You’d never have to say that, if 
you had taken out an Accident- 
Health-Life Policy in this 46-year 
old Insurance Company. White 
you were laid up we would be pay¬ 
ing you (SI.00 or more each day). 
If you died your widow would get 
SI,000. 
In some companies, it might cost 
you (on an average) nearly $30.00 
for the accident and health insur¬ 
ance alone, and about $30.00 more 
for a SI,000 life policy. Butin the 
Niagara Accident-Health-Life Pol- 
’ icy, you can get all f/ire« features for’ 
about $30.00 a year, if you are about 
35 years old—or slightly more if 
you are older—or less if you are 
younger. Of course, if you want 
more than $1.00 per day, or more 
than SI ,000 life policy, the cost will 
be greater.

Propagating California Privet. 
A YEAR ago information was given 
concerning handling California 
privet trimmings; to cut them, 
strip leaves off and bury them top end 
down, leaving butts exposed. 1 have them 
buried; do 1 trim off exposed parts on 
setting or not? Twice 1 have failed by 
sticking them down, one time by heeling 
them butts down, leaves on; next time 
by sticking them out in Fall. I took an 
iron poker and stick them down about 
18 or 20 inches in the ground. Now I 
have them heeled top down according to 
The It. N.-Y.’s instructions, c. w. ». 
Linden Heights, Ohio. 
California privet is one of the easiest 
of all the shrubs to propagate from cut¬ 
tings. Many millions are propagated in 
this way in the United States every 
year. The cuttings are made in Winter 
from wood of the previous season’s 
growth, from which the leaves are re¬ 
moved. The cuttings are made of nearly 
uniform length, usually about eight 
inches long; these are tied up in bundles 
of 100 each, with tarred corn ties, 
branches of the basket willow, etc. The 
bundles of cuttings are then buried 
(sometimes with the tops down) in well- 
drained soil in the open, or stored in 
sand or partially decayed hard wood 
sawdust in a cool cellar until planting 
time in the Spring. Planting may begin 
as soon as the ground is in good worka¬ 
ble condition and continued as long as 
the cutting remains good, but the earlier 
they are planted the better, as the late 
plantings are sometimes severely injured 
by early drought. The soil should be 
reasonably fertile and be put in good 
tilth by deep plowing and thorough har¬ 
rowing. Where California privet Is 
propagated on a large scale, the ground 
is prepared for the reception of the cut¬ 
tings with a horse-power tool made for 
the purpose. This tool is made from 
ordinary plow beam and handles, and a 
thin but broad piece of steel beveled to 
an edge in front is attached to the beam. 
At this point a plow would be attached. 
This steel shank is run where the row 
is to be to a depth of six inches, the 
depth being regulated by an adjusting 
wheel attached to the front end of the 
beam. This tool opens a narrow crevice 
in the soil, into which the cuttings are 
placed with great rapidity, leaving one 
or two buds of the cuttings above ground. 
The soil is settled by the planters walk¬ 
ing astride the row, and with the feet 
close to the cuttings, moving the feet so 
that the footprints overlap each other on 
both sides of the row. Thus the soil Is 
settled sufficiently firm around the cut¬ 
tings as the planter proceeds. When a 
tool for opening the ground for the re¬ 
ception of the cuttings is not available, 
a garden spade is used to make the open¬ 
ings for the cuttings. The rows are 
usually three to 3 V 2 feet apart, and the 
cuttings three to four inches apart in 
the row. 
When only a few hundred are to be 
planted the making of the cuttings may 
he deferred until Spring, when the wood 
may be taken from the plants, made into 
cuttings and immediately planted in 
nursery rows. California privet will 
grow from cuttings made almost any¬ 
time before midsumer, if kept well 
watered. I have on numerous occasions 
used light and heavy branches of Cali¬ 
fornia privet for staking tall growing 
flowering plants, some of the stakes being 
three feet or more in length. On remov¬ 
ing them from the garden the following 
Fall or Spring frequently one-half or 
more of them would he well rooted, and 
had thrown out branches here and there, 
of five to seven inches in length. K.

T HE Nut Grower gives the following 
statement about, a record pecan tree: 
K. Powell, of Cairo, On., has a seed¬ 
ling pecan trei> 20 years old in his back¬ 
yard. While it is near his garden and is 
fertilized and has the soil about it 
broken once a year, it has received no 
special attention. Below is given the 
record of the tree for the last few years:

High Cost of Living 
Reduced by 
Bradley’s Fertilizers 
And an Industrious Boy 
“$700.00 from my crops raised on 
$158.00 worth of Bradley’s Fertil¬ 
izers”, wrote George McNabb of 
Washington County, Maine, who 
also stated: 
< ( 
My boy, 15 years of age, did most of the 
work while I worked in the mill all summer. 
We set between 6000 and 7000 cabbages, 
raised every head and sold them for not less 
than $400.00. Sold potatoes, turnips, cu¬ 
cumbers, beets, carrots, beans, squash and 
umpkins and my crops brought me about 
700 00. 
>) 
Mr. McNabb’s advice is; “Put the proper amount 
of Bradley’s Fertilizers under your crops, do not be 
afraid to work among them and the fertilizer will do 
the rest.” 
Whatever your acreage, make it work to full 
capacity by using
