HE AVOIDED THE RUSH.
Hiram's Conversion Led Hank to
Make a Call in Good

Among those present at the revival

never paid his bills and was generally
unpopular. relates the Kansas City Star
Among those who got religion on that
night was Hiram Bloodless. Very early
after the general appeal for those who
were wicked to repent. Hiram tottered
to the front. fell on his knees and
shouted at the top of his voice: 1--WE
got it. I've got it,"
After the excitement of this extraor-
binary conversion had died away there
was an appeal from the pulpit for testi-
monials on the part of the new con-
verts, and Hiram was nothing loath to
tell just how he felt He spoke of the
great calm in his soul, his sudden belief
in all the doctrines of the church, and
then in spirit of extreme humbleness
he turned to the audience and said:
Friends. | have done much wrong in
my life. I have injured many. I have
been unjust to all of you want thos1
of you whom l have wronged to know
tonight that my life work will be to
repay you twofold. threefold. yea. four
fold. From tonight am a Christian
man
Hiram sat down to the tune of feryent
amens and loud hosannahs and he went
home in complete satisfaction with his
n vnNlr l. ~
gratulations of his joyful wife and re-
tired to his bed in great peace At two
O'Clock in the morning there was a
knock at his door. In fear and trem-
bling Hiram. still shaking from his sud-
den conversion, tiptoed to the door and
opened it.
Who's there?" he inquired.
Me, Hank Stubbins," came the an

becomes thickened. the chance of fail
ure will be greater at that time, owing
to the evaporation from the leaves. The
method employed depends to some ex-
tent upon the size and kind of tree
upon which 1t is to be used.
The form commonly used upon small
trees is known as the whip or tongue
graft. 1t is especially adapted for root
grating. Fig. 1. The stock % is cut
off at an angle, and a shaving of the
bark and wood is removed from the
lower side of the end; tongue is then
cut near the end. The scion is pre-
pared by. cutting off the lower end so
that the exposed surface will be about
one inch long. (2) In the middle of
this a tongue is cut. The tongues on
the stock and scion are then fitted to-
sether so that the inner bark on one
side of the scion will be in contact
with that on the same side of the
stock. The graft should then be bound
firmly together. go This may be done
either with waxed Irvine, paper or
cloth. These are prepared by dipping
the string or cloth in melted grating
wax, and. in the case of paper, by APP
plying the wax with brush. The
Irvine answers for root gratis, but the
paper or cloth should be used where
the gratis are above ground. unless
grating wax is used with the cvine.
For grating this method succeeds
best where the stocks are from one
fourth to one-half inch in diameter.
The scion should be about three inches
long, with bud near the end, as in
Figs. l. 9.
When used for root gratis the scions
should be five inches in length and the
root about four inches. From a good
Seeding, two stocks for root CRAFTS can
be obtained. These gratis are made
during the winter, and are then tied
in bundles and packed in sand in a
cool cellar. By spring a perfect union
will have formed, and a callous will
appear at the lower end of the root
from which rootlets will soon appear
after the loot graft has been planted.
Although not in common use. a
form known as veneer grating has
much merit for small stocks either for
root or stem grating. 1t is shown in
Fig. 2. the parts being the same as in
the illustration of whip-grapting. Its
merit comes from 'the fact that cam
blum surface only is exposed, which
makes it possible for more perfect
union to take place than when the
pith is exposed, as in tongue-grafting
Greater care is required, however, to
bring the parts into the close contact
which must be secured in order to at
| tain success.

Piles of Brush Are Breeding Places

While nearly every person under

in handling the crop furnish crevices
where the larvae and pupae of cod

him back safe and sound. The prince,
smiling, said: why, yes. hope so,

MULCHlNG TREES.
Productiveness of Apple
Trees.

