I In bo line of poultry raising c
there be more prolt taa la the
handling of geese an4 ducks. They
lare Terj herd aaturslry, and adept
themselves to almost any condition
ff elhnate, and thua give large ad
vantage for thetr aucccaaful breed
lag over the ordinary farmyard fowls,
j A good place for keeping water
fowls is oftentimes not a good place
for keeping anything else in the way
W poultry. A creek bottom or the
ponds of a lake or artificial ponds
made for fish are well adapted for
.keeping ducks and geese. It Is true
that ducks and geete may be raised
where there is no water for them to
awim in, but this is the unnatural
method of raising these fowls, and
they do not do so well as where they
can satisfy their natural Inclinations
by a bath end a swim In pond or lske.
There is always a good demand in
the markets for the domestic water
fowl; choice young stock alwsys
bring good remunerative prices. Of
course, they are in a measure sea
sonable, aud this is no disadvantage
to the produce it gives you time to
breed and grow them. Ducks are
great egg producers and are profit
able in this way. They also have a
vahie in their feathers, which gives
them a threefold value, eggs, feath
ers and meat. The goose is a great
feather producer, and will always be
called upon to supply this product
to a greater or less extent.
'When properly prepared, it is as
tonishing how many ducks and geese
oan be kept on a few acres of land
with good water advantages. Of
course, there are drawbacks to this
business, if one permits them to
creep in, such as allowing loss by
wild animals that incline to harbor
about streams, mink, muskrats, etc.
These obstacles are to be found in
the poultry raising business, and
must be removed. In ao Una of live
stock business do you f nd a olesr,
open road to success. An ever watch
ful eye must be kept on the flock,
to see that enemies and diseaas are
warded off. and success will certain
ly follow intelligent, diligent efforts.

GRAFTISO APPLE TREES.

Grafting apple trees is something
that can be well described by Mil

In the spring when the sap begins
to flow, or a little before, is the
;ime to make unprofitable and unde
sirable apple trees over into good
nes. The necessities are, a sharp
jack knife, a pruning saw and a dish
f grafting wax. Hecelpts for mak
ing a good grafting wax hare no
loubt been given in the columns of
this paper before, so we will omit
that part. (To make grafting wax

ed pour into a pail of cold water.
When it becomes cool and partly
solid, grease the hands and pull the
wax like taffy. Eds.)
Trees may be grafted at almost
sny age. The grafts, see figure A,
are limbs of the last year's growth
on the new wood obtained from any
good apple tree cut above the orig
inal graft Suckers from the roots
won't do. They should have at least
two buds on each graft. The largest
end should be cut wedge-shape and
generally two grafts can be secured
from each cutting.
Figure B shows the end of a limb
split down at the top and how the
graft looks when In' position. Figure
C gives an idea how the limb ap
pears on the tree to be grafted and
also how the two grafts appear when
ready for the grafting wax. Three
such grafts on a tree at proper an
gles from each other, if well set,
would make a pretty good-looking
tree in two years' growth, so that
til of the old tree above the
grafted limbs may be removed.
Mr. Wiswell explains that the se
cret of successful grafting lies large
ly in having the inner bnrk of the
tree and graft come together so thst
the sap will flow from the tree to
the graft and also that the. wax is
put on In such n manner as to keep
out air and water from the splice or
Joint.
Two grafts are usually placed In
each limb, and should both lire the
poorer one may be pruned out while
the stronger one with three buds
will make a good stand. It is not
unusual to graft into a limb two
Inches across and sometimes the
main tree is cut off and two grafts
set in, but there is less danger of
failure when grafts are put into
limbs and the main tree or some of
its branches are left growing until
the results of the grafting are ascer
tained. In grafting seedlings the tree Is
eut off near the ground where the
graft is set, the loss of seedlings in
the nursery row being of little Im
portance compnred with a tree set in
an orchard.
Xote. The drawing was made from
an alder cutting, and while being
somewhat different in appearance

tame idea. E. F. Barry, in Ohio
Farmer.
HORTICULTURAL HINTS.
It Is safer to protect the trees than
to hunt rabbits. A lath or wire cloth
net about the trunk of the tree will
keep off rabbits and also prevent sun
scald. This is an opportune time to scrape
off the apple orchard and give It a coat
of whitewash or strong lye or both
giving the lye wsh first if you mean to
give both.
This is an excellent time to do a lit
tle practical forestry work. Go
through the timber and trim up the
down timber, then cut out the dead
trees and remove any live ones that
are interfering with the growth of
others. Farmers' Voice.
Crowlna Fruit on the rami.
There is no rcuson why every farm
er, rich or poor, should cut have all the
fruit , he wants, at little or no cost.
It takes, I am aware, business from
the nurseryman, but wo are working
for the benefit of the common, every
day farmer, who Is struggling for the
comforts of life, here and there, every
where about the country, and by graft
ing, budding and propagating vinos,
he can not only secure the comforts
and luxuries for his own family, but
sufficient ta provide others and reap a
