1e YEARS OF SKIN DISEASE

For sixteen long years l have been
suffering with bad case of skin dis
ease. While child there broke out a
red sore on the legs just in back OF
my knees. 1t waxed from bad to worse,
and at last l saw / had bad skin
disease. l tried many widely known
doctors in different cities but to no
satisfactory result The plague both
cred me more in warm weather than
in winter and being on my leg joints
it made it impossible for me to walk,
and was forced to stay indoors in the
warmest weather. My hopes Of recov-
cry were by this time spent. Sleepless
nights and restless days made life an
unbearable burden. At last was
advised to try the Cuticura remedies
[Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills1
and I did not need more than trial
to convince me that was on the road
of success this time. I bought two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies and
after these were gone l was a differ
ent man entirely 1 am now the hap
piest man that there Is at least one

HORINcl|I1IRF,
WAY TO BUD PEACH TREES
Task Should Be Performed While
There Is Sufficient Sap Beneath
Bark to Allow Raising.

Budding is best performed when
mere Is still sufficient sap beneath the
park to permit the latter being easily
raised with knife. On the other hand,
II the work is done when the tree is
sui growing vigorously 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 rub
bed off to height of five or six inches
to enable the builder to work more
freely. A perpendicular cut is now
made in the stock as near the ground
as possible from an inch to an inch
and a half long, and preferably on the
north side of the tree, as the bud will
not be SO readily dried out by the sun
on that side. The cut should only ex-
tend through the bark. Another cut

PUTTING BULBS IN GROUND
Should Be Given Ample Time to De-
VeIop Their Roots Before Severe
Cold Weather Sets IN.

Bulbs should be put into the ground
as soon as they can be procured from
the dealer.
The impression prevails to a large
extent that bulbs can be planted any
time during the fall. That is, that
it is safe to put them out any time be-
fore the ground freezes.
This is mistake, which grows out
of lack of knowledge Of the plants
habits. A bulb makes an annual
growth of roots during the fall. These
are the roots which support 1t next
spring, while it is blooming. Unless
this root-growth is completed In the
fall, it will give crop of inferior
flowers, as the incomplete work OF
autumn will be taken up where it was
interrupted by cold weather, and car
ried on to completion while the plant
is trying to produce crop of flowers
This makes it attempt to do double
duty on a slender stock of vitality.
Late-planted bulbs, therefore, nearly
always give us inferior flowers, and Of
ten none at all.
This explains why it is advisable to
plant bulbs as early in fall as possible.
Give, them ample time to develop
their roots before cold weather puts
an end to the work of the season, il
you want them to give you fine flowers
next spring.

should now be made across the top of
the perpendicular one. The two cuts
when made will appear in the form of
a letter T.
The buds are cut from well devel-
oped shoots Of the current seasons
growth Of the variety it is desired to
propagate The best developed buds
are chosen, which will be found about
the middle of the shoot or stick"
Before the buds are removed the
leaves should be cut off the shoots; a
piece Of the petiole or leaf stem is left,
however, by which the bud may be
handled after it is removed. A very
sharp, thin blade knife is necessary in
removing the bud. Knives are spe-
cially made for this purpose. The bud
is cut off the shoot downwards or up
wards, whichever is more convenient,
the general practise, however, is to cut
upwards. The length Of the piece
removed with the bud should be about
one inch long, and the cut surface
smooth. 1t should be quite thin, as
but little of the wood is taken with
the bud. The buds or twigs should
be kept where they will not dry out
while the work of budding is going on,
preferably in water or a piece of wet
sacking. The bud is inserted under the
bark by raising the latter with the
blade of the knife or the part of the
budding knife made for that purpose.
The, bud is then pushed down and
under the bark with the fingers, and
finally the piece of leaf stalk which
was left when it was removed from
the twig is pressed with the blade of
the knife to bring the bud into proper
position. The bark on each side of the
bud. which should now be under the
bark of the stock, will hold 1t in po-
sition. In order to bring the bud and
stock into close contact and prevent
the former from drying up before the
union takes place, they should be tied
tightly together with raffia or some
soft string, taking care not to cover
the bud with it. The bud should unite
with the stock in two or three weeks,
and after that time the string should
be cut, otherwise the bud may be
injured. If the proper season has been
chosen for the work the bud should re-
main dormant until the spring. If it
starts in the autumn it may be killed
during the winter In the following
spring the stoc kshould be cut off
lust above the bud, which will cause
all the strength of the stock to be d.
rected into the bud and produce rapid
growth, three feet not being an excep-
tional growth of the first season. The
above directions apply to other tree
fruits, such as apple, pear, plum and
cherry, except that the stocks for them
ara usually two years old
