Those who wish to do grafting later than is usual in the spring may find it interesting to try the following methods recommended in eastern farm journals, as they seem reasonable if not in common use : An exchange has a correspondent who says he has practiced a style of grafting not laid down in the books, and which can be done at any time during the growing season. It should be done in the spring as soon as the bark will peel freely from the stock. He uses scions of last year's wood, with two or three buds. These are cut all one side, with a sloping cut. Make an incision in the bark, exactly as in budding, insert the scion with the sloping cut so arranged as to ex actly hi on the wood under the sap bark, then wrap and tie well without using wax. It would seem reasonable to cover with paper for a week or so, in case the weather is warm to shield the work from the hot sun, or it might shrink the wood of the scion before it could take up nourishment from the stock. This is worth trying, as in many instances, trees have too high heads, and it is desirable to cause them to have lower limbs. It would seem reasonable that such grafting should be possible, and if so, now is the time to try it. He tloes not state the size of trees or limbs that can be grafted in this manner, and readers who are successful in making euch grafts will confer a public favor by giving the result of their experience. If done later, welhripened wood of the same year can be used, cutting off the leaves save a short stem. If one graft fails another can be put in. lhe buds remain dormant tho first year, usually. When done on trees to induce entire change, thev snouia not be headed back to the dor mant bud until the next spring. Thi is said to be more successful than cleft grafting in some parts of Illinois and can be done on wood too large for budding. Side grafting is described as cutting a notch, or slit, about an inch lone, in in Justice Humphrey's court for want the side of the stock and inserting a 1 tod school "and Church, i-.vaiigt-iii.im clergymen lay nest urn cm-aim a ioitccv Hie.

This is practical in case of scions received late in tho spring. The difficulty in working large stock will be to make tho scion fit well and to tie it on firmly. In all such work it would seem proper to use wood cut in au lumn and carefully kept in earth all winter. Such wood ought to erow wen 11 wen grafted any time in Aori Another way is to get scion and stock of nearly the same size, split the bark on the scion an inch and a quarter ud on each Bide, turn back the bark, cut on a little ot the end and makn a wedge to occupy the rest of the inch and a quarter. Then run the knife around and peel the bark an inch and a quarter on the stock and cut a slit for the wedge on the scion to ht into. 1 it the wedge into the slit and slip the bark peeled back from the scion over the wedge, tie it on close and wax it.

The result was that the cultivated portion resid tii drought perfectly and had dark green foliage, and is heavily laden witli Baldwins, Greenings and Golden Rus sets, in remarkable contrast with the other portion. In cultivating an old orchard which has been long in grass, it should be remembered that it mould be done while the trees are dormant, when breaking the roots will do little harm.

On nlH farmer in Indiana says he has tried it lor twenty years and alwava ban n decided benefits therefrom. Srm. times he has left strips in the wheat neiua that were not rolled, and invar- iuijr tuuuu me roiien wheat was mm tier and gave a better yield. He thought rolling added five bushels to the yield per acre. His olan wan tn do the rolling as soon as the ground ia iu conaiuon ana the soil dry enough not to stick to the roller. Farmers in Oregon have practiced rolling grain when it was growing well in the spring, but it has not become gener ally practiced. There is quite a dif ference in countries and climates. In the states where enow lies on all win ter and frost is leaving the giound continually, the need of rolling to re store the ground to a solid condition is plainly to be seen, but in the Pacific Northwest, and especially west of the Cascades, the action of continuous rains is much more felt than of frost, and the earth is very little thrown up by freezing. These conditions make it less necessary, probablr. in mil M harrow wheat in the spring, but it is safe to believe that good resulU will follow audi cultivation here in Ore gon.
