Disappears From Home.

James R. Mcmahon, 80 years old
and living with his wife at 351 Jessie
street, was reported yesterday to the
police as missing. Mcmahon, who is
a carpet-layer, left his home last Sat
urday evening to draw his week s
wages. He attended a dance that
evening with a friend, and since has
not been seen. His wife is unable to
account for his disappearance, but the
police think he may have gone to Chi
cago. where an old friend lives, or that
he is on prolonged spree. On Feb
rUary % Mcmahon distinguished him
self by assisting in the capture of two
burglars who were robbing the lodg-
ing-house of Mrs. Lola Joakin at 341
Jessie street. When he discovered the
presence of the thieves he got shot

DONOHOE BANK ATTACHES
A MANUFACTURING FIRM

A writ of attachment was served
yesterday by the Sheriff's deputies on
the firm of j. G. Grannis & Co., which
is engaged in the manufacture of
steam and hot water appliances at
565-569 Mission street. The attach
ment was sued out by the Donohoe-
Kelly Banking Company to secure the
payment of three notes aggregating
$4,000.
V. E. Grannis. secretary of the firm,
said last evening that the attachment
in no way affected the solvency of the
firm and was the result of a series of
incidents that could not be controlled.
He said the three notes upon which
the attachment was sued out repre-
sented the sum borrowed by his firm
to enable it to complete some large
contracts, payment on which would
Immediately relieve the firm of its
temporary financial straits. Payment
for these contracts, he said, had been
held up on account Of the delay of
the architects in passing on the work,
but the payments would soon be made
and the notes taken up.
In conclusion he said there would
he no assignment and that the firm
would continue on its regular course.

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

A majority of farmers now look at the
cream separator as a necessity.
Cow manure Is a valuable fertilizer,
but adds no richness TO the milk.
The sooner the cream is separated
from the milk the better quality Of but
ter you can make.
Bitter milk Is generally caused by
bacteria. Keep the stable free from
dust and remove the milk as soon as 1t
is drawn from the COW.
Unwashed butter, II the buttermilk
is well worked out, will keep as well or
better than butter washed in impure
water, II butter is worked too much II
spoils the grain. hence the value OF
washing out the buttermilk when good
water can be obtained.
The ideal COW of the Holland breeders
is OF wedge shape, with shoulders mod
erately thick, the chest full, the barre
long, ribs spreading, abdomen strongly
held up. the hips broad, the rump long
broad ana carried out high, the quar-
ters straight. wide and full. and last bu
not least, broad and strong spins

CLEFT GRAPHING.

contact may have smooth surface:

the surface may not be dried by ex-
posure.
Grafting-wax Is generally used for
covering the wounds made In grating.
A good grafting-wax is one that will
not become too soft in summer. so as
to melt and run down the stock, or so
hard In winter as to crack and split on.
A very reliable grafting-wax is made
by melting together four parts by
weight Of resin. two parts Of beeswax
and one part of tallow. When well
melted, pour into pail Of cold water,
grease the hands slightly. and pull the
wax until It is about the color Of pulled
molasses-candy. Make into balls. and
store for use. This wax should be
warmed when applied II 1t Is, too
hard. more tallow and less resin may
be used
Clay is frequently used for covering
wounds made by grating, and gives
quite as good results as any OF the
wakes II properly applied. For this
purpose some very tenacious clay
should be used. and 1t is thought to be
improved when mixed with about one
third fresh cow-dung and little plas-
terer's hair The whole mass should
be thoroughly worked over before us
ing.
Cleft-grafting Is a very common form
OF grating. and is more universally

commonly performed to change the
bearing OF apple. plum and various
other trees and plants. II Is generally
the most practical method to use or

small stocks.
Cleft-grafting is performed as fol

sertion Of the scion should be where
the grain OF the wood is straight. Thu
stock Is then cut square of with |
sharp saw, and is split through its cen

chisel until the scion is cut and insert

and so hold 1t in place. II the stocl
does not spring back so as to hold tn
scion firmly, 1t should be tightly draw
together with a string. The numbe
of scions inserted will depend upon tn
stock. II the stock Is not over three
fourths of an inch In diameter, on

stocks two may be put in. All the Gu
surfaces. including the ends OF tn
scions, should now be covered wit
wax. The scion to be inserted In clef,

HINTS ON FRUIT GROWING.
The Science Of Cleft Grating De-
scribed So That Any Bright
Man Can Practice It.

"Stock" Is the term used to indicate
the plant grated upon, whether large
or small.

the part inserted, of whatever size or
form 1t may consist. These should be
OF the new, well-ripened growth of the
season. II scions are to be used in the
spring, they should always be cut late
in the fall. Spring-cut scions may often
be used SUCCESSFULLY, but It is not safe
to trust to them, especially IL when cut
open the heart-woOd appears dark-col-
ored. They should be stored in moist
sawdust or sand In a cold cellar, or
buried in the ground outdoors, during
winter.
The principles which underlie graft
ing are the same as in budding-that
is, the scion and stock must be closely
related the work must be done in such
a manner that the inside bark Of both
scion and stock come closely in con-
tact. and at a season of the year and

SELECT GOOD COWS ONLY.
Guesswork in the Purchase Of Dairy
Herd Is Economy That Might
Be Called Criminal.

IL is just as essential to keep good
cows as any other animal. No man
can AFFORD to keep poor cows, and es-
pecially the poor man. If rich man
wants to waste his money In poor
cows 1t Is not quite so bad, but a poor
man must know better, or he cannot
expect much profit. In order to make
headway the poor man must keep ami
mails and use feed that will make the
largest profit. You cannot afford to
keep single COW that does not make
you profit. Be practical and busi-
nesslile and apply the only sure test.
Keep book in which to enter on one
side all milk, cream and butter,
whether consumed by the family or
sold. They are worth in your family
exactly what you would have to paw
for them IL you had no cows. On the
other side enter the feed consumed,
whether purchased or raised on your
farm. The hay or corn fed is worth
on your farm the market price. less
cost of delivering to market. This test
even If conducted for short time, will
show you facts and not what you
guess about 1t. Some people refuse to
spend money for the best feed for
their cows. This is poor economy, be.
cause 1t Is simply an investment which
will bring good returns. In selectint
choice dairy cows; II the richest mill,
is wanted, keep the Jerseys: II both but
ter and milk are wanted. keep the Ayr
shire. but II large quantity of milk 1,
wanted for the manufacture of cheese
then the Holsteins must have frs
place. But, however. in either case al
ways select the best. Suppose yon pa,
$50 for a poor COW and come out evel
at the end of the year. Suppose yo'
pay $50 for first class COW, and a
! the end of the year she can show yo
; profit of $50. If you keep cows TO
| profit just figure this over carefully
1t requires just as good business quail
ties to he successful dairyman as
does to be successful in any .othe
business. II you don't think so you ha
better quit the business.-E L. Morri
in Epitomist.
