PROPAGATION OF FRUIT TREES
Operation Is Performed by Grating
and Buddlns-Some Winter and
Summer Varieties Given.

| (By GEORGE T. POWELL. Agricultural
Experts Association. Copyright, l9N)
Fruit trees are propagated by two
notwithstanding and budding. In
grating, the wood of the preceding
years growth is cut and made into
pieces containing three buds. These
are inserted into the roots of seeding
trees in winter or in the tops of young
trees which are cut off in the spring
and one or two gratis set in, which
will grow and make the future top of
the tree.
In budding. the bark of Seeding or
young tree is opened in July or Au-
gust sometimes in September, when
buds on the present years growth are
cut off and inserted, bound tightly
with raffia, when in few days the
bud unites with the branch in which
1t is inserted and the following spring
grows into n tree Of the same variety
as that Of the bud.
In future planting of orchards it II
important to know the bearing quail
ty of trees and whether they have
been propagated from good productive
stock. and as apples live for SO long a
period they should be well cared for.
In planting, buy two-year-old stock
and prune back the stocks one-half,
cutting back all roots one-fourth OF
their length. Little pruning should
be done for five years, except to cut
branches inclined to grow in wrong
directions. Some excellent varieties
for summer are Yellow Transparent,
Red Astrachan, Red June and Will
Jams Early; and for autumn. Duchess.
Gravenstein, Wealthy, Twenty Ounce
and Fall Pippin. For winter. Baldwin,
Rhode Island Greening. Northern Spy.
King, Mcintosh, Rome Beauty. Stay
mans Winesap, Pound Sweet, Bailey
Sweet. Wagner, Winter Banana, JON
athan, Delicious. and there are at least
fifty other good kinds.
For a market orchard plant not
more than three or four varieties.
For family use. plant one tree Of about
twelve varieties, and graft one-half OF
each tree with another good kind,
which gives "a choice varieties, cover
ing all seasons. Most varieties are
planted 40 feet apart each way and
those of spreading growth, like the
King or Greening, so feet. Filler trees
that do not grow large, as Yellow
Transparent. Duchess and Wagner.
are planted in between at 20 feet one
way only. These will begin bearing in
five years and, after several crops
have been taken Off, may be cut out.

GROW TREES IN SANDY SOIL
Results Given of Number Of interest

Experiment Station.

A number of experiments in tree
growing In various soils has led the
New Jersey experiment station to de-
wise the following formula by which, 1t
is said, trees can be made to grow in
barren sandy land even in beach
sand
First-Apply oyster shell lime at the
rate of two tons per acre, one and a
half ounce per square foot.
Second-Apply wood ashes at the
rate of half ton per acre. three
eighths OF an ounce per square foot.
Third-Apply the following fertiliz-
ing mixture at the rate of 1000 pounds
per acre, three.eighths OF an ounce
per square foot; 200 pounds tankage,
200 pounds ground fish, 300 pounds
ecid PHOSPHATE, 900 pounds muriate of
potash. In lieu of this. composted
manure may be used at the rate OF
ten tons per acre. The application OF
lime and wood ashes should be given
once In three or four years, but the
fertilizer mixture or composted manure
should be applied annually.

NOTHING could set forth more clear
IN ly the fashion in figures than the
coat of taifeta which Is shown In the
picture. The fiat chest. low bust. abb

styles. And the approval of those
who make styles into fashions, by

The figure, as managed In the new
modes, is straight UP and down, or
appears so, with curves only those
provided by drapery and placed to
suit the modiste. But in spite OF this
arbitrary draping and loose adjust

The production of great dramas was

he always liked to 'show off, when ho
was rehearsing a play. He was
in the habit OF sitting far back in
the darkened theater, and whenever
a stranger came in to see the re-
hearsal work he put himself in the
foreground by jumping to his feet
and bawling out the actors and act-y
resses. When he was putting on

Good Advice.

The poultry experts OF the depart.
ment of agriculture claim that it is ad-
visable to market the old hens in the
summer as soon as the second laying
season is over. as hens over two years
old rarely lay as many eggs as they do
in their pullet and yearling seasons.
Keep the nests clean; provide one
nest for every four hens; gather the
eggs twice daily; keep he eggs in a
cool. dry room or cellar. and market
them at least twice a week. Market
all cockerels except those intended for
breeding purposes. as soon as they
attain broiler size, for they will pay
a larger profit at this time than il held
until fall. when the market becomes
overcroxded.

This gives me bushels of turnips as

If there are any eggs from these

To make the work easier in the
garden, do everything in good time.
If possible, just before the time. Go

the worm one better. Destroy the
eggs of the bugs and worms. Catch

In the early spring, with the tender
green leaves starting on the grape
vines around the outside, and the
early vegetables sending up their ten
der shoots. the vacant ground is wait
ing, clean and rich and black for the
later planting.
AS the season advances the face of
the garden changes. The large, red
tomatoes glow among the green of
their foliage. The great, yellow sun
flowers bend their heads on, their
stalks, yellow peaches shine among
the branches of the peach trees, while
luscious purple and white grapes hang
in heavy punches from the vines along
the fence.

garden as some do. 1t seems to me
inappropriate. like wearing a silk
dress in the kitchen. Instead, | plant

vegetables and fruits.
There is another and practical side
Of this garden. Besides furnishing
most of the living through the sum-
mer for family of from eight to ten.
there is always surplus which is
sold for SIS to $50 during the sea-
son, and a great many vegetables are
put away for the winter.
Thus my garden lasts the year
around. and it is in reality thing OF
beauty and joy forever"
There is great deal of beauty even
in common things If they are properly
treated, as feel have proved in my
