GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
B '
Y W.H.YV`H I.
"Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty," The members of the Legis
lative Assembly are chosen to • re -
r present the general public and not
any part or class of it. As such, no-
thing but eternal vigilance will -pro-
tect their constituents. Just as "fire
rs a good servant bet a; bad master,"
so certain laws which look to be good
in theory are bad in practise. Take
the grants to roads, They look harm-
less but in practise they have led to
the orgy of expenditure of the last
few years. Take 'the grants, of late
1 years, to schools, based on salaries.
All these grants are wrong because
I they come out of the pockets of those
who have nothing to say about the
expenditure. A county councillor ex-
' claimed last week in Essex county.

so, the Hon. Albert B. Fall, secretary

We wonder !tow it is that such dis-
astrous explosions occur in coal
mines. They used to occur up to the
early years of the 19th century, but in
1815 Sir Humphrey Davy had per-
, fected his invention of the safety
. lamp which bears his name, and
which has been well designated as one
of the most precious gifts which
Science has Bestowed upon mankind,
There is no doubt that the safety
tamp has prevented the loss of un-
told thousands of human lives, and
we cannot but wonder that it does
:tot continue to prevent the occur-
rence of such a catastrophe as that a
little while ago at Shanktawn, Penn-
Sylvania, in which from forty to
'iety melees ernehee; or that other
ane about the same time, in the State
.;f Illnois. which involved about the
We same loss of life. 'VS e have heard of
ruiners venturing to use open, un-
protected lamps, and some tines to
their own destruction. But one would
think the urine authorities would rig-
idly forbid this, if not for the sake of
the miners whom they no more value
than so many; flies, yet for the eake
of their valuable property.

The Work t est Done in the Spring.
Bridge grafting may be dune in the
spring just before or wheu sap be-
gins to flow, and coutiuued until the
teaves are half grown if the'selona
are dormant. Scions are made from
well grown healthy shoots of the
Oast season's growth, These should
be cut when completely dormant and
stored In damp sand or sawdust until
required for use. When ready 10

stratsllten the margins of the girdis
afterwhich all bits of loose or dead
bark should be scraped ole the ex-
posed area. The %dons' are prepared
by cutting both ends to a wedge
shape, the wedge being one -and -one-
half to two inches long witb the cut
surface on one side and a entail bit
of bark taken off the other silo at
tbo tip. There are various methods
et inserting the scions, but the
method described below will . give
very good results.
How the Grafting Is Performed.
Make a vortical slit about one -
and -one-quarter inches long In the
bark above and below the girdle. Tho
scion is then placed' In position by
raising tete bark slightly at the cor-
ners of this slit and shoving the
lower end of the scion under the bark
directly beneath the silt,: taking care
to place the cut surface of the scion
next to the wood, The upper dad of
the scion is then Inserted 1n the' bark
above in precisely the same manner,
and both ends faetened drolly In pont-
tion by driving a small Ouishing nail
about three-quarters of an inch long
through the wedge of rho scion into
the wood of the free. Scions may he
placed about two inches apart around
the olrcumferenee of the tree, and
when all have been 1neerted the stile
in the bark and the margins of the
girdle should be covered with melted
grafting wax. Apply the wax while
quite warni with at small paint bras:.
The wax should he kept loot enou5i1
to dew easlly, but not hot enough In
1njg.r'e the growing tisane. An oil
heater or a spirit lamp is satisfac-
tory for this purpose 1f a regular
grafting outfit is not available.---

of the 'wheat from c'haif badly needed
to discover the worth and worthiness
of the cause seeking elle aid. A county
grant should be free from purely local
interests, that should be maintained
by the people of the cotnmunity who
are advantaged by it, Because a grant
is made once is no valid reason why it
s'hould be perennial. Times change,
orders and organizations pass out of
