Early December is a good time to make your grape and currant cuttings, says the department of horticulture of the Nebraska Experiment Station. The best grape cuttings include two or three buds and are from seven to twelve inches in length. Currants do best when cut from six to seven inches in length. The cuttings can be stored in the cellar in bundles, packed in sand. In this way they will callus so that roots will form readily when they are planted in the spring. There are so many investigations of the high prices of foodstuffs it gives the cusses an excuse to boast again. <■- 1 ■ ■ ss Attention Everybody A Big Saving on Every Purchase' To give everybody a chance and a fair deal we are going to give a ten per cent disceunt on every purchase from now until January 1, 1917.
