ia the best-knOvn Indian Of the Dei"'
ware tribe. But there was another
chief of the Lenni-Lenape who RANKS
as high, and part Of the honor que
him has been paid in a monument
erected in Fairmount park, Phiiaoe'-
phia, to Tedyuskung (Kekeuskuhs-
"The Healer").
About 1920 the Iroquois conquered
the Delawares, forced them to accept
the title of "women" and began sell.
Ing their lands on the Delaware anu
Susquehanna rivers to the colony VI
Pennsylvania. Finally the Lenh-he
nape settled on the Ohio. When the
struggle between the French and Eng
Ilsh conferred In the Ohio valley ID
1854 the Delawares felt that tney
were about to be driven from tnelr
last refuge. They rose In reDelAoi,
against both the Pennsylvanians ana
the Iroquois and attacked.
A council was called ut Easton, fa'
in July, 1850. Tedyuskung issued
Declaration of Independence. Inc
Delawares are no longer slaves OF the
Six Nations" he said. II, Tedyuskung'
have been appointed king Ser the
Five Nations. What do here will b
approved by all. This is good day
I wish that the same spirit that pos
sessed that good old man, william
Penn, the friend of the Indians. may
inspire you white men today"
For 50 years the Delaware chiei
had. borne the commonplace name OF
Honest john" but now he was hailed
as king Tedyuskung," and was sent
to give the "big peace halloo" to MS
tribe and invite them to larger con-
terence to be held later. He started
on this important errand, arrived al
Fort Allen and then he went on 8
drunken spree lasting for days.
The Iroquois derided his "declara'
ton" and sought to discredit him.
They failed, and from that time the
power Of the Iroquois over the Della
wares waned. He demonstrated his
ability in later councils. Although II
Is charged that the white councillors
tried to get him drunk every night, he
always appeared at council the next
morning able to cope with them.
He succeeded in getting the Della
wares wrongs adjusted and his inf1u'
ence brought about treaty Of peace
which prevented the French and Della
ware alliance. He had saved the Ohio
valley to the English. His death was
scarcely heroic. In the spring Of 176s
his house was set on fire during one
of his drunken debauches-probably
by some of his Iroquois enemies-ant
the old chief persisted in the flames.

Spring is the Time to Make
Final Preparations
For Grating
BY DR.. N. G. Merrill Hortcu'turist Utah Agricultural
College

onto the stock care should be taken to
see that the lower end of the cion is
attached on the stock and not allow
the cion to be placed upside down.
This precaution may sound superfluOus
to some and yet my experience with
a great many students has taught me
to be sure and caution them on this
point.
For the cleft graft branch Of the
tree is carefully sawed off at the de-
sired point for grating. With graft

ficiently wide to insert the cion sticks
whose lower ends have been cut TO
wedge shape, leaving the outer side Of
the wedged part somewhat wider than
the inner part. Two cions are usually
inserted on each limb over two inches
in diameter. This Is to double the
chances Of success for If both grow
the weaker one is cut out the next
year.
Now the most important part of the
operation pertains 10 the necessity of
having the cambium layer OF the cion
fit the cambium layer Of the stock.
The cambium layer is that tissue which
lies just between the bark and the
wood. 1t is the active region Of
growth OF the stem. If the cambium
layers of the stock and cion do not fit
it is useless to hope for success. How.
ever. If this phase of the work is care
fully watched, the CRATER can perform
his work with both hope and conf
dence. Years Of experience with stu
dents ding cleft grating for the first
time have shown that they ordinarily
have about 80 percent success.
The operation for the splice graft
is simple. A long sloping cut is made
on both the small stock twig and the
cion and they are joined together so
the cambium layers coincide. The
tongue graft is modified splice graft
where slight split is made on both
the cion and stock cut surface so that
on joining them together the union
will be somewhat more secure.
The final stage Of the operation is
binding the union and applying graft
ing wax. Grating wax is easily made
by melting together parts by weight
Of resin, 2 parts beeswax, and l part
rendered beef or mutton tallOw. After
the M 5lten condition has been reached
and after boiling for about one minute
the hot liquid mass is poured into a
bucket of cold water. AS soon as 1t
is cool enough to handle It is taken
out and pulled in the same fashion
as molusses candy. When it assumes
a light color it is ready for use. To
prevent it sticking to the hands it is
desirable to rub tallow over the hands
bef IRE handling the wax.
The wax If used to cover the cut
surfaces and cracks of the grated
parts to prevent drying out and the
entrance Of disease or decay. In cleft
grating it is not necessary to bind or
tie the parts for that is done when the
chisel is withdrawn and the parts of
the limb clamp together on the ciOn.
But in splice or tongue grating 1t is
necessary to bind the parts by waXed
cord or by raffia.

Fruit growers all over the West,
and particularly the owners Of the
smaIl orchards, are becoming increas-
lngly interested each year in the sub
ject Of top-working some Of their fruit
trees. Now Is the time for the final
stages Of preparation for this imp,rt-
ant work this spring.
The top-working Of trees Is simply
the grating into the tops Of fruit trees
Of another variety. Unless this variety
is better in many respects than the
variety already being produced by the
tree 1t would pf course not be worth
while to go to the trouble Of making
the change. All over the older settled
portions of the West there are count
less old fruit trees, especially in the
home orchards, which bear inferior
fruit Of very poor and almost worthless
varieties. At best In many cases they
are varieties that were deemed good
ut one time but which have now been
superseded in public favor by newer
and better varieties.
The tree to be grated should have
sound, healthy trunk and the lower
parts Of the main branches should be
vigorous and in good condition. 1t
does not pay to graft onto decaying
or unsound or diseased tree, at least
not II the trunk and lower parts Of the
branches are, affected.
The tree or part which receives the
graft is called the stock and the twig
or part which Is inserted Is called n
ciOn. Usually the cions are collected
the fall before the grating Is to be
done in the spring. AS matter of
fact, the c!ons can be obtained any
time after the wood has matured and
the leaves have failed in the fall and
before the buds begin to swell the next
spring, providing the cions on the trees
do not become injured by the cold
weather Of winter
In selecting and securing the clons
get them from trees Of known produc-
tiveness. If there are none Of the de-
sired varieties from which to select
cions In the neighborhOOd go to an
orchard where they may be obtained.
Select only the young wood that was
produced the past summer. 1t is usu-
ally more vigorous in the outer and
upper portions of the tree and this
should be used.
Cut these twigs into lengths of
about E1re foot, bunch and tie them In
to convenient bundles, and bury them
in moist sand in the cellar until graft
Ing time, which may be done at con-
venience after vigorous growth Of the
trees has commenced.
The most common and satisfactory
method Of grafting the. older trees is
by the cleft graft. This method Is
suitable for branches two inches and
over In size. A simple method of
grating the small twigs about the
same size as the cion w,Jod Is by the
splice or tongue graft. Whichever
method is used. the preparation of the
cions is the same. That is, they are
cut into lengths of about four inches
