Toward the evil of the summer,.
the amateur flower grower often
wanders how the stock of geraniums
itt the flowerborder can be increased
acrd preserved by some other means
Iban�by taking up the old plants in
the autumn; the last named method
not having, perhaps, proved success-
ful in past seasons. • By starting fair-
ly early, toward the end of August,
before cold chilly nights appear, a
nice supply of young plants, more
especially of all kinds of geraniums
of the flowering kind, or those hav-
ing fragrant leaves, or even the
br.inze or silver leaved kinds, can be
had by starting cuttings or slips of
these plants, First of all obtain a
shallow box about three inches deep,
tenor twelve.inelles wide, and frOM
twelve to twenty -tour inches in
length; an empty paddle (fish) box
will do very well. It should have
some small holes bored through the
bottom for drainage. Pack this box
firmly with moist, clean, gritty sand;
sand that will make good atone mor-
tar will do. Then take the terminal
or top part of the young growth of
plants about four or aye inches in
length, each shoot or cutting having
from' four to six joints where leaves
are produced. Make the base of the
cutting just below one of these nodes
or leaf joints, making a clean cut
with a sharp knife fiat across. Cut
off some of the lower leaves, leaving
two or three leaves at the top. Cut
off all bloom budsand blossoms
where possible. Make a hole or drill
In the wet sand deep enough to set
fully the length of stem of cuttings
In the sand. Water them well once,
and keep the sand moist until cut-
tings are rooted, which should be in
five or six weeks' time. The box can
be set out of doors in partial shade
until the first week in September
when they can be taken into the
window. When cuttings have roots
about an inch in length dig them
carefully from the sane without in-
juring the roots and pot them singly
Into small 21a inch pots or set them
about two inches apart in well
drained shallow boxes in a soil made
up of one part sand, one part leaf
mould, and about six parts of light
loamy soil enriched with one part of
dry pulverized cow manure from the
pasture field. This last is one of the
best possible fertilizers for soil for
pot plants. Set the young plants in
the window in a temperature of 60
to 70 degrees Fahr. an ordinary
house temperature. Salvia, Aget a -
tum, Lady Washington Geraniums,
Fuchsias, Iresfne, Lobelia and many
other plants can be started from cut-
tings in this way.—The late *Wm.
Hunt, O. A, College, Guelph.

Is the autograpu album as prevalen
as it used to bei The writer does
not mingle much in company; but in
by -gone years it was continually
thrust before one by sweet young girls
for him to write in its some sentiment,
original or quoted, to which, of
course, his signature would be append-
ed.
One's thinking and composing pow-
ers would thus be as continually call-
ed into exercise as the albums were
continually put before him, and, to
tell the truth, one sometimes wishe,
that all the autograph albums were a.
the bottom of the Dead Sea.
However, they called forth a grea
deal of composition which served to
show the tas
te,
them
mentality
and the
scholarship, of the writers. There
wotild even be crude and rude at-
tempts at rhyme, which made ant
think of the "unlettered nurse," stem•
titoned by Gray in his immortal Elegy.
The literature of all countries and of
all ages from Homer to Mark Twain,
was laid under tribute. The wisdom of
Solomon, the wit of Shakespeare, the
majesty of Milton, the elegance of Ad
slison, and the humor of Artemus
Warl, all found place on these oft-
scanned pages.
When someone succeeded in evolv-
ing :a particularly happy thought, it
was eagerly seized upon and soon
was to be foufnd' in albums from one
• en'cFbf the country to tile other. For
instance, a poor tortured mortal, driv-
en to his wit's end, managed to say
very nicely that he supposed some-
thing oigrinal was expected from hitn,
'blit he was unable to supply it for
simple reason that in him there was
nothing 'original except sin. This was
,excrtttiatingly funny and consequent-
`.iy it had a very wide rum,
Sometimes the fair owner ofan al -
em would be described in such terms
of praise as would almost equal those
•that would ultimately, appear upon her
to nbstone: But not always as the fol •
lowing testifies: ---

The grass is green and so are you.

A National:Institution,
A jounral that for over fifty years
has grown in public, esteem until it
has acquired the largest number of
readers of any journal inthecountry
in which it is published -playwithout
exaggeration be said to have grown
into a national institution,
By the testrnony of its readers, by
the testimony of the press of Canada,
by the testimony of vast 'numbers of
the thinking population and by the ad-
mission of capable journalists and'
other onlookers in other countries,
The Family Herald of Montreal, bas-
ed on its enormous army, of readers,
on its indepet denee and on its devo-
tion to the welfare of the country, has
come to be regarded am one of the Na-
tional assets of, the Dominion.
For the year 1923 the publishers of
The,'Fanily Herald. and Weekly Star
promise their ',readers better value
than ever in the past, with more valu-
ed contributors and moreresources
in all departments. The plans involve
heavy outlay for new features,Iitit the
subscription price will remain at $2.00
per Year, the extra expenditure being
undertaken in absolute faith, upheld
by the confidence and practical co-
o•re-ation of more than half a million
readers-
The New Year has opened with.a
rush of subscriptions that has smash-
ed all previous records. Judging by
the stacks of subscription orders that
at tines have threatened to choke the
great Montreal Post Office, it would
appear that half of Canada had select-
ed The FamilyHerald and Weekly
Star as the hest all round jourma] for
1923.

Light Fall Pruning Is Safe.
Light pruning in fall is permis-
sible, but heavy pruning is dangerous
and likely to result in serious dam-
age from winter killing, especially if
the suoceeding winter Is severe. The
injury is caused by drying out of the
cut area and may be prevented by
covering all wounds of any size with
a good covering of paint made from
pure lead and oil. De not use pre-
pared paints, as these contain injur-
ious' benzine or turpentine dryers, To
make an effective covering it will be
necessary to give not less than two
coats, beeause one coat will not pre-
vent checking and drying of green
'wood. Coal tar makes an excellent
wound covering and is easily applied.
This matter of covering wounds
made in fall or early winter is fre-
quently slighted by orchard men,
but the writer has seen such serious
damage result from neglect of this
precaution that he feels Justified in
warning fruit growers with regard to
the practice. In experimental trials
in the College apple orchard, varie-
ties so hardy as. Duchess of Olden-
burg, Wolf River, Snow and Scott's
Winter have suffered very serious In-
jury following November pruning
with the cuts left, unprotected. The
wounds dry out around the edges
and by spring the dead area is great-
ly enlarged,' frequently • extending
down the trunk or branch for a font
or more. The dead bark comes away
later leaving a large dead area, detri-
mental to the parts aboveandcer-
tain also t0 decay later.
It is not likely that injury would
follow the cutting of branches below
an inch in size unless many were
removed and there probably would
be no necessity for, covering such
wounds, All above this size, how
erer,should be theroushly protected;
