unnecessarily Sentinel
In view Of the fact that the pro-
prietor Of the Sentinel was a MEM
Der Of the legislature which granted
the rebate in aid OF the building OF the
Somerset railroad extension without a
dissenting voice this criticism OF the
Sentinel comes with an exceedingly
poor grace at this late day On
September ). 1906, when MI. Davis vas
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor OF Maine. the journal asked him
70 answer, categorically, the following
questions:
/. Were you in your seat in-the
House Of Representatives when the bill
in favor of the Somerset extension re-
ccivcd it's unanimous passage?
?. Did you have any conversation
with the promoters Of this measure or
their attorneys prior to its passage?
9. Were you present at any part
Of the hearing on this question before
tho railroad committee?
!. Did you at any time interpose
any objection t. it prior to the present
campaign?
Mr Davis was, 1t the time the fore
going questions were asked him, a
candidate for the highest office in the
gift Of the people OF Maine. The
questions asked him referred solely to
his record as servant Of the Stale,
while in til" pay of the State.
We touched Il matter of legislation
which he and his party We're criticising
tor campaign purposes. The voters Of
Maine had a right to know from the
lips OF Mir Davis or over his own
signature. precisely what his record
was on the matter, and what part he
personally bore with reference 70 il.

When the trees Is planted the top
is cut back at height of not more
than twenty inches from the ground
to form low head and four or five
limbs are allowed to grow the first
year The following spring. three of
the best of these limbs are chosen
as the ones on which to graft the
variety selected. There are several
methods of top-working but the
tongue graft is the most popular.
This is made by cutting the stock
at an angle of firty-five degrees.
making slit lengthwise of the limb
The scion is treated in the same man
ner and the tongue of each of the
parts is then slipped into the slit in
the other and a successful graft is
assured If proper precaution are OBJ
served in the waxing. The wedge
graft is employed for the larger
limbs. This is performed by cutting
the limb square off at the end and
then making it smooth with the
knife. A cut slit is next made
through the bark into the wood, par
allel with the limb and following its
circular shape. The scion is next cut
to a point in wedge shape and is In
serted into the cut in the limb In
such manner that the thick part of
the wedge is outermost. This system
has often been illustrated in the Field
and Farm. The place where the graft
is made is waxed.-Denver Field and
