Apple SEEDLINGS.

We are asked the question II the
Seeding used In grating apple exerts.
any influence on the tree as to hardi-
hess and If so what are the best to
use. The apple Seeding is the foundation
for the tree, as the scion depends on
this at least the first two years for
establishing itself and. forming the nu-
cleus of the future tree. In the past
there has not been given the attention
as there should have been to hardness
and adaptability of the stocks of our
different fruit trees, and it has just
commenced to be agitated by horticul-
trrists the last few years. 1t has been
the custom of many nurseries to Inn
port from France seedlings Of French
crab and domestic apples for grating
on. Many of these are known to bp ten
der and hence many of the losses from
trees dying out could be traced If we
knew directly to the stocks on which
the tree had been grated. If we were
to save seed from such varieties as
Duchess of Oldenburg, wealthy. north
western greening etc., we would soon
see marked difference In the hardi-
Eess of our trees. Some of our pains
taking nurserymen are very careful on
this account and buy their apple seeds
in Vermont or northern New York,
where it is washed out of the pumice of
the cider mills in sections where they
have had for years large Seeding or
chards. While the fruit was inferior,
yet the trees were hardy, and this Is
the only requirement in a stock, as the
quality of the tree will always be in
fluenced by the scion.-Twentieth Cen

Pruning the Plum Trees.


It has been frequently noticed that
old plum trees do not produce as good
quality fruit as rule as the younger
trees and sometimes become very in
ferior and unproductive. In many cases
the old trees would be benefited by Sc
we're cutting back, and besides that, 1t
would be well to keep the plum tree in
better training than has been the usu-
al practice in the west; cutting back
the long and spreading branches, and
compelling them to head in short and
close to the trunk. This might not be
good practice for all varieties, and it
would be we'll to undertake it with
some care, selecting some few individu-
ais and noting the effect of such prun-
ing upon them.-Rural World

When the spring opens there Is a

slots. These slots are wider at one
end than at the other. By placing a
rope through one Of the slots and pull
ing on the same the rope is sure to
become wedged in the slot tighter and
tighter. The halter tie is nailed at the
head of the stall in advance of the
horse, so that the latter In pulling on
the rope will force it more tightly into
the Slot. Only a few seconds are re-
quired to slip the rope into the slot
and over a small hook at the inner end.
While in this position there is no dan
ger of the horse working the halter
loose and roaming in the stable.
Cultivating Young Trees.
The soil will dry very rapidly and to
great depth if allowed to get hard
and compact. There is but a small
space left for air in solid soils, and
from this fact they become hot and dry
to great depth In summer, while II
air is present, as it is in loose soils (be-
ing such poor conductor of heat), it
will allow only small portion of soil
to become hot, which soon cools at
night and is filed with copious dew,
not only retaining the moisture al
ready In the soil, but also adding to it
at season when moisture is especially
desirable. Newly set trees are always
benefited by cultivation, because all
their roots are surface roots and can
not thrive In hot, dry. compact soil,
hence the necessity of summer surface
cultivation Of newly set trees.

remembered for her clever bit as the

Miss Carroll has undisputable ability.
what is more, she has a very pleasing
Etage presence and a remarkably beauti-
full voice. She has all the requisites for
dainty. sweet ingenue. and one day, when
she las a good opportunity. she will SIR
prise everyone. AS Olivia, In "A Modern
Mascalen," she handles very difficult
role with rare intelligence and discretion.
olivia might easily be made a whining
little cat, but Miss Carroll makes her
what the author intended, a pure-minded
innocent girl, dependent upon her dicta-
torial mother and sanctimonious lover for
her very thoughts. yet with an impulse
that makes her want to keep on loving
her supposedly wayward sister.
