FACE DEATH TO AID WOUNDED
Surgeons, Ambulance Men and Nurses
Display Great Bravery In Work
on the Firing Line.

One Of the splendid pages of this
wars history will be written in letters
Of gold on the scroll of what physi-
clans, ambulance men and nurses have
done. Lieut.. Harold Peat, a Cana
dian who has seen two years Of serv-
Ice on the French front, told au-
diences in Indianapolis that 97h per
cent Of the wounded men are saved,
and many Of them are made so com.
pletely ut that they can return to the
firing line. 1t is not alone because Of
the perfection of surgery that this re-
suit Is possible. 1t is more because
of the bravery and the sacrifice of sur
geOns and their helpers.
In the early stages of the war, when
the dressing stations and the tempo
rary hospitals were farther removed
from the front, and out Of the range
of enemy guns, physicians observed
that large number of soldiers were
dying who, with immediate attention,
could have been saved. Many of them
bled to death before they reached the
dressing stations. There was only one
thing to be done. The surgeons and
their assistants, guided only by a sense
Of the high duty of their calling, did
that thing. They moved forward, es-
tablishing dressing stations in and i'm
mediately behind the lines and in some
Instances erecting their hospitals with
in range Of the enemy fire.

Successive Making Ions Inserting Seeding


peaches that would be a mixture of
many kinds. If this new variety has
larger fruit than its parents or is su-
periOr In some other way, 1t may or
may not have lost in point of vigOr.
Varieties often do lose some Of their
original power of resistance to cold
or disease at the time they become
more desirable ON account Of their
fruit. But whatever the tree may be,
If we want to grow other trees of ex-
actly the same kind we must do so
by budding.
Stone Fruits Budded.
Stone fruits, such as peaches,
plums, cherries, apricOts and nectar
ines are always budded. This is done
by transferring single bud from a
new twig to a young, OIte-year-Old
plant, usually Of the same species,
and causing 1t to grow. Peach seeds
are generally planted in the spring
and by the last of August the little
Seeding trees are ready for budding.
The nurseryman takes his buds from
the desired variety of tree, with each
bud bearing piece of bark perhaps
three-quarters Of an inch long; then
by making the proper cuts in the bark
of the Seeding, the bud can be in
serted next to the wood and tied
there, where. 1t will readily unite and
grow up and make tree. During that
same season the bud does nothing
but unite with the stock plant; but
the following spring, when growth be-
gins, the top of the Seeding tree is
cut off and thus the bud we have in
serted is forced to grow. The bud
readily grows into tree which the
first season will reach a height of three
or four feet. Such trees are then
ready to dig up and plant in the Or
chard.
The stone fruits are closely enough
related so that in some cases one may
be budded upon the other. Peaches

grown from seed, but the most impor-
tant commercial varieties like the FL
berta, Belle Of Georgia, Carman,
Champion, ETC., must be grown from
buds.
Budded trees are commonly thought
to be more tender than seedlings.
There is some ground for this belief,
but they are not weaker because they
have been budded. The budding itself
does not affect the vigor of a tree in
the least. Trees are never budded
Unless budding makes them more val
liable than seedlings. If they are
more valuable it is because they are
more highly improved than the seed
ltngs-that is Tin the case Of peaches),
the fruit is larger, juicier and of bet
ter flavor. However, it seems to be
a law of nature that when a plant or
animal Is improved greatly in one di-
rection there is corresponding loss
in another direction. Still some of
this loss may be imaginary.
New Varieties.
In the case of fruit trees, new forms
are constantly arising. Most of the
new varieties are chance seedlings.
If a large number Of seeds, espe-
cially from improved varieties, were
planted there might be found among
the entire lot one that was better
than any Of the parents. This might
be regarded as new variety. How
ever, in order to perpetuate this va
riety it would be necessary to resort
to budding, as the seeds, If planted,
would produce trees that would bear

FEW WOUNDS BY COLD STEEL
shrapneI and Shell Fragments Gauss
Greatest Trouble Owing to Greater
Danger Of Infection.

