1t is also possible to use buds from

In making the hinge bud q trans

is made about one inch above the sur

about three-fourths Of an inch above

with a longitudinal incision which
forms the completed II" cut on the

The bud, which is rectangular and OF
exactly the same length as the dis

cuts of the proper distance apart to

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Treating Wounds Of Trees.

The Ohio station reports that two
steps in pruning wound treatment of
trees may be found necessary. One Is
the sterilization of the surface Of q
wound by the use Of torch or the
application Of an antisepdc or spore
destroying substance. The other Is
the application Of dressings to prevent
the entrance Of harmful spores or bac-
terra. One such dressing Is generally
sufficient. There are large number
Of effective germicides, such as cor
rosive sublimate. gasoline. kerosene.
carbolic acid. petroleum. copper sui
phate and formaldehyde. The availa-
bility Of any depends largely upon the
nature of the wound. Protective
paints have usually been applied as
dressings. but. as rule. these are very
ineffective. Far better are prepare
lions Of asphaltum and residual tars.

A HORSES PULLING POWER
DETERMINED BY GRADES
Dean Raymond of Iowa University
Brings Up New Question.

A totally new element has been
brought into the good roads question
by Dean William G. Raymond, head
Of the college of engineering of the
State university Of Iowa. In an address
before the Johnson county good roads
convention.
Although Dean Raymond is working
for permanent roads, he wants the
state to go in with its eyes open and
consider all the problems. This one
relates to grades
with dirt roads," said Dean Ray
mond. 1.-The pulling power of a team Of
horses is limited more by the condi-
ton Of the surface of the road than by
the steepness of the grades. But with
concrete, brick or macadam roads the
pulling power Of horse on the level
is immensely increased, and it is the
grades which determine the size Of
load that can be pulled. Consequently
in order to get the benefit Of perma-
nent roads it will be necessary to cut
down the grades.
THE practical effect is about as fol-
lows says the dean:
"a team Of horses can exert steadily
on a dirt road a pull Of $50 pounds,
which is enough to pull load Of two
and one-half tons on the level. and the
team can pull the same load over shcrt
hills of q rise of from five to eight
feet in the hundred by extra exertion.
"But on q concrete road the team
Of horses can pull load three or four
times as great on the level. When It
comes to hill. however, the team can
not pull this added load over the same
grade that it could travel over with
the lighter load ON dirt roads"
Dean Raymond figures that the max
imum load for level concrete roads can
only be pulled over per cent grade
that is. over hill that rises two feet
In the hundred.
In his address he went into the cost
Of permanent roads, urging short time
bonds, and said he considered perma-
nent roads more of an Investment than
an expense. The $1,000 or $4,000 a
mile invested in permanent road Is
not loss. he said. The money Is spent.
but the community has the road, and
before the road is worn out 1t has Its
value in use and in increased value or
property.-Iowa Homestead.

an uncommon occurance but we
have just learned of person getting
lost in Washburn, and the person.
too. being pioreer resident OF the
city. This is the way it happened:
The gentleman in question arose al
an early hour to catch the morning
train to the dynamite plant. The
morning was foggy and it was i'm
possible TO see more than a few feet
ahead. There is a Jog in the street al
Washington avenue, crossing from
the west side TO the east side. and as
he crossed the avenue he bumped in
to the fence on she other side. In
trying to right himself again in the
darkness he lost his way and con-
tinued to wander about until he
came to house where light was
burning and he was able to right
himself again. In tellingof the ex-
perience the gentleman said that he
had never, during his twenty-five
years residence in the city, seen
such dark morning as twas the
other morning when he became lost.
In order that they might not have
the experience over again the coun-
ty board members at an early stage
of their meeting Monday voted to
allow themselves the per diem and
mileage forgotten at the November
meeting when they adjourned in a
hurry,
The "blind deer" story told on a
local hunter has been knocked into
Oblivion by more recent story
which is now being told as authentic
Tt is so strong you can scent it
coming. A hunter had been out at
one of the camps not more than a
thousand miles away where he was
endeavoring to run down the fleet
footed deer, hoping to be able to
bring one down with his "trusty"
rifle-(note the trusty is for the
rifle). After one or two days OF
fruitess search he finally came upon
a lonesome deer which he claimed to
have wounded badly, but owing to
darkness had to give up the chase
that night. When he returned to
camp he told Of his luck in seeing a
deer aud his misfortune in loosing 1t
after he had wounded it badly. He
was positive it would die. The follow.
ing day did not locate the wound
ed deer but the next evening two OF
the boys returning to the camp re.
ported having found a dead deer in
the woods, which they attempted to
dress but owing to the high state of
putrefaotion, had TO give it up
They told the story of their find and
the third day the hunter who had
wounded the animal went out again
to find his prey. 1t is said he came
upon the dead deer and Immediately
tore off the tag on his hunting
license and attached the same to the
dead carcass, dressed the animal
and hung it in the woods where it
remained until he was ready to
bring it to town. The three others
of the party who had deer to bring
to town refused to carry the animal
on the wagon with with their deer
and a wagon was hired to bring it
to the nerrest railroad station and
it was brought to the city. 1t is
said that the hunter was jubilant
over his success in being able to
bring home deer, for it is said that
il was the first one that he had been
able to claim as "his very own.
No doubt the hide would make g God
