may be readily propagated by means
OF cuttings made late in the autumn

comes on Only we'll ripened, mature
wood that has grown during the pre-.
cedlDs summer should be selected for
the purpose, all soft or immature
parts being discarded. The cuttings
themselves should be made six to ten
inches long and the base OF each
should be cut squarely just below a
bud. so the bud Is retained at the low
er end. They should be tied up In
bundles Of convenient size. say, 100 in
bundle. their butts. or basil ends. all
one way, well shaken down. so as to
stand level on a fat table. They may
then, be packed In fresh. moist saw
dust and be kept through the winter
in cellar or callus pit.
Upon the approach OF spring, as
carly as the soil can he worked and
before the buds have begun to grow
on them, says Prof j. c. Whitten. of

very firmly in the soil, so as to leave
no air spaces about them, and set

then be given clean cultivation and

the summer, when usually an excel

A subscriber wants 10 know, says
the Missouri Agricultural College
Farmer, why milk often sourn more
quickly just after a thunderstorm

ways very numerous in the air and
cannot be kept out of the milk These
are most abundant during damp.
