Budding and Drafting.

Buuu1Hr III
There are very apt to be times when
if would be to the interest of every
Good farmer to know how to bud and
graft.
The doing of these things is simple
enough when once II has seen them
done by a person who really knows
how. More help can be given in such
cases by one object lesson than by
many lessons furnished otherwise, and
hence our advice to those who would
best and most assuredly be informed
regarding these affairs is to go to a
nursery and see the work done.
The principle to be observed in both
budding and grating is substantially
the same. The idea is to so place the
parts to be Joined that the orr is
closely fitted to the other and so to be
held by tying or otherwise until the
parts thus brought together become
united into n growth.
The ordinary play Of the air should
be excluded until Il union L7tween the
parts sought to be joined tas actually
been formed.
In budding a bud is transferred from
one tree to another. This is done when
the bark on the tree from which the
is taken will separate from the wood
peel, as it is said.
A sharp knife-there are knives made
for the purpoSe-to do nice cutting is
required to open the way to where the
bud is TO be inserted, and also in re-
moving the bud from it's place of origin.
After the bud is inserted in it's new
place, the bark raised in giving it adj
mission is brought carefully and closely
around it, taking care that the bud pro-
trudes above the tying.
There are many different kinds Of
Srafting-Whip-grafting. veneer-graft-
ing, side-grafting, inlaying, cleft-graft-
ing. bark-grafting, MISUNDERSTANDING,
seed-graftins. cutting grating, march
ing, double-working.
And then the CRATER uses what is
commonly termed wax in this service.
This is a mixture v~ariously made. the
object of which is to cover up and so
help the CRAFTS.
Whatever the kind Of grating, it is
always required that bark must be
Joined to bark and young wood to
young wood.
Thus when a scion is joined to a
branch of tree larger than itself, it is
necessary to insert.it ON n side of the
larger growth.
Though grating has to be of various
kinds to meet the many different re-
quirements that appear, the rule stands
that growths of corresponding age
must be brought together and kept to-
gether if there is to be success in the
undertaking.
And then we know that some kinds
of plants can be induced to form per-
feet unions in this way and some cam
not. Plants have their aftinities and
fixed antagonisms much as have ami
mals.-Home and Farm.

SUNLIGHT Need by Fruit.

It is impossible for good fruit to be
produced and we'll colored unless the
trees-body, branches and leaves-as
we'll as the ground surrounding them
be fully exposed to the sunlight. Every
orchard should be carefully gone over
each year and judiciously pruned, so
that air and light will be admitted.
Too much top should not be left to
induce overbearing; this obviates the
necessity Of cutting away large branch
es and adds materially in procuring
frst-class fruit. - Southern Fruit

sert and proclaim that If they had the
ballot all this would be changed. How
was it with Tom Strohm? Did he not
tory. they ignore philosophy. They vir-
tually deny the fact that the family
not the individual is the social unit.
Theoretically every man has a wife.
every woman a husband. The only
theory on which woman suffrage can
be efficiently grounded is the ridiculous
one that the interests of man and his
wife are not identical but antagonistlc
or that the average man is not suffi-
GENTLY intelligent and patriotic to ex-
ercise the franchise but that the aver
age woman is both.
The saying that "the hand that
rocks the cradle rules the world can
not be successfully controverted and
the occupant of the cradle is what it's
mother has made it. 1.-THE child is
father to the man" is another wise old
saw and the mother has much more in
fluence in giving the child it's charac-
ter than has the father Is it neces-
sary to prove this? Therefore it fol-
lows that If the men are bad they may
thank the women for it. Don't forget
that the mothers of all the boys are
women, all their nurses are women,
and when the children reach schol age
their teachers are women.
The wisest man said Bring up a
child in the way he should go and when
he is old he will not depart from it"
From all this it follows that if the men
are not good it is because the women
have bungled their jobs. In view of
this overwhelming evidence of their in
competence, on what reasonable ground
can they ask for the mems jobs? They
are admitted failures in their own
work, of which they have had a mo-
nopoly for all the ages; on what, then,
do they base their assertion that they
can do better in work that is new to
them?
They ignore the laws of nature, they
forget all history and experience. When
a woman makes blunder or commits
a crime she'll want to crawl out under
her petticoat. When man is con-
victed of willful murder. why, hang
him, of course; but when woman is
the criminal-oh. what barbarity and
lack of chivalry to think of hanging a
woman! "Turn her loose. she is wo-
man." For Gods sake. give us a rest
from this incessant cackling.
Los Angeles is pretty decent city,
fully as good. respectable and moral
as any other city of its size in the
country; but chiefly through the ma
chinations of these club women we are
periodically inflicted with lot of inn
ported so-called reformers who try to
create discord and work us for what
there is in 1t. Why don't these people
reform Chicago, New York and other
cities where they hail from, instead Of
boring us to death and exciting rea-
sonable men (and women) to profan-
ity? And echo answers. why? will

