Some little speculation has been in
evidence for the past few days, due
to the unearthing Of a stone founda-
ton where work is in progress for the
purpose of putting in the foundation
for the west wall of the new Purinton
building, and while it is possible that
there are people in the city who know
for what purpose the stones were plac-
ed there no one who has seen it thus
far has been able to give any informa-
ton regarding it. The stonework is
about IL feet down below the present
level OF Water street at that point and
is laid up roughly. 1t is believed by
some that the stones may have been
the foundation Of a carriage shop that
Hiram Clark had there many years
ago. the second floor of which build
ing was occupied by B. F. Morse as
paint shop, while others are Of the
opinion that the stones were placed
there as a retaining wall for the east
side of Water street, which was in
times gone by much lower than il is
at present.

dishes. add one-half teaspoonful OF
baking soda to each cupful Of pulp In
all recipes in which the pulp Is heat
ed. This removes whatever astrin.
gency there may be in the fruit and
does away with all risk Of a puckered
mouth. A number Of practical recipes
calling for the use OF persimmon pulp
are contained in the bulletin.
In the propagation OF the persim-
mon, certain precautions that are nee
essary in the case of the other fruits
should be observed. Seeds gathered
for propagatlng purposes should be
stratified at once. II they are allowed
to dry out it is often necessary to
soak them for two or three days before
they are planted, boiling water being
used for the purpose. The seed bed
in which the seedlings are grown
should be well drained with rather
light soil and a good supply of humus.
The ground should be deep plowed IN
order to permit the penetration OF the
long taproots which are characteristic
of the tree.
The roots of persimmon trees sprout
readily when the top is removed and
this accounts for the persistence at
times Of clumps of sprouts In fields
where they are not wanted. 1t also
enables small pieces Of roots six or
eight inches long to be used for propa'
eating. The ends of the roots should
be sealed with grating wax or pitch in
order to prevent decay, and the pieces
buried In sand through the winter. II
the moisture supply is plentiful they
will then grow readily the following
spring. Cuttings of branches may be
used in the same way as the root cut
tings.
In cases where is is desirable &c
graft, the operation is usually most
successful If 1t is put off until the trees
have definitely started into new
growth. 1t is also of the utmost i'm
portance that the cut surface of both
bark and wood be protected with as
little delay as possible from exposure
to the air. Grating wax, waxed cloth
or similar devices ere used to afford
the necessary protection. The various
methods of grating are discussed In
some detail in the new bulletin.
In addition to the value of the fruit
for household purposes, persimmon
wood Is used to a large extent by
manufacturers OF cotton mill supplies
who make bobbins from It. It Is also
used for shoe lasts. The live trees
are in considerable demand for shade
and ornamental purposes and n au
thority states that as a shade tree or
private grounds the persimmon com
pares favorably with any of the other
species in this country.
