Story Told OF Gallifet.

Once. while on tour of inspection,
General de Galliffet was invited to q
dinner given by several officers of
nearly ss high rank as his Own. On
preparing TO return TO his hotel at the
end Of the repast he was annoyed to
find that it was raining heavily. As
he stood hesitating in the doorway,
General Vincendon. then commander
OF brigade, approached him and
said 4 have an umbrella. and if
You wish viii accompany You home. :"
The ofer wa, grsciously accepted.
Arrived safe and dry at his own door,

ing saltel water for fifteen or twenty
minutes. Remove and lay in a pan Of

The failure Of success CT the young
rec for the fret two or three seasons
after planting ont depends largely on
how this work is done. The young
tree as it comes from the nursery row
has been deprived in digging of proba-
bly, half its roots, whose Office it is to
supply nourishment to the top or to
the branches and leaves. The supply
thus diminished so considerably neces-
states q rather severe pruning of the
tor, cutting away an amount proper
,ionate to the amount of roots or root
let's left behind in digging. This prun-
ing should be done just before plant
ing the tree, using q sharp knife. Cut
away about threefourths Of the top,
preserving q strong center shoot or
leader, which should be cut back we'll.
The lower lateral branches should be
left longer than the upper, which
should be pruned back rather severely.
Any broken or injured roots should
also be pruned so that the ends will
be smooth.
In planting the tree in the ground
act it no deeper than it grew in the
nursery, which depth may be deter
mined by the discoloration OF the bark
at the base. Let the roots rest on
bed Of we'll loosened soil. Replace
the subsoil or clay at the bottom of
the excavation with top soil, and let
! the excavation be somewhat larger
| than merely necessary to accommo
date the roots. Film about the roots
with pulverized soil, using the hand
! to perform the work. After the roots
| are covered tread the soil we'll with
the feet. All the soil used for filling
should be trodden down quite firmly
After the tree Is planted stake it aud
tie to the stake, or better still, make
q compact hard mound Of soil about
the base Of the tree, to prevent the
wind from whipping it about In the
spring remove this monnd. During
the first few seasons the young tre.

Securing Grape Cuttings.

Grape cuttings may be made in tho
fall after the leaves have fallen from
the vines. The cuttings should be
from six to eight inches long and will
contain two To four buds each, accord
ing to whether the cuttings be short
jointed or long -iointed. The cutting
should be made below the last bud
and slanting downward from it. The
cuttings should be bundled together
and appropriately labeled, after which
they should be buried in the ground
for use in the spring. Some prefer
planting them in the fall, in which
case they must be protected against
the changes of temperature By cover

Peach on Plum stock.

There is no particular advantage in
budding the peach on plum stock.
The peach can be grown on heavy soil
as we'll as can the plum. and is nearly
as hardy during winter. The hardi-
ness of the plum stock will not save
the peach limbs and buds that have
been budded on 1T, so that IT q severe
winter came the fruit crop would
probably be lost either way.

A very excellent feature Of the Ore.

given space there and attractively ex-
hibited.
1t is truly great fair. and 1t ia

connected with 1t is on properly large
scale such as BELTS the great region
represented.
Portland has the capital necessary to
carry on such great fair, and her en-

the money to pay the heavy expenses
incurred. They know that in dong
so they are aiding in the general devel-
opment of the entire Northwest.
People VINO visit the exposition at
Portland this autumn will make no

splendid attractions to interest them.
A full military band. one of the best
in America. will give concerts every
afternoon and evening, and there will
