NATURAL GRAFTING.
Same
Union of Two Tree of the
Specie Probable Cause.
A good illustration of the not uncom
mon phenomenon of the natural Join
ing of trees of the same species grow
ing near together; probably limbs
from each tree rubbed together many

years ago until the bark was partially
denuded and then grew together, the
union gradually enlarging until it be
came the broad, firm brace so well
shown in the cut. Much rarer is the
apparent grafting or union of trees of
diverse species, but this Is accomplish
ed, by one growing over Or around a
portion of the other and not toy a true
physiological union of the tissues. Thus
we have seen a hemlock and beech
joined together, but close inspection
showed that the beech had closed about
the hemlock limb that formerly grew
through a crotch in the former tree-
Rural New Yorker.
Work of Oxen.
We have known a man to buy a yoke
of three-year-old steers in the spring,
work them hard six days in the week,
giving them good hay and about four
marts of meal a day until October,
wfieii the work lessened and the grain
was iacrased. In November he sold
ttiem as beef for about $30 more than1
he. paid for them. If nurses had done
the same work they would have want
ed more grain and probably would
have been valued much less in the fall
than they cost in the spring.
It Is said that oxen might not
.work as well on the reaper or mowing
machine, but they might also. We
have had three or four year cattle thai;
would walk for miles as fast as any
pair of horses and force many horses
to trot a part of the way to keep up
with them and a pair of old cattle that
walked faster than the ordinary farm
horse. A part of that was due to their
having been trained to walk quickly,
and a part was due to the breed.
Small cattle like the Devohs, Jerseys
or Ayrshlres are naturally active and
easily learn to walk fast, while the
larger Durhams and Heref ords like to
move more, leisurely, and this Is "true
of grades as well as of thoroughbreds.
American Cultivator.
After Express Company.
The merchants of Durham are
preparing to go after the Southern
Express Company in this city
with a sharp stick.. They have
taken up the question of freight
rates 'charged by this company.
The recent rate law red uires the
express company to exhibit a
printedli8t of the various rates,
and the merchants have secured
a copy of all the rates and these
they will use in their stores and
be governed accordingly.
jThere is universal complaint
here among the merchants that
the express company charges
rates that are extortionate and
even double rates. Then there is
a second complaint that they
have all kinds of trouble in get-
ting settlements ior smpments
thatare lost." This has gone on
until the people are sore, and
justly so, and they propose to
take the matter up very vigorous
ly and see that there is one uni
form rate, Durham special to

In regard to selling'stock the South-

The man that has well fitted animals
for market 4oes not have to hunt for a
buyer. The buyer comes to him. The
man whose stock is in poor shape for
marketing has to hunt his buyer and
sell at a discount.
The demand for mutton is constantly

Keeplnsr Sweet Potatoea.
Unless you. live very far south it Is
not safe to hole up sweet potatoes In
the field. Better have a good cellar In
the barn out of ftach of frost. Line It
well with cement to keep out water.
Cover It over securely with a tight floor
that will not allow cold air to enter in
zero weather. If put away right In a
good cellar street potatoes should be

The Observer's correspondent
went to thebureau of immigra

steps had been taken in the mat

in the house of detention here a

bureau have thefoaatter under ad-

time there are no developments
that the bureau wishes to have
made public. Investigation are

IS A REASON FOR CHEWIBIG
SUM CURED TOBACCO
Chewers becoming tired of heavily
sweetened sun cured tobaccos caused
REYNOLDS' SUN CURED to quick
ly win from the old brands of much
longer standing the place as favorite with
sun cured chewers, because it contains
iust enough proper sweetening and fla
voring to preserve the quality of the leaf
and enhance its goodness, causing a large
increase in the demand for sun cured
tobaccos.
REYNOLDS'
SUM CUM
is not only pure sun cured, but it is made
from choice selections of the genuine sun
cured leaf grown where the best sun
cured tobacco grows. It is like that you
formerly got, costing from 60c. to $1.00
per pound, and is sold at 50c. per pound
in 5c. cuts; strictly 10c. plugs, and is the
best value in sun cured tobacco that can
be produced for chewers.
