!. English Cleft; z. Champin;3 g. End to End.
The scions having only one eye were
cut through the second knot, in order
to leave the eye protected by closed
internode. With the scions having
two eyes, the upper cut was made
about an inch above the second bud
eye. Care was taken to prevent the
drying out of the cuttings and after
ward of the gratis.
End-to-end grating, as originated
In France. was practiced in some in
stances. The number of successful
gratis obtained by this method was
low, but those that did unite made ex-
cellent unions. In grating by this
method the ends of stock and scion are
cut at an angle Of about 70 degrees and
held in place by piece Of galvanized
wire, which is pushed into the pith of
each piece.
The proportion of successful Cham
pin gratis was slightly greater than
that of the English cleft. The success
full English cleft gratis, however, were
considered superior to the other in
the matter of completeness and
strength of union.
The experiments with two-eye and
one-eye scions were, on the whole, in
favor of the use of two eyes.
The difference between callusing the
gratis In sand and planting them di-
rectly in the nursery as soon as made
was very striking. Those previously
callused produced 81 per cent. of good
unions, while the others produced but
26 per cent. There was also a differ
ence In the growth of the CRAFTS in
favor of those callused in sand.

STICK TO ONE THING.
A Man Who Wishes He Had Followed
That Rule.

The only way for man on salary
to make success of life, financially
and otherwise, is to stick to one thing"
said department employe to a Star
reporter. Twenty years ago l had
plenty of energy, little money and a
huge stock of ideas. I determined to
become a power in the money market
and as starter dabbled for six months
or more in stocks, at the expiration of
which time came to the conclusion
that Jay Gould knew more about such
things than 1 did. That experience
cost me $4,000. 1 soon became con-
vinced that I Was cut out for drug
gist, and straightway invested $4,000
in pharmacy. Cut rates were un-
known in those days, and in short
time l was doing well, but one day l
read of prominent lawyer receiving
$25, 900 as a fee for some case, and in
stantly became imbued with the idea
that 1 would make great lawyer. 1
neglected my drug business to such an
extent that in two years was $500 to
the bad. In the meantime 1 read law
diligently. After a time graduated
as full fiedged disciple of Blackstone
and hung out my shingle. Business
not coming my way as fast as T
thought it should, l opened small
hotel Result, 81 800 in the hole.
''Then 1 tried my hand at real es-
tate, my legal training helping me
greatly. But the same old story will
have to be recorded here-failure. By
this time my money was nearly all
gone. What to do next was the all
absoring question. One day friend
convinced me that big money could be
made out of chickens. I invested
every cent l had left, 81 200, in hens.
At the end of six months 1 sold out my
hennery for $500. Then 1 got a.
job, and here I've been
ever since. Shortly after my arrival
in this town purchased little land
in the northwest section. That in
vestment has yielded me handsome
return. and 1 am now thoroughly satis- |
fed that the only thing for man on a |
salary to do is to either put little |
each month in some good savings bank |
Or invest bis surplus in land or bricks |
and mortar. Remember one thing, this |
is an age of specialists. Stick to one |
hing, make success of it, and maybe
)ne of these days some big trust COM
pany will offer you a princely salary |
FOR your knowledge. A rolling stone |
gathers no moss, nor money."-Wash-

THE SOUTH AND THE OFFICES.
With One Third of the People That Sec
ti0n Has Few in Public Positions.

The fifteen Southern States are a
third of the makeup of the Union.
Excluding the Territories. their popu
lation is 26, 42S, 1854, or largely more
than one third the total of the forty
five states. They represent vast in
terests of production. manufactures,
commerce, transportation, education,
and national economics. Yet, be-
cause they are of political complex
ion the opposite of the party In power,
they are practically left out of the ac-
count in the distribution of national
hOnors and favors.
The President has Cabinet of eight
members. Equitably proportional &C
cording to population and interests,
three of the number should be from the
South; yet only one. Secretary Hitch
cock, comes from the South and from
the border State of Missouri, that is
almost as much w Western as South
ern State.
There are nine Justices of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and
only two of them from the South.
There are six Ambassadors to foreign
countries, and only one from the South.
Out of twenty-four Ministers PlenipO-
tentiary abroad, there are but three
from Southern States. And of twenty
eight Secretaries of legations and en-
bassies there are but two Southern ap-
pointees.
In the appointment of Commission
ers to the Pan-American Congress, al
though the South is v1tally concerned
in larger relations with the Spanish
countries, We drew one dele
gate, a resident of West Virginia. And
when 1t came to naming ENJOYS to the
of King Edward, the South
Was without name.
There is no complaint against such
oalpable discrimination against this
section that will lie upon other than
grounds. The Republican
President and party have the prerog
ative of power and can ignore the
south in such matters without trench |
ng upon any legal rights we posses.
But it does seem rather slur upon our |
fellow-citizens of the South /

The Story of the Presidents Mother

When Martha Bulloch, the fair
daughter of a wealthy George planter,
married Theodore Roosevelt half a
century ago she little dreamed that
her name would be handed down as
the mother of President. The pretty
romance of her meeting with the New
York man, their courtship and mar
riage, and the long honeymoon journey
In stagecoach, forms a new and in
teresting chapter in connection with
the life of the present Theodore Roose
Welt. In the June number of the The
Ladies' Home Journal this rOmonce
and many unknown facts concerning
the Presidents mother are told by a
cousin of Martha Bulloch.

GOOD PEACH REGIONS.
Expert Fruit Grower Thinks Suitable
Soil Can BE Found In Ali Parts
of the Country.

The past season has been one that
has made peach culture more interest
ing than any other season that 1 rec
ollect in Illinois, from the fact that
they have shipped an excellent kind
OF peaches to market and l suppose
made reasonable amount of money.
We used to talk about peach sections;
it used to be supposed that it was
confined to certain narrow territories,
some of them down east, one of them
over in Michigan, another in southern
Illinois, but the spirit of commercial
ism has led men to study requirements
for successful culture of various kinds
of crops, one of them, Of course, be-
ing the peach, and that study has set
men to hunting for suitable locations.
Knowing the requirements, we find
there are millions of acres of good
peach region. l have no idea of how
much undeveloped first-class peach
land there is in the United States, and
the transportation companies have
made possible the delivery of peaches
grown in any section of the United
States to any other part of the United
States with due dispatch and in good
order. That leaves commercial peach
growers in a position where 1t is a
question, perhaps in the near future,
of survival of the fittest; brutal
old law, but humankind seems to know
no other law but the survival of the
fittest. In the pursuit of the almighty
dollar we know no limit to our am
bitions. Where acres of peaches were
planted a few years ago, whole solid
sections are growing to-day. The mar
ket, of course, has been developed and
extended by the same transportation
facilities; the consumption of all
fruits seems to be on a rapid increase,
although we must doubt as to whether
it can keep up with the wonderful in
crease in the production.-R Morrill,,

Don't Neglect the Garden.

Gardens that pay best are those
that receive the most attention. A
garden will not take care of itself and
yield profit. Probably no part of
the farm pays as large profit as the
garden in good hands. A man that
realizes this will give it the first at
tention in the spring, both as regards
labor and fertilizer. The garden lover
will not forget it when other parts of
the farm also need attention. If man
will not do the work necessary or have
it done, he may as well not attempt to
have a garden.-Farmers Review.
