WHERE A SONG Is THE WORK

song.
In Zululand. Il is very different.
The songs OF the Zulus often are the
composite of the musical and the
lyrical art OF perhaps 90 or more
individuals. The reason is because
the Zulu who wishes 10 compose a
song goes about il ~ this way.
Some natural phenomenon ar
rests his mind. II may be famine,
a plague OF locusts. a pestilence that
sweeps half the tribe away. Or
perhaps a white man has come IN
visit the chief maybe a new rail-
road has pushed its rails into the
wilderness. Indeed, anything at all
may strike the fancy OF the Zulu
bard. To celebrate or TO bewail the
event, the dusky composer coatrives
an appropriate sentence or two. AS
he walks along he sings his song
soft and low.
on the trail he meets a friend
They stop and chat and the com
poser sings his song-so far as II
has been composed-to ask his
friends opinion. Perhaps the friend
doesn't like a phrase or a strain OF
the music. He usually has some
suggestion. and there by the side o.
the trail the friends squat and sins
and work over the song. Another

goes-the song changing and grow
Ing and becoming more nearly com
plete with each rehearsal.
Each Zulu tribe and every chief
have songs of their own, composed
IN this way. At marriages and other
public ceremonies these songs are
sung. The original inspiration may
not now be recognizable. so great
may have been the changes. For
with each repetition by each new
singer the song is slightly changed,
This is how Zulu songs become the
property Of the tribe. and why they
always are the work" Of many
composers. many iyricists and many
singers. And this is the reason the
songs are so dear to the Zulu heart
Everyone who hears a song may
have added something to it TO make
what II is-refection Of the tribel
life and hopes.

What a IattIc DAILY Care viii do to


Keep Your Wardrobe Fine.
How few persons realize the neces-
sity OF keeping up their wardrobes
Is apparent by the number OF semi
shabby people we meet in a days
travel.
One woman expresses the fact IN
this way: Il live with a brushbroom
In one hand and a shoebrush in the
other. and even then I don't always
feel wellgroomed."
1t is appalling. also. how few par
ents impress upon their CROWN 3

thought about brushing his straw
hat.
This is but one instance of what
care will do. If every man and wo-
man would have the heels Of their

the shoes polished according to their
needs, the shoes would last twice as

slrable sorts, rather than to attempt
to transform mature trees into 9TH
er varieties either through budding or
grating.
Grating of practically all styles
adapted to the transformation of ma
ture trees must be carried on while
the trees are in their resting or dor
mant condition, and while the scions
to be used in grating are In the same
condition. On the other hand, budding
is in the main done during the period
Of active growth, while the bark Of

say, In condition to "slip.'
Operations of budding and grating
are not especially difficult. They re-
quire attention to special details and
those who have had experience in the
work can accomplish more than the
novice will be able to when he first
undertakes the operation.
When the operation Is properly per-
formed, and the condition of the stock
and the scion are satisfactory, good
budder will secure 90 per cent of a
stand in his work in citrus trees, also
in certain species of deciduous trees,
such as peaches, apples, pears and
plums in the nursery row. In fact, it
Is usually considered easier to secure
'stand" of buds or scions on nursery
stock than upon more mature plant
ings.
Those having trees which are not
producing satisfactory varieties, and
those having Seeding trees which are
of no value because of the inferiOrity
of the fruit can, by budding or graft
ing these individuals with scions or
buds of desirable varieties, make them
productive units in the home fruit

Prepared by the United States Depart

AS competition in the fruit industry
becomes more intensive it Is neces-
sary that growers give more heed to
the choice of varieties of fruit in
their orchards. especially adapted to
soil and climatic conditions, as well
as to market requirements. AS It re-
quires several years to establish and
bring an orchard up to the age of pro-
duction 1t is not always possible to
anticipate the requirements of the mar
ket at the time Of planting the orchard.
and 1t therefore becomes desirable in
some Instances to change the trees
which have been planted from one va
riety to another better suited to the
market or home requirements.
Besides the question of suitability
of the variety to the needs of the
mnrket it has been found with citrus
fruits that there are strains Of 9th.
erwise good varieties which do not
produce paying crops. When trees of
such strains are found In the orchards
in any considerable number the pro.
ductiOn of the orchard Is reduced in
quantity as well as quality. This
makes such areas less profitable than
they otherwise would be IL the un.
productive trees could be replaced by
those which bear abundantly.
There are different methods of ac.
complishng this result. The impor-
tant thing, however. is to determine

In pear, apple or plum trees of ma
ture size the changing of the top from
one variety to another Is, as a rule,
most satisfactorily accomplished by
grafting by the method known as
cleft-grafting. On younger trees the
same thing can be accomplished either
by whip grating or by budding. With
peaches, however. 1t Is generally more
satisfactory to replace the undesirable
