GRAFTING MADE EASY.
Never Failed to Produce Fairly
Satisfactory Results.

In grating a Seeding one or two
years old the graft is put on just
above the ground and but one cutting
is used. To graft a tree to change
the fruit is another matter and in
stead of cutting the tree of below
the limbs three or four of the lower
limbs are cut off eight or ten inches
from the trunk or the main branch
and two cuttings or gratis are placed
in each limb. Should the operation
prove successful the following year
all the branches above the gratis
may be removed with little danger
of losing the tree. A tree of most
any age may be grated in this way
and in a few years be in good bear
ing. The grating outfit is simple,
comprising jackknife, small saw
and a dish of grating wax. In Sc
lecting gratis only the last years
growth of new wood should be
chosen.
Figure A shows how to make the
scion. They may be several inches
long and contain two or three buds

Culture of Strawberries.

There are three methods now fol
lowed by the best growers, known as
hill culture, the hedge row and the
half-matted row. BY the first, plants
are set from IL to IS inches apart in
the row, and all runners kept off Sc
that no other plants can form. The
hedge row method consists in having
plants from 6 to 12 inches in the
row. with runners kept off; and the
half-matted row method is to plant
in the usual manner with plants is
to SO inches in the row, the first run
ners that appear just where wanted,
until there is row about 12 inches
wide, with plants not more than six
inches apart. After the row is filed
in this manner, keep the runners off.

each. The bottom end which Is to
be inserted into the limb should be
wedge shape. Figure B gives an idea
how the limb appears with a split top
in which the CRAFTS are set. Two
cuttings should be placed in each
limb to be sure of good stand.
After they are placed in position
some orchardists bind them in place
with cord or twine to make them
secure before the grating wax is ap-
piled. This answers as safeguard,
but il is not absolutely necessary.
In placing the scion it is important
to have the inner bark of scion and
stock come together so that the sap
will flow from the tree to the cut
ting After this is done the wax
should be applied so that the joint or
splice is well covered, thus keeping
out the air and water. Should all the
gratis live the weaker ones should be
pruned away.-Orange Judd Farmer.

One of the plants most service
able in the farmers garden is as
paragus. Once well established an
asparagus bed is perpetual, II it is
handled right after it comes into
bearing. Fifty plants will supply an
ordinary family with all the aspara-
gus tips they can use. The plants
should not be set closer than 1s
inches In the row, and should not be
permitted to go to seed. II the seeds
are permitted to ripen and fall on
the ground they will send up innum-
cradle stalks and these make trouble
in asparagus growing. This can be
prevented by cutting out the sprouts
that bear seeds just before they turn
yellow When one-year old plants
are set, cutting for use may begin
the third season. Each day all the
sprouts should be cut, even II some
Of them have TO bs thrown away

A Mamm 9th Hay EARN.

Five thousand acres of swamp land
in Oregon, says the Hay journal, will
be reclaimed and made to produce
hay, If project set on foot by live
stock company shall prove successful.
This company has built a dredge,
with which it proposes to dig a ditch
60 feet wide and nine feet deep
through the center of the swamp
which covers large proportion of
Molheur county. BY means of this
ditch it is proposed to drain the
swamp and convert it into great
hay field. 1t is estimated that 1000
tons of hay can be produced annual
ly, where now nothing but swamp
grass fourishes. A San Francisco
company has secured contract to
operate the dredge, and it is esti-
mated that two years will be re-
quired to complete the ditch.

M. Rankin owns II ranches, contain.
ing $4,000 acres; 700 teams and 2eo
men are required to operate the daily
routine work in the busy season while
the crops are under cultivation. Each
sanch has an overseer, who is required
TO make monthly report and to sub.
mit the same to his employer. The
records Of the past years work over
all the ranches show that a total of
1889 head of cattle had been sold for
S172,520 and s,249 head of hogs for
$i11,s46. The total clearance for the
year 1900 amounted to $780, 900. The
expenses, including interest, reach ed

Mr.. Rankin Is close observer and
soon picks out the good qualities of
MS men. He is pleasant and accom-.
modating. daring and energetic, which
qualities have won for him the wealth
he now commands. Besides his farms
he has an interest in several banking
concerns, but to these latter he gives
little attention, and spends most of his
time riding over the ranches to see
that proper care is being given the
stock. Sometimes he lends a helping
hand in pulling steer from the mud;
again he will assist in building shed
for the fattened hogs.

r..cn,.1 ma. week to hear IA
1 nous educator say:
~ "Take up teaching
as life work or let It alone. He added
that the field Of education was already
overcrowded with women who look
upon their occupation not as serious
profession, but as remunerative
means of filling in their time between
graduation and marriage" The edu-
Gators theories doubtless were sound
enough, but is his advice practicable :?
How can girl who chooses the profess
sion OF teaching be sure that it can be
her life work. Must she deliberately
renounce all hope of being married?
Must she resolve to turn deaf ear to
every suitor? Is an intellectual wom-
an to be barred from the profession
by the possibility that she will marry,
and on the other hand, is a successful
teacher to refuse to marry because she
feels that her first duty is her chosen
vocation? These are questions, ac-
cording to the Milwaukee Sentinel,
that the educator would find difficult
to answer. An effort to increase the
proportion of men teachers has been
made recently in various parts of the
country, but it is likely that women will
always predominant in public school
work. The gentle sympathy and in
exhaustible patience of women fit them
for teachers in the lower grades where
1t is impossible for men to compete
with them. In the higher studies they
are also most successful, for they
bring to their teaching singleness of
purpose and an enthusiasm rarely
found among men. There will always
be many women teachers who do not
marry, but the majority will seek
homes of their own. The well-trained
teacher should become a wise mother.
She should be able to supplement the
work of those who instruct her chill |
dren at school. The famous educators |
advice is good indeed when construed |
in.its largest meaning. Teaching is n !
life work with every woman If she ac-
cepts her noblest duties and fulfills her |

The first cranberrles Of the season
come fr,m Cape Cod. 1t was here
that cranberry cultivation was inaug-
urated ut the beginning Of the last
century. Cops Coz Furnishes q large
proportion of the best berries and
about two-thirds of the total crop of
New England. Next in yolume of
productiveness comes New Jersey.
Part of the states crop is made up
of wild cranberries. These are some
times picked before they have begun
to color, then spread on the ground
and exposed to the sun for six
weeks. 1t il claimed that iny this
way deeper color is secured. a
Following New Jersey comes New
York berries, most of which are
grown on Long Island. These, as q
whole, are particularly good berries,
large in size, and, for that reason,
attractive. The cranberry is the one
fruit whose quality is held second to
its appearance.
There are cranberry bogs in Wis
consin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa,
Indiana and northern Ohio. The
western berry seldom finds its way
east, for the home demand is as great
;s' the supply. For this reason the
eastern berry often finds it's way well
toward and sometimes beyond the
Mississippi. Generally it il of bet
ter quality, for the production of
western berries gathered from wild
vines Is large.
Every year cranberries are shipped
to Europe and statistics show q
steady increase of expectation. 1t is
only natural that this increase should
occur, because the American cram
berry is superior to the European. d
England receives most of it's cram
berries from Norway and Sweden,
but they are not nearly as good as
the American product. Perhaps poor
quality has caused the cranberry to
lack in popularity abroad. Certain
it is that nowhere is this berry so
popular as in the United States,
where the quantity consumed is larg-
er than the rest of the world uses
