WA\ NV - WHIP-GRAFTING APPLE TREES ' Operation May Be Performed. Any, # Time During' Winter. Months—Se- | cure Strong Seedlings. Ou practically every farm there are warieties o,t apples or chance seed- b}ngs that 'thie owner wishes to prop- iagate. ~ Oftentimes the varleties are nknown, and for that reason extra krees cannot be ordered. : .. Whip or tongue grafting can be hone any time during the winter lflwnths. the earlier the better. All ,k,lut 18 necessary is to secure strong ome-year-old seedlings for stocks, and |good vigorous Wood of the previous . season’s growth for scions. .' The seedlings ‘should be cut off at the crown. When the roots are of ¥ clent length, they may be divided, thus making what is commonly known “piece root grafts” which are in- ariably inferior to grafts that are made on the entire root. The scion d be from three tp four Inches in Jength and should contain from two o four buds. The secret of successful grafting Is {to bring the cambium of the stock ‘tand scion in direct contact. The cam- fum is found between the wood and , and is composed of living, active ells, which are in a state of division. . !Whip-Grafting Apple Trees—The Pre- pared Scion and Stock Before and After Being Joined and Tied. {Tmerefore, the novice must exercise ial care to bring the growing ftissue of the stock and scion in direct’ . scoatact. **.- o make--this graft;” cut--both the _wclon and stock diagonally across, the icut beilng one to one and one-half iinches in length, this being dependent upon the size of the material. In or- /ider to join them together, a vertical’ «left is then made in both stock and wcion, and the two are joined by push- iing the tongue of one into the cleft of the other. ‘When made, the grafts can be put out in the open field at once or ‘wrapped in moss or sand and kept in - a céllar where the tembernture is low. ; 1t the latter method be followed, the grafts should be transferred to the! of machinery. fleld in the spring-as soon as. the ground can be worked. Where only ‘a few are to be put out, dig the trench with a spade, and place the grafts up agaifist the vertical side. The upper bud should be at the surface of the grourd, ‘and “the grafts should be plantéd ten to twelve inches apart in rows that are at least three feet apart. GOOSEBERRIES AND CURRANTS When interplanted in Cherry ‘Orchard Bushes May Be Left for i Several Seasons. (Prepared by the United States Depart- X ment of Agriculture.) When interplanted in cherry or- chards gooseberries and currants may be left for several years, according to the growth of the orchard and the size of the byshes; and in apple and pear: orchard¢ they may be left somewhat longer, though the ground occupied should be restricted to one or two rows of bushes through the center of the space between the tree rows. Oth- ‘erwise, the bushes will be likely to in- terfere with the proper care of the trees. Ip “vineyards the currants and gooseberries are often made a part of the permanent plantation, but while they are commonly productive when so grown, the grapes are likely to be rather unproductive. ATTENTION TO BUSH FRUITS! Currant and Gooseberry Plantation Will Thrive for Many Years With Proper Care. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) If a currant or gooseberry planta- tion is properly cared for, at least eight to ten crops may be expected be- fore it becomes unprofitable because of its age. Productive fields over twenty years old are not uncommon §n some sections. Although the num- { at the first blast of sound. ber of years a plantation will continue in good bearing condition depends to some extent upon location and soil, the most important factor is the care wwhich it receives. The period of pro- quctiveness of both currant and goose- berry plants is longer in northern re- gions than toward the southern limits of thelr culture and longer on heavy jgofl than on sandy soll. Two East Indians Make Extraordi nary Claims, Naturally Some- what Hard to Prove. The dead can be brought to life. This remarkable claim has just been made by a woman doctor of Rangoon (Burma). ¥ 3 N ; She claims to have prepared certain remedies, which are to be taken in- ternally and applied externally for & week, at the end of which any dead person will revive!: As may be ex- pected, she keeps her remedies a se- cret and she will not disclose their ingredients to anybody, writes S. B. Banerjea of Calcutta. She further claims that the dead person, when revived, will have a new mind and better features. The treat- ment to be -<completely successful must be continued for a month or two. The Burmese doctor has created a sensation in the country. Some are scoffing at her, while others are urg- ing the authorities to test her