The operation OF budding must be
done carefully to succeed. Use very
sharp knife. cut out the bud with
shield Of bark at least an inch
long and there should be little
wood under the bud. The incision
in the stock must be carefully made

After this bud Is placed. the op-

two weeks this string must be cut and
removed. but at the same time the up
per end the shield must be relied. Tho
upper end unites with stock slowly.
and often loosens and rolls back. This
means failure. so that the second
tying Is needed TO get good stand OF
buds. This work Is done In July and

work should be something more than
Just skinned over the surface to

liable to pay too much attention to
variety tests and to tests of methods
applicable more or less to local con-
ditions. Hitching's orchard methods
may be profitable In one place and ut.
terly worthless In another. Station
horticulture should deal with general

TIMOTHY AND RED TOP HAY

Timothy should be cut for market

ally get their wheat hauled into the
barn before commencing TO cut tim.
othy as the wheat Is the more valu.
able crop. and should be hauled In be-
fore the grain Is damaged BY heavy
rains.
When timothy Is fully ripe. a good
plan is to cut as soon as the dew Is
OFF In the morning. rake up In the aft.
ernoon and rack and the next day haul
In or stack in the field With a full
force OF hands this is the best and
cheapest way. the hay Is cut. cured and
stacked before II becomes so dry as
to break in the handling OF It. The
side delivery hay rake. the rake load
er and the hay fork In the hands Of
competent men make quick work. Red
top makes a slow growth at first and
ripens the latter part OF July. II is
well to have a field OF red top for win
ter feed. This grass thrives best upon
low damp meadow land. II plenty Of
seed is sown. II will drive out almost
all weeds and grasses. and the land II
deep and rich will give a heavy yield
OF fine excellent hay. which all stock
are very fond.
The timothy and red top meadows
should not be pastured unless the sec
ond growth is luxurant
II possible the second growth clover
should be cut for seed. or for hay. The
second growth Of clover will make
horses slobber in mid-winter. but the
hay Is excellent for cows. sheep and
