A PPLE grafting, nnllke budding, is f usually ierformed during the JCa. dormant period of growth. It Is accomplished by t-atvfully fitting a small dormant twig or scion of the variety we wish to propagate Into a cut la a stock or seedling tree wbicb we wish to change. There are several forms of grafting, but they dif fer more in method than fn results. Id fact, so far as the top of the tree Is concerned, the results are the same in !l cases whether we bud or graft Tbe object sought Is to change an undesir able or uncertain tree Into one whlcb ' we know will produce a variety whose fruit will possess certain desirable char acterlstics. Splice Grafting. Splice grafting Is a simple form and is used wben tbe stock and scion are ; very nearly the same size.

Some of tbe German experts on court ques tiona declare that she will rank only as a duchess, with the title of royal high Dess, while others assert that as Manuel has not recognized his deposition from tne throne of Portugal and retains the titles of king and majesty his consort will share this courtesy .title.

The selection of an orchard site is not governed by any arbitrary rule. It is unfortunate that some farms do not afford the best soils aud exposures for on hards Hut the owners of such suoniu not tfilow this fact to deter them from planting trees and caring for them afterward Some kinds of soils and surface pres entations are preferable to others, as they are better adapted to this fruit and reipiire less expense in prepara tion and in the after care and treat ment of the orchard The most intelli gent and experiemvd orchardists differ as to the best location and exposure of an orchard, some preferring a northern sin'. others an eastern, and yet others recommend a southern or even a western slope ns best It is tielieved that the advantages prepon derate In favor of a gentle eastern or northeastern slope, as orchards located on such sites suffer less in both soil and tree from the effects of beat and drought ' An on-hard with such an ex posure will maintain Its vigor and lon gevity lietter than if inclined to the west or southwest This is especially true in states south of the New Eng land croup, where the summers are long hot and dry and where It Is prob Hhle that the greatest Injury to trees res'iits from these causes But as before stated, all farms do not afford thee most favorable sites, especially near the home, which is tbe most de- J slrable location for the family orchard, i rini the planter will often be forced ! to forego such a location and take bis j chances where the natural conditions ! ire not favorable If possible tbe site should he elevated above Its lm- j , niisllate surrounding, thus civing a ' i free circulation of air. while such an elevation will also be of great aid in i guarding against late spring frosts, so 1 fatal to young fruit at the blooming ea.on , Soils.

In the physiologic treatment as used by Dr." Toel electrodes are in troduced into the nose connected with currents of five hundred thous and volts. These currents cause only a little warmth and a slight prick ling sensation, but they generate an enoniotis amount of ozone which kills the germs in the mucous mem brane. In those cases of catarrh where there is swelling and thicken ing of the mucous membrane Dr. Tod either shrinks this with the high voltage current or where the hones itself in the interior of the nose are atilicted he performs an electric operation with the low volt age current which peimits him to de stroy without the loss of any blood. and with none or scarcely any pain as much of the diseased mucous membrane as may he necessary to allow the patient to breathe prop erly through his nose again. In enlarged tonsils Dr. Toe removes the entire diseased without any loss of blood in minutes with the electric loop tion, or he attacks th spots in the tonsils with The A. J.

It gets to be a threadbare expla nation that osteopathy is not mas sage, and yet we have to make it over aud over, for many people hold to such an opinion.

All these operations are bloodless and cause very little pain. They are also free of the danger of blood poisoning as the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels are securely closed up by the very operation. In Asthma. Bronchitis and other Lung diseases Dr. Toel uses a cur rent of extremely high voltage which projects a stream of blue fire against the chest of the patient; hut this tire does not burn: the fire can he seen by the patient but he feels only a slight warmth. The current howev er penetrates entirely tnrougli tne chest and generates ozone in enor mous quantities. Any disease germs in its path are quickly destroyed and in addition the blood circulation in the lungs is improved and regu lated.
