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 split top
in which the CRAFTS are set. Two
cuttings should be placed in each
limb to be sure of a good stand.
After they are placed in position
some orchardists bind them in place
with cord or Irvine to make them
secure before the grating wax is APP
piled. This answers as safeguard,
but it 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
CRAFTS live the weaker ones should be
pruned away.-Orange Judd Farmer.

GRATING MADE EASY.
A Down East Method Which Has
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 tree to change
the fruit is another matter and in
stead of cutting the tree off 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 CRAFTS are placed
in each limb. Should the operation
prove successful the following year
all the branches above the CRAFTS
may be removed with little danger
of losing the tree. A tree of most
any age may be grated in this way
and in few years be in good bear
ing. The grating outfit is simple,
comprising jackknife, small saw
and dish of grating wax. In Sc
lecting CRAFTS 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

Asparagus on the Farm.

One of the plants most service
able in the farmers garden is as
paragus. Once we'll established an
asparagus bed is perpetual, if 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 IS
inches in the row, and should not be
permitted to go to seed. If 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 if some
of them have to be thrown away

TYPICAL APPLE BOX.
Western Fruit Growers Use 1t to the

A typical box is shown here which

certainly answers the purpose well.
The inside dimensions are 2O1sx11X9A

THE CRANBERRY CROP.
1t la Far More Important Than the
Ordinary Observer Would Have
Supposed.

The first cranberries of the season
come from Cape Cod. 1t was here
that cranberry cultivation was inaug-
urated at the beginning of the last
century. Cape Cod furnishes large
proportion of the best berries and
about two-thirds of the total crop of
New England. Next in volume 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 is claimed that in this
way deeper color is secured.
Following New Jersey comes New
York berries, most of which are
grown on Long Island. These, as a
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 Dogs in Wis
consin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa,
Indiana and northern Ohio. The
western berry seldom finds it's way
east, for the home demand is as great
as the supply. For this reason the
eastern berry often finds it's way well
toward and sometimes beyond the
Mississippi. Generally it is 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 a
steady increase of expectation. 1t is
only natural that this increase should
occur, because the American cram
berry is superior to the European.
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

SCIENCE OF SPRAYING.
Every Farmer Should Study Its Ru-
diments Before Applying POis-
OnOus Substances.

Injury to plants by insects falls un-
der two heads; first, where the plant
itself has been eaten; second, where
the Juice has been sucked out, leaving
the tissues. Insects causing injury
of the first class are called biting
or chewing insects, such as grasshop-
pers, caterpillars, cabbage and army
worms. They have well-developed
jaws fitted for cutting and chewing
plants. They can be destroyed by
using poisons such as the arsenics.
The insects of the second type have
long lancelike beaks which they in
sert into the tissues of the plant,
sucking out the juice, causing the
plant to collapse, wilt and die. This
class includes all the scald insects,
plant lice, squash bug, harlequin and
terrapin bug, etc. The external ap-
plication of arsenical poisons to
plants would have little or no effect
upon this group, as the poison does
not enter the cells of the plants.
Materials are used to act externally
on the bodies of such insects either
as a caustic or to smother or stif1e
them by closing their breathing or
gans. Insects do not breathe through
their mouths, as do higher animals,
but through small openings on either
side of their beaks called spiracles.
By spraying anything of caustic or
oily nature over the body, these
spiracles are closed and the creature
is destroyed.
These remarks apply especially to
insects which feed upon the exterior
of plants or pass the greater portion
of their lives in an exposed condi-
ton where they can be readily
reached by one of the methods men
toned. Insects of both classes at
times feed upon plants above the
ground, for a short while, and pass
portion of their lives upon the roots
below the surface. The white grub
or root lice are common examples,
the former being a biting insect,
while the latter is one of the suck
ling group. Still other insects live
in straw, grain, seeds and manufac-
tured products of the mill where
neither arsenics nor irritants can be
used. In such places the fumes of
various gases are employed for their
destruction. Farmers should care
fully consider the nature of the in
sect before applying any remedy

Best Way to Feed Wheat.

The best form in which to feed
wheat is to roll or grind it into a
coarse meal. 1t may then be fed alone
or mixed with corn meal or ground
oats. When ground fine it is pastry
and adheres to, the teeth, gums and
cheeks, so that it is not so readily
masticated or eaten. In the form of
coarse meal it is relished by all ami
mails. 1t is in a condition to be at
tackled by the digestive processes
whether thoroughly masticated or
not, and in most cases it gives the best
results.
