METHOD IN CLEFT GRATING
Scion Should Consist Of Portion Of
the Previous Seasons Growth
Of the Tree.

To make cleft graft select
branch one or one and one-half inches
in diameter and sever it with 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 chiseI 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 por-
ton OF the previous seasons growth
OF the tree to be propagated 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 near 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
az were the scion thicker on the in
ner side the conditions would be re.
would follow.

WALKING Skirts.

Enter the tweed skirt that is short,
we'll fitted, pocketed and rain and dust
defying. 1t is practical walking skirt
for mountain climbers. for "shirtwaist
girls" for city business women.
There are many styles to copy when
making it. The circular skirt is always
good If you are able to prevent sag
ging at the back seam. This can be
done by sewing tape with the edges
the full length of the back seam.
The two-piece skirt with the seams
at the sides is very satisfactory.
Then there is the circular form, with
piecing at the center line of both back
and front.
A deep hem is stitched with eight or
ten hows of stitching; little pocket
with a buttoned flap is added, and a
narrow stitched belt Of the same ma
terial finishes the eminently practical
garment.

NEWEST COLORS AND WEAVES
Softness Is Likely to Be the Strong
Point of Each-StrIpes and Hair
Lines Liked.

Apart from a few eccentr1c1tles
which feminine good taste will soon
Danish, fashion this season is bringing
us some charming creations among
the new materials, such as, for In
stance, the reversible covert coating,
one side of which is striped and the
other plain.
Silky cashmeres in very soft tones
will also be offered to us-gray, terra
Gotta, blue, etc. These cashmeres also
have one side glossy and one striped.
This stripe is generally black and
white, though sometimes dark color,
such as navy, brown or violet, re-
places the black. Among these double
faced materials which will be very
popular, and which lend themselves
to such multiple and charming COM
binations, navy blue lined with khaki,
gray or plaid Of an indistinct pattern,
will be very successful. Very chic
also are the fine striped materials
black and whites lined with orange or
cerise, or plain black lined with mole
or Parma violet, or black with fine
hair lines in azure, green or mauve,
which have an elegance quite their
own
We can imagine nothing which adds
more to the slender appearance SO
much sought after than these stripes
and hair lines. Our tailor-mades in
these materials Will be simple and har-
monious, straight without exaggera-
ton. The plain revers will be lined
with fancy material, as also will the
turned-back hem of the skirt.

REVIVAL OF ETAMINE NOTED

lined with pongee or mousseline de

suitable for tailor costumes. 1t is
much preferable to reserve it for the
new dresses, which are to be slightly
gathered and drawn.
Do these gatherings predict a return
to more amplitude? It is too soon to
affirm it as yet. Be that as it may,
we may note the fact that in some of
our light dresses, skirts with founda-
lions have made their appearance. But

TRAINING THE YOUNG TREES
More important Than Pruning and
Should Consist Mostly in Keep
inc Plant Balanced.
(By w. ]. GREEN.)

Training the young orchard is more
needfuI 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 I'LL 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.

PUNCHING HIS HARD LUCK
Sufferer From Toothache Summoned
Philosophy to His Aid During

said the dentist. Il met one this

But you can't work when you are
crazy with the toothache," 1 argued.
"Oh, yes l can," said he. There
are half a dozen other things l want
done to me that hurt pretty bad, and
if I have them done when my tooth
is on the rampage they won't seem so
bad, because one hurt will neutralize

ing 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
pleted 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 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

to SOW deeply.
The ground must be kept moist and

HANDY TOOL FOR FLORISTS
Stoves Cutting Into the Earth and
Pulls Out Without It--Saves
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 transplanting
of cuttings, and while that operation
is by no means a difficult one under
the old crude methods, the tool
saves a lot of time if there is much
of the work to be done. Anyone who
has transplanted slips will see at a
glance how the implement is used.
At the end of rod is a metal head

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 hole with
stick or finger and then thrusting the
plant into it took a great deal more

prevent Funuous diseases.

Prompt removal of all dead and de-
caying portions of fruit trees, imme.
diateIy 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. No chemical rem
edy has yet been found that will kill
the spores of the blight disease.
In a similar manner it is always
a good plan to promptly remove all
defective fruit from the orchard,
either when the defect is caused by
fungi or insects.

Fashion is to the kimono sleeves,

skirts there is a loose pleat at the

lengths, but generally reaches the
hem. This has charming effect, and
takes away the extreme severity of
the plain, tight skirt. The train which
has made its appearance is either cut
quite square or II very marrow indeed.
