Mrs. Sallie Shiver, who lives in the east- ern portion of this county, says an Al- bany, Ga., correspondent of the St. Louls Globe-Democrat, has 235 living children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. In addition to these, seventy-five of the old lady’s de- scendants are dead, making the total number 310. The two hundred and thirty- fifth link in the old lady’s lineage came last week, and is the cause of objection on her part on unique grounds. She as- serts that as she considers it her duty to visit each-relative once in two years, the ever extending . circle draws on her strength more than she can spare. Mrs. Shiver is in her ninetieth year, but enjoys remarkably good health. She can | walk several miles without fatigue. Her mind is clear, and the weight of nearly a hundred years has left little impress on | her erect carriage. She Is a perfect mine regarding local and State history, and is a great favorite as a raconteur. *The re- markable progeny for which Mrs. Shiver is responsible snrang from seven chil- dren. born to her and Manning Shiver, | who dled in 1865 at the age of 60 years. | The oldest child is 70 and the youngest 43. iFrom this stock has spread out in fan- like array the immense family, probably unrivaled in numbers in the South. Each | descendant having a family receives a | visit from Grandmother Shiver in regular | rotation. She completes the circuit once | in about two years, and makes but a short stop undeér each roof. Her coming Is always regarded as an event of great | importance, and each household takes a | vacation on the occasion of her visits. | —_—————— | One pound of flour of sulphur and one | gallon of linseed oil, boiled together until | they are thoroughly combined, forms a | g0od waterproof varnish for any textile | fabries. RAISING MORN ON SWEET POTATO VINES New freaks developed in plant life by J. W. Millls at the Experi- | periment Station at Pomona. . go to show that many of the The French have long been dexterous in the art of grafting, and, while a few useful plants have been gained in this way, the result, in the main, has been the production of oddities. Thus a sim- ple cottage garden in the suburbs of Paris often containstrees eachflowering in a half-dozen forms, widely different in appearance and perhaps bearing two or three varieties of edible fruits be- sides. The experiment stations of the Uni- versity of California have done some notable work in this line. In all successful attempts at graft- ing plants nearly related botanically have been selected. The potato has been grafted on the tomato, and vice versa, yielding when the potato plant was used as the root excellent edible produce, above ground and below. While this is not of much economic value In this country, because the labor of grafting is not compensated by the saving In acreage, it is occa- slonally practiced in small house-zar- den plats with gratifying results. f no more economic value is the most recent freak developed by J. W. Mills at the experiment station at Po- mona. A variety of sweet potato is made to bear moon flowers (large night blooming morning glorles) in great pro- fusion. 5 . While the vegetable-monger with his heart set on flithy lucre would hardly graft his plants for the esthetic joy which would thus be afforded, a town lot might have the fence adorned with morning glories for the delectation of the esthetic members of the family, without a suggestion of the homely utility served by the roots. Mr. Mills planted out his sweet pota- toes in the ordinary way, after having started them in a hot bed. When they were well rooted he inserted the bud, as shown by the accompanying illus- tration. Some of our people like the French and other Europeans find that they can crowd into a small orchard such as would be found in a suburban town'lot a far greater variety of fruit, by means of judicious grafting, than would other- wise be possible. In this way luscious pears are gath- ered from one limb of an apple tree; or, still better, from a pear grafted upon a quince stock producing a very small tree bearing an abundance of large fruit. Nature allows herself considerable freedom in her behavior in this regard, and refuses to reveal her reasons, even though learned men puzzle and scratch their scalps. For example, the pear- apple experiment will not work both ‘ways. Thus far no one has been able to reverse the order with very grati- fying results. It was attempted recently in a large pear orchard near Santa Rosa. Bellev- ing that apples would yleld better re- turns, the owner has grafted the trees. The occurrence is too recent to expect the testimony of practical results. If, SWEETPEA VINE GRAFTED AND GROWN ON A SWEET POTATO. The sweet potatoes are set out in the ordinary way. When they are well rooted the bud of a sweet pea, morning glory, or any proper desired vine is inserted, and if due care is taken the result will be a crop of flowers and Bweet potatoes. 2 (From a Pholograph.) both | INC GLORIES Experiments in the same line | however, he succeeds in making a | commercial success of his experiment, | it will be the first of its kind. Occasionally the agricultural depart- ment of the university is called upon to believe in some notable freak, as in a case a few years ago near Placerville. They were told that an old grape vine had been grafted with a rose, but scientific investigation showed the old | stump to be a gnarled and weather- | beaten 10se trunk. At another time a grape was report- ed as successfully grafted into a cac- tus, and it was represented that this combination would be of great value, as the arid lands could thus be used for vineyard: The Universi convinced men were not easily | that nature would deviate the fibers of closely allied species, and make a solitary exception of these two plants widely separated in the vegeta- | ble kingdom, but when letter after let- ter came averring it and ocular proof | followed in a_fine specimen of the | | Brapes they thought well to investi- | | gate. And the sight of a very interest- | ing phenomenon repaid them. A grape | plant had rooted itself in the cactusand | was receiving from it moisture and nourishment. Of course, it bore no | other interest than that of a curiosity, | cactus did, which would not be very long after the grape began its inroads. | INDIAN FIGS GRAFTED As a rule the nearer the plants stand related the more certain of success is the grafting experiment, but not al- ways. The Japanese plum does not graft well on our ordinary plum trees, but thrives on the peach. In the East it has even been found to suffer from the yellows and other diseases of the peach that the other plum trees escaped. Professor Wickson has at his home in Berkéley one piece grafted on a plum and one on.a peach stock, the latter having made ten times greater growth. The apricot will grow well on a peach or plum, but will invariably break off if grafted on an almond tree. It may live for a few years and bear fruit, but some day or some night a gale will be sure to break the bond. The gourd or melon family are very, susceptible to grafting. Cucumbers, muskmelons and water melons have \ ADVERTISEMENTS.

If at any time disease should at- tack the root or main stem of the mel- as the grape must die shortly after the | ons of market and the native gourds | should prove resistant, this fact would assume immediate importance. ONTO PRICKLY PEAR. Something very much like = ally did occur in the case of t‘l}llelsa:’lc;gk of the phylloxera upon the imported grape vines a few years ago, the native root being found more resistant to the destroying pest and large areas were replanted here. This made a demand for cuttings of the native grape, and Eu- rope beginning the importation of the same for service in the sections affect- ed by the insect, the owners of the pre- rlllzlgg“z;lm?:l worthless vines found ves € DOos: lnArequest. Possessors of property lady named Mrs. Theodosia B. Sheppard of Ventura county has made a reputation as a producer of many plants. She devotes much attention to cactl, and it is possible #hat she has made a suggestion that may assume commercial importance, viz.: grafting the so-called Indian fig, which is a cactus, upon the variety called prickly pear. Should this prove practicable a large industry would at once be opened. It appears to many who have investi- gated the subject that the Indian or | Barbara fig- gives promise of being the | right thing. It is considered a delicacy in Southern Europe, where it is dili- gently cultivated, and would, doubt- less, soon become a favorite here when people become familiar with it. ADVERTISEMENTS.