In a recent issue of the Farmers
Review | mentioned the matter of
mulchinS apple trees newly set on a
hillside, writes a Floyd county Qa.)
farmer. The editor calls attention to
the fact that | did not mention the
material, but suggests that 1 probably
meant horse manure. 1t was quite
natural that | should omit the men
ton of the material, though that omis-
sion was unintentional. We live in
the edge of a small city, and not more
than half mile from all the stable
manure we can possibly use. We can
have it for simply drawing it, and
sometimes we are even helped to load
it. There are cases where the owners
of this horse manure have paid ten
cents load TO have it hauled away.
This gives us plenty of fine mulching
material. If, however, we were out
four or five miles from town the mat
ter of mulching or cultivating would
be a very different one. | seldom fail
to mulch my orchards every season.
| begin ins the fall as soon as the
ground is frozen few inches deep
and Put ON the mulch throughout the
W-HltI III blOuhu b'5ih' ~
thaw in the spring. l have done very
little cultivating since the severe les
sons taught me in the winter of 1875.
Now | aim only to keep the ground
free from grass for about yard
around each trunk.
When | find tree heavily set with
fruit | try to cover the ground thor
oughly under such tree, and the richer
the material used in this mulching the
better. | never saw an apple tree
make too much growth either the year
it bore heavily or the next. AS long as
our trees are grown on tender roots
| hold to grass rather than the bare
soil. l think this better than the con-
slant and laborious task of cultivation.
also wish to say that while ma
nure a foot deep around the trees may
be all right, a half foot of horse ma
nure VIII do. 1t is not always easy
to get enough horse manure to mulch
foot deep.

Cooks Perquisites.

e. 2. Gross, the mayor of Harrisburg,
was condemning the fees and unfair
pc quisites which swell unduly the sala-
ries of many un:mportant officeholders.
Fees and perquisites," he said, tend
to cause unjust dealings. Even in the
Kitchen this is so.
"A butcher told me the other day that
young woman, the cook in a prominent
failily hereabputs, came into his shop
and said:
Gimme fine large roast O. beef
with plenty O. bones.'
Plenty OF bones?' said the butcher
In amazement
Yes answered the young woman.

PUT HIS FOOT IN 1T.
That Was What the Dude Did,
Metaphorically to the
officials Hat.

Mr.. ]. Meta McGill was walking from
the patent Office to his own Office when
he came face to face with a nor wester,
relates the Washington Post.
Mr.. McGill is not of the excitable
kind. but when that nor wester struck
him he lost his head-or rather ris
hat.
Hey. there" cried the ex-register,
stop that brand new hat of mineI
Won't some one stop it,"
There was something in the profess
sor's voice that appealed to dapper
looking stranger, who made a lunge at
the headgear, but could do no better
than put his foot through it. Conse-
quently the brim WAS the only part rec
ognizable after the fatality.
We'll, you certainly have put your
foot in it, shouted Mr. McGill
Beg pardon, what did you say?

off through n vent. then emptying the
wheat out and drying it; also by using
the wagon tank method; but the quick
est, safest and most successful method
is as follows: Take two boards 16 feet
long and one foot wide and make two
troughs eight feet long. Cut kero-
sene barrel in halves to make two
tubs. Set these tubs on the granary
floor nearly eight feet from wall (see
illustration) and nail one end of trough
to wall about six inches above top CT
tub. Put a concave, six-inch board up-
der each trough to strengthen 1t and
carry off leak. Use gunny sacks and
dip one bushel at a time, letting grain
remain in mixture about two minutes.
Six sacks can be set in each trough,
and will quickly drain so as to set on
floor. In this manner | have dipped
grain early in the morning and sowcd
in an ordinary seeder after dinner
without removing grain from sacks to
dry. | have always made the solution
stronger than recommended"

ROOTS FOR DAIRY COWS.
Experiments at Nebraska University
Prove That They Should Be
More Largely Used.

Such experience as | have on this
subject has been mostly in the way of
experimenting. We have fed at this
station several years roots and also
silage says A. l.. Hacker, Dairy Hus-
Dandman at University of Nebraska.
In an experiment to test the value OF
roots of sugar beets as compared with
silage we found the latter gave about
the same results, and could be pro-
duced for about one-half the cost of
the beets. However, find some ami
mails do not care much for silage and
greatly prefer the beets or mangles.
Such animals will invariably do better
II fed on beets. / am a firm believer
IN the use of succulent feeds, not only
for dairy cattle, but also for fattening
stock and sheep. When fed to fat
stock, roots should not be giveE in
large quantities, and small rations will
greatly assist digestion and keep the
animal in a healthy condition. | so
arrange 1t each year that | have in
the root cellar several tons of sugar
oeets, or mangles, and to certain mem
Ders of the herd these are fed in
preference to the silage | have fed
turnips but find them much inferior to
sugar beets, being too watery, and
they are not reIished by the stock
Have also tried rutabagas, but have
not had very much experience with
these roots. l find no root raised IN
thls country that is so relished by Ii
STOCK as sugar beets. This, no doubt
Is due to so much saccharine sub
stance.
On the whole, 1 believe we should
advocate the growing of more root
crops. Great improvements could be-
made If more were fed. and there Is
no doubt but that the tendency will
he to increase this ration.

German thus ranks third in number
'among the four leading languages of
