METHODS OF BUDDING
Success of Operation Depends on
Proper Wrapping.
Special Care Should Be Exercised In
Wrapping to See That the Bud Is
Pressed Firmly Against Wood
of the Stock.
(By E. J. KRAUS.)

Two excellent methods for budding
walnut trees are given below:
The Hinge Bud-About one inch
above the surface of the soil make
a transverse incision about half an
inch long and a similar one about
three-fourths of an inch above this.
Connect the two with a longitudinal
incision. This forms the completed
Il" cut on the stock. 1t is very de-
sirable to use extra care in making
these cuts. The ideal condition is to
merely penetrate the bark just to the
wood, but not cut into it. The bud,
which is rectangular and of exactly
the same length as the distance be-
tween the two transverse cuts on the
stock, is removed from the bud stick
by first making two transverse cuts
Of the proper distance apart to give
the correct length to the bud, and then
connecting these by two longitudinal
cuts about half an inch apart. The
bud proper should be approximately
in the center of this piece. The bud
is then easily removed by gently in
sorting the back of the knife blade
under one corner of the piece of bark,
and prying up, when it will be found
that it will readily part from the bud

CARE FOR THE ROSES NOW
Attention Will Well Repay the Lover
of the Most Beautiful Flower
That Grows.

This month and the next Is good
time to root rose-cuttings. For the
tender teas, no trouble will be had If
they are either packed in wet sand,
several inches deep, leaving two Or
three joints above the sand and the
sand kept wet (not sloppy, with the
box set in the sunshine, laying pane
of glass over the top, or set in the
ground, glass jar turned down tight
ly over them, and the soil drawn up
about the sides.
The soil around the jar should be
kept moist, and the jar should be left
in place until next spring, If the slips
are put into the ground.
If rooted in sand, they will be ready
to transplant to pots in six weeks or
two months, sitting and packing sol!
about their little white rootlets.
They can be wintered in a cold
frame, or a pit. Hardy roses can be
slipped" the same, or started by lay

Toulous goslings grow bone very

they are very deceptive layers when

circumstances many pure strains of
them will not gather flesh and fat un-

any other variety; they are, therefore,
not so well adapted for early maturity,
and are seldom fit for the table before
Christmas, previous to which they

Roast Fowl.

Take an old hen, prepare and stuff
same as you would a chicken. Sew
it up securely and be careful and not
stuff it too full. Leave room for
stuffing to swell. Place in a large
kettle, pour in boiling water to the
heighth of two inches Throw in giz'
zard and heart). Put the cover on
tight and let it steam, not boil, for
two solid hours. At the end of the
first hour turn the fowl over and
add more water If necessary. When
ready for roasting place In the pan

over it and roast in slow oven tw"
hours, basting very often. In this
way you don't lose any of the juice
After it is roasted make your gravy

GEESE REQUIRE FREE RANGE
cIassed as Almost Non-Sittins Var
iety, They Are Goofi Layers
Goslings Grow Rapidly.

Geese need abundance of room, and,
in the case of breeding stock, access
to water. But there must be many
poultry keepers in rural districts who
have opportunities of breeding these
useful members Of our stock yards,
and a work like the present would be
incomplete did they find place in
it.
The Toulous goose may almost be
classed as non-sitting variety; they
are wonderfully good layers, though
rather late in starting, rarely in this

should they then show an inclination
to sit, which is generally slight, if at
all, it is not worth while risking eggs

is only a fair average for one healthy
goose to produce. Thirty goslings
reared from one goose in one season