claims. In this connection, I may state that some time ago a Hindu doctor made a similar claim and requested. me to secure a dead body for him. Now, no Hindu or. Mussulman. will allow any experiment to be made on the dead hody of a near and dead relative. Thelr religion forbids such experi- menting. Soon after the doctor had asked my help, a distinguished Hindu knight, whom I knew, dled. I was urged to sound his relatives. I did sound them, but my request was re- Jected. I approached certain doc- tors, but they all laughed at me and refused to help me. The Hindu doctor, I regret to say, will not disclose his mode of treat- ment. He will not charge anything. He ‘wants to be judged by his results. But who will care to help him? NOT ALWAYS PACIFIC PEOPLE Chinese Have Had Great Military Past, But Have Not Fostered the Fighting Spirit. Writing of the romance of military {nsignia, Col. Robert E. Wyllie doubt- less surprised some of his readers in the National Geographic Magazine when he informed them that the first military medal was probably awarded by a Chinese emperor, some 1,900 years ago. The statement falls pat with an article by Mr. T. L. Leo, a Chinese student of the history of his own country, published in Asia maga- zine, in which Mr. Leo looks back to Chihese military practice, in the early centuries of the Christian era, and shows how the treatise on the “Art of War,” written by the ancient Chinese military leader, Sun Wu, correspond- ed to the maxims of Frederick the | Great, which were in turn expressed by von Hindenburg. The military past of China is nowadays very generally overlooked, ‘and- the explanation ad- vanced by Mr. Leo 18 interesting at this period. The Chinese, he says, have never admired the.fighting spirit, but “on the contrary, have ever been condemning it; curbing it, and forec- ing it to lle dormant.” Sound and Light as Power. Starting, steering and stopping a model auto by blowing.an ordinary police whistle, an English scientist re- cently gave a striking demonstration of the possibilities of distant control The performance is the subject of an illustrated article in the Populsr Mechanics Magazine. The little electrically driven car, with its manikin passengers, started forward Another. note from the whistle turned it around and a third stopped it at its starting place. By blowing whistles of varying tones, a series of small electric lamps were selectively lighted. Controi by light rays was illustrated by the ringing of a gong connected to light sensitive cells, 'when the illu- minator of a hand lamp was thrown upon them, thereby reducing their electrical resistance. ' Jd. P. Paid No Attention. Jack Rowan is “some” boy. The neighbors all admit that. His orig- inal sayings and slang, repeated after hearing it from Incautious neighbors, are well known in his part of Thirty- seventh street. “Jack,” said his mother one day, “go across the street and get J. P.” —J. P. being his baby brother. Jack has reached the mature age of three and three-quarters, while J. P. has just got around the corner of two, Presently Jack came back without J. P, and- to his mother’s questions as to why he did not bring his broth- er, said: “I talked. with my mouth, and J. P. wouldn't pay any attention to me.”"—Indianapolis News. \ Pass the Word On. . “Read this to the man who cannot read English,” is the request of the Tappan Zee high school, Plermont, N. Y., at the beginning and close of the handbills calling attention to the night schools. The bill calls the atten- tion of the alien adult to the proper place where he can learn what is meant by lberty; his rights, privi- leges and duties; about his govern- ment and how to secure his citizen pa- pers. The school is open to both men and women. New Use for Old Tires. A Hutchinson motor tire dealer has half-soled his shoes with strips from s highly guaranteed tire in which he deals, figuring that if the tires are guaranteed good for 8,000 miles under a car weighing a ton the mileage un- der his own 140 pounds ought to be practically unlimited.—Kansas City Star. | E.

That’s human nature. But remember, in clothes-buying, the real basis for satisfaction, is to consider what you get, and not altogether what y ou pay. i In other words, when you choose clothes, _compare values and not price figures. If you are sure of the quality in a garment, you’ll be willing to pay a fair price. Kuppenheimer Clothes will satisfy your demands for satisfaction, because in every detail they are made with your best inter- ests in mind. Good value is always a feature, but - particularly now, because our prices are based on purchase costs months ago, and not on prevailing high market prices. _— | BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS DR.
