closed night and day, but would give 

 the cuttings a little air about 9 a. m., 

 removing it entirely by 3 o'clock, at 

 the same time spraying everything over 

 and bottling up a brisk, moist heat. 

 The length of time that only a small 

 amount of air can be safely given va- 

 ries with the class of stock you may 

 be propagating. When the cuttings are 

 calloused nicely a safe plan is to air 

 them a little more freely. 



Fungus in the greenhouse will spread 

 rapidly if the ventilators are shut tight- 

 ly both day and night. Care should be 

 taken to use sand that is perfectly 

 clean. Sometimes a sand bank in woods 

 apparently will give clean sand, but it 

 really contains considerable humus. If 

 old sand is used it should be sterilized 

 by steam or boiling water. If the sand 

 is quite fine and inclined to become 

 scummy on the surface, it may be im- 

 proved by adding some fine charcoal or 

 even clean coal or coal ashes to it. 

 This will make it more porous.

D. J. Gallivan extended an invitation 

 to members to hold their annual picnic 

 on his farm at Smiths Ferry. The of- 

 fer was accepted, but the date depends 

 on the progress of the sweet corn, which 

 is an indispensable item on this oc- 

 casion.
