monia in 25 gallons of water, and then
had let them stand 21 hours for their
buds to swell. The growing potatoes
were carefully cultivated and when dug
yielded 8,100 pounds of potatoes to the
aore.
Gnnarsx0WAX.--Many mei* are of•
fered for the maimise:nee of grafting
wax. A eatisfa0t0ry wine for outdoor use
is made by melting 5 parts resin and 2
parts beeswax ; to this is added to 2
parts linseed oil. For winter use in the
grafting room the same amount of resin
with less oil and beeswax makes a wax
more suitable for indoor application. A
liquid grafting wax is made by melting
together 1 pound white resin and 1 ounce
beef tallow ; to this, when removed from
the fire and partly cooled, 8 ounces of
alcohol is added, stirring in slowly. This
sbould be kept in closed cans to prevent
the alcohol evapnrating.
Are Exie1u31;siar. CstniUr Oncneun.—
The soil of the oherry orchard at the
Ottawa Experimental Farm is a light,
well drained sandy loam, having a stiff
sub soil, composed of gravel and clay.
The trees were planted twenty feet apart
each way. Thin inter spaces have been
crapped every year, except a space of
from four to six feet which was left on
each side of every row of trees. These
strips have been oeltivated annually up
to midsummer with a one•horse cultiva-
tor ; en occasional light boeiug after-
wards hes prevented weeds from going to
seed. The manuring has consiebed of
one application of barnyard manure in
1888, and a dressing of uuleaobed wood
ashes, est the rate of 125 buehele to the
core, in the spring of 1800, This treat -
went -has been productive of a healthy,
vigorous growth, and seems to have pro.
mored early fruitage. The first speoi-
meus of fruit wore picked in 1800. The
increase in quantity and variety lone been
rapid, 40 varieties having fruited the
past season, many of them yielding full
crops. Thus far the trees have been
entirely free from black knot.
Pieoreoa'rrox nr Bnonnre.—Cherries are
propagated for commercial purposes al-
most entirely by bedding. This consists
in transferring a single bud of the desired
variety to the stock or branch upon
which it is to grow. The operation is
usually performed during the month of
August whets (using a nurseryman's
phrase) "the bark slips." It is effected
by sliding a well ripened bud from a twig
of the growth of the same season, end
inserting it under the bark of the stools,
where it is securely tied. If the open.
atfon is sucoessfal ell the top above the
inserted bud is out off the following
spring. By robbing off and preventing
the formation of other wood the whole
growth of the stook if divested into this
channel. In this way trees of suitable
size for orchard planting ore produced in
two sea-ous. In the Western States,
where the snow fall is limited, same
against this
1
objections
have been nesse a
method of propagation on the ground of
the prevalence of root injury, to the more
or less, tender stooks. In mettle of
abn"dant snow fall, as in the Province of
Quebeo and Eastern Ontario, this ob-
jection dons not carry the same weight.
Bees never store It ,ney in *alight, be-
cause hooey so exposed :ventilates and is
useless t, the bees. It will be a surprise
to ninny to learn that, so vs a onrrespon•
dent of the London Horticultural Times,
after all, the most important function of
the bee's sting is not stinging. I have
long been convinced that the bees put the
finishilie touches on their artistic cell
work by the dexterous use of their stings,
and during this final finishing stage of
the process of honey making the bees in-
ject a minute portion of formic acid into
the honey. This is in reality the poison
of their sting. This formic acid gives
the ]coney its peculiar flavor and also
imparts to it its keeping qualities. The
sting is really 'an exgnisitely contrived
little trowel, with which the bee finishes
off and caps the delis when they are filled
brimful with honey. While doing this
the formic amid passes from the poison
bag, exudes, drop by drop, from the point
of the sting, and the beautiful work is
finished.

A NEP( YEAR'S fll:SOLYE.

1'sr the steelor..
Squire 11'TutTleton walked leisurely down
the etreet pufilttg a fragrant Havana.
The ognire was a devout lover of the weed
—one of those who pride themselves that
smoking with them is a luxury rather
than a habit and oan be stopped at any
moment. New Year's day had dawned
auspiciously for the squire ; the old your
bad proved an exceedingly profitable one
and the new one bid fair to be, so the
jovial justice was in an amiable frame of
mind as be went along nodding and Mutt -
ting to the passerby, with a good word
for everyone. Presently he met Dr.
Pbiddlegrease,
"A happy New Year, doctor," bawled
the squire, "and many fat cases for you!"
"The same to you responded the medi•
cal roan, "and many new suits on your
docket."
The s
qnire laughed heartily. "Well,
this is a glorious New Year's morning,
said he.
"Yes," assented the doctor, "splendid—
a first rate maiming for resolutions."
The squire shrugged his shoulders. "I
never took much stook in New Year's
resolutions—they don't amount 00 0 rote
Of pins."
"Well, S don't knew ; look at Charley
Paddlepool—sea what resolutions did for
hien."
"How's that 5"
"Why, three years ago he chewed to-
bacco incessantly, drank like a fish and
smoked all the time. Ile is now a total
abs+airier."
"Just so," interposed the squire, smil-
ingly.
You see he began by resolving to stop
ohewing on New Year's day. He went a
year without chewing. Then he resolved
not to drink, and went a year without
liquor. Leet year he concluded to quit
smoking, end he's completely cured of
the injurious habit. I tell you there's
nothing Like beginning the New Year with
resolves."
'.last so," repeated the squire, cynical-
ly ; "but anybody can do what Paddle•
pool did on New Year's or any other day.
Now look at me. I smoke from eight to
ten cigars every day, not because I am
addicted to it, but because I like to, and
oast stop at any time. Why, blase your
heart, its no trick to stop smoking."
The doctor looked wise and grinned.
"You think not 7"
"Certainly," said the squire, with con.
fidence ; "no trick at all 1"
The doctor's smile broadened. "Well,
squire, I'll tell yon what I'll do. i'11
wager you a snit of clothes that you can't
keep for one week a New Year's ree0lvs
to stop smoking.
"Agreed 1" exulaimed the equire, ex-
tending his hand, and, throwing away
his half-sinolsod cigar, he went down the
street whistling.
is the a -ening while, the doctor was
seated in his comfortable library the
squire woos ushered in. It way his cus-
tom to drop over oncasionaly to visit his
friend ottd dieettes social and bnsiness-

in vigorously chewing n toothpick.
He -
tuok a seat opposite the doctor. Pres-
ently the letter lit n cigar which the
squire eyed jealously but said nothing,
end soon the two were engaged in conver-
sation. After awhile the squire rose to
go and as he did so, still talking he took
a long tempting looking cigar from his
pocket. He 'molted of it approvingly and
then, as if recollecting, put it bees. The
squire continued talking attentively.
Pretty soon out canna the cigar again.
This time he bit the end off, rolled it
between his flame and placed it in his
mo't+b. He felt in lots prwket for a
match while the doctor with difficulty
refrained from laughing outright. As
the squire finished speaking be struck a
light and had taken but two puffs when
the situation dawned upon hint. The
cigar dropped from his lips. The doctor
was in is paroxy-m of mirth. Doctor,"
said the squire soberly, as be closed the
door behind him with a bang, "you'd
better step around in the morning and
get measured for that suit.

A thorough search was made, but in

one of the tramps had been arrested in
