Waen this cutting graft is planted the
free lower end of the scion is able to
absorb moisture from the soil and
often to emit roots. of its own, at the
same time being nourished by its
vital connection with the stock. The
cut illustrates Japanese graft made
by Mr.. Normand of an oriental wal
nut, but, says Rural New Yorker, the
method may be applied to other spe-
cies. and is naturally most useful with
varieties that root as cuttings with
difficulty when planted in the ordinary
way.
This cutting-graft or Japan method
is in particular favor in Australia for
the purpose of getting apple varieties
locally suitable or Northern Spy or
other stocks resistant to Woolly
aphis or American blight" as it is
there called. Long scions of North
ern Spy are grated in the manner
shown on ordinary apple Seeding
stocks and carefully planted, taking
especial pains to firm the soil alb out
the lower end of the scion, which gen.
orally throws out roots of its own
after 1t has grown a year or two. The
top is then budded or grated to the
desired variety, and when transplant
ed from the nursery row the original
stock is entirely cut away. leaving the
tree wholly on Northern Spy or other
resistant roots.

THE POTATO QUESTION.
Good Ground. Good Seed and Good cui.
tivation Are Essential.

From my experience in the raising
of potatoes 1t seems to me there are
three things to be especially consfd-
cred; these are. good ground, good
seed potatoes and good care of the
land, writes an Iowa correspondent OF
the Northwestern Agriculturist.
First we will consider the ground.
Pillow early in the fall. or in August IL
possible. not shallow. but middling
deep. Oats land Is preferred for this
reason, and l have found 1t to produce
the mealiest potatoes. Wheat and corn
land will give the tubers which are
glossy and hard. but those raised on
oats land are of the incest quality for
home and market use. DISK shree
times in the spring SO the land will be
loose and plant Immediately after small
grain or in the first part OF May.
Planting later will give the bugs a
chance, but by putting the seed In
early the plant will be getting Tough
by the time the bugs begin their work.
and they do not care for tough leaves.
In late planting, also, the plant is young
and tender and the seed will nat be
as large nor healthy.
Selection of the seed: have come
to one conclusion, that is. use the best
seed to be bought. Plant none that Ia
small or unhealthy. Select your seed
potatoes as you do your corn. Use
only those that are round and smooth
and that have shallow eyes. About the
size of an egg is my favorite, or little
smaller will do. Cut the heads of just
enough to kill the sprouts SO closely
connected. as two or three eyes are
sufficient for good hill. Cut them
about three weeks before planting
them, SO the part that was cut can dry
up. If planted Immediately after be;
ing cut, the ground will draw one-third
of the substances from the potato and
1t will not have nourishment enough
to produce healthy tuber.
Taking care of the land as it should
be done: 1t must be kept clean. Drag
it twice after planting. 1t can stand
good dragging after the plants are up,
say couple of inches. But don't drag
In the morning when the dew is on tho
plants because they will break and
their growth will be retarded for al
least two weeks. Right after dinner
when they are good and dry is the best
time.

to the community which produced his
wealth and feel that we are done an
injustice by his failure to put his
money in home enterprises which
would increase the business and pros
perity of our city. The criticism il
justified and 1t holds Just as good in a
lesser degree to the man who trades
out of town. 1t is the same offense
on a smaller scale
The effect of the reverse policy is
promptly seen. The writer has in
mind a notable instance. Two cities
of about $4,000 population each are
situated on opposite sides of river
which is boundary between two
states. Each contains several million
aires who made their money in the
lumber trade In the two towns. The
millionaires of one of the cities are
putting their money into other indus
tries in the same town as the lumber
ing goes out. AS result. the town is
rapidly forging to the front; every one
exceeds the supply; property is valu-
able and every one is working. The
millionaires of the town across the
river are Investing their money IN
western and southern pine lands. The
town is languishing for lack of money;
new industries cannot start because of
lack of capital: merchants are fall
ing; stores and houses are being va
Gated; people are moving away and a
general air of poverty and decay per-
vades the place.
Few cities present such strong ex-
amples of the value of money spent at
home but the same principle holds
true in every community. 1t is due
every community to reinvest the
money 1t produces in the community
which produces 1t.
The chance of being swindled is an
argument used against trading with
the mail order houses. Goods adver.
tised at cut prices often fail to meas.
ure up to the description of the adver.
tisement. The few cents which is
saved on the price of an article SO
bought is usually sacrificed in the
quality of the article. Buying from the

time was the great retail house Of the

He made his quondam friend an
other offer, but; the latter was not
ready. The pay was not sufficient A
little while afterward the retail house
established a wholesale business. 1t
was a great success.
The young man who had borrowed
the half dollar was placed at the head
of the Wholesale concern. Once more
he offered his old benefactor an op
portunity, but the benefactor declined
again. and for the same reason.
THE business kept expanding. The
concern is to-day one of the biggest in
the middle west. When the $3.50 man
died the other day he was quoted at q
million and half. He had made It 4,
20 years.

