Roofing Roses.

After many failures I have at last
succeeded in roofing rose cuttings. The
secret of success seemed to be first in
the selection of cuttings, which should
be young, tender shoots of new wood,
just beginning to form leaf buds. Cut
away the top of the slip three-quarters
of an inch above the eye, leaving on the
leaf growing under the eye. This
should bring the base of the cutting
about half an inch below the second or
third eye Remove all lower leaves, and
put the cuttings in moist sand UP to
the leaf on the top bud, setting the cut
tings three inches apart Have bed
prepared of clean, sharp sand, not less
than four inches deep. Protect by a
pane of glass, or window-sash, opening
through the middle on hot days for
ventilation. Keep the, sand constantly
wet, as on this depends results D. J. 0.

and fasten it with a staple about eight
or ten inches from the larger end of the
handle. Attach single tree to the
other end of the chain and the device
is complete
In pulling saplings or bushes pass the
chain around the bush on the side op-
posite from you, the long end of the
handle being held by you and the short
end passed over the chain as shown in
the sketch. This is easily made and
saves a great deal of time in fastening
the chain around the sapling and then
unfastening same With good stout
horse or mule, one can grub quite
large area of ground in day. BY hitch
ing it pretty high from the ground and
having an assistant with an ak to cut
the larger roots, quite good sized
saplings can be pulled up with this con-

cocoanut Planting In Hawaii.

1t is evident from the following notes,
extracted from the fourth Annual Re-
port of the Commissioners of Agricul-
ture and Forestry of the Hawaiian Is
lands, that efforts are being made to
exploit the possibilities Of cocoanut
planting in that territory:
"The manufacture and shipment of
considerable quantity of copra from the
island of Kauai, the organization of
company to start a cocoanut plantation
on the windward side of Oahu, and the
planting of numerous small groves on
the other islands, all point to the de-
velopment of cocoanut industry.
"The Hawaiian Islands lie just at the
northern edge of the zone in which the
cocoanut will thrive, but the demand for
cocoanut products-cocoanut OIL copra
and coir-is so great that the outlook is
full of promise. In Hawaii it takes from
seven to ten years for cocoanut grove
to come into bearing, but as this group
of islands is free from the severe storms
that at intervals do so much damage in
the South seas, Hawaii is able to COM
pete successfully with regions more
favorably located for cocoanut growing"
