The cut should only extend through

in removing the bud. Knives are spe-

finally the piece of leaf stalk which
was left when it was removed from the

BUDDING PEACHES.
w. T. Macon, Horticulturist Of Can
ada, Tells How Work Is 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, IL 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 20 height
of five or six inches to enable the bud
der to work more freely. A perpen.

DEVELOPING NEW PLuMs.
Experiment Stations Doing Much to
Produce Fine Fruit.

We are likely in the near future TO
have some very good new plums for
general growing. Some of our stations
are making good progress along the
line of crossing the native American
varieties with plums from Europe and
Asia.
Among the stations that are doing
excellent work in this direction is the
South Dakota station. Prof. n. Il.
Hansen is the leading spirit in this
work and he is obtaining valuable re-
suits. Prof Hansen has travelled
extensively in Europe and Asia and
has had a large opportunity to observe
plum production on three grand di
visions of the worlds surface.
One of the great requisites for an
American plum is hardness, and this
female parent the native sand cherry
which produces fruit the size Of a
large cranberry. This has been
crossed with the Chinese apricot and
plum produced which is called the
| Tokeya. Tokeya is not a Japanese
name, as might be inferred, but a
Sioux Indian word meaning first.
This new plum is 1H inches in diam.
eter. In color It is dark red, and the
flavor Of 1t is good.
Prof. Hansen has also crossed the
native plum (prunus Americana) on
the Chinese apricot plum. The prod
uct is plum that the professor has
named Hansaka which is Sioux Indian
for tall, because the tree grows very
tall and large. The trees grow TO a
height of IL feet in three years,
and even two-year-old trees are too
large to ship well. The future growth
of these trees is awaited with inter
est.
The same experimenter has also
crossed the western sand cherry with
the Sultan, Japanese plum. The
western sand cherry was favorite
Of the Sioux Indians, and It Is not to
be wondered at that Prof. Hansen has
had this in mind in naming the new
plums he is producing. The product
of the above crossing he has named
the Sapa, which is Sioux Indian foi
black.
Skuya is Sioux Indian for sweet
and this is the name Prof. Hansen has
given a new variety that has resulted
from crossing a native plum with 9
Japanese variety.
There is therefore being developed
for the northwest, says the Farmers
Review, group of plums adapted to
this locality. West of Lake Michigan
and northwest to the British line is {
stretch OF territory that does mo-
serve well to produce the Japanese
plums or the plums from Europe, ant

Like armies tenting In the fields
The rustling harvest, full and ripe,
That rivals even Ceres yields.
The haze Of Autumn blends with red
That clings upon the trailing grape;
The oak has put its color on
And wears its glory as a cape.
The grasses nod along the road
And billow in the lusty gale,
While everywhere the seal of fall
Is spreading fancies through the vals-
The crow aloft in noisy flight
Is sailing like n ship at sea
A bold marauder of the sky
With blatant, raucous minstrelsy.
The crop is in and plenty smiles
Upon n husbandman made glad
The one who planted, titled and reaped
Has won the prizes Nature had.

To charm us with her glowing ways
And lead us gently through the sere
To chill and cold and winter days!
