Cuttings and Layering.

"In speaking of grating, then. Mr.
Burbank, would you call the young
scion cutting?" l asked.
Yes, it is a cutting taken from a
tree or plant, but instead of being
planted in the ground, 1t is really
planted in the tissues of another tree.
And the life giving sap of this tree
flows up into the scion or cutting,
which begins to grow" he replied.
I'm the case of a plant the cutting
is made much larger and buried in
the ground. except the topmost bud,
and receives it's nourishment from the
soil. 1t then begins TO grow and put
forth leaves.
"A cutting is really a piece or part
of the branch, stem, root or leaf of
a plant and will reproduce it exactly,
while seed contains within itself so
many inherited traits from many
crossings that it very rarely in the
case of fruit trees reproduces the
parent exactly.
There are two kinds of cuttings
hard wood and soft wood. The first
are taken from trees of woody plants
that lose their leaves during the Win
ter, while they are dormant. The
soft wood cuttings are taken from the
green growing wood of herbaceous
plants, and the wood should be ma
ture enough TO break when 1t Is bent.
What should be the length Of the
cuttings?" l inquired.
Even one bud on a cutting is capa.
bic of reproducing the plant. but sev.
eral buds are safer, and the hardwood
cuttings should be from six to eight
inches long for planting in the open
ground. For growing under glass they
need not be even half as long, but
both kinds should be planted two.
thirds below the surface and one-third
above Soft wood cuttings should be
about three inches in length.
Use a sharp knife in making the
cuttings; remove the lower leaves and
cut through the stem in a slanting
direction just below a bud or joint
Then plant in the open ground if in a
favorable locality or in a box filled
with clean, sharp sand, in rows one

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Gross y

This is a word which from early
childhood we use to describe i'll tenn
per or harshness or a disagreeable
mood. Yet there is no genealogical
derivation to be found to justify this
significance.
Our practice of calling a sulking or
an angry person Gross goes back to
the pictorial representation of a cross.
its two lines crossing or in opposition
to each other. 1t was this physical
disagreement of the horizontal and the
vertical line, no doubt, which inspired
the old expression or colloquialism,
don't cross him.
Crossing" some one meant an al
tercation. Hence the term cross" to
describe such a frame of mind.

halves, discard the seeds, scoop out
the pulp of two and squeeze the juice
from the other two. To the juice add
one heaping cupful of sugar and a.

to a boil. Stir in three scant table
spoonfuls of cornstarCh mixed with
one-third teaspoonful of salt and a lit
tie cold water, and when smoothly
thickened, draw to one side. cover and
cook very slowly for half an hour.

Tomato Preserves.

Take as many sound red or yellow
plum-shaped tomatoes as desired to
preserve and weigh them. Wash and
prick with a needle TO prevent their

pounds of sugar as of tomatoes over
them. Let them stand overnight

pursuit of this craft necessarily CON

word of encouragement to parents
who find such children problems al
most too much for them to handle.
Fortunately, the psychologists do not
stop with the assuring word, but they
point out a way of governing the
child and a method of teaching him
selfcontrol that every parent should
know.
When a child is too young to be
given reasons for his doing things or
refraininG from doing them as bid

viewpoint, and his mind thereby made

Agitation for discontinuance Of the

which contends that the compulsory
