As the tima will toon be here when
grafting is in order, we repeat our for
mer advice that everv farmer should do
hiS own grafting. It ia a very easy ope
ration, when once understood, and this ia
readily done by seeiDsj it cerformed. A
sharp pen kcife and a good saw are in
dispensable. Splitting the stalk so that
the bark shall not ba bruised, and shap
ing the 6caoa wedge Jashion both ways,
S a&lJJh "Si
stock and scion exactly together, so that
the sap can intermingle there is "no
danger or laiiure it properly waxed.
We make a ghoulder tp the : grattand
think it adds to the certainty of success,
thouch probably it weakens it. We
prefer also two eyes or buda to a graft,"
and would rather have only one than
more than two. One" year's wood should
alwrys be used when it can be obtained,
aa it is mere certain to take and grows
We -wish to remind those precaring
grafting wax, that we have found four
parts of resin, one part of beeswax, and
one part 01 beer tallow, to ba the best
nrooortions. melt them together m a
skillet (which is the best) or a tin cup,
and mix well, fit should remain in the
vessel and be use! as needed. Twenty
orthirty scions can be waxed with one
heating up. When much grafting is to
be done, a little fire for heating the wax
should be made on the spot between
two brick or stones.
We have seen various preparations for
making gratting wax, and beliefs wo
have tried them all.- but prefer our OTn.
Applying it warm or hot does no injury
to the graft. The object to attain pro
portion ia that the wax will not crack in
cool, dry weather, or run in warm weath
er. If. however, unon trial." difl?ent

can be arrei ; ; though affr using

or the consolatian .et the youag
hearts greived by parential mterlerenoe
in matter 01 mrtnaiony, we revive a
scrape of history. "Amassachusetts Fa
ritan, the Rev. Mr. Smith, had two
daughters, Mary and Abby -The elder
married: . and her Utaer preached a
wedding sermon from the text she chose.-
Mary hath chosen the better part, which
shall not be taken from her.' The
youngest daughter wished to marry, but
her father objected lor a year ors more,
dislikeing ber lover, young J ohn Adams.
YTheB he finally yielded, and asked bis
dangler to choose a text for the inevit
able sermon, she suggested-' John came.
neither eating bread nor drinking wine.
and yesay, "He hatha devib" The
jest caused -her father's consent to be
retracted, but she married nevertheless,
and becama thh wile of one president
of ther United States, and the mother of
another. It is by no mcan3 probable
that the young hearts greivee as afore
said will make their lovers presidents by
marrying them, but they can see that
even parental opposition may be mis
judged. ; - J ,
