How to Use the Dope.
Will a small paddle dig out as
much as you want to cover wound
Of stock or limb on which the
craft gas has been inserted to a
thickness of 1-6 or is of an inch
thick; put little on the upper
surface if any. and the work Is
done.
The eye | spoke Of as being UNI
der the surface of the graft while
cutting and shaping same is a
very important factor in the
game. Now Of course this eye IS
turned out when the graft IS
thrust between the cambium and
the bark of stock, so have a lit
tie opening in wrapping o that
this eye may be able to shoot OF.
1t is necessary for camblum OF
both graft and stock to come OF
contact che with the other a.
some point before a union can
take place, and this is why 1t IS
so necessary to make nice
smooth cut in sloping the graft
to feather edge. Now the feath-
err edge or lowest part OF graft
is where the union first takes
place. so you see the necessity IT
not cutting the lowest part ex-
eept any little outer portion Of
back graft that might be ruffied
on being thrust in A strict ob-
servance of the above will insure
success instead of failure.
How to Wax the Cloth.
Melt pure wax Ono resin) as
soon as it is melted take it off the
fire, having previously torn the
elath into strips of one-half yard
and folded upon pieces as long as
your hand and about as wide; put
same in wax and press it down
with a forked stick until the wax
permeates the strips thoroughly )
then remove them from the wax
pot, lay these strips on a smooth
surfaced board and with another
board scrape off the wax, then
lay it aside; then take up the
strips while they are still hot and
shake out the folds and lay them
aside for use. Split the edges 81
to / inch wide and you are pre-
panied to tear them as you need it..
Now, Mr.. Reader, that you may
nat fall down on the job Of pecan
grating, l will add that when
yen remove the gratis from the
cold storage, transfer them to the
best ice-box you can make with
ice so arranged that you can
keep all the gratis cold and be
sure to keep your ice box, from
the sun. Take out no more than
you can use in a half-a-day. While
using them put gratis in box 70
suit and cover with a wet sack
folded several times. Cut your
CRAFTS to proper length before
you start to put them in. If You
are grating big trees try and in
sert CRAFTS to a large stock or
branch. Z
This section Of the country
from Thibodaux to Lafayette is
considered the greatest pecan Sec
ton Of the United States and it
could be made greater if only our
land owners would plant moro
trees. Every year our land own
ers should make it business to
set out from ten to twenty trees
and then have them grated at
the proper season and after that,
they would require no more att
kention. A half dozen trees will
prOdnce annually after they begin
hearing, sufficient money to pay
taxes and much pin money is
llss derived from the annual pc

places. in this country. In many

variety twenty cents. A
