NOME COURSE IN SCIENTIFIC AORICULTURE FIFTEENTH ARTICLE. THE PROPAGATION OF PLANTS. By L. C. CORBETT, Horticulturist, Due rcau et Plant industry, United States Department of Agriculture. Iei addition to using the natural cocoas of reiuexluetion of plants by seeds, bulbs, ete., man has do, velopcd several artificial ways, o1' which the principal are cuttings, layer- ing, grafting and budding. A cutting is a detached portion of a plant inserted in soil or in water for the purpose of producing a new plant. This method of propagation is consider- ed most important. The most common form of hardwood cuttings consists of a straight portion of a shoot or cane nearly uniform in size throughout and containing two or more buds. At the lower end it is usually cut off just be- low a bud, because roots develop most readily from the joints. At the top it is usually cut off some distance above ' the highest bud. A heei 1 enttng con- sists of the lower portion of a ;.,..""ch, COntahhiug two or more buds, cut tri7. iu such a manner as to •carry with it I a small portion of that branch forming the so called "heel." A mallet cutting is prndu'ed by severing the parent branch above and below a shoot, so as to leave a section of it on the base of the cutting. The priucipal advantage ti ersa sse 41 are now muitiplied by grafting or btk„ ding, A melon to a portion cut from a plant to bo lusorted upon another (or the sttwci plant, with the intention teat it Whuli grow, Except for herbaceous grafting wood for scions us should be tnkceu while In a dormant or resting cuutllt1on.

The stock is the phut or part of a plant upon which or into which the bud ur sclon is inserted. For best re- sults In grafting it is essential that the stock be in au active condition, Cleft grafting is particularly adapted to huge trees when for any reason it becomes necessary to change the va- riety. Branches too large to be work- ed by other methods can be cleft graft- ed. A branch oue or one and one-half lushes in diameter is severed with a Saw. tare should be taken that the bark be not loosened from any portion of the stub.

Whip grafting is almost universally ast'd iu root grafting. It bas the ad- vantage of being well adapted to small plants only 0110 or two years of age, and it can be clone indoors during the comparative leisure of winter. The graft is made by cutting the stock off dist*anally-0!ie long sntOQth cut with a sharp Luli'e ice fig atbout three-fourths of fin inch of cut surface. Pine the knife about one-tbird of the distance from the end of the cut sur- face tit right angles to the cut and split the stool: iu the direction of its long axis. Cut the lower end of the scion in like manner, and when the two parts are forced together the cut surfaces will fit neatly together, and 000 ill nearly cover the other if sciuu and stock are of the same size. A (lif- e rs°' +?„;` Terence may be disregar(ed unless it be too great. After the scion and stock have been locked together they should be wrapperl with fire or six turas of waxed cotton to hold the parts firmly together. It is in root grafting that tbe whip graft finds its distinctive field. The roots are dug and the scions are cut in the fall and stored. The work of grafting may be done during the winter mouths.

Its Meat When Cooked Tastes Like Mashed potatoes and Milk. One of the gifts of the eastern trop- ics h - p ics to the western is the breadfruit, which is now extensively planted in tbe West Indies. This can be done only by cuttings, as the cultivated va- riety develops no seeds. In the wild form the chestuutlike.seeds are eaten, but the pulp is disregarded. The tree 1s of moderate height, but spreads a broad crown of large, ragged edged, glossy leaves, making an excellent shade. The fruit, which is a compound of the massive clusters of blossoms, is about the size of a cocoanut and is in- cased in a rough rind. This, when baked in hot ember's or to nn oven, broken open and scooped out with a spoon, tastes like mashed potatoes and milk or like sweet bread, which It also resembles in appearance. it is a little fibrous toward the center, but else- where is quite smooth and "pudtiingy." Sometimes a curry or stew is made of it, and 1t goes well as a vegetable with meat or gravy. "With sugar, milk, butter or treacle,' Wallace wrote, "it is a delicious pudding, having a very slight but delicate and characteristic flavor, whlcb, like that of good bread and potatoes, one never gets tired of." it is also hlgbiy nutritious. 'l'be genus (artocarpus) contains sev- eral eweral species, one of which, the jack - fruit, is also cultivated for eating. The timber of the tree is also useful, the bark can be -prepared for a sort of cloth and the sap forms, when boiled with oil, 11 mucilaginous liquid very useful for making the seams of wood- en pails, canoes and the like water light.—Ilarper's Weekly, e EMERSON IN OLD AGE. Even His Failing Memory Could Not Mar His Amiability. In Dr. J. It. Elostner's "Tbe Last Leaf," there is a pathetic picture of Emerson in his old nze, when his mer -- ot•y had foiled while his other faculties remained strong: ' I bad ap a fellow guest a man who bad long been Intl- lltnte with him and whom he was very glad to see. Talking after tea in the library, Emerson said: 'I want to tell you about n friend in Germany. His name 1 cannot remember; and lie moved to and, iro uneasily in his effort to recon it. 'This friend with whom have taken tea tonight, whose name also I cannot remember'—bere again carne a distressed look at the failure of his faculty—'I cannot re- member his name either, but he can tell you of this German friend whose name 1 have also forgotten.' "It was a sorrow to see the breaking down of a great spirit and his agita- tion as he was conscious of his wan: ^' ing power. And yet, so fur as I could see, It was only the memory that was going. The intellectual strength was still apparent, and the amiability of hls spirit was perhaps even more man- ifest than in the years when be was in the full possession of himself. "This came out in little tbings. He was overanxious at the table lest the hnspitaltty should come short, troubled about the supply of butter and apple sauce, and soon after I saw him on his knees on the hearth taking care that the fire should catch the wood to abate the evening coolness that was gathering in the room."

The Italian bee has been improved by selection and careful bundling un- til we have some strains that are very gentle. No effort has been made to Improve the black or German bee. Bees never puncture sound fruit, but if the skin is broken by some other menus bees will often suck the fruit dry. in doing that, however, they are sticking fruit which is already dam- aged. Provide fresh water in a shallow dish near the hive. Put chips in the water and see that the water does not dry up. Elave snit where the bees can eas- ily find it and help themselves. This salt should be protected from the rain. Let the bees form your acquantance. Let them alight 071 you at will. Never attempt to brush them off. They will do you no harm as long as you are gen- tle, slow in movement and keep out of the line of flight. Never use perfume on the clothing that you wear near the hive. Ideas of the Soul. The old Egyptians thought the soul was a bird with a human face and hu- man hands, which, on the death of Lim in whom it dweit_on eartfi, flew to the gods, its kin. Drawings and sculptured figures show this little winged soul, sometimes represented as perched by the sarcophagus, touching the mummy, in a last farewell before it ase in heavenwardfli*ht Ainollg -ne ' ZireeA 1'ie'•oul was thought of as a tiny human figure. In Roman days the butterfly was taken as its symbol. In mediaeval pictures and reliefs we see it leaving the mouth vx the dead, either as a ch° �. . es a tiny naked man—ate example, Is shown iu t�.;r teatnpO Santo of Pisa in Orca- gua's fresco of the "Triumph of Death." In northern lands we learn from folklore the soul not seldom left the body as a mouse, or a snake.
