what we call bark gratis. In this
method we have the scions on only
one side and then by splitting the
bark with sharp knife we put four
CRAFTS around the outer edge Of the
stock They must be tied and then
the waxing must be done as before
described. One of these gratis may
be all that is needed in giving the
tree good top, but put in the gratis
as here directed and | will tell you
what to do later.
IF the grating is done as here di-
rected nearly every scion will grow.
Let them grow without molestation
during the first summer But many
sprouts viii grow out from the stock
near where the gratis are inserted
and along the stub for foot or
more.
Sprouts Are Called Robbers.
These sprouts are called robbers,
for very good reasOn-they rob the
scions that have been inserted by
using up the elaborated sap and thus
hinder the growth of the scions and
also the healing process. This pro-
cess is done by the use of what is
called haste, which is prepared in the
leaves and carried there by the down.
ward and outward flow of the elab-
GRATED sap. Any oneby careful OBJ
servation will see that at the juno
ton of the scion and the stock the
healed over limb is larger in Jew
years than any other part of the limb
THE haste thus gathered about the
wound is longer in it's fibres than any
where else in the limb, hence the
limb is larger and stronger at the
point of union than anywhere else
Hence, the limbs of a top-grafted
tree will usually break anywhere
else easier than at the point of union
after the healing process is completed
Tree Is Not Weakened.
"A tree is not like mans leg,
which is weaker where it is broken
after the healing process is complet-
ed, but a tree may have a limb en-
tirely cut off and a new top started
and be stronger at the point of union
than anywhere else.
In the case of cleft-grafting if all
the scions grow, the top will be too
thick. So next spring, or at the long
est, the second spring after the graft
ing is done, the extra CRAFTS must be
cut out. But do not cut too close to
the original wound, but just above
the enlarged part Which of the
CRAFTS to cut out, if both grow. can
only be determined by the shape of
the tree after this thinning is done
In the case of bark CRAFTS usually we
cut off all but one The robbers must
be kept off for period of four or
five years when they will cease to
make their appearance. Any fruit
grower who expects to make a sue
cess of his work must be a CRATER

assistance of experts from the univer-
sity of Wyoming. which is located at
Lara mic, and it means revolution in
the sheep business in the west if it
fulfills the expectations of the govern

the typical range sheep has been pro-

greatest amount of wool and the great
est amount of mutton and that will
not have to be built up by con-
slant and expensive mportations-all
the sheep states in the west will be
benefited. Sheepmen will improve their

instead of sending abroad.

Santa Claus Revenge.

Belated comes advice tonight
That, without proper cause.
Two foolish boys went on a strike
Against old Santa Claus.
They sent him written word that he
Must take two trips year,
The first an early one to see
They said his work Of late was bad.
They criticised his taste.
They said 1t made them very sad
Those presents gone to waste!
They asked him why he thought boy
Would want Teddy bear.
They said It seemed he could employ
Much better judgment there.
They wrote him frankly what they
thought.
A protest in each line.
They told him that they thought no ought
To sell out and resign.
They covered reams Of paper then
To tell him what to do
The how, the which. the what. the when,
They carefully went through
And then they told him what to bring
For each boy in their town,
And for themselves-"Oh. everything!'
Was just what they put down.
They thought the saint was far too old
To understand their scheme.
And each one bought a bag to hold
Their presents. it would seem.
But when they woke on Xmas morn
With what did Santa bring?"
Why, Just as sure as you are born.
He hadn't left thing!
