NEW GRATING METHOD.
Practiccd with Great Success by Its
Inventor, a Successful New Jcr-
Sey Fruit Grower.

am going to introduce, my method
of grating, which is new to most OF
those present. When you cut twig
from a tree, if it does not heal over in
one season it causes the root to rot.
The damage done to tree by cleft
grating seldom heals perfectly the
first season and results often in decay
setting in.
In my method I use this little instru-
ment, which has it's cutting portion Of
' shape, attached to shank with 4
wooden handle. I then take a twig,
cut the top off, leaving the stock about
an inch through; then on the side Of
the stock I cut. out with my instru-
ment a place for the insertion of the
scion, which is shaped on the lower
end with very sharp knife to fit close
ly the place of insertion. You will no.
tice place the lower end of the scion
directly over the stock. Insert the
scion, which will fit closely and re-

Dormant sc1ons can be gotten at any
time during the winter, but if grated
then they would dry and wither long
before the time for them to grow.
Hence we must wait until the tree is
ready to grow in spring. The scions
must be taken sooner and kept in a
cool place where they will not wither,
to prevent the buds from starting.
With such scions, grating can be
done any time in spring. Take one of
the scions and shave off the bottom
on two sides, making wedge. One
side should be just little thicker than
the other, and on that side there should
be bud just above where the wedge
begins, leaving about three buds in all.
Prepare another scion in the same
way. Now open the split made in the
branch. This may be done with mar
row wooden wedge. Put the two

THE ONION THR1Ps.
In Case OF Drought This Insect II
Likely to Work Serious injury
In Extensive Fields.


The effect of this insect on the onion
is known as the. white blast" from
the fact that the tops are prematurely
Whitened, and become wrinkled and
shriveled. The insect caused consid-
cradle damage in some portions Of the
state last year in onion fields, and the
Ohio agricultural experiment. station
has been engaged throughout the win
ter in studying its winter habits. 1t
has been found that the insect passes
the winter months in matted grass,
among old weeds and other rubbish, as
well as among Gull onions and refuse
that have been left over in the fields
in the fall.
Onion growers are familiar with the
fact that the depredations of this in
sect appear earliest, and are the most
emphasized, along the margins of
fields or plots, or in spots over the
fields. The reason for this is that the
insect winters over in these places. It
makes its way from the grassy mar
gins or from the grassy banks Of

from thence outward Wherever the
grass and weeds along bitches can be
rooted up and destroyed it prevents
the harboring of this pest. Wherever
the old, dry grasses and weeds, along
the margins of onion plantations, can.
be burned, the effect will be to destroy
myriads of the pest, and to prevent
their breeding the coming season.
With frequent, drenching rains, there
is not much likelihood of severe out

Gus injury in extensive onion fields.
A spray of one pound of whale oil
dissolved in eight gallons of waite, will
destroy the pest, and the use of this
mixture is recommended on. the first

At time of first appearance it will prob

With memories so sweet and keen

~ the Whip Method, ana Both
Are Excellent /

A method often used is called cleft
grating. Select branch from one
to two inches in diameter, saw it off
at smooth place, far enough above
any knot or branch so that it. will split
easily, then split it in the center by
driving a strong knife into the end. The
scion must be twig which grew last
year. The buds on the scion must be
snugly wrapped in their winter coats
