GRAFTING WILD FRUITS.
A Fine Field for the Exercise of Horticul
tural Skill.-
Persons living- in sections where wild
fruit trees and. .vines yet continue to
grow, undisturbed, in native vigtr, can
find exercise for their horticultural
skill and love of experiment, in graft
ing these wild stocks with improved
native and foreign varieties. Several
years ago my attention was attracted
to this subject by an article which ap
peared in the report of onr State Horti
cultural society, froan a correspondent
in Illinois, who said: "A farmer living
near here, having a woods pasture part
ly covered with wild crab and red haw
trees, some 15 or 0 years ago, grafted
the ral to appleTand the red haw tc
pear.. He grafted those limbs beyond
the reach of animals grazing in the
pasture, and now he has . apples and
pears iMibundanoe-every fruit year."
During the past year the writer made
a number of experiments in grafting
the wild fruits in this locality; begun
grafting the haw to the pear during
pleasant days in February, and con
tinued after intervals till the 10th ol
April. Those grafts set during Febru
ary did much better than those of later
dates. Scions were taken from Bartlett,
Idaho, Duchess and Kieffer trees.' A
much larger per cent, of the Kieffer
grafts grew than those of other varie
ties, and the growth was more vigorous.
We also set grafts of the pear into the
white thorn; but failed to get any tc
live. In -grafting the haw, it is best
to select young, vigorous trees, and- lo
cate the grafts well in the top of the
tree, so tbey will get the suul.ght aric
have room to develop. . In the early days
of March we grafted some wild plum
trees with the Japanese varieties Abun
dance aaid Burbank. The growth made
by the3e scions was very vigorous, and
they are now full of fruit buds.
.In grafting, use an abundance ol
grafting wax, and cover with a cotton
cloth boiled in oil or Wax. Aside froni
the curiosities whicih, can be produced
on lawns or in waste places, by trans
forming these wild stocks, by grafting
to improved varieties, some persons may
be so situated as to make it a source of
considerable profit. S. H. Van Trump,
in Journal of Agriculture.
PROPAGATING BENCH.
How to Start Plants Successfully to tlie

Almost every one tries to start a f en

from window to stove shelf at nig-ht to
Keep them from chilling-. The illustra
tion shows a way to avoid all this
trouble, and at the same time to grow
more and better plants. A box of any
size desired and about two feet in
height, is arranged according- to the
WINDOW PROPAGATING BENCH.
design showii herewith. An opening
is cut in one side at the bottom so that
a hand lamp can be set in. -This open
ing should have a hinged door. ' Above .
the lamp is stretched a piece of sheet
iron, while some distance above this
iron rods run from side to side across
the box, for the support of smaller boxes
of earth in which seeds are sown. A
tight wooden, cover can, be made to
shut down over the whole, to be opened
each morning-. A small opening- ismade
in the top of the lamp chamber and an
other in the bottom, to admit air and let
out any g-as f rem the lamp. The sheet
iron, should lit so closely that fumes
from the lamp may not get up to the
plant boxes. . A very small flame will
keep everything- very warm at nig-ht.
Set the box before the sunniest kitchen
window. Orange Judd Farmer.
Sbeep In the Orchard.
I have five acres that are partially cov
ered with, apple trees, some of which
are quite old. For several years no
crops have been raised on the land.
For a few weeks in the year it is used
for pasturing- cows, and during- a por
tion of the summer and fall sheep are
given the run of the field. They lie
under the shade of the trees a greater
part of the day, where a good share of
their droppings is left, which seem to be
a great benefit to the trees, and all
wormy and defective apples are quickly
eaten as soon as they fall. I now raiae
more and much better fruit, and believe
it will pay any farmer who has an apple
orchard to keep sheep. John Jackson,
in Michigan Fruit rower.
Germinating: Nats la Spring;.
The success of germinating nuts in
the spring depends upon the condition
of ripeness and the method of keeping
them during the winter. Nuts should
not allowed to become too dry before
burying"in sand. When gathered too
early the kernels shrivel up and have
but little germinating power, hence
they should not be gathered until the
kernel is full and plump. If there is
any danger of mice getting into the
boxes where they are buried during the
winter, wire netting should be nailed
over them. Wsetern Plowman.
Crowing Berries for Market.
Good gardens and poor farms never
keep company long. The growing of
berries for family use is easily done.
The growing of berries largely and sell
ing them in good market require con
siderable skill and a special business
tact. Only those who have good loca
tion, good market and a taste for the
business should attempt it. Many small
farmers so situated are making a suc
cess by commencing moderately and
increasing acreage from season to sea
son as experience warrants. - -.
It pays to grow berries on village
lots. A half acre lot would bring in
considerable money.
