be cut off an inch or so below the sur
face OF the ground.
The actual joining OF stock and
scion may be by the tongue grating
method, groove grating, cleft graft
ing. split grating. slip grating, crown
grating or splice grating. The best
kind to use will depend upon whether
your stocks are larger than the scions,
or of equal size. If the stock is larger
than the. scion il would be better to
use the cleft or split graft, but if the
scion and stock are about the sans
size perhaps the best method would
be by the splice graft. In this the
stock and scion are cut with long
oblique and equally slanting face, so
that when the faces a,e brought to-
gether the tree will point directly up
ward.
IL will be best to have q little shout
der at the upper end OF the slant on
the stock; that is, cut about a half
inch OF the upper slanting side OF the
stock sQuarely of, then cut q square
offset on the side OF the scion at the
upper end of the oblique, slanting cut.
Let the offset be as deep as the shout
der on the upper part of the stock, so
the two will fit snugly together, with
the two cambium layers exactly oppo
site here. as we'll az down the slanting
faces pressed against each other.
When the grating is done on a
stock below the surface of the ground
very little wrapping with waXed cloth
or otherwise is necessary. but little
cotton Irvine may be wrapped around
the graft where the joining was made,
or two very small rubbers may be
placed around this spliced joining 10
keep it well pressed together. Push
the rubbers down over the stock,
make the cuts and the joining and
then work the two rubbers up around
the spliced place. The scion should
be not more than four inches long,

LIVING AND THE DEAD

AS he bolted from the ferry and

Barker felt all the exhilaration OF
heroism. He was just home from the
Philippines and his mind was burden

His telegram had prepared the way

her hand and threw back her head IN

Yes was all she said, and her
expression was SO imperturbable that
the officer paused and glanced at her
keenly.
The lieutenant took a packet of pa

Barker went white TO his finger-tips.
There was something else, but how
could he tell this splendid woman,
whom he loved better-aye, a thou
sand times better-than the man who
had married her, that her husband
died with the name OF another woman
on his lips? And she had asked him

and said that although she was all
ready to go to Atlantic City she
couldn't leave until she knew that her
bird would be cared for during the
summer. Her relatives absolutely re-
fused to take the poor thing, and she
declared that if was any kind OF a

prove it. So what could | do?"

bird. We don't understand anything
about their food, drink, bath or habits.

from Marjory. Mildred, don't you

cat! Can't you see Dorothy's bird?

icy tones. IF you care more for Dor

darling Mopsy we shall not trouble
you any more with our unwelcome
presence" Then the irate sister
marched out Of the room.
II wish had never seen that horrid
bird or Dorothy, either!" lamented
Marjory.
After two months absence Dorothy
returned and claimed her canary. The
first evening after the birds departure
Marjory noticed that both her father
and her mother kept gazing at the
empty bracket where the bird had
swung and sung.
Presently Bert exclaimed: ut beats

The next morning Morton on his
way to his office stopped at a bird
store and purchased a canary.
Mrs. Morton, before keeping her ap-
pointment at the dressmaker's, went
to a bird dealers and purchased a
canary.
Bert, recollecting the empty bracx-
EFT, on his return from business
dropped in at department store and
purchased canary.
Marjory, by this time firmly believ-
ing that no family is complete without
bird, took her savings and purchased
a canary.
That ewing each member of the
family entered the dining room carry
ing bird cage. Then they all beheld
a canary in cage that was hanging
on the bracket. There was card
attached to the hook On it Dorothy
had written: II hope this bird will
