Cheese Dreams.

Cut thin slices of bread and butter
both sides. Spread on lightly a little
French mustard on one side of each
slice, then put two slices of bread to-
gether with layer of cheese between,
coming next to the mustard. Put In
oven and let remain until the cheese
has thoroughly melted and the bread
is crisp. This will be found a very
dainty and appetizing luncheon dish to
serve with an entree. If desired cut
the bread in heart.shaped pieces,

BUDDING PEACHES.
w. T. Macon, HortIcuIturist Of Can
ada, Tells How Work 10 Done.

Budding of peach trees is best per-
formed when there is still sufficient
sap beneath the bark to permit the
latter being easily raised with knife
On the other hand, If the work is done
when the tree is still growing vigor-
ously the bud is liable to be drowned
out" or. in other words, forced out by
reason of too much sap and growth
of the stock. The stock which is to
receive the bud should be at least
three-eighths of an inch In diameter
near the ground. Peaches are usually
budded on stocks which have grown
from the stone the same year The
lower leaves are rubbed off to height
of five Or six inches to enable the bud
der to work more freely. A perpen
dicular cut is now made in the stock

as near the ground as possible from
an inch to an inch half long, and
preferably on the north side of the
tree. as the bud will not be so readily
dried out by the sun on that side
The cut should only extend through
the bark. Another cut should now
be made across the top of the per-
pendicular one. The two cuts when
made will appear in the form of let

oped shoots of the current seasons
growth of the variety it is desired to
propagate. The best developed buds
are chosen which will be found about
the middle of the shoot or stick" Be-
fore the buds are removed the leaves
should be cut off the shoots; a piece
Of the petole Or leaf stem is left,
however. by which the bud may be
handled after it is removed. A very
sharp, thin bladed knife is necessary
in removing the bud Knives are spe-
cially made for this purpose. The bud
is cut off the shoot downwards or up
wards, whichever is more convenient,
the general practice, however, is to
cut upwards. The length of the piece
removed with the bud should be about
one inch long. and the cut surface
smooth 1t should be quite thin, as
but little of the wood is taken with
the bud. The buds or twigs should
be kept where they will not dry out
while the work of budding is going on,
preferably in water or piece of wet
sacking. The bud is inserted under the
bark by raising the latter with the
blade of the knife or the part OF the
budding knife made for that purpose.
The bud is then pushed down and
under the bark with the fingers, and
finally the piece Of leaf stalk which
was left when it was removed from the
twig is pressed with the blade of the
knife to bring the bud into proper po-
sition. The bark on each side of the
bud, which should now be under the
bark of the stock, will hold 1t in DO
ston. In order to bring the bud and
stock into close contact and prevent
the former from drying up before the
union takes place, they should be tied
tightly together with raffia or some
soft string, taking care not to cover
the bud with it. The bud should unite
with the stock in two or three weeks,
and after that time the string should
be cut, as otherwise the bud may be
Injured. If the proper season has been
chosen for the work the bud should re-
main dormant until the spring. II 1t
starts In the autumn it may be killed
during the winter. In the following
spring the stock should be cut OFF Just
above the bud. which will cause all
the strength of the stock to be directed
into the bud and produce rapid growth
three feet not being an exceptional
growth for the first season. The
above directions apply to other tree
fruits, such as apple, pear, plum and
cherry, except that the stocks for them
are usually two years old.

BRITISH TENNIS STARS
COMING TO AMERICA,

LONDON, Aug. 12.-The British
Lawn Tennis Association has agreed to
the suggestion from New York that the
preliminary round for the Davis cup be
played in America. AS a result, M. J.
Richie and j. C. Harte will leave for
that country the latter part of the
month, going direct to New York, from
where they will go to Boston, the
match being scheduled for the Long
wood Cricket Clubs courts about the
middle of September. Five matches
will be played, four singles n one
double.
The team winning the match at Bos-
ton will then go to Australia, where
the challenge rounds for the Davis cup
will be played, beginning November 26.
This cup is emblematic of the interna-
tional championship of the tennis
world. Reports from America state
that the American team will not be
named for some unexpectedly not
until the championships are played at