THE cTTYs cRnATnR WATER SUPPLY

The most important event IN the modern history Of

The water commissioners and their allies have done
service of nestimable value for Los Angeles. They
have solved the most important problem involved in
the ctys future They removed the only obstacle
to full confidence in the belief that Los Angeles is
destined to be the city par excellence of the Pacific
coast.
The purchase Of the Owens river watershed, as pro-
vided for in the options secured will afford adequate
supply for fifty years ahead of what Superintendent
Mulhoand water fright down from the great

cost of this supply the is comparatively trivial
The figure for complete title to the land comprising
the watershed is s1125OOO That investment will be in
anitely the best one ever made by Los Angeles.

city will be- of course, heavy item Of taxation Super

advanced take the water supply from the San Fer

the general debacle of the strike riots,
when everything looked as IL chaos
had come again and every man and his

could get hold of in his inner vest
pocket and banks were not, to all or

Judge Widney, in addition to his
banking, judicial and law affairs. had
always been interested in exploiting
the San Fernando valley. Largely
through his energy and insistence
Maclay began to develop his magni-
ficent property. 1t was soon shown TO
be a splendid wheat region, largely
through the efforts Of the Messrs. Hub
bard and Wright, the former the SON.
in-law Of Senator Maclay, and by the
Van Nuys and Lankershims. The Por-
ter brothers soon came in and adopted
wheat, olives and oranges as their spec
ialties. Through their efforts improve
ments of every kind were stimulated.
Places of beauty and productiveness,
like that of ex-Sheriff John Burr, have
sprung up. on every hand.
Judge Widney himself has not been
behindhand in personal veal. He has
created for himself an ideal home, and
he has associated with 1t decidedly
commercial feature. He has made the
cultivation Of the olive a speciality, and
his picked olives and olive oil are In

The Farm Vagary
In closing these rambling reminis-
cences and reflections 1 wish to call
attention to the fact that when a man
in business in New York or any large
eastern city indulges in the vagary of
a farm, his friends Immediately begin
to pity him. 1t is assumed, and rightly,
that he is sure to lose money. They
begin to count the cost of each to-
mato, bean or potato, and the process
is not without it's rationale.
In regions like the San Fernando the
case is altogether different. Take that
of Judge Widney for instance. He now
has an olive grove which is yielding
him a handsome income on the in
vestment. He knows that there are
said to be olive trees in Palestine that
were in bearing at the time Christ was
crucihed. If this be regarded as
apocryphal. there are any number of
places In italy, in Spain and in the
south of France where the olive is
yielding at the age Of three or four
hundred years. What poetical and
practical incentives are there not to
such rural pursuits? There are at
tached to them none of the things
which makes a New York broker look
for ridicule when his leisure is sup
posed to be associated with farm.
There are today hundreds of people
in the San Fernando valley and In the
approaches that lead up to 1t ana

who are laying the foundations for ex-
