SCION AND STOCK.
The Relation of the One to the Other
in Producing Fruit.

Everybody knows that when scion
Ia inserted in tree the fruit which
il produces is that of the scion and
net of the stock. There have always
been some who believed. on general
principles. that the stock had some
influence on the fruit, even If 1t could
net he perceived. An imperceptible
influence is hardly worth inquiring
into, but some study has been given
by competent observers, whose con
cllsion is that the root systems OF
some stocks were better purveyors
of nutriment than others, so that
scions grated into them might pro-
duce more or larger fruit than when
grated into other stocks with which
equally good unions were made. But
the curiosity of modern investigators
is Unsuitable. and some people have
been trying to find out how 1t is that
ounce root, for example, will pro-
dlice pear. or an almond root
plum. Some have thought that 1t was
the leaves which did the trick, which
was a rather natural theory. because
the sap Is digested and the nutriment
ngsimilated in the leaves. To deter
mine this point. says an exchange.
heions OF the yellow transparent apple
we're inserted into branches OF the
wild crab. After fruit spurs were
formed all leaves We're removed from
the graft and none allowed to form
during the season. so that all of the
sap was elaborated by the leaves of
the wild crab. At the same time an
other scion of the same yellow trans
parent tree was inserted into twis
of the same branch and allowed to
form its own leaves. Both of these
gratis bore fruit this season. and the
general verdict Is that no difference
either in size. color or flavor can be
detected. In both instances the fruit
Is clearly yellow transparent. This
experiment would seem to indicate
that 1t makes no difference from
whence the sap comes, the fruit will
remain true to its kind.

A story is going the rounds of TIE
Belgian press in which 1t appears thai
the mayor Of one of the communes of
Augers had ordered gamekeeper
and butcher TO take mailman
named Legrand to the St. Gemines
lunatic asylum. On the way the
gamekeeper noticed that their charge
was in one of his lucid intervals. and
concluded that he would never CON
sent to be handed over to the au-
thoritios. 1t was decided therefore
to make him drunk, and all three ad q
journed TO the nearest inn. Legrand
took his liquor kindly: so did the
others: and when the trio arrived at
the asylum the governor could not
make head or tail of their story. He
therefore wired TO the mayor, asking
him which was the man who was to
be detained. The mayor replied: lie
grand" but the telegraphist spelled
1t in two words, lie grand" (the tall
one). The governor. on examining
the three men, saw that one was
much taller than the others. so he
promptly helped him into the strait
waistcoat and sent the other two
away. Ii was three days later before
the error was discovered.

Suggestions for the Setting Out Of
Shade Trees.

In my experience the borers and
sun scald are the greatest obstacles to
the growing of shade trees. have
found it TO be a good plan to coat the
trees with some kind of paint soon
after planting the trees. In planting
Il is well TO remove quite a large por-
ton OF the top part, to enable the
tree to withstand the loss of n part
of its roots when 1t is taken out of
the ground. In digging up trees n
very large portion of the ends OF the
roots is left in the ground. The roots
so left contain rootlets and feeding
hairs in large numbers. AS the root
takes its food through these root hairs.
1t is evident that when the tree is
placed in new ground it is very de
ficient in ability 10 take in food and
moisture enough to supply a large
top. In setting out trees. do not put
them close together. If they are on
lawns. l think that 90 or so feet
is close enough. and for the street
30 or so feet Trimming is necessary
to get a more dense shade and better
shane.

butter, eight tablespoonfuls of flour.
two of grated cheese, one teaspoonful
of baking powder sifted twice with
the flour, half a teaspoonful of salt

these ingredients into a light dough.

the yolk of an egg. and roll it out half
an inch thick; then cut 1t into rounds.
and brush 1t over with the beaten
white of an egg. Bake these In
quick oven. split them open while they
are hot. and serve them at once.
They will also be found useful for
afternoon tea.
Salmon and Cucumber Sandwiches.
Cut rounds of bread slightly larger
than the slice of cucumber, and spread
them with butter and sprinkle the nm.

salt, then spread them with layer
of chopped and pounded salmon.
Next ado a few drops of vinegar and
a little white pepper. then thin slice

slices of cucumber or crisp lettuce
leaves.

To Make Sparkling Lemonade
Some people prefer the effervescence
of the lemon squash beverage. and
often soda water runs short. Spar
king lemonade may, however, be
made. with the addition of bicarbonate
of soda. Take half teaspoonful of
the powder, and dissolve 1t in glass
of water. adding little sugar: then,
having squeezed out the juice of n
lemon. add 1t to this, and a very active
sparkling beverage will result.
