and blossom. The purpose of the
present method Is to initiate as near
iy as possible this natural process in
mid-winter at which time the fresh
growth will have special value.
Nowadays when Towering trees and
shrubs are SO common in our gardens
there will be no difficulty in finding
subjects for treatment. All the orna-
mental plums, apples, cherries and
currants, to mention only four kinds
are perfectly adapted, whilst the wild
species of these fruits which are to
be found in the hedge-rows may be
made equally useful. Bright green
foliage is always very acceptable and
branches of trees with large buds,
such as chestnuts and sycamores, may
be included in the collection.
The season of the year when the
system may be most successfully prac-
ticed Is during the months OF January
and February. Strange as it may
seem, the buds always expand more
readily II they have been subjected to
a week or two of frost, SO during
spell of severe weather is good time
to secure the boughs. 1t is of course,
a matter of Importance to be able to
select the boughs of the trees which
are we'll budded for blossom. Mostly
the flower buds will be fatter than
those producing only foliage.
In cutting the branches from the
trees II is matter of some Importance
to make a clean severance, seeing
that,iarn or ragged fractures prevent
q ffeeraevelopment on the part of the
twigs. The most shapely branches
should be selected and all along 1t
should be borne in mind that the
sprays are to be used in vases for
decorative purposes In order TO en-
able the boughs to absorb water as
freely as possible 1t is good plan to
remove some of the bark on the lower
portion OF the stem. This is best cut
away with a sharp knife in alternate
slices, as Is shown In the illustration.
Now secure a number of large bowls
into which some hot-not scalding-
water has been poured. Tie all the
branches to be treated into bundles
and place the ends OF the boughs in
the water, at once removing the
whole thing to dark cupboard.
This emersion in hot water seems
to have the curious tonic effect of
stirring the sleeping buds so that
when brought out into the light they
will be able to commence active
growth. or course the method is one

To save the time of bothering with
a stoneboat, or the exertion of lifting
the plow on to wagon each time it
has to be moved, we take board 80

board is beveled out In the center SO

There are returns from SO of the

Some Of the big Curtis counties

of the counties counted are small

governor carried.
The big counties missing are al

SO it is impossible. to tell yet wheth-

has, as the figures obtained from Il