three geese is another; but over-fed

stick. No wood should be removed
with the bud. and care should be taken
when the bud proper Is extra large to
avoid pulling the soft wood or core
out of it. 1t may be necessary in
such a case to first loosen the bark
containing the bud, on one side up
to the bud proper, then carefully cut
this soft core with knife and the
rest of the bud piece may be easily
removed. AS soon as the bud is re
moved from the bud stick is should
be inserted into the stock. This is
readily accomplished by first carefully
turning back the upper corners of the
az shaped cut, slightly prying them
away from the wood, then inserting
the base of the bud into the opening
pushing it down until the top and bot
torn OF the bud are flush with the
transverse cuts on the stock, and the
bud lies smoothly and snugly against
the latter. BY making the bud force
its own passage under the bark after
this manner there is much less eX-
posture to the air than if the sides OF
the cut are first turned back and the
bud then laid in place. The bud is
now ready for tying.
The Flute Bud--In this method OF
budding it is best to first shape the
bud and then cut the stock to fit i.
The bud, which is rectangular, about
three-fourths of an inch long, and five
eighths of an inch wide is made and
removed from the bud stick exactly
as in the Hinge Bud. When the cior
bud is in place, care must be taken
that the sides of the bud fit up snugl5
all around.
In either case, after the bud is IL
place the two are snugly wrapped,
Special care should be exercised in
the wrapping to see that the bud is
pressed firmly against the wood OF
the stock. Much Of the success of the
operation depends on proper wrapping.
In many cases there Is a prominent
elevation where the leak stalk has
become detached, and unless care is
used in pressing this down firmly in
the tying it will draw away and no
union will result When properly
tied, wrap the entire bud with waxed
cloth to keep out moisture and air,
and wax ali over. The following wax
Is recommended: Rosin, 5 pounds;
beeswax, 1 pound; finely pulverized
wood charcoal, II pound; raw linseed
oil, 1 gil. First melt the beeswax
and rosin, add the charcoal, stirring
constantly, and then add the oil.
Mould into cakes by pouring into
creased pans. When desiring to use

AXLE GREASE SAVES MONEY
Wheels of All Farm Vehicles Should
Be Carefully Examined to Avoid
Unnecessary Wearing.

When you hear the wheels of a
wagon or any kind of farm machinery
squeaking, be sure the squeaks cost
the owner money, because the axles
are being cut to pieces.
There is a great difference in axle
grease and the only way to know
which has the best adhesive qualities
is by actual test. Cheap grease is
generally dear.
Axle grease that quickly wears off
increases the friction, this pulls the
flesh off the team and flesh costs
money.
The wheels of all vehicles and ma
chinery should be carefully examined
often. 1t will not do to be caught
with dry wheels when away from
home or in the midst of busy day
in the harvest field.

VEGETABLES IN THE CELLAR
Nooss Are Ninesy Fer Cent. Water, 40
counting for Their Shrivellins
When Kept Warm.
By NJ. r. FRAZER.)


:, inere are two-one at the house,
Tue other at the barn, built on a side

roots are 80 per cent water, &C
counting for their shriveling when
kept in warm dry place. All mois-
lure evaporates, therefore the roots
Iose most of their fine feeding value,
but if ones cellar is moist and warm
then rot sets in.
Beet roots will stand a little frosty
spell without harm. We kept cabbage,
carrots, etc., in the house cellar for
convenience, being we'll sand-packed
in large boxes, the windows left open.
The air Is kept away as GOODNESS
prevents rot, sprouting and shriveling.
We found them fresh, crisp and tasty
in the spring.
The other part of this cellar was
cemented, of course, and we spread
some fruit on the floor, yet no earthly
taste was noticeable.
Apples kept well packed in layers,
ZONE distance apart and sand covered.
IESese in boxes were elevated trife
on bricks. Cne season we packed
apples in a barrel with oats between
the layers and those proved a success,
also.
AS cabbage needs much water a
supply was sprinkled over them, keep
ing them green, fresh and crisp.
The roots for our stock were uni
formly good, handy to feed.
Our barn cellar was on a side-hill
excavation into the high bank. 1t had
a cement wall several feet high and a
nice driveway on the upper side. The
roots were very easily unloaded by a
chute through convenient, removable
window, which furnished light as well.
One season we kept a quantity OF
roots and apples in a pit in the side
hill-about three feet deep. We spread
straw on the bottom, filled the pit to
the top and covered all with good
straw with dirt heaped over that, and
then board cover to protect the con-
tents from water. In February and
March they opened out with only a
few defective specimens.
