THE PROPAGATION
OF PLANTS.
By L. C. CORBETT, Horticulturist, Due
rcau et Plant industry, United

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

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

practice frequently gives good results,
but spring cutting of scions for whip
grafting is not desirable.
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

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. When the operatiou
bus been performed the grafts are
packed away in moss, sawdust or sand
According to an Italian scientist a is that only one cutting can be made in a cool Cellar to remain until spring.

Its Meat When Cooked Tastes Like
Mashed potatoes and Milk.
One of the gifts of the eastern trop-
ics

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.

eral

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."

BEE NOTES.
Never let any grass grow around the
hives for a few feet on all sides. 'file
grass helps the troublesome lnsec•ts,
especially the ants.
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. It was
on the former suYierstition that the
story of the bishop of Hatto was
based and also, as some say, that of
the "Pied Piper of Hamelin."

The Rooks and the Seagulls.
A Dover correspondent reports a cu-
rious incident which was witnessed at
,farm at Elms Vale, on the confines
of the borough. A rt v or Seagulls fly
-'
ing inland has 1t1Jt0h poasesslon of A
71SwlJ gown field anrt� were pecking
away, when a s+.ili more numerous
flock of rooks 1;wooped down and at,
tacked the gulls. The rooks, being
about two to each gull, flapped and
rushed the gulfs until they withdrew
to a field some distance off. The vic-
torious rooks then proceeded to enjoy
themselves in the field, having first set
'what were apparently sentries along
the side of the field. It was amusing
to watch these sentries hustling away
any gull which strayed too near. It
has been noted by naturalists that this
setting of sentries is in accordance
with the habits of rooks.—London By-
stander.
The Drink That Was Called Robur.
About forty years ago there was ad-
vertised on London billboards a drink
called Robur, said to be good for every
ailment and, incidentally, the long
sought after elixir of life. One was
invited to send for free samples, and
its marvelous properties were the sub-
ject of everybody's conversation. Ito,
bur might have been sold to this day
bad not some one, without the fear of
a libel action before his eyes, divulged
its secret formula --cold tea enlivened
by rum. From that moment it fell as
rapidly as it had risen, for people
could make their own Robur if they
wanted it.—Obicago News.
