How to Grow Cuttings.

How can you root summer cuttings?
Make a 4 or 5-inch cutting of rose
branch that is coming into bloom, or
is just through blooming. Cut just be-
low an eye, leaving a small heel" or
strip of bark attached. Trim off the
lower set of leaves even with the wood.
Leave the end leaf entire and trim the
leaf or two remaining, back to the
first pair of leaflets. Insert these cut
tings in wet sand up to the last eye.
Put them in the window and keep con-
stantly damp until they root, which
should be in from to weeks. Teas
root easily by this method.
To root from semi-dormant wood:
About the beginning Of autumn, Sep
TENDER in the North, October in the
South, take your cuttings. Several
may be made from one cane, as pretty
we'll ripened wood roots after this
method as we'll as any. Make the cut
tings about inches long. Cut just be-
low an eye. making a slanting cut,
and trim off the lower leaves. Now
dig hole by the parent bush. Put a
handful Of sand at the bottom II you
have it, and put in your cuttings, set
ting them one inch apart and firming
the earth very solidly about them
|Only about an inch of the upper stem
lshould project above the ground. Put
la glass fruit jar over the cuttings
sinking the jar well into the ground
then bank up the earth a couple Of
Inches around the can. Let the cut
tings, jar and all, rigidly alone unit
spring is we'll advanced. 1t will be
found then that nearly every cutting
has rooted. This plan seems to be
success wherever it is tried, North
South, East or West. Nearly all hybrit
teas and perpetuals root we'll in this
way. So do moss, memorial and ram

sion appointed under an act Ct January.

snco to the establishment Of IL new To-
male normal school in Virginia, makes a
number Of startling revelations. which 1t
presents as evidence of the urgent neces-
sity Of improved facilities for the better
training of the public teachers of the
State.
The deliverance Of the commission Is
exhaustive, going extensively into details
and finally recommending system of
State normal schools, the essential fen
tures OF which have already been pub
lished. Arguing for this system. the ooin-
mission sets forth that the children OF
Virginia are often turned over to poorly
equipped female teachers. and that In Its
Investigations 1t met with widespread
demand from every section OF the State
for more thoroughly trained instructors
In the primary and graded schools. At
tontion is called to the fact that there
are few male teachers in the public
schools. the men being attracted away
by the greater remuneration offered by
other pursuits. 1t Is furthermore the
opinion of the commission that not 80
per cent. of the white children receive
any education beyond the grammar
grades. even IL high school be in easy
reach, and 1t Is for the proper training
Of this great Immature class" that 1t
asks efficient teachers.
