LAYERING THE GRAPE.
A Method of Propagation Which
Muuy Horticulturist: Declare
to Be Without a Rival.
Layering is the simplest, surest and
easiest method of incrieasing the grape,
and is the best way to grow them where
but few [vines are wanted. There are
two kinds of layers, called spring and
summer layers, from the season at
which they are made.
_ Summer layers are made in the sum-
mer, generally the last of July, from a
branch of the same season’s growth.
They are likely to be weak for several
years, and do not make as good plants
as the spring layers. In making them,
the wood should be slit for an inch or
so near the buds that are covered. Bury

the rooted layer separated, making two
plants.
about one foot of the cane four inches
- Fig. 1 represents a. rooted layer.
deep in the ground and it. will be
:rooted by late autumn, when it should
the separated and treated as a young
Ivine; audit is generally best to get
them well started in Ii garden or nurs-
ery before planting in the vineyard per-
'1nanently.
Spring layers may be made by lay-
ing down any cane early in the spring.
It will root in one season. By fall it
will have made a good growth of roots,
when it may be cut from the main cane,
and if strong it may be divided into two
plants. This form- of layer. is illus-
trated in Figs. 1 and 2. By a little dif-
‘ferent treatment of the spring layer a
vine may be grown from each bud on
the layered‘ cane. For- this; purpose
some thrifty cane should be selected in
autumn, pruned of its laterals and
'buried. In (the spring it should be un-
covered and only one shoot permitted
to grow from each joint. After the new
growth has'started about six inches
Fig. 3, a. rooted layer. each bud making a
new pla t. .
from ezilh bud the'whole cane should
be layered about four inches deep,
handling it carefully so as not to break
the new growth.
Fig. 3 shows such a layer after it
has rooted. It is a good plan to cover
it not more than three inches at first,
and to fill up the trench as the shoots
grow. If covered four inches deep at
once the young growth will sometimes
,rot, thongh this seldom happens, and
some skillful growers fill the trench full
at once. In the autumn roots will be
found growing from each joint, and
these may be cut apart and treated as
recommended for weak vines grown
from cuttings. If this method of prop-
agation is to be used to some consider-
able extent vines should be grown es-
pecially formthepurpose. It is not a
good plan to use fruiting vines for lay—
ering to any great extent, though it
may beusafely done in a small way.—

BIRD—- DESTRUCTION.
A Growing Evil Against \Vhlcll the
Farmer- 01 the Country Should
Protect Emphatically.
Through the middle states and in
some parts of the south, amischievous
trade is carried on during the winter
and the early spring. It is the slaugh-
ter of insect-destroying birds, to be sold
as “rcedbirds” in the city markets.
,“Recdbird on toast” is a favorite dish
with the cpicures; but the epicures sel-
dom get the "reedbirds" they ‘order.
Authorities at. Washington declare
that hundreds of thousands of robins,
bluebirds, cedar-birds, shore lurks and
other insect-eating birds are killed for
this purpose every year. A single deal-
er in Washington received 5,000 robins
in one shipment from' North Carolina,
and sold them all as reedbirds. ‘
Not only is the traffic reprehensible
as a commercial fraud, but it is a direct
and very grave injury to farmers, whose
fruit trees, shrubs and crops would be
seriously injured, and in some cases
truined, if insectivorous birds (were ex-
terminated.
Through the work of the men of sci-
ence in the government departments at
Washington, our farmers are learning
the value of insect-destroying birds to
their fields and gardens. They are,
therefore, neglectful of their own inter-
ests if they do not protest against this
cruel and ruinoustratfic, not only in
the name of humanity, but because of
the imperative needs of agriculture.—

Big Income from Forests.
The forests are considered one of the
most valuable national possessions in
the old countries. In Bavaria the forest
area is about one-third of the total area
of the kingdom. One-third of this area
is owned by the government, which
has spent since 1830 about $8,000,000 in
acquiring forest land. A regular sys-
tem of forest culture is employed. The
yie'ldzper.:acre is generally large, valued
at about $1.92,. and the net incomé of_ the
'atate‘ amounting to about $4,000,000 per
i m. . '

BEAUTIFYING THE LAWN.
How to Construct a Rookery and
, Plant Bed That Is Sure to Pro-
duce a Good Effect.
The ordinary rocltery which one sees
on lawns is apt to be a heterogeneous
and rathé‘r uncouth mass of rock that
oftentimes injUTes the effect of i the
lawn, instead of beautifying it. The il-
lustration shows a combination of plant
bed and rockery which in the proper
situation will give a pleasing effect.
ORNAMENT FOR THE LAWN.
Cobble stones are laid up in a circular
we ll, in cement, thediameter of the well
being as one may choose. The height
should nOt be more than two feet. The
interior is filled with rich earth and the
edge, at the top is sodded, as suggested
in thecut, the sod coming out to the out-
side of the wall. such a situatiOn can
well be utilized. for strong-growing,
large-leaned plants, the largest sort be-
ing placed at the center. Such a bed
will need frequent watering, especially
if the season he dry.——Orange Judd
Farmer.
The Orchard and Garden.
The home orchard and fruit garden
should contain a sufficient number 0f
plants, vines and trees to grow an
abundance of fruit for family use. Be-
aginning with strawberries, currents,
gooseberries. grapes, cherries, quinces,
pears, plums. and apples, and a number
of varieties of each ripening in regular
succession so as to keep up aconstant
supply of good fruit the whole year. It
would be a matter of causing health and
pleasure if carried into practice—‘-
