method Of selecting small grain is b.
means of the tanning mill. By run
ming through three or four times al
much seed as is needed all the small
grains may be sieved out and the Hgh
ones blown over, leaving only the heav
lest, strongest ones for planting.
Grain that is intended for seed SHOULD
be stored carefully in order that it may
go through the winter uninjured. The
chief enemies of stored seed are mois
ture, insects and rats and mice The
seed should be dry when stored and
kept where moisture cannot gain ac-
cess to it. Dry seed will stand almost
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 a
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 a 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 well 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 Seeding trees is usually worth
less. By taking a part of the tree and
growing another from it. It will, of
course, bear the same kind of fruit
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
are used for stocks. The
scions, which should be about the size
Of a lead pencil, should be cut in the
TALL and packed in sand. The grating
ian be done at any time during the
winter. All that is necessary Is to cut
he lower end Of the scion and the up
per end Of the stock at an angle, as
shown in Fig. Is. These are then
carefully fitted together and tied with |
/ little common string. The essential
Joint is to be sure to have the cam
blum layer Of the scion join that Of |
he stock This cambium layer is the
hin, light brown portion between the
ark and the wood. 1t is the point ]
where growth takes place.
The completed graft, which should
Ie eight to ten inches long, is again
acked in sand. In the spring the
RATS are planted in a row In the
arden and left until they are two
r three years old, when they may be
ransplanted to their permanent place

beasts. for. Willie they are not to be
digniiied by the term of game. they
run in packs and seem to know that
the native is afraid of them Native
burden bearers will often take their

when they hear the howl of the wild
dogs they drop whatever they may be
balancing on their heads and take to

held captive until their cries summon
assistance. Crossing the trail of large
game. these dogs often interfere with
the pursuit At a distance the hunter
is likely TO mistake them for leopards
or some of the smaller game. Intense
disgust follows the wounding of a wild
dog. for then. according to the ethics
of the chase. the true sportsman must
pursue and kill the beast. These dogs
are not degeuerates. but are natural
mongrels. They have low bodies GOV

Sea Fleas.

The deep sea naturalist when pre-

tiers and are possessed of voracious APP
petites So the naturalist. after remov.
ing the skin and loose flesh from the
specimen ties it in a coarse net and
lowers it into the sea until it hangs
just clear of the bottom. 1t is immedi-
ately discovered by the sea fieas, and
countless myriads of the little crea-
lures come swarming to the work of
denuding the bones. In a short time
the skeleton is clean and ready to be
packed or mounted. Care must be
taken to haul it up at just the right
moment, as if left too long to the sea
fleas they will attack and devour the
small bones as soon as they have fin

fulness on the part of the naturalist
will prevent this, however, and the
tiny scavengers of the deep will save
him lot of unpleasant work.-Chicago

MANY ACCIDENTS ON
DOWNTOWN STREETS

A series of runaway and other vehi-
Gle accidents aroused a little excite
ment on downtown streets yesterday.
First of all J. P Cooke, who had en-
gagged surrey, came out of runaway
little later without a scratch. The
surrey was iammed into a close space
in front of the old Gazette Office on
Merchant street by a wagon driven by
an Oriental. A trace broke and the
horses started to run. Just as Mr..
Cooke jumped from the rig, the latter
overturned and the horses parted COM
pany with it. The driver pluekily
held ON and was dragged almost to the
Associated Garage where Mr.. Marshall
the expressman, stopped them. The
| driver was pretty well bruised.
Mr.. Smith of the Dairymen s Asso
