EASY PROPAGATION.
Grape, Currnnt and GOOseberries.
LnyerinG and Cuttings.

LHyerinG and Cuttings.
Grapes are rather difficult to propa-
gate from cuttings unless one has had
some little experience. \ Farm and
Fireside writer recommends beginners,
as a genera rule, to grow them by lay
ering, which Is very simple. To do this
successfully the new growth should be
bent to the grou:.d and covered for
about a fest Of It's rGWth in the mid
die of the cane with four to SIX inches
of soil. Treated in this way, sGch
branches will generally have a good
root system by the time the leaves fall,
when they may be taken up, cut into
two parts and treated as small, sepa-
rate plants.
Currants are best grown from cut
tings made early in September or any
time after the leaves fall. They may
also be made up later in the autumn or
even in the spring with very good re
suits. They should be made about
eight inches long and preferably Of the
new growth. They should be planted
out seven inches deep in good, rich,
heavy SOIL setting the cuttings about
four inches apart in rows three feet
apart. Great pains should be taken to
firm the soil carefully around the cut
tings, SO that they cannot be easily
displaced.
On the approach of winter cover the
cuttings with Il mulch of well rOtted
manure about two inches deep to pre-
vent their being thrown out of the
ground by frost. With this treatment
1t will be found that the cuttings are
rooted before the winter sets in, and
they will make a strong, vigorous
growth in the spring
Gooseberries do not grow easily from
cuttings in the northern states, where
they are best grown by layering. This
consists of bending the branches to the
ground the latter part of June or the
1st of July and burying piece of the
new growth for about six inches.
Many small shoots that grow upon
the branches will then produce roots,
and they may be cut apart in autumn,
when, If they are rooted ever 50 little,
they will grow the next spring If plant
ed out and treated about as for cut
tings set in the spring.

SQUASH BUGS IN AUTUMN.
why 1t Is Important tS XIII Of as
Many as Possible.


Many as Possible.
The squash bug so far as is known
develops exclusively on plants of the
squash vine family, including, besides
the squash, pumpkins, melons, Gu
cumbers and gourds. In New Hamp-
shire none of these plants grows wild
to any extent; consequently the bugs
that are present any spring will be
only those that have developed the
previous season upon plants grown by
man.
1t is the common practice to pay no
attention late in summer and early in
autumn to the swarms of young bugs
developing upon the vines, because
there is little danger of serious injury
from them so late in the season, and
this Is the reason why the following
spring the squash bugs swarm into
the fields III such enormous numbers.
Developing In autumn without mOles
tation they migrate TO the woods or
other quarters for winter shelter, re-
naming there until spring, when they
come to attack the new crop. And,
doubtless to Il considerable extent,
every grower may then be responsible
for the attack upon his own vines,
though, of course, there is more or
less interchange of bugs from neigh
boring plantations.
AS a result of this condition it will
be readily seen that it is important to
tumn as possible. This is especially
true of the man who grows squashes
in n region where few are grown by
other people. At least as soon as the
first frost kills the vines the planta-
ton should be thoroughly gone over
with one of the spray pumps that
throw a combination of kerosene and
water, and all the bugs that can he
reached should be drenched with at
least a 10 per cent mixture of kero-
sene.
\ large proportion of the bugs at
this time are in the later nymph stages
and will be able to develop upon the
juices of the stems and miniature
squashcs. They cOngregate in great
numbers upon the latter and are there
easily drenched with the spray. One
should not be content with going over
the field n single time. Many of the
bugs will surely escape. SO that the op-
Grafton should be repeated as often as
any considerable number of bugs are

August the Time-A Tender Plant.
Do Not Pasture Too Soon.
A good deal of alfalfa sown last fall
failed TO live through the winter Not
a little of the failure was due to late
sowing. If it be possible to impress
those who will SOW this season with
the Importance of Immediately prepar-
ing the ground and of sowing by the
middle of August, many failures will
be averted.
To prepare the soil plow, going over
each days work with the subsurface
packer before leaving the field. If no
packer is at hand, then use the harrow
sufficiently to close all large openings
under the burrows. After tvery rain
pack again. Do not try to crush all of
the clods, but try to leave them on the
surface. If at the middle of August
there is moisture enough in the soil to
Sprout the seed, SOW Ii. The quantity
Of seed used varies from twelve to
thirty pounds an acre If the seed is
evenly distributed and half of It grows,
twelve pounds will produce more
plants than can grow ON an acre. But
get good stand at first sowing. 1t is
very difficult to mend poor stand.
If the middle of August finds the soil
too dry to insure growth, defer sowing
until the moisture comes, keeping the
soil narrowed so as to keep down
weeds and to break any crust that may
be formed after light showers. There
is a good deal of risk in sowing later
than the middle of September, so that
If the soil continues too dry until that
date 1t may be better to defer sowing
the alfalfa until next spring.
The farmer who has not experienced
the value of alfalfa will do well to SOW
little patch for trial. Get ten pounds
of seed and SOW on half an acre.
Alfalfa comes up under favorable
conditions almost as quickly as do
plant. Do not let an animal Craze a
bite OF It until you have moved ii four
times. Some say it is scarcely safe to
allow hog or sheep to look through
the fence at it at any time during the
first year OF its existence.
With favorable weather the August
sown alfalfa will make a considerable
growth before freezing weather. But
don't pasture it. Moving it will not
hurt it, but pasturing must be forbid
den. Sow little alfalfa whether the
neighbors do or do not sow.-Kansas
