb, adding to each
gallon teaspoonful of saltpeter and
a teaspoonful of granulated sugar.
Scald the brine aud skim it thorough
ly. When cold strain through wet
thick cloth into the crock. Add more
brine from time to time to keep the
jars covered two inches in depth.
Tie a thick cloth over the crock tc
protect from dust, and over this piece
a wooden cover to exclude the light.
Do not keep the crock on the cellar
floor, even if it is a cemented one, but
on platform if possible, with SLATE
underneath the crock to insure fret
circulation of air. This will preven
mold forming on the bottom of tn,
crock.
Several smaller crooks may be use,
in which to store the jars rather thar
use the large crock. TO clean jar
and crooks, use a bath OF hot linn
water or strong hot soda water. -

when the lower part is cut just below
an eye that roofing is easily accom-
plshed, SO cuttings are usually made
in that way. II 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 a cellar, buried up in
sand or earth, with but the tops pro-
iecting, these to remain until the time
arrives for setting them out in the
spring. When the work is done about
February, 1t will 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 well rooted by fall-Practical

WHAT THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC DOES.

Sixty million dollars are annually ex.
pend in this country for the apprehension
and punishment OF criminals, made so by
the liquor traffic; and 10000 criminals are
supported in the prison houses OF the coun.
try at the public expense. Add TO this all
other expenses Of government caused by the
liquor traffic, such as the large amounts
necessary to provide for the insane and the
pauper classes that have been made such by
intemperance, and you will discover that the
amount annually expended by government
in consequence of this trafflc is enormous.
Take the traffic away, and you remove the
cause of this expense. The revenue from a
sober people will then be amply sufficient for
purposes OF government j. w.
