PIECE ROOT GRATING.
Apple Trees n the Northwest.
esn states.

A few years ago there was much noise
made by some nurserymen regarding
the superiority OF Ludded and whole
root grated trees over those propagat-
ed by the piece-root graft II Is now
generally conceded that the piece-root
graft gives the better results, as q rule.
Wesley Greene. OF the Iowa Horticul-
tural society. gays:
The wnole-root grated and budded
trees may be considered Of about equal
hardness In this state. The root sys-
tenn n the budded and whole-root graft
ed tree is entirely that Of the stock on
which the variety Is worked. There
may be a few instances where roots are
formed above the point OF union when
trees are transplanted deep while
young. but such would be an exception
and not the general experience OF the
growers planting them. II the stock
used was as hardy as the variety
worked on 1t there would be no objec-
ton to such trees when the other re-
qurements OF the roots were equal to
the demands OF the variety worked on
1t. Unfortunately, however. many OF
the seeding stocks are not hardy and
that is the reason why budded or whole
root grated trees are not so desirable to
plant In this state as trees grown on
their own roots or roots Of equal hardi-
ness.
The superiority claimed for trees
grown from the piece-root gratis Is
that the scion. when planted deep,
forms roots and In time the tree Is on
Its own roots. The piece Of root sim
ply serves to keep the scion alive until
II can form roots of its own. All scions
do not form roots readily and the length
OF scion and root used varies as well az
the depth at which they are planted, so
there is considerable variability as 10
the extent TO which piece-root grated
trees are on their own roots. However
the consensus OF opinion is that the
piece-root system of propagation is the
best TO use for apple trees to plant In
the northwest"

The United States senate seems TO be

This difference is doubtless due TO
the new states which have come into
the union since that time, whose pollt-

given the senate two youthful men,

WHAT IS "MALGA?'

Malaga is not designed TO be Cure-all,
as at first might appear. 1t is a purely
vegetable compound, containing the ac-
tive medicinal properties which Nature
has placed in the hands of the careful
student in the realm of Botanical research,
and is the result OF years OF practical ex-
perience in the laboratories OF two Of
the most successful practitioners in the
United States, men who enjoy the fruits
OF an international reputation, well and
nobly earned by their success in combat
ing disease with Natures own remedies.
Malaga is especially prepared tocombat
and destroy the germs of Malaria, Chills,
La Grippe and Fever. 1t acts quickly,
eliminating the disease through the Kid
neys and Liver, healing and purifying
them. and cleaning the blood OF refuss
matter and disease.
Malaga will cure Acute and Chronic Kid
ney and Liver Troubles, Pains in the
Back. Joints and Limbs, Mucous, Blood
or Brick Dust in Urine. IL strengthens
the Urinary Organs, and makes Thick,
Sluggish and Scanty Urine flow freely
at will.
1t strengthens the Mucous Membranes
that are effected by Catarrh, Colds, ETC.,
eiiecting a radical and quick cure.
Malaga il also composed OF slightly bit
ter tonic principles, which make 1t an
ideal Tonic and Appetizer, and cure for
Nervousness, Indigestion and Stomach
Troubles.
Anyone living in Malarial, Chills and
Typhoid Districts should always have a
bottle Of Malaga on hand and take itonce
or twice day to prevent contamination
with those diseases which are ever pre-
sent and ready to attack a debilitated
and enfeebled body. Fortify yourself
against these attacks by taking Malaga as
directed.
