and an ivory tongue to raise the
bark. The bud is cut (b) so as to
take off thin strip of wood. A slit
is made lengthwise in the bark of
the stalk one and one-half inches
long and a transverse cut at the top
of this, as shown at C. The edges
of the bark are peeled back and the
bud slipped in as at d, being pushed
down to the position shown at e.
Strips of raffia are commonly used
to tie it. The string is started be-
low the bud with a full turn and
then placed above where another full
turn is taken, when it is again passed
below and tied, as shown at f. The
edges of the bark are tied down Sc
curely over the bud, but not so tight
as to stop circulation.
The bud should be examined with
in week or two. By this time it
will have become fast, if it does not
fail to grow, and the raffia should be
cut with knife to allow for the
growth of the stock. Unless this is
done the rapidly growing branch will
cutgrow it and soon be spoiled.
Nothing more needs to be done with
the bud until the following spring,
when the stock should be cut off
with an oblique cut about one inch
above, and all buds on the stock
should be rubbed off to aid the
growth of the initial bud.-Orange

Selling Fruit at Auction.

The method of selling fruit at auc-
ton has much to commend it for all
concerned, but the custom of allow
ing reflections in Liverpool from apples
once classified, and sold in the auction
room, is abominable. 1t opens door
that should be kept closed, and newt
ably leads to loss to shipper. This mat
ter must not rest until this method is
changed. The Importance is as great
to the grower as to the shipper. Let
every man who exports "a barrel of
apples send a request to the party to
whom he consigns, that the custom of
allowing reflections be changed with
out delay.-Farm and Home.
