Grain that Is intended for seed
should be stored carefully in order that
1t may go through the winter uninjur-
| ed. The chief enemies Of stored seed
are moisture, insects and rats and mice.
The seed should be dry when stored
and kept where moisture cannot gain
access to it. Dry seed will stand al
most any amount Of freezing without
injury.
There are a number Of insects that
damage seed grain by burrowing into
the germ If the seed room Is tight,
they may be killed by fumigating with
carbon disulphide used at the rate of
pound to each thousand cubic feet of
space. Place this in an open dish on
top Of the seed, close the room as
tightly as possible, and In few hours
the insects will be exterminated. Care
should be taken not to go near the
room with a light, as the gas is ex-
plosive. This same treatment Is also
fatal to rats and mice, unless they
have some way of escaping from the
room. If possible the seed room should
be so we'll built that these pests can
not get into it.
The second method Of plant propa-
CATION is by division-that is, by plant
ing parts Of the plant itself. Potatoes
are propagated in this way almost en-
tirely. If small willow and poplar
branches are stuck into the ground,
they will grow into trees. Apple and
other fruit trees are propagated either
by grating or budding. Apple trees
may be raised from seed, but the
fruit of seedlings trees is usually
worthless. BY taking a part of the
tree and growing another from it, 1t
will, of course, bear the same kind of
fruit
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-02-26

Grating consists Of joining pieces
Of small branches or scions Of the tree
which is to be propagated to pieces Of
roots or stocks. The roots Of yearling
seedlings are used for stocks. The
scions, which should be about the size
of a lead pencil, should be cut in the
fall and packed in sand. The grating
can be done at any time during the
winter All that is necessary Is to cut
the lower end of the scion and the up
per end of the stock at an angle, as
shown in Fig 13. These are then
carefully fitted together and tied with
little common string. The essential
point Is to be sure to have the cam
blum layer of the scion join that Of
the stock. This cambium layer is the
thin, light brown portion between the
bark and the wood. 1t is the point
where growth takes place.
The completed graft, which should
be eight to ten inches long, is again
packed in sand. In the spring the
CRAFTS are planted in a row in the
garden and left until they are two
or three years old, when they may be
transplanted to their permanent place
in the orchard.

In order to continue to raise crops
from year to year we must propagate
the plants in some way. There are
two principal ways of doing this-by
seeds and by divisions Of the plant
itself. The most important of these Is
by seeds, as 1t is in this way that most
of the ordinary farm crops are multi
piled.
In order to understand this process
we must first learn how the seeds are
formed. The tassel of the corn Is the
male flower and the silk the female.
Some plants, such as certain varieties
of strawberries, have only female
flowers and must be planted in alter
nate rows with varieties which have
both kinds of blossoms. In other
plants the male and female flowers
are combined in one. This is the case
with the apple and many other fruits.
In the apple the stamen, or male
parts, grow in a ring around the pistil'
or female part, which is in the center
Of the flower. The top Of a stamen'
which is expanded, is called the an
ther. This contains a yellow dust, the
pollen.

How TO GET A JoB.-Walter .Warc
Biller tells the following story about
hardware store in st. Louis, which ad-
vertised for an errand boy. AS 1t hap
pened, the boss was talking to Gus
toner when boy came in. Thinking
he wanted to buy something, he ex-
cused himself, and going over to the
boy, asked him what he could do fol
him. The boy told him that he came
in answer to his advertisement and
asked for the job.
Well, of course, the boss got mad by
being disturbed while he was talking
to a customer. He said to the boy
You go outside and walk block. II
call you back, why, 1 will hire you, il
I don't, why, you just keep right on
walking"
The boy did as he was told, but, 60
ing out, he picked up a shovel that
was standing near the door, put it on
his back, and started down the
street.
Before he had gone ten feet, the old
man was after him, yelling. Come
back! Come back"
The boy came back, took off his coat
and asked where he wanted him tC
work-downstairs or upstairs, or where

Survival of a Curious Old Ceremony
Called "Feoffment."