Much is said about the comparative
ly unimpOrtant part played by cold
steel In the present war. The follow
ing passage from the article on "Sur-
gerry, Military" in the New Interna-
tional Encyclopedia, would seem to In
dlcate that conditions had not changed
much in that respect since the Franco
Prussian war; also that the general
classes Of wounds remain essentially
the same.
"Shrapnel wounds are like those Of
the old round leaden musket balls, be-
cause Of their low velocity they are
more frequently lodged In wounds than
are rife bullets. Shell wounds, as a
class, are much less frequent, but far
more severe than shrapnel wounds.
Shell fragments cause complete de-
structiOn near the bursting point, but
effect less damage in more distant
zones. Both shrapnel and shell
wounds are usually infected, because
the missiles carry into the wounds
pieces Of clothing and other foreign
matter. The danger of infection is
much increased because of the greater
extent Of laceration. Wounds by bayo-
net, saber and lance occur so infre-
quently as to be Of minor interest. Dur
Ing the FrancO-Prussian war there
were only 600 wounds by cold steel
among $4,000 wounded. Grenades,
thrown by hand, rifle and trench NOR
tar, revival in late wars Of an earlier
practice, recently have been used to
a conspicuous extent in Flanders and
France. Their wounds differ In no
material particular from those Of shell
fragments and subterranean mines.n

will grow as readily upon plums as
they will upon peach roots, and, on
the other hand, plums grow quite read
lily upon peach seedlings. However,
neither will do well upon the cherry,
and the cherry will not grow upon
them successfully. Peaches and nee
tarines are easily interbudded. In
this connection it might be well to say
that the nectarine Is the result of q
strange variation In the type of a
peach, which occurred in the bud. Oc-
casiOnally nectarine will be found
growing upon peach tree. The nec-
tarine is nothing more than a perfect
ly smooth or fuZzless peach. A nee
tarine tree, on the other hand, may pos
Sibly bear peach. The seeds of nee
tarine trees, If planted, may produce
peach trees. Whenever a variation
in a peach tree occurs, such as to
produce a branch that bears nectar
ines, buds may be taken from such
branch and propagated and come true
to variety-that is, they can always
be depended upon to produce nectar
ines instead of peaches.
1t is thus seen that varieties always
come true from buds. 1t is perhaps
possible to graft or bud any plant
that is, an oak tree could possibly be
grated or budded upon another oak,
or an Usage orange readily budded or
grated upon another Usage orange.
The apple and the oak, and also the
apple and Usage orange are in no way
related, and hence one cannot be made
to grow upon the other.

(By W. L. HOWARD, Professor of Horti-
culture, University Of Missouri)
Every boy who has lived In the
country, and many from the cities and
towns, have heard folks talk about
some fruit trees as seedlings and 9TH
ers as budded or grated trees. The
boys know two distinguishing features
between seedlings and budded fruits.
They know that seedlings are dug up
from beneath old trees and transplant
ed to garden or orchard, and that the
budded trees are purchased from a
nursery. They also know, and this is
a very vivid memory, that the peaches
from the budded trees often ripened In
July, that they were nearly always
freestones, and that they were much
larger and finer looking than seedlings.
At this point most boys knowledge Of
difference between seedlings and bud
ded trees leaves off suddenly. Grownups
too often are apt to find themselves
equally in the dark.
There is nothing mysterious or even
difficult about the process Of budding
fruit trees. To many people the terms
"budded" or grated" are associated
with things that are mysterious. This
Is because the methods of budding and
grating are little understood by the
masses Of the people.
interchangeable Methods.
While the nurserymen commonly
bud certain trees and graft others,
these two methods Of propagation are
usually interchangeable. The nursery
man makes use of the one that is
cheapest and most convenient. AS a
rule, all the stone fruits (peaches,
plums, cherries, etc.) are always bud
ded. while apples and pears may be
budded if desired but generally are

The Christian Literature society in
Japan is probably the most closely
unlOnized Christian organization in
Japan. 1t published nearly 100000
pages of Christian literature last year.
Its executive secretary, Doctor Vain
wright, is man of unusual ability.
But the power it exerts and will ex-
ert, says the Christian Herald, rests
more upon the eagerness of the jap
anese for knowledge and the ability
of the Japanese people to read than
upon the union of more than score
