what season OF the year 1t should be
done.
The ordinary method of propagating
plums Is by budding. The shield.
shaped bud is used and it is inserted
IN a T-shaped incision made in the
stock. The stocks are of two kinds,
native and imported. The imported
arc best for the European varieties OF
plums. They are planted in spring,
cultivated 50 that vigorous growth is
developed, and budded in August as a
rule. The budding season depends
considerably upon the locality and the
character OF the weather. If dry and
hot, budding will have to be done
comparatively early. If wet and cool.
the growing season is heightened and
the budding may be done later. There.
fore. no specific date can be given.
The best time to do It Is Just before
the bark tightens down. Occasional
examination of the bark will bring OUT
the right season.

by means OF hydraulic ram?
The least fall that would serve the
purpose is about three feet, and It
would be better to have five feet II
possible. The ratio between the
amount OF fall and the amount of lift
determines the amount of water that
the hydraulic ram can deliver. For
instance. with a fall of Ave feet and a
lift OF forty feet, supposing that the
amount of water delivered TO the ma.
chine Is ten gallons per minute. then
the amount OF water delivered by it
would be about three-Quarters of a
gallon per minute. However, while
three feet, delivering one.half gallon a
minute, would be sufficient fall to op.
crate the machine, greater fall with
the same amount OF water supplied
and the same lift will secure a larger
delivery.

GRADE CROSSINGS

Not 4 week passes without fatal accidents in
large cities at grade crossings One week a train
collides with street car. another week a train
crashes into an excursion wagon and another week
trolley car comes in contact with a vehicle Of some
kind The accidents are often fatal nearly always
serious and sometimes exceedingly tragic
Vigilance at crossings does not seem To remove
the danger. Death is ever in ambush where tracks
cross roads or other tracks Vigilance may promote
safety but does not insure 1t constantly and acci-
dents continue TO be more than a possibility. II is
realized that fatality at grade crossings is a GER
tainty some time for somebody.
Unfortunately public officials have not, in ex-
tending privileges to corporations. thoroughly con-
sidered public safety. Special laws do not contain
as rule any authority for city or State or Federal
officials to have the danger obviated by depressing
or raising tracks constructing v!aducts Munich
palities cannot require the corporations to build
viaducts but must construct them from public funds
1t would seem that the two partes-government
and corporation-ought to unite and settle prob
lem. In some cases municipalities have authority
whatever over corporations and in order TO cause
improvement must rely on the force of public opin
lon.
