TONGUE GRATING.

formed so that the growing cells (cam-
bium) of the two parts shall come in
contact 3. The wound must be pro-
tected from the weather and the union
strengthened so that the growing parts
of stock and scion shall be brought to-
gether with more or less pressure.
TO accomplish these results the graft
err must be provided with sharp tools
and a supply Of good grating wax.
The grafter's kit should consist of two
knives. one for general cutting and one
for the finishing cuts where smooth
surface is required; saw for cutting
off large limbs, a grafter's tool consist
ing of combined chisel and wedge and
a mallet or mace. This latter is plain
stick of some hard, heavy wood, about
the size of a broom handle or larger,
and carried by thong looped about
the wrist. Thus it is always at hand
and cannot get lost.
The wax is made as follows: Melt
and mix together three parts beeswax,
three parts rosin and two parts tallow.
When it is well mixed, pour into cold
water, and when it assumes a semi
solid condition pull like taffy, with
creased hands. Different methods of
using the wax are in vogue. Some

THE SLAYER OF SHERIFF YOUNG
It is Said That "Long Henry" Killed
the Park County Officer.

IL is oaio Ihar Long Henry NIlled
the Park County Officer.
There is a rumor in Northern Mon
tana that Long Henry" Thompson,
who was killed at Saco recently by
Ed Schufelt, was the man who killed
Sheriff George Young of Park county,
Springdale, Mont, in December, 1899,
wounded his deputy sheriff and then
escaped, although posses searched in
every direction for him. If this re-
port proves true it will clear up a
mystery that it was feared worl /
never be solved. The report gained
circulation from the idle boast of a
drunken man and may be without a
vestige of truth.
AS the story goes, an intimate
friend of Thompson, who was a noted
gun fighter, made drunken boast
on Thursday last at Malta that eff
Schufelt's first shot had not paral-
yzed Henry's shooting arm, he'd been
fixed like the sheriff was at Spring
dale"
When tainted with the remark that
he didn't have the papers for his
talk" Thompson's friend gave the
particulars, which were that the dead
desperate had shot a man in a card
game and jumped out, and that a
short time later, about two days, he
was at the Springdaie depot when
the deputy sheriff threw a gun down
across the platform to put irons on
him
Henry then shot and badly
wounded the deputy sheriff and killed
the sheriff He got away on foot
and before morning took horse out
of field and rode it to Nye, on the
head of the Saltwater, where he had
friends.
He then turned the horse loose
and got a fresh one and saddle and
went to Trabing, Wyo., where he
stayed a few days before starting
back to Valley county.
The story is said to be implicitly
believed by the few who heard it, as
the killing would be easy for Thomp
son, who could shoot with marvellous
accuracy, and draw as quick as any
man ever did.
He was away from home at the
time in question, and was supposed
| to be on Shields river. Another thing
is that the description of the sheriff
murderer fits Long Henry" in every
particular.

IN SEARCH OF PROOF.
J. M. Lewis Interviews Book Dealers
in BILLINGS ana RoZeman

in Billings and Bozeman.
J. M. Lewis, assistant state super
intendent of public instruction, re-
turned last night from a trip through
the eastern portion of the state, says
the Helena Herald, made with a view
to ascertaining just what prices book
sellers were receiving for text books
purchased by the school children Of
the state.
The state superintendent has for
warded to each county superintend-
ent of the state copy of Attorney
General Donovans recent letter. in
which he asks for information on the
subject of text book prices. The
county superintendent are directed
to furnish the state department with
such evidence as to violations of the
contracts with the publishing houses
as they can, the object being; as
stated in the attorney generals let
ter, to bring proceedings against the
companies.
Mr.. Lewis said today that there
was already ample evidence to show
that the text book companies had
failed to keep their contracts with
the state. If it were proposed to
bring an action to recover damages,
| fuller~ and more specific evidence
now in the possession of the state
superintendent.
Mr.. Lewis visited Billings and
| Bozeman. In both places he found
that dealers were purchasing books
through Ainsworth of Chicago, who
dealt with the publishers. In the
case of the Graphic copy books re-
quired in the public schools, the deal
ers are compelled to charge 10 cents
for each book, when the contract with
the publishers fixes the retail price
at cents a copy. Ainsworth has
informed the dealers that he buys the
books at 81 cents dozen. One dealer
in Bozeman has been paying that
price for them part of the time, and
| so cents a dozen some of the time.
One Billings dealer stated that he
paid 81 cents dozen for the books,
and that he had paid as high as 81
cents dozen for them.
The books are being retailed at 10
cents a copy in all parts of the state.
1t is understood, however, that the
publishers have allowed Ainsworth a
new rate for the books and that in
the future they may be sold to the
dealers at a price that will permit
them to be retailed at cents a copy.
Mr.. Lewis did not find so much
abuse in the case of other books fur
nished.
THE greatest trouble" said Mr.
Lewis today, "arises from the fact
that the companies do not keep all
the books required on sale in this
state. Their contracts provide that
these books must be kept for sale in
each county and that part of their
contracts are violated in about every
county in the state

For San Jose Scale.

convention Professor Johnson of Ma

treatment for San Jose scale, where the
trees to be treated are few, but it is
too expensive in large orchards. Where
trees are not more than twelve feet
in height fumigation may be practiced
at cost of from to II cents, not
counting cost of apparatus. He recon-

spread it thinly on strips of cloth and
when the graft is made heat one of
these strips over a lantern and bind it
about the union. The common way,
however, is to work the wax in the
hands until it is soft and then apply
enough to protect the graft and hold
the scion in place.
There are ways of making CRAFTS al
most without number. In nursery
work, where the scion and stock are
about the same size, the whip or
tongue graft is most successful. To
make this cut stock and scion at the
same slant, then split so as to make
the tongues, as shown at B in the first
cut. See that the tongues are so placed
that the union will be continuous. Up
on large stocks cleft grating is usual
ly employed. To make the cleft graft
saw the stock squarely off, split it,
white the scion to wedge shape
and insert it in the cleft. Two scions
are often inserted, one on each side;
then if one dies the other may contin-
ue to grow. If both live, the weaker
one is cut away.

burst This is the general rule, but
the apple may be successfully grated
after the buds have opened.
