Top working as a means OF estab.
fishing a weak growing variety on a
stronger root system than its own is
now coming into favor. Some varie-
ties of apple susceptible to attacks
OF root rots and other diseases, could
no doubt be successfully grown on
roots of varieties which are apparent.
1y resistant. Broken and diseased
limbs may be saved by grating and
progressive frlit growers who desire
to test new varieties can best do 1t by
grating few cions into bearing
trees.
Systems Of grating over old trees
have long been practiced and expert
ence has proven that, II properly
done. top-working brings quicker re-
turns than the replanting of young
trees. 1t Is not uncommon to see a
fairly good crop on the three-year-old
top OF top-worked tree. Trees prop
eriy worked-over give tops rs de-
sirable and sometimes more SO than
trees Of the same variety grown from
nrstclass nursery stock
Some years ago the fruit grower
looked upon the practice of grating
rs mysterious art and upon the man
who went about doing the work as a
sort OF wizard: as a matter of fact,
1t Is SO simple that any careful or
chardist can and should do It him
SELF. All OF our common fruit trees
can be easily grated or budded.
In grating young trees in the

early In the life OF the tree as DOS

framework can be secured the tree Is

A style Of grating known Ms whip

small stubs Of young trees. With this
method 1t may be possible to set the
cions after one years growth in tho

time will be gained by such practice.

In grating young trees 1t is a com.

Just how serious q problem tubercu-

Just what ways pastors are called up

this disease. Is the subject Of an in

being gathered from thousands OF
ministers regarding this subject. and

It is planned to place these statistics

Care for Henhouse,

II your henhouse is open and drafty,
chink 1t up or batten the cracks in
scme way. Especially make the roof
tight-not only waterproof. but wind
proof as well. While the birds need
fresh air. they cannot stand piercing
drafts from every side; make your
house Ms wind proof as you can get It
on every side except the front. and
here is where your ventilation should
come from. Have the ventilation ar
rangements SO they may be controlled
in stormy weather.

little more delicate than that Of
grating. the average man can. with q
little practice. get very satisfactory
results. Buds should be placed as
soUh as the top is well formed. set
ting one or two in each scaffoid limb
that Is to be retained. The buds are
generally set from six to twelve
inches from the main stem. depending
on the formation Of The head. Trees
two years old when set may generally
be budded the following fall. and
should yearling whips make n strong
growth. the arms may be large
enough to receive buds In September.
Any stem as large as n lead.pencil
may be budded quite easily. Arms
in which buds fail to start may be
grated the following spring. Should
arms fail to appear in the proper
place It is quite possible to supply
them by setting buds directly into
the body of the young tree. When
the buds begin to push into new
growth they will require about the
same care as CRAFTS. Pinch back to
strengthen the stem.
The simplest form OF budding Is
that known as Shield.budding. The
position for the bud is chosen with

ALL INDIGESTION GONE
Heartburn, Gas, Dyspepsia and Other
Stomach Misery Vanlshes

The question as to how long you
are going to continue sufferer from
Indigestion, Dyspepsia or out of or
der Stomach is merely matter Of
how soon you begin taking some Dia-
pepsin.
If your stomach is lacking in d.
gestive power, why not help the sto-
mach to do its work, not with drastic
drugs, but a reinforcement of diges-
tive agents, such as are naturally at
work in the stomach.
People with weak Stomachs should
take little Diapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more Indigestion
no feeling like lump of lead in the
stomach, no heartburn, sour risings,
gas on stomach or belching Of undi-
gested food, Headaches, Dizziness or
Sick Stomach, and, besides, what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous doors. All
these symptoms resulting from a
sour, out Of order stomach and dys-
pepsia are generally relieved in five
minutes after taking a little Diapep-
sin
Go to your druggist and get a 90
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now,
and you will always go to the table
with a hearty appetite and what you
eat will taste good, because your
stomach and intestines will be clean
and fresh, and you will know there
are not going to be any more bad
nights and miserable days for you
They freshen you and make you feel
life is worth living.

SENATE REFUSES

THE PEOPLE
Popular Elections Amendment
Was Defeated.
VERMONT IN THE NEGATIVE
Men From Green Mountain State
Among 80 Who Voted Against
the Measure.

Washington, March 1.-The United
States Senate yesterday afternoon re-
iected the proposed amendment to
the constitution providing for the
election of United States Senators by
a popular vote. The amendment was
defeated by vote of "a to 80, four
Senators being absent. To adopt the
amendment two-thirds vote is nee.
essary. Senators Dillingham; and
Page Of Vermont voted in the mega.
tive.
BY the direction of the chair the
joint resolution providing for the ell.
ection of Senators by the people, as
amended by the Sutherland proviso
giving the federal government super.
visory control over the senatorial
elections was placed before the Sen.
ate. The ayes and nays we're order.

Senator Bacon OF Georgia endeay.
ored to offer an amendment to the
resolution so as to provide that the
federal supervision of elections
should apply only in those states the
legislatures of which had failed to
designate the manner and method OF
holding the elections. The amend.
ment was held not in order and the
roll call was proceeded with. 1t was
"a foregone conclusion that the reso
luton would not have the two thirds
majority necessary TO its passage but
despite this fact the voting was fol
lowed with keen interest, both on the
floor and in the crowded galleries.
Senator Gallinger at first voted
aye, but later said it was an mad
yertance and asked to be recorded in
the negative.
The absentees were Senators Aid
rich, Crawford, Frazier and Terrell
of Georgia. 1t was announced that
had they been present Frazier would
have voted aye. Terrell nay. There
was no announcement about Senator
Aldrich.
Senator Crawford, entering after
the roll call was complete said he haC
been delayed by stalled street car
and would have voted aye.
When the resolution was declared
lost there was no demonstration OF
any sort. From the Democratic side
OF the floor there were several calls
Of Good! good" The Sutherland
amendment for federal control of the
elections for Senators had made the
measure unpopular with some OF the
far Southern Senators.

work, made wild race across the

fathers illness. During the flying
trip from the East, says her father
she treated him ALPHABETICALLY, II

Turning to the girl, who was stand

had me take"
The doctors admit that since the
coming OF Miss Miller the aged poet
has grown vastly better.
