Managing wives and henpecked husbands are not uncommon in China, in spite of the subordinate position that women are aupposed to occupy in that country. A consider- able part of the humor of the Chi- nese is concerned with households where the woman is master; one popular story, quoted by a recent writer, is as follows: A district mag- istrate was sitting in his court, try- ing cases. When the chief clerk ap- pea and took his seat, the magia- trate saw that his face was full of scratches; so he asked him, “What have you done to your face?” ‘Yes- terday evening,”’ replied the man, ‘I was sitting under my vine trellis, en- joying the cool breeze, when al! at once a gust of wind overturned the trelfs, hich fell upon me and seratched*my face." But the magis- trate uid not believe the story. ‘‘Evi- ‘dently these are scratches of finger nails," tre “Tam sure that you had a quarrel with your wile, and were-seratched by her. Is it not so?” “Sir, you have. guessed right,”’ said the clerk, blushing. ‘Is your wife such a dangerous person?’ inquired the magistrate. “I shall avenge you by summoning your wife before my tribunal and giving her a good thrashing.” Just as he utterea those words his own wife came rushing in from the nextroof, and said, “Whom. are you going to 2" The magis- trate hurriedly sn to his atten- dants, “The sitting is. adjourned. Leave the hall quickly. My vine trellis may collapse at any moment!’ (Comepenres by Ontario Departinent ot ulture, Toronto. Toward the end of the summer, the amateur flower grower often wonders how the stock of geraniums and preserved by some other means than by taking up the old plants in the autumn; the last named method not having, perhaps, proved success- ful in past seasons. By starting fair- early, toward the end of August, before cold chilly nights appear, a nice supply of young plants, more especially of all kinds of geraniums of thd flowering kind, or those hav- ing fragrant leaves, or even the bronze or silver leaved|kinds, can be had by starting cuttings or slips of these plants. First of all obtain a shallow box about three inches deep, ten or twelve inches wide, and from twelve to twenty-four inches in length; an empty fiaddje (fish) box It .should have bottom for drainage. Pack this box firmly with moist, clean, gritty sand; sand that will make good stohe mor- tar will do. Then take the terminal or agp part of the young growth of plants about four or five inches in length, each shoot or cutting. having from four to six joints where leaves are produced. Make the base of the cutting just below one of these nodes or leaf joints, making a clean cut with a sharp knife flat across. Cut off some of/the lower leaves; leaving two or three leaves at the top. Cut off all bloom buds and blossoms where possible. Make a hole or drill in the wet sand deep enough to set fully the length of stent of cuttings in the sand. Water them well once, and keep the sand moist until cut- tings are rooted, which should be in five or six weeks’ time. The box can be set out of doors in partial shade until the first week in September when they can be taken into the window, When cuttings have roots about an inch in length dig them earefully from the sand without In- about two inches apart in - well drained shallow boxes in a soll made up of one part sand, one part leaf mould, and abont six parts of light loamy soil enfiched with one part of dry pulverized cow manure from the pasture field.

Light Fall Pruning Is Safe. Light pruning in fall is permis- sible, but heavy pruning is dangerous and likely to result in serious dam- age from Winter killing, especially if the succeeding winter is severe. The injury is caused by drying out of the cut area_and may be prévented by covering ‘All wounds of any size with a good cdvering of.paint made from pure lead and oil. Do net use pre- pared paints, as these contain injur- fous benzine or turpentine dryers. To make an effective covering it will be necessary to give not less than two coats, because one coat will not pre- vent: checking and drying of green | This matter of covering wounds | made in fall or early winter is fre- | quently slighted by orchard ‘men, but the writer has seen such ‘serious damage result from neglect of this precaution that he feels justified in warning fruit growers with regard to the practice.

The “wounds dry out around the eGges and by spring the dead area is great- ly enlarged, frequently extending down the trunk or branch for a foot or more.

It is not Hkely that injury would | follow the cutting of branches below jan inch in size unless many were i removed and there probably would be no necessity for covering such wounds. All above this size, how- ever, should be thoroughly protected. —J. W. Crow, O. A. College, Guelph. Barberry Hedge polled Ten Crops. Hundreds and hundreds of in- stances can be cited to show that the portant factor in the spread of rust {in northwest states. In a Govern- ment bulletin on rust and barberry, Dr. C. E. Stakman of Minnesota Uni- versity Farm relates the experience of a farmer at Crystal Bay, Lake Minnetonka, Minn., who had a bar- berry hedge of 635 bushes. He had tried to grow oats on his farm for ten years, but each year the black stem rust destroyed almost all the grain. Then one spring he destroyed lec hedge before the bushes had be- come rusted.
