Fee and Reform.

Fred Fee, of St, Lucie, was elected
on the most radical platform of any
member of the present House. He
stood fot every reform he could think
Of, including the abolition of roligamy,
and let it be known in his campaign
that he solicited no votes with strings
attached. The st. Lucle populace think
Fred is the hot stuff and they showed
him into his seat with loud expressions
of 10y and appreciation. Dixie.

TRAINING THE YOUNG TREES
More Important Than Pruning and
Should Consist Mostly In Keep
inc Plant Balanced.
(By w. J. GREEN.)

(By w. J.. GREEN.)
Training the young orchard is more
needful than pruning, and should
consist mostly in shaping the trees or
keeping them in form and properly
balanced. Very often the side OPP
posite the direction from which the
prevailing winds come, becomes
heavier than the side towards the
wind, and the removal of some of
the branches and heading in of others
becomes necessary.
Some shoots become too rampant
and need checking to reserve the
balance of the tree, and others can
be bent and tied to fill the open
spaces. Work of this kind and the
removal of water sprouts may be
done in the summer.
A bushy or clustered habit of
growth is not uncommon even in
quite young trees, and needs to be
corrected by the removal Of surplus
branches.

ly, and cover lightly. 1t is a mistake
to SOW deeply.
The ground must be kept moist and
covered, that is, protected from the
rain, wind and hot sun, until the
plants appear. 1t requires from three
weeks to a month to bring the plants
to the surface, then they must be
carefully busted with a little tobacco
and sulphur mixed, to keep down the
fungus and insects. 4
The primrose requires a moist, but
not wet soil, and IL the soil is allow.

tarded or entirely stopped.
Used in borders or in pots, the lit
tie primrose is always a beautiful.

METHOD IN CLEFT GRATING
the Previous Seasons Growth
of the Tree.

To make a cleft graft select a
branch one or one and one-half inches
in diameter and sever it with a saw.
Care should be taken that the bark
be not loosened from any portion of
the stub. Split the exposed end with
a broad thin chisel or grating tool.
Then with a wedge or the wedge
shaped prong at the end of the graft
ing tool spread the cleft SO that the
scion may be inserted.
The scion should consist of a por-
ton of the previous seasons growth
Of the tree to be p~ropagated and
should be long enough to have two
or three buds. The lower end of the
scion, which is to be inserted into
the cleft, should be cut into the shape
OF a wedge, having the outer edge
thicker than the other. In general
1t is a good plan to cut the scion SO
that the lowest bud will come just at
the top of this wedge in order that 1t
will be nea the top of the stock.
The advantage of cutting the wedge
thicker at one side Is illustrated
showing how the pressure of the stock
Is brought upon the outer growing
parts Of both scion and thock, where
as were the scion thicker on the in.
ner side the conditions would be re.
versed and the death of the scion
would follow.

HANDY TOOL FOR FLORISTS

Pulls Out Without lt-Caves
Considerable Time.

A handy little tool for gardeners
and florists is that devised by a
Georgia man and shown in the illus
tration. 1t is for the t~ransplanting
of cuttings, and while that operation
is by no means a difficult one under
saves a lot of time il there is much
of the work to be done. Anyone who
has t~ransplanted slips will see at a
glance how the implement is used.
At the end of a rod is a metal head
with a wedge-shaped point and an in.

Should Report tuberculosis Cases.

Should Report tuberculosis Cases.
The National Association for the
study and Prevention of tuberculosis
says that the first requisite for q COM
prehensive campaign for the elimina-
ton of tuberculosis In a state or city
- well-enforced law, requiring that ev-
cry living case Of tuberculosis be re-
ported to the health authorities. Such
reporting is now required by law or
health regulations in Is states, while
in % states and territories no provi-
sion whatever is made for keeping rec
ords of cases of this infectious disease.
Several cities In non-registratiOn
states, as for instance, Chicago. Cleve-
land, st. Louis and New Orleans, have
local ordinances requiring that tuber.
culosis be reported. In all, there are
about 100 cities in the United States
which have ordinances OF this nature.

clined slot open at its lower end. An
inch or so of the lower end of the
cutting is passed through this slot
and turned up, to form a loop. The
tool is then thrust into the ground
to the depth desired, and as it is
withdrawn the slip is left in the hole.
The earth around the top of the hole
is pinched together to hold the plant
erect, and there you are. The old
method of first punching a hole with
stick or finger and then thrusting the
plant into it took a great deal more
time.

Prevent FUNGUS Diseases.

Prompt removal of all dead and de.
caying portions Of fruit trees, imme-
diately burning the same, will lessen
fungous diseases Of fruit trees of all
kinds. In the case of fire blight, a
disease common to pear and apple
trees. the removal and burning of all
affected parts is the only known rem
edy for curing a tree or holding the
disease in check. 10 chemical rem
edy has yet been found that will kill
the spores of the blight disease.
In a similar manner 1t is always
a good plan to promptly remove all
defective fruit from the orchard
either when the defect is caused By
fungi or insects.
The New era-leader. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1911-1912, 1911-06-16

Sow wood ashes broadcast In the
orchard.
The best two methods OF grating
is cleft and side grating.
A little grating here below makes
be~tter-favored apples grow.
Always buy clean, straight trees
with short stems and even then do
not be afraid to prune before plant
ing.
II you think of setting cut an
orchard and have had no experience,
better hire a good man to show you
how.
The flowers of many trees, like the
oak. elm and hickory, are SO incon-
~spicuous that they are popularity sup
posed to be altogether lacking.
Three years Of spraying. pruning
and cultivation will bring an orchard
that you are ashamed Of into q con
diticn that you viii be proud Of.
The New era-leader. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1911-1912, 1911-06-16

ing tissues of both scion and stock
cannot be too strongly emphasized,
for upon this alone the success of
grating depends. To make this o n
tact of the growing portions doubly
certain, the scion is often set at a
slight angle with the stock into
which 1t is inserted. In order to cause
the growing portions of the two to
cross.
After the scions have been set, the
operation of cleft grating is CON-
pleted by covering all cut surfaces
with a layer of grating a
Cleft grating is particularly adapt
ed to top-working old trees, hat is,
changing them from undesirable to
desirable varieties. Branches too large
to be worked by other methods can be
cleft grated. Sometimes several va.
rieties are grated on a single tree.
The best time for cleft grating is in
the spring just after growth has be-
gun. Wood for scions is usually cut
in the fall tied in bundles, and bur-
led in sand to protect them from ex-
tremes of heat and cold until they
are to be used.

DOCTOR PRESCRlBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

II wish to let you know of q couple
Of recent cures which / have made
by the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, MI. -- OF this city
came to my office, troubled with .
severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
in its worst form. 1t started with q
slight eruption and would affect most
parts of his body, thighs, elbows,
chest, back and abdomen-and would
terminate in little pustules. The itch
ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
ing to get relief. / recommended all
the various treatments I could think
Of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
I'm the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some Of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a fair trial.
But as I did not know much about
Cuticura at that time / vas doubtful
whether it would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers. wrists and
arms. I could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths of Cuticura
Soap and applications of Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in a few days she was COM
pletely cured.
Il lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -,
and this was two months ago. I told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment generously. Believe
me, from the very first days use Of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. / have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them nov that I am convinced Of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) b.

The best way to propagate prim
roses is from seeds, which should be
sown as soon as the soil becomes
thoroughly warm.
The seed are quite small. but are
easily scattered by sowing in a box or
bed. The soil must be sifted fine ano
of a moldy consistency, which will not
