GRArTING.

Grating lie science which every
farmer should understand. says a horti
culturist. 1t is quite simple il few
leading points are carefully observed.
The buds upon tho stock to be grated
should be swelling, as this indicates u
free flow OF sap. The scions should be
entirely dormant. but il they have be-
CONS shrivelled they are worthless. The
limbs to be grated should be sawed otf
without injuring tho bark and the wedge
shaped scion should lit evenly to tho
cleft, 80 that the bark OF stock and scion
comes fully in contact. The wound
should be thinly covered with good
grating wax. Two or more ecions can
be placed in each large limb with two or
three buds on each.

Edwards face cleared little. After
all Freeda was not to blame, nor Will

revulsion of feeling strong in him
he shook Willis hand. There were
real tears in Willis eyes as lie looked
around the room.
''After all I've had some good times

he began to sing.
And with the echo Of the college
verse celebrating Cuba's freedom Will
lis marched out into the hall, where a
crowd had gathered to see the volun-
teers off to camp.
The regiment went out that night
and in week was encamped at the
south, waiting orders there, hoping and
praying to be transferred to the seat of
war. But the days went by, and still
the troops remained in camp. A letter
from Willis to Edward three weeks
later expressed his views of the stua-
ton and gave Edward a strong inn
preston that war, glorious war;" Is
not all fun and glory" at least not
that part Of it spent in camp.
