MORPHINE RELIEVED PAIK---THE
GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY RE-
STORES TO HEALTH

For the past few years I suffered great
ly from what three physicians called neu-
ralgia of the stomach. The doctors treat
ed me without any success and | called in
q fourth doctor, who pronounced my dis
ease gall stones. I suffered intense pain
and the only relief the doctor could give
me was by injections of morphine. was
so completely discouraged that I had al
most given up hope when a neighbor told
me about DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root l
decided to try it and began its use at
once and after taking nine bottles was
completely cured, not having a spell of
sickness in over two years.
l have so much confidence in Swamp
Root that never fail to recommend it to
my friends who may have kidney trouble
of any kind. / feel certain that DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root saved my life, why
should it not do likewise for others who
take it in time?
You are at liberty to use this testimony

John HI. Rising, Lestershire, New
York. Mr.. Rising takes The Ranch
and expresses his appreciation of the
paper in this wise: 81 enjoy your
writings in The Ranch and usually
read them first. The object Mr..
Rising had in writing me was to call
my attention to Seeding peach
which he has raised on his place. He
says that one of these peaches measur-
ed eight and one-h half inches in Cir
conference and weighed three-fourths
of pound. He says it is freestone,
a beautiful yellow with a red cheek
and is most excellent in quality.
He asks if such peach is not worthy
of being extensively cultivated. My
answer was that it is worthy of trial.
l have seen peaches much larger, but
yellow peach of that size and color
with fine quality would certainly sell
we'll. Mr.. Rising wants to know how
to proceed to bud this peach. l have
written him privately. He has sent
me some young twigs and we hope to
propagate it in the wild and woody
west' where | doubt not it will grow
larger than in its birth place.
There are two seasons for budding
peaches, one is in June and the other
is in August. Peaches are not usual
ly grated and the operation is not
very successful. This is true of all
stone fruits. 1t we want to bud in
June, We must cut our scions while
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-04-15

dormant in the winter or early spring.
They must be kept in cool place
where they will not dry out. Usually
they are kept in sand slightly moist
but not really wet. The reason we
must wait til June is that we can not
bud till the bark will slip. These
June buds if properly handled will
grow to a height of two or three feet
that summer. I set 1000 June budded
peach trees one spring. They we're
about three feet high, roots and tops
combined. They made a fine growth
and are now as fine as l have in my
orchard of 5000 trees.
Every person in the fruit business
should learn to bud and graft. 1t is
not difficult thing to learn. First
of all, get some book that treats of
such matters and study IL thoroughly
and then try practicing what you
have learned. There is a book by
Prof. l.. H. Bailey called THE
Nursery Book" that is very plain in
it's instructions and should be in the
hands of all new beginners in the
fruit business. Any leading book
store can get the book for those desir-
ing it.

SCIONS DRIED UP AND
CARE OF SAME.

John M. Doak, Olga, WASH, writes
under date of March %, as follows:
81 sent to Montana for some apple
scions. They were shipped by express
on the Oath of last month and we're
delayed in Seattle, so that it was just
two weeks from the time they we're
shipped until received them. They
were done up 'dry" put them in
moist ground as soon as | received
them. Do you think it will be safe
to use them?"
l answered Mr.. Doak Immediately,
for he doubtless wanted to use these
scions soon, and could not wait a
month for an answer through The
Ranch. But 1 am answering here
because there are some things about
the condition of scions to be used in
top grating that many people, with
out experience in such matters, do
not understand. My opinion is that
Mr.. Doak will find his scions in good
condition, and that they will grow if
they are properly handled in the
operation of grating. The old rule
among nurserymen is "a thirsty scion
and sappy stock SO long as scions
are not shriveled they are all right.
Sometimes in shipping such scions
by express they are put near a hot
stove and baked by the heat. That
would impair their vitality and they
would not grow. This heating would
be apt to show in the shriveled con-
dition Of the CRAFTS, but this might
not be noticed. In our experience in
top grating, we have cut scions in
the winter and kept them till the first
of May and they would grow perfect
ly OF coure these scions must be
kept in cool place where they will
not dry out. A neighbor of mine
once showed what seemed almost a
miracle in topworking apple trees.
He set out some two year old apple
trees late in the spring. They had
been healed in and were kept dormant.
On the first of May he cut limb off
one of these newly set trees and top
grated it into a tree near by that
was out in full leaf. This dormant
limb set in sappy stock started to
grow very soon and leaved out before
the tree did, from which it was cut.
This limb was not dead but dol INFANT
and the sap entered it at once and
caused it to grow. Had this opera.
ton been reversed, that is, if he had
cut scion from the tree in full leaf
and grated it into the dormant stock,
the operation would have been an
absolute failure. Don't worry a bit
about your scions so long as they are
not shriveled

that it takes a great deal OF
science and skill to produce the
kind of trees that will make the
best growth and give the best
satisfaction?
Many people imagine that with
a good location one has only to
plant the tree in the Spring and
dig it up in the Fall. This may
do for same, but not with us.
We took particular pains to
secure the best location here in
the Yakima Valley, where the
soil is exceedingly rich and well
drained, and where the growing
season is long.
By our constant cultivation
during the growing season, and
otherwise assisting Nature when
ever possible, we turn out fine,
stocky tree with splendid lot OF
healthy, fiberous roots, unsur-
passed anywhere.
A good root system is the
foundation of a tree, and without
this good root system you cannot
secure the best results.
If you intend to plant now or
next season. write for our cata-
log. 1t will save you money.
