Top grating is used to convert
large trees bearing worthless fruit
into desirable trees, says Farmers
voice. The process is simple, but,
like root grating, requires expert
ence for complete success. To top
graft tree saw off limbs where
they are one inch or little more in
diameter. Carefully split the stock
with strong knife by driving It
with a mallet. Then drive a wedge
in the center to keep the cleft open

which have been previously prepared,
are inserted (A), the wedge is then
removed and the wound and ends of
the scions covered with grating wax

Scions used in top grating OBJ
are about two inches long, having one
or more buds and made wedge shaped
at the lower end. In inserting the
scion care must be taken that its
cambium layer comedies with that OF
the stock or no growth will result.
Several limbs should be left ungraft-
ed the first year to insure a healthy
growth Of the tree. They may be
grated the next year. In three years
all the old fruit bearing wood may be
removed, leaving only that OF the de-
sired variety, and IL care is taken

of grating is often resorted to to
improve the shape of the trees. It
is done in early spring before the
buds start.

Divorce as . Means of Grace.
That German philosopher who con-
cludes his estimate of American wo-
men with the observation that they
are purer than Europe's women be-
cause of our greater freedom of d.
vorce utters an assertion that will
dopbtless shock many minds Divorce
is regarded by American sentiment
as an evil. which it undoubtedly in
most aspects is. What does Dr. Fulda
mean BY accounting divorce a moral
agent? What he means is that in
European countries a false value is
put upon enforced and arbitrary con.
tinuation of the marriage state when
the marriage vow has been broken.
When couples are kept together as
the Marlboroughs are now, for social
or political reasons. when all true
marriage relations have been cut Off
and the home is ruined, that does
not protect the sanctity of the home
as American anti-divorce sentiment
seeks to protect 1t. The reason why
divorced persons are under a ban in
the United States is not so much be-
cause they are divorced as 1t is be-
cause Of the previous misbehavior of
which the divorce is merely the result
and the sign. When the Catholic
church works against divorce 1t earn
estly tries to reconcile the husband
and wife, to induce the man to stop
drinking or the woman to be a true
woman. and to save the home. There
In little IL any moral quality in COM
pelling an outraged wife to continue
TO live with libertine because IL she
asserts her rights it will scandalize
the nobility. A divorce is often the
only way in which a rich profligate
can be made to reap the due harvest
or his sins or loose woman can be
stigmatized in society as she de-
serves, remarks the indianapolis Star.
What DIR. Fulda was thinking of was
the loose morals of European circles
where husband or wife, or both, fore
going divorce after infldelity, con-
time to condone or even counte-
nance notorious irregular connection
ON the part of the other. This does
not make for purity in man or woman.
1t is worse than a divorce system
would be where divorce was granted
on scTiptHral grounds alone.

PRUNINe-ToP-cRAFTINe.
How Poor Grade Of Fruit Trees Can
Be Greatly Improved.

Upon the style Of pruning in the
nursery row depends largely the fu.
ture shape OF the tree. The present
tendency is to head apples low and
to open up the center of the trees as
much as possible. Low heading
brings the fruit nearer the ground,
making 1t much more convenient to
spray and harvest, while the open cen.
ter admits sunlight, which gives
color to the fruit and assists in con
trolling diseases. To prune for this
shape, start the head about two feet
from the ground, allowing four or five
branches to grow, and prune so as to
throw them away from, the center
rather than toward 1t, by cutting out
most of the shoots which lead toward
the center. The main feature of
nursery pruning is to select the right

MuLcHlNo THE ORCHARD.
A Task Which VIII Reap the Reward
In More Fruit.

Trees need food in order to do their
best, for tree is simply a big plant
and SO needs more food than thousands
of little plants. A tree that will pro-
duce 40 bushels of apples during
good apple year, and say an average
of rs bushels every year. is certainly
taking more from the soil than 1t can
return. Yet SO many farmers persist
not only in giving such a tree no food
but in cutting and hauling away all
the material that grows near it. No
wonder the tree ceases to yield re-
munerative crops.
Let him give such trees a mulch of
stable manure during the winter
months. Scatter 1t thickly and in a
circle reaching somewhat beyond the
limbs. If the orchard is to be culti-
waited, Orange Judd Farmer suggests
that 1t be plowed under the next
spring, If not, let it lie as a mulch.
At any rate, do not attempt to grow
another crop in large orchard unless
1t Is to be left on the ground. A few
years fertilizing. with pruning and
spraying, will render the old orchards
the most remunerative lot on the farm.
II the orchard is young and the ground
rich the mulch would better be of
straw or coarse manure, and applied
more for protection and to hold moist.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL,
TEAM WON LAST NIGHT
The Second Team Of the City Squad Was Defeated BY
Score Of Y to lo.-.The Kids Played Fast.
Aggressive Came

The game of basketball which
was to have been played Friday
evening at the Grand Opera House
Skating Rink between the Big Be-
midg'' five and the Park Rapids
team was declared off, because of
the inability of the Rapids play
ers to reach this city.
A large crowd assembled at the
rink, prepared to root for the home
team. but the spectators were con-
siderably disappointed when it was
finally announced that the visiting
players were unable to fill their date.
The train on which the Park Rap
ids team was coming to Bemidji
was held up at Walker until after 12
O'Clock last night, by reason of the
wreck of a freight train, q mile north
of Walker, at the junction of the M.
& |. and Great Northern railways.
The G. N. company stated at first
that the train would arrive here at
10 O'Clock, and it was hoped that
the basketball game could be
played after that hour, but when 10
o'clock arrived the railway people
admitted that they did not know
when the train would arrive, so that
it was necessary to declare the game
off.
In order to not utterly disappoint
the spectators, game was arranged
to be played between the second
city team and the high school FIVE:
This game was highly exciting,
and was won by the high school
boys, after hard struggle, by a
score of IL to II.
The two teams lined up as fol-
lows.
