"OId Glory" Chickens.

Trenton, n. J.-ReV. Nelson Brown,
a Windsor preacher, awoke early the
other day to find that two of his
chickens had changed color. One had
turned red, the other blue. A naturally
white rooster made the trio of nation
al co1Ors complete.
The clergyman, wondering whether
his eyesight was out of gear, asked
neighbors to look at the chickens.

hg tissues Of both scion and stock
cannot be too strongly emphasized,
for upon this alone the success of
grating depends. To make this con-
tact Of the growing portions doubly
certain, the scion is often set at a
slight angle with the stock into
which it 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 COM
Dleted by covering all cut surfaces
with layer Of grating wax.
Cleft grating is particularly adapt
ed to top-working old trees, that 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.

A handy little tool for gardeners

of cuttings, and while that operation
is by no means a difficult one under
the old crude methods, the tool
