PROPAGATING GRAPES.
Tho Success Of This Method Of Hand.
ling Cuttings Repays for the Ex-
ira Labor Involved.

With grape cuttings some varieties
are more easily propagated than 9TH
ers, and this partly explains the diff
ference in the price of plants. In a
favorable season, by procuring the cut
tings of certain varieties in the spring,
sticking them into well-prepared soil
and giving them good care fair meas
ure of success may be obtained. There
are some objections to this method,
however. The vines may have been
materially injured by the previous win
ter's cold; or after the cuttings are
planted the upper buds may be warmed
into life first and attempt to make
vines before there are roots to sus.
tain them, and often make growth of
an inch or two from the food stored up
in themselves, and then die for want
or proper connection with the earth.
With me the following method has
been quite successful: I use wood of
the present seasons growth, prepar-
ing the cuttings for the fall any time
after the sap ceases to flow and before
hard freezing weather. I make them
six or eight inches Long, with not less
than two buds on each. and in cutting
from the vine cut just below the lower
bud, thus leaving the long end of the
cutting to mark it's position when
planted. For convenience I tie them
in bundles of so or 100, being careful
to keep the butt ends even, and place
the bundles, with butt ends up, close
together in a well-drained pit, dug
three or four inches deeper than the
length Of the cuttings. Cover this with
earth until the ground is little more
than level, and as the severe ather
approaches throw on straw or other
litter to keep them intact from heavy
frosts. Early in the spring I remove
this litter and give the sun chance
to start the upper buds, the deeper
buds remaining dormant awhile longer
in the cold earth. AS spring advances
examine the cuttings occasionally, but
do not transplant till the buds are
swollen SO as to warrant extra ham
ding. Then set out the cuttings in a
row four or five inches apart, butt end
down, with the upper bud on a level
with the surface of the ground, and
pack the dirt around each to exclude
the air. By this time the ground has
warmed up enough to enable the lower
buds to continue their growth, and by
the time the leaves appear the roots
will be ready to carry them nourish-
ment. [ have found this method has
more than repaid the extra labor in
volved.-Prairie Farmer.

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Pure, healthy milk will not sour or
faint prematurely unless under the
most adverse atmospheric conditions.
In order to preserve milk in hot
weather, aeration, ice and cold water
are mockery unless the cows are kept
cool and free from irritation.
One frequent cause of rapid de-
generative change in milk in hot wea tn
era cause that is too often over
looked-is the overheating of cows
prior to milking.
TO rush cows into the stable from
the pasture night or morning is to ex-
cite them sufficiently physically to
heat their milk to :feverish point,
quickly undermining it's quality.
When a farmer ceases to consider
dairying simply as "doing chores ," but
to regard it as one of the most impor-
tant interests he has on his place, then.
and then only, is he prepared to make
his cows pay.-Massachusetts Plough
man.

and Annie crept in like little mouse.
She removed her hat carefully, so as
not to spoil the hairdresser's work,
then dropped the bills in her mothers

RENOVATED BUTTER.
Makers of This Now Popular Product
Should Be Compelled to Sell 1t
for What 1t IL.

The war on renovated butter should
be carried only so far as is necessary
to compel it to be sold for what it is.
Here and there a. paper that thinks
it in aiding agriculture is demanding
that congress pass laws to prohibit
the working over of poor butter. So
far as we can see, the working over
of this poor butter does no injury to-
the dairy business. It is true that
such butter will not keep very well
and hence should not be sold for first
class creamery butter. Otherwise it
is certainly an improvement over that
from which it is made. One of the
reasons for working over butter is to
give it uniform color. Certainly
this cannot be considered a crime.
More science in sailing is used than
was the case with the original max
ers. We hear great deal of talk
about rancid butter being the kind
that is worked over, and even if this
were so the charge would not be seri-
Gus, provided the rancidity were TAX
en- out. But we are Informed that
most of the butter now obtainabl is
merely poorly made butter that has
not yet reached the rancidity state.
When men first began to renovate but
ter, without doubt much rancid but
ter was used, but the demand for
cheap butter by the renovating fac
tories keeps the supplies so we'll
cleaned up that the butter does not
have chance to get rancid. We be-
lieve that public opinion among farm
ers is such that congress will never
pass laws prohibiting the renovating
of unskillfully made butter.-Farm-
ers' Review.

Teddy looked very thoughtful.
"But is there anything In the house,
mother? I have been sick good while,
and my last wages must be nearly

The boys mother answered, brave
1y: "Sick folks mustn't bother about

left the room, and Annie saw that she
did so to hide the tears which were
streaming down her worn face.

what it will be?" murmured Annie to
herself, and, crushing her hat down
over her curls, she slipped into the
street.
Annie thought constantly of wine for
poor Teddy, and wondered if she sum-

anyone would be kind enough to give
it to her for a poor sick boy, her only

Hint for Market Gardeners.

Experiments show that it is a risk
to grow onions, cabbages and rad
ishes in succession on the same soil,
as the maggot which attacks the
three plants is really the same in
many respects, for, while differing in
appearance, all gradations have been
found between them. Onions have
been badly affected on ground that
produced cabbages. The cabbage
maggot has also been known to at
tack the radish. The rule should be
not to grow any Of these crops on
land that produced one of the: other
crops the preceding year.

Irritating Berry Patches,

There is one point in favor of fri
gated berries that should not be over
looked, and that is the certainty of a
crop in very dry years when most
berries prove failure. The irrigated
berries, being as abundant as usual,
bring higher price than usual on &C.
count of the scarcity. The New
Jersey station reports that in one
year their berries sold at wholesale
at ten cents per quart, and the
scarcity of berries was not as great
Jas it had been during some other
years.-Midland Farmer.
