New Method Developed by Student Of

A new method Of budding walnuts

those found just below the current
years growth. Only plump buds that
have remained dormant are employed
1t is also possible to use buds from
scion wood cut during the winter or
very early spring. when II is in per
fectly dormant condition II such
sciOns are placed in moist sand for a
couple Of weeks before the budding is
done the buds may be removed quite
easily.
In making the hinge bud a trans
verse incisiOn about half an inch long
is made about one inch above the sur
face Of the soil and similar one
about three-fOurths Of an inch above
the other The two are then connected
with a longitudinal incision which
forms the completed Il" cut on the
stock
The bud. which is rectangular and Of
exactly the same length as the dis

on the stock. is removed from the bud
stick by first making two transverse
cuts Of the proper distance apart to
give the correct le2gth to the bud and
then connecting these two by lOngitu-

FOR GROWERS OF TOMATOES.
Stalking Is Necessary If Finish Of

Stalking ls Necessary IL Finish Of
Early Fruit Is a Consideration.
Whether to stake or not to stake
tomatoes is a much debated subject.
says correspondent OF Gardening
Like a good many others. this one will
never be settled to the satisfaction Of
ALL Where it pays one man to stake
and sucker part or all OF his crop an
other would lose money by doing so
Many experiments are misleading
because they lack the practical side
BY this we mean the ability to take
the crop to market and bring home the
money.
We find that for the early trade 1t Is
absolutely necessary to stake our to
mators. as we cannot sell the product
from prOstrate vines n lacks the lin
fish which is so necessary for table
fruit There are other considerations
During rainy spells the trained vine
will set fruit where the other will not

In 174l Count Bestushew was sent
by the emperor OF Russia to Stockholm
to put the question Of war or peace to
the Swedish government Upon arriv-
ing the count made known his mission
and then waited patiently for an an

Finally when he had almost given up
hope OF getting a reply be received
long communication from the Swedish
minister OF war. Eagerly Count Bestu-
shew opened the letter. for be knew
that it contained the long expected an
swer. But to his despair he found It
so encumbered with official phrases
and formalitles that he could make
nothing Of its meaning. For two hours
he struggled In vain to comprehend the
confused document Then he FASTENED
to the minister Of war.
MY dear Count Bestushew," said
the minister when the count had ex-
planned his difficulty. II have no au-

Experiments Prove It's Great Worth ..

a Feed For Stock.
The South Carolina experiment sta
ton recently published a bulletin By
Archibald Smith giving the results O!
tests to ascertain the value OF differen'
kinds OF forage crops fed with cotton
seed meal. The main findings are OF
especial value to the farmers OF til,
south and Of great value to farmers f.
any section of the country. The bulle
tin demonstrates anew the economy
Of corn silage as beef producing feed
In this test silage, corn stOver ana
cottonseed hulls were compared. The
test demonstrated:
That corn silage gave by far the
best returns not only In economic pro
duction of beef, but also in the quality
OF beef and the shape In which 4,
reached the market
That sllage fed steers produced beef
from 10 to 20 per cent cheaper than the
other feeds.
That silage fed beef lost less in ship
ping to market. This Is a test which
some shippers have disputed in the
past, declaring silage fed beef lost Sc
vereIy In the shipping process.
That the silage fed group produced
gains that would warrant a value on
the silage Of $3.50 per ton--thls earn

sold for only $3.50 per hundred. Had
they been sold on a good market thel