Our remote ancestors did not sell
land as it is sold nowadays, the seller
merely giving to the buyer an ac-
knowledged deed of the premises. Ac-
cording to their customs, no land til
tie could pass except by "transmuta-
ton of possession" and this they ac-
complished by a solemn ceremony,
called by an old term 'feoffment."
The seller and the buyer went on
the land together in the presence Of
witnesses, usually most of the village
folks. The seller took a tuft of grass
or a clod of earth and handed 1t to
the buyer, declaring with a loud voice
his intention to transfer to him the
possession of the land in question.
Centuries have elapsed since the
English race has sold land in this
way, and it has been supposed that
the practice had become extinct. A
few years ago, however, a New Eng
land lawyer, returned from Bolivia,
gave the following account of land
sale within 100 miles of La Paz, the
Bolivian capital.
The American had climbed the An
des to a height of 1,400 feet, accom-
panied by a native Bolivian who had
agreed to sell some mining property.
The subprefect Of the province had
a notary with him. The Indians liv-
ing on the route were called out as
the party passed along, until finally
the complete company numbered
about 800.
When the party reached its desti-
nation the prefect called the assem-
bly, to order, declared what was to be
done, and the notary wrote it down.
The seller then tore up dirt and grass
with his hands and handed it to the
buyer who at once began to run
wildly about the land, turn somer-
saults and cut up all manner of funny
capers.
This, the notary told the party, was
to convince the native Indians that
the purchaser had actually taken
charge of the land, and he further
stated that the Indians and their de-
scendants would defend the newcom-
er's title against any and all intrud-
ers until he or his heirs should see fit
to transfer the possession Of the land
to still others in similar manner

KNEW WHAT TC Do.-An italian
with his wife and two little children
got into the subway train bound up
town, says the New York Sun. There
were seats enough, so the wife and one
child in her arms sat down. The man,
carrying the other infant, prepared to
take a seat.
The moment he sat down the little
girl in his arms set up a cry. She
would not stop until the man got up

HORTICULTURE AT THE CAPITAL
Secretary Wilson of the department OF

in Washington to the amateur florists
who spring up in the suburbs at this
season by the thousands.
More florists, perhaps. than flow

In a seed shop the other day
heard one of these amateurs complain
about the last batch of seed he had
bought. After he had ended his COM
plants he began to ask floral Ques-
tions.

Obeyed Instructions.

A milkman who lives in town OF
New England and collects milk from
the neighboring farmers, had in his
employ a boy whom he sent about
with his wagon every morning picking
UP his supply. There was rather
dangerous railroad crossing on the
road. and when the boy began work
for him the milkman said: when
there's a train coming, just stop and
sit still in your wagon until 1t gets
by"
The boy went about his task, but in
stead Of collecting the milk in about an
hour and a half, as should have been
done, he took at least two hours, and
sometimes more. e.
The milkman grumbled little, but
the boy said nothing, and, as he SEEM
ed honest, nothing was done.
One evening the miIkman went out
over his route to see some Of his GUS
toners, says Harper's Weekly. "What
ails that boy Of yours?" asked one OF
the farmers.
why, nothing, only that he's rather
slow" was the reply.
SLOW? Well, guess you'd think ne
was slow If you saw him resting tor
half an hour in his wagon down there
by the railroad track every morning.
rs 1t true that you stop half an hour
every morning down by the railroad
track?" the boy was asked.
"Yes, sir; I have to-" said the boy.
Have to? What do you meanF
well. sir, you told me to stop when
there was a train coming, to walt I'LL

With mingled sensations of pride and
responsibility Mr.. Warner replied en-

THE ONLY WAY.
Many YorkviIIe Citizens Have Dscov-
cred Il.

cred II.
Just what to do when the kidneys
are affected, is a question that concerns
both young and old. Weak kidneys
neglected in childhood lead to lifelong
suffering. People Of advanced years
with less vitality, suffer doubly. In
youth or age, languor, backache, urin-
airy irregularity, dizziness and nerv-
BUSINESS make life burden.
There Is one remedy that acts di-
rectly on the kidneys and cures these
troubles. Doan's Kidney Pills owe
their worldwide fame to the fact that
they cure sick kidneys and cure them
permanently. Follow the example Of
this Yorkville citizen and you will be
convinced that this Is so.
James Higgins, formerly of w. Main
ST, Yorkville, S. c., says: For several
years I was subject to spells of nerv-
BUSINESS and l was also bothered by
dull ache across the small OF my back.
My kidneys were weak and the secre-
tions were unnatural. At times 1 was
in such a bad condition that 1 could
hardly get about. Finally l procured
Doan's Kidney Pills and the use Of
two or three boxes cured me. I now
feel much stronger and better in every
way"
