Kinds of Grating.
In reply to our CORES ondent VIII
sag IN the first place that there are
tive kinks of grating which are gen
orally practiced BY most fruit growers

One is what We call root grating"
ard the other top grating" or some
cali it stub grating. 1t is known gen
orally by nli-scr, men and fruit grow

Pretty late in the winter now for do.
Ing root grating The best time for
doing root grating is during inc
months Of January and February. We
Nave gene:a'ly practiced doing it This
time of the year. One of the inain
requisites is a sharp knfe. Next the
root must be trimmed of all the
branches leaving nothing but the
main tap root. If We We're only graft
ing 4 small lot, we would recommend
making crown graft-that is, insert
ing but one scion to each root. There
is no particular secret in the process
of grating: only it will require lit
tie experience in performing the ope-
| ration.
In commencing teke the root in
your left hand. hold III firmly and
make smooth diagonal cut in the
direction of the crown Or upper por-
ton of the Seeding. The length of
the cut shou' | be from t rne-Quarters
to an inch and must be made straight
and smooth. On this diagonal cut
about one-fourth of an inch from the
thin end. make another cut in the op-
posite direction from the first one,
nearly parallel with the axis of the
root This cut is called the tongue
and is made for the purpose of hold
ing the root and scion together. We
would not use over four or five inches

II is Seldom that the scion and
stock are of the same size, and. con-
seouently, both sides of the graft can
not fit; this will make but little dit

fit closely on one side, as this gives
circulation Of the sap from the root

course. there is quite wound made
from the operation. The gratis can
be tied up in punches of twenty-five
fifty or one hundred, and packed
away in sawdust or sand until plant
ing time. which is about April ~ in
this latitude. During this time they
callouse or heal over, as we term In
horticultural parlance.
In this connection we might men
ton that it is best to tie the graft at
the union of the root and the scion.
One Of the best things to use is No.
20 white knitting cotton. BY taking
a ball of this small white thread and
boiling it in wax which Is made OF
tallow. one part, resin four parts and
beeswax two parts, melt together and
while hot boil the ball in the wax.
Then take it out, squeeze all the wax
you can cut OF the ball by using q
clamp of some kind. AS soon as ball
is cool the thread can be unwOund
and wrapped around SO as to strength
en- the graft. This is the commercial
way of doing the work; yet II you
have but few gratis 1t might be we'll
to make the wax as mentioned, but
instead of boiling the ball of thread
in it take an ordinary brush and
spread it on a thin muslin or paper,
as soon as cool tear up in narrow
strips and apply to the wound as
shown in Fig. (B).
After gratis have been made as
above stated they should be packed
The Teton peak. [volume] (St. Anthony, Idaho) 1899-1904, 1904-07-28

away in boxes in cool cellar and
kept there until planting time in the
spring The preparation of the land
is one Of the essentials 1t should be
fertile: should be plowed deep. well
pulver.zed and should be. got in the
yer" best condition for growing
crop.
II you only have 4 few gratis. OF
course they can be planted out in a
ro% Ii your garden: but il you have
few hundred gratis they should be
planted in rows four feet apart and
the gratis six inches apart in the
row. SO that you can tend them with
horse power. They can be planted
| out with a dibble or spade. but
great care must be taken that the
union OF scion and root is not broken,
and they should be planted, only leav.
ing the top bud of the scion exposed.
Firm the dirt well around the graft
when planted. And another essential
| thing is to be careful and label each
variety as you plant them out, using

Cleft Grating.
! This style of grating is what you
will have to employ in grating the
| large apple trees that you mention
that are of poor varieties. You will
have 10 procure some scions from ap-
| pie trees of the varieties that you
wish to graft, anti if you can
find some one In your state
| that has some sconss that were cut
last fall and have been Kept in eel
lar, they will be much better than
those cut from trees that have stood
out all winter. The time for doing
this kind of grating will soon be
here. In Iowa we do our top grating
about March 25th or just as soon az
the frost is out and the bud starts to
swell, which shows an upward flow of
sap. DO not graft on too large limb.
Graft nothing over four inches in di.
ameter. Where you have 10 graft
such large limbs. take and saw them
producing any slivers. After the limb
Is sawed of smooth the wound with
sharp knife. You will have to pre-
pare yourself with sharp one and

MAYOR WAKING SUGGESTED.

The cash plan for starring the work On the Tonto road eriginate1 in Me a, and Mesa's leading citizen an1 may r, J. L. Waring, was the man who set the thought in motion. Some time ago in
 conversation he suggested the feasibif ty of the banks of Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix advancing sufficient money to start the road work OF the Tonto roa q and keep it building unt the roa {! bonds of the different cities were sol l and the money became available. He thought that the banks coul1 wei, af- ford to advance the money without i-- terest, and gave them to under stand that if the banks of Tempe and Phce- nix would do so, the Mesa City bank would take the initiative. This ilel was suggested by Dr. Chandler to MT. Fowler and he at once set in m otion the plan and the moaey in hand is now the result, and the work on the road will in all probability commence ty tha first of the month. Mesa always leads.

There will be a pleasant diversion from the regular routine of drill at the armory of Company C this evening. Dr. Chas. H. Jones, surgeon major or the regiment will deliver lecture on, First Aid to the Injured" It was ex- pected that this would have been de- livered some weeks ago, but owing to circumstances it was postponed from time to time and it is confidently ex- pected that it will take place this evening at the regular drill period.
 Dr. Jones is a fluent speaker and undoubtedly his talk will be highly in teresting and. owing to the nature of it, will also, be very instructive. Every national guardsman should make it a point to be present.

At the end of his journey. or at any stopping place, he is turned loose and at once breaks through the snow to the white moss. which serves as food. It costs nothing to feed him. As the white settlements increase in the mineral-bearing parts of Alaska. and in many places remote from railway and steamboat transportation. the reindeer express will be one of the most import ant factors in territorial life.
