Apples. plums and cherries may be
grown by grating. while peaches.
pears and cherries are more frequent
iy budded. Either operation requires
that good scions be obtained from
healthy trees OF the desired variety.
This is where the farmer may make
use of the good varieties OF the neigh
borhood.
In early winter. before frost has In.

spring grating. Take those from the
most vigorous trees. particularly from
the ends OF the main branches. where
the buds are well developed. These
may be bound into bundles and kept
in the cellar until used. Buds are cut
as they are needed.
Grating Is IA simple operation which
may b. learned with a little practice
and may be done In the winter when
other work is not crowdlng. The
most successful graft for nursery prac.
ticc IS the tongue graft

Budding is done in the summer
when the scions are in most vigor-

Curious Accident to Water Pipe Dur
ing Thunderstorm.

As a matter OF interest ana instruc-
tive value to your many readers, ] am
reporting an unusual and significant
incident that occurred at the branch
iofice OF the Scientific American at
washington. d. c.. during thunder
storm on the 11th day OF July. 1906,
writes a correspondent OF that jour
nal.
During the progress OF the storm.
lightning struck the electric wires
that supply the office with light and
power. The fuses of the various lights
and fans were instantly burned out.
and simultaneously herewith n tor.
rent OF water poured from the floor
OF the building where the wires en-
tered. evidently flowing from the
water pipe supplying the various
radiators of the water.heating system
which. as is usual. had not been cut
on for the summer months. since 1t
is not generally considered neces-
sary or even desirable to do so.
Careful inspection disclosed the
fact that the electric wiring was close
enough to the water circulation pipe
to permit electricity OF high voltage
to jump to the fine ground connection
which the water pipe afforded. and
in doing SO II burned hole fully

some. In them the fruit Is permitted
to roll from the bottom. While these
might answer with oranges, says the
Rural New Yorker. they should not
be used with first-class apples, as the
pouring into the bag will surely bruise
them. As Prof. Judson says, the aver.
age picker cannot withstand tho
temptation to stand up and let them
shoot out OF the bag when the fore.
mans back is turned. The best nick.

without dropping. Both hands are free
TO pick. and the bag will hold all that

stands on his head. This seems to be
tho best way to avoid bruistng in pick.

teaches is. first, the value of adequate

A FARMERS NuRsERY.
Il 10 Easily Managed and should BE
Feature Of Every Farm.

A small home nursery is easily man
aged and In many cases highly profit
able. Where old orchards OF good
standard varieties exist. II Is com
paratively simple matter to grow
young trees. BY planning little
ahead. the farmer may grow his own
fruit trees and plant considerable
orchard at slight expense.
Seeds OF good quality must be pre-
served to grow stocks for budding or
grating This is done by cleaning
and washing them when they are re-
moved from the fruit and allowed to
dry In the sun. They may be kept
over winter In box OF moist sand.
or pile of leaves left out of doors.
1t Is best to allow them TO freeze,
which will crack the shells sufficient
ly for sprouting. The seeds are sown
In rows three feet wide, and three to
six inches apart in the row. Stocks
usually attain sufficient size to bud or
graft with one years growth.