When he drew his first weeks wages
he rendered the loan to his fellow
traveller. The latter declined. He
told the young man to wait until he
was better able.
The transaction remained open for

self. In the first place. some merchant
loses the profit on sale. Not only
that, but the price of the article rep
resents so much of the merchants cap
ital which is tied up in the article and
is not working. Having capital tied
up means that the operations of the
merchant are curtailed to that extent
He has that much less to spend: that
much less to pay in salaries to his
clerks; to pay in patronage of the
butcher, the baker and the other pur-
veyors of the necessities of life; to in

a factor which determines largely the
value of all goods or property on the
market; the scale of wages and the In

TRADING AT HOME
MANY REASONS WHY 1T is THE
BEST POLICY.
SELF-INTEREST A BIG FEATURE
That Which Benefits the Community
az a Whole Benefits Each indi-
viduai-The "Why and
Wherefore"

AS self-interest is the law which gov
ems the transactions of trade. 1t is the
first light In which the subject Of
Trading at Home" must be treated.
Sentiment has little influence in trade.
The prosperity of any community
depends on the volume of business
transacted within Its borders. The
facility with which business can be
transacted depends largely upon the
amount of money In circulation and
any influence which takes money out
OF community is detrimental to the
financial welfare of the community.
1t Is In this respect that trading with
mail order houses cripples a COM
munity. Money which should be kept
In local circulation goes to swell the
volume of money in the distant city
instead of remaining at home to be
turned over and over again as the me-
dunn of transfer among local mer-
chants and their customers.
The effect of this diversion of money
Is not confined to the merchants who
lose sales thereby: II extends eventu-
ally to every member of the COM
munity. 1t is curtailment of business
which affects the value of all property
even to the labor of the man who is
dependent on days work for his liv-
ing. 1t reacts upon the people who
purchase away from home In degree
which more than offsets any possible
saving in price that may be effected in
the purchase.
Every dollar sent out of any COM
munity for goods which can be pur-
chased at home represents a percent

THE TIME TO pRuNE.
1t is in the Early Spring or Late FaI.
That Work Should Be Done,

1t has become quite well understood
that late winter or early spring is the
proper time to give trees their gen.
eral pruning. However, the question
often arises and to explain the matter
this item is submitted.
II general pruning is done while
growth is taking place the tree loses
some opportunity to heal the wound
unless 1t be given at the time growth
is Just beginning. and at that time
there is much danger of the plant
bleeding seriously; If it should be
done in the fall there is considerable
Likelihood of the wound becoming SO
dried out before spring that a very
large wound results, but II the wound
be made few days or weeks before

the goods. but will often send his
money to a mail order house with
blind faith that the article will prove
to be as represented. How often this
faith is misplaced can be proven only
by comparing the goods bought from
mail order houses with the goods Of
fered for sale at home. If the mail
order buyer would follow this system
for little while, he would probably
find that the goods offered at home are
of better quality and as good bargains
as the mail order goods, taking quail
ity into consideration. If this pre-
sumption is true. the buyer Of mail or
der goods is distinct loser, as he has
secured inferior goods and has robbed
the community in which he lives, as
well as himself. of the use of the
money. F. r. SINGLETON.

New York.-George l.. Lammert, a
clerk employed by life insurance
company in New York, was rescued
from perllous position. half-starved.
almost dead from exposure. at mid
day on Broadway. in New York city.
With tens of thousands of persons
within hearing of his voice. and with
men working within ten feet Of where
he stood or sat. Lambert was so hours
as isolated as If he stood on some
ledge in the Himalayas. Nobody
heard him or paid any attention to
him. Thousands saw him and went
their way without taking second
look. His cries for help brought only
grins. And only by chance he final

or from fall on the pavement, hun

That such a thing could happen
seems impOssible-yet 1t did. Nor was
It the heartlessness of New Workers
