Make Cuttings Now.

Few people realize how simple a
matter it is to propagate ones W
grape vines, currants, gooseberries and
most ornamental shrubs. II the work
Is properly done these plants may be
readily propagated by means OF cut
tings made late in autumn after the
leaves are off Of the plants, but prefer
ably before cold weather comes on.
Only we'll ripened mature wood that
has grown during the preceding sum
mer should De selected for the pur-
pose, 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 lower end. They
should be tied UP in bundles of con-
venient size, say, one hundred in a
bundle, their butts, or basal ends, all
one way, well shaken down, so as to
stand level on a fiat table. They may.
then, be packed in fresh, moist saw
dust and be kept through the winter in
a cellar or callus pit.
Upon the approach of spring, as ear.
ly as the soil can be worked and be-
fore the buds have begun to grow on
them, they should be planted cot in
| good garden soil. The rows should be
about four feet apart, to admit of easy
cultivation, and the cuttings should
be set very firmly in the soil, so as to
leave no air spaces about them, and
set deep enough so only the uppermost
bud is above the ground. They should
hen be given clean cultivation and
hoed TO keep down all weeds during
the summer, when usually an excel.
lent growth of plants will be secured.
Currants, ~gooseberries, the Marian
No and Golden Beauty plums, some
yt.ieties Of ounces, the harberry
sriroo, mockorange, privet, most var
ieties of shrubs, willows, poplars ant
some other varieties of forest trees
root readily from cuttings handled in
this manner. j. G.. Written.

They Came From Missouri.

Last week there was at Nogales a
man from Missouri, with a family con-
sisting of a wife and six small chill
dren, who surely belle the well known
idea that Missouri have to be shown"
He had sold everything in his native
state and started for Sinaloa without
having ever seen or known anything
of the country, save that he had read
about cheap land and fertility of the
soil. He didn't know where it was, or
where he was going, or what to do
when he got somewhere; and, more.
over, could not speak a word of Span
ish. Here they were ~dissuaded from
going and went to California instead.
Before launching out with a family
into a foreign land one would think it
the part of wisdom to send someone
ahead to view the country and report.

A BRAIN

Il I'm a literary man whose nervous
energy is a great part Of my stock in

extravagant claims made of them.
But I cannot withhold my acknowledge
ment OF the debt that | owe to Grape
Nuts food.
Il discovered long ago that the very
bulkiness of the ordinary diet was not
calculated to give n a clear head, the
power of sustained, accurate thinking.

mind as we'll as body after eating the
ordinary meal, which diverted the
blood from the brain to the digestive
apparatus.

found them usually deficient in nutri-
ment. I experimental with many
breakfast foods and they, too, proved
unsatisfactory, till l reached Grape
Nuts. And then the problem was
solved.
"Grape.Nuts agreed with m per.
fectly from the beginning, satisfying
my hunger and supplying the nutri-
ment that so many other prepared
foods lack.

Learn About Fertilizers.

Every farmer that has 10 use
commercial fertilizers should make
a study of them. There Is moth
ing more essential in his farm
work. He should understand what
are the elements of plant food
and why he needs to buy certain fer
t~ilizers and not certain others. This
caution is needed badly, as among the
m%ultitudes of retail vendors of fertil.
izers are many that are selling farm,
ers fertilizers that are of no value to
them, though those same fertilizers
would be of value on other farms. The
retailer simply wants the profit on his
sale. This Is not true of all, but is
true CT some. The farmer must him.

this respect,

Poultry as a Side Issue.


The man that goes into the breed
ir~ of birds as a side issue to make
money out of it is usually ~disappoint-
ed. He generally has but a few min,
utes a day that he thinks can be de-
voted to the fowls. He also figures
out that a hundred or more hens
should make him a good profit during
the year-not less anyway than 500.
But his mistake has come in figuring
that the few minutes a day will suffice
to do all the work that must be done
in connection with poultry. In a few
months he is very tired Of his side is
sue; for the reason that he is trying
to do too much in too little time. II
n man has but a few minutes a day to
give to poultry he should keep but a
few fowls-not more than twenty-five.
He will then get both profit and pleas
ure out Of them. In the other case
they become a burden and also gener-
ally become Improbable.

Sell the Surplus.

The surplus stock should be sold
out of the poultry yards as rap
idly as possible. At this time of year
there is not likely to be an increase
of price for several months. We are
approaching a season when the mar
kets will be full of poultry and prices
will have a tendency to sag. After
the holidays prices are likely to be still
lowe. than at the present time. After
a bird is ready for market there is no
profit in keeping it longer unless an
advanced price can be obtained. The
grain that Is used in putting on growth
is almost always at a loss and is used
only 10 finish" the birds and make
them salable. The real profit has come
in growing the birds on cheap feed.
Get rid of the surplus as soon as pos
sible.

Tive Colts Food.

Fattening foods are largely lost
when given to the colt. The colt will
get about all the carbohydrates he
can use in any well.balanced ration.
What he needs is a ration that will
give him the material for muscle and
strong bone. That will permit him
to develop a magnificent frame, and
in years to come it may be found ad-
visable TO give him a food richer in
fa%t-making properties. Among the
best foods for colts are oats, which
have in them a good balance of the
things the colts need and which will
give them a surprising amount of
energy. Mixed hay consisting Of clio.
YER and timothy is better than a hay
composed altogether of timothy.
