SCIENCE OF BUDDING. Clip Thin Article and Study If Care fully UN Often n» You Get , tbe Time. Budding is the operation of setting • single bud, bearing little or no wood, upon the surface of the stock. It is the method most commonly em ployed in propagating fruit trees. There is no general rule of when to bud, but it can be done at any time when the buds of the new growth are sufficiently formed for setting and the bark on the stock will peel ©r slip easily. Early summer or June budding is practiced to a consider able extent by nurserymen on peach and plum trees, where they wish to obtain a growth from the bud the same season. New and valuable va | || | | | I IJr 112: It t• v! ca E: F T METHOD OK SETTING BUDS. rfeties are usually worked in this way. Among northern nurserymen ni*l fruit growers, budding is commonly practiced in July and August. Or chardists are taking up this sj T stem of propagation and using it in place of or in connection with top graft ing. If the buds fail to live the branches can be grafted the follow ing spring. The operation is more easily and quickly done than graft ing. The illustrations show clearly the different steps in the operation. A branch of the new growth with well developed buds is selected (a), the leaves cut off, leaving part of the. leaf stem a half-inch or more in length. This serves as a handle in Betting the bud. A sharp budding knii'e is used, having a rounded point If IL I T I j P BUDS AND BUDDING KNIFE. and an ivory tongue to raise the bark. The bud is cut (b) sc as to take off a thin strip of wood. A slit is made lengthwise in the bark of the stalk one and one-half inches long and a transverse cut at the top of this, as shown at c. The edges of the bark are peeled back and the bud slipped in as at d, being pushed down to the position shown at e. Strips of raffia are commonly used to tie it. The string is started be low the bud with a full turn and then placed above where another full turn is taken, when it is again passed below and tied, as shown at 112. The edges of the bark are tied down se curely over the bud. but not so tight as to stop circulation. The bud should be examined with in a week or two. By this time it will have become fast, if it does not fail to grow, and the raffia should be cut with a knife to allow for the growth of the stock. Unless this is done the rapidly growing branch will outgrow it and soon be spoiled. Nothing more needs to be done with the bud until the following spring, when the stock should be cut oil' with an oblique cut about one ineh above, and all buds on the stock should be rubbed off to aid the growth of the initial bud.—Orange Judd Farmer. Inferior Ilutter Injure* Trnde. Inferior butter lowers the price and inju res trade in that article. It would be considered an offense to inform the wives of some farmers that they do not know how to make good but ter; yet thousands of pounds of but ter reach the market that could be of a higher grade if the farmers and their wives were not prejudiced against "fancy farming." A silo, a pure-bred animal or improved meth ods of farming are regarded as inno vations, being forced on farmers only ofter more progressive neighbors leave the former methods behind and find profit in so doing. Calve* Xoed Gentle Care. The calf should be gently handled from the start. The future disposi tion of the co>v depends upon her treatment nher« young. To make a gentle milker the calf should never receive a blow or a harsh word, in order that it may have confidence in the attendants, and it will not there after be nervous. It is easier to break in a calf than to worry vritb • vicious kicking cow. TEE FARMER'S PAINT. Whltr Given the Ileal and Mt.*t llnr t luoniouu IJITITI 111 n Setting of (in'rn. Many of our readers may not be able to do t he painting of the home and out buildings that was contemplated last spring when the crops were planted. The drought will undoubtedly prevent much of the usual farm improvements, yet it is wise to study all phases of the subject and be prepared to do this work, which is intended to be dec orative as well as preservative, most effectively. How many farmers when riding through a section have noted which color of paint has best displayed the house and barn on the farm? Jf ihought is given the matter the;' will note that the dark colored paints at a distance give the appearance of no paint, or of much worn paint. On the other hand, observe the well-painted white house. It can be seen a long distance, is harmonious with its set ting of green and looks clean and thrifty. At least in our study of the painting of farm homes this has been our deduction that tlie "white house" is the one that should adorn the farm. Farmers may riot regard this feature in painting of importance, but if the home is ever put on the market for sale appearance will increase its money value, and the family will be more wholesome for the gratification of taste. A durable whitewash, which is said to embellish the east end of the presi dent's house at Washington and that is used by the government to whitewash lighthouses, can be effectively used on many buildings, is as follows: . Take half a bushel of unslaked lime. Slack it with boiling water. Cover during the process to keep in steam. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer. Then ad*l a peck of salt, pre viously dissolved in warm water; three pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste and stirred in while hot; half a pound of Spanish whiting and one pound of clean glue, previously dis solved by soaking in cold water and then by hanging over a slow fire in a small pot liunfr in a larger one filled with water. Add five gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir well and let it stand for a few days covered from dirt. It should be applied hot, for which purpose it can be kept in a kettle or portable furnace. A pint of this whitewash mixture, if properly applied, will cover one square yard. It is almost as serviceable as paint for wood, brick or stone, and is much cheaper than the cheapest paint. —liural World. ADULTERATED MILK. Sold in Ennrmoiii Qonnt It leu In I.nrge Cltiex in Spite of Itijgid I'nre Food I.aim. A New York justice, in fining some milk dealers for watering their milk, told tliem that if they came before him again and were convicted of the same offense he would send them to the penitentiary. It is asserted by the officials in charge of the enforcement of the laws against food adulteration that it is almost impossible to pivvent the watering of milk. So alarming have conditions become that the Med ical Society of the County of New York has appointed a committee to devise methods of improving the milk supply of New York city. Doubtless the doctors have found the bad milk one of the greatest obstacles in the way of the recovery of their patients and the thrift of children forced to live upon it. The above-mentioned commission has hit upon what it be lieves to be a practical scheme. It has selected a few dealers that are known to be above suspicion and has issued to them a label that may be used on each bottle of milk, certifying that the milk in the bottle is pure. By so do ing it is hoped the consumers will buy only of those dealers that have or may have the labels. By this yeans the rogues should be frozen out of busi ness.—Farmers' Review. A SERVICEABLE GATE. People Can Pas* Through It Ensily, Hut Cattle and ilomrn Can not Kind Entrunce. It frequently happens that much passing to and fro is done through cer tain fences where it is not desirable to have animals pass. In such cases the simple device shown in the accompany ing cut will be found to serve admir ably in the p'.aee of a gate or bars, and it is very easy to build. Having driven iu--' ~U HANDY LITTi.E GATE. the center post and constructed the two cross-arms (which should be about two by three inches and 2y s feet long) bore a three-quarter-inch hole in the top of the post and through the center of the cross-arms. Keam out the holn in cross-arms a kittle so that it will work easily. But it in position and drive a three-quarter-inch iron bolt into top of post. The head on the bolt wi.l keep the revolving cross arms in position. People can pass through easily, but cattle and horses cannot. —Ohio Farmer.
