FARM ANIMALS
CRAVE FOR SALT
Placed Within Ea ey Rea ch
They VIII Consume just
What They Need
and No More

All farm animals have an instinc.
tive craving for salt. But if it is so
placed as to be always within their
reach, they will consume just as much
as they need and no more, 1t is only
when it has been kept from them for
a long period that there Is danger Of
their eating too much. 1t is therefore
an excellent practice to keep it in n
box or boxes where they can have
access to it whenever they desire.
When they are sailed, as is the prac-
tice with many farmers, only once a
week, while some may get enough,
others may suffer from a deficient
supply. Salt promotes an active cir.
culation OF the blood, which never be-
comes thick and sluggish so long as
the supply is plentiful; it assists di-
gestion, and is often a preventive Of
disease 1t is so cheap that no stock
raiser can really afford to deny to his
animals all they want of it,

bark separates from the wood sim
plifies the work of inserting the bud
but as the growth is more active the
tissues OF the bud and the stock are
more likely to unite.
1t does not pay to graft trees which
show poor growth. and it seldom pays
to top-work any crab 1t Is also ques-
tionable as to whether 1t pays to top
work stone-fruit trees. While good
tops may be grown on either peach,
apricot or almond It is doubtful wheth-
er these crops will bear much quicker
returns than young trees set in the
place of the old ones
There are various methods OF graft
age the most common In the west be-
ing cleft and kerf grating. These op-
eratlons are simple and are known to
most orchardists.
IN Cleft grating. the limb is sawed
of squarely, the stub split down about
two inches with the grating chisel,
and the clefts wedged open with the
scion inserted as wedge.
The first bud should be left little
below the top OF the wedge, cutting
the edge Of the wedge opposite the
bud little thinner than the other
The scion is tier driven firmly into
place with the lower bud to the out
side, and little below the top OF the
cleft
1t IS important that the inner bark
on the outer edge of the wedge should
be brought in contact with the inner
bark on the stub 1t is between these
parts hat the union takes place.
Kerf grating is almost the same as
cleft grating. only the stub is pre-
pared by saw cuts instead of splitting.
These ere made on opposite sides OF
the stub and trilamed TO thin V-shaped
grooves with q saddler's knife, the
scion is then trimmed to fit, driven
firmly into place and waxed as in cleft
grating.
1t f. not good practice to remove
the whole top of the tree the first
year and graft all the stubs. Often
this proves too much for the tree and
it fails even after the CRAFTS have
made good start. They may linger
two or three years and then die.
A better plan is to cut away only
enough limbs to set scion for a good

The practice of grating is not a
mysterious art, as many suppose, but
is so simple that any careful orchard
list can and should do it himself. All
common fruit trees can easily be
budded or grated.
The apple and pear may be inter

true Of the peach, plum, apricot and
