GRAFTING WAX.
A subscriber wishes to know the bt?i
method of making engrafting wax. As there
are a viriety of opinions as to what is tbe
best kind to use, we will give several recipes
which are recommended bv good authorities.
Baker ays: "Take one part tallow, one part
beeswax, and two parts resin. The tallow
and beeswax should be melted first, theu the
resin, and the whole poured together and well
stirred. After it is well mixed, it is poured in
imali quantities into a tub of cold water and
worked like molasses Cindy. No more
should he poused into the water at a time
thar. can be worked at once, a* it will cool
very quickly and require to be incited again.
It should be carried in a pot of hot. water and
the hand of the operator should be
smeared with some oily substance. For some
of the smaller grafts, use waxed paper. lor
this purpose strips of paper are floated in the
melted wax tor a momont, so as to only
moisten one side, and then be permitted to
cool."
Carder recommends "resin, four or five
parts: beeswax, one and a half to two parts:
linseed oil, one to two and one half parts.
This is made into a mass, to be applied by
the hand. A very pleasant aud neat mode of
using the wax, is to pour in when melted,
upon th.s muslin or strong paper, aud spread
it thin with a spatula: then cut into strips of
convenient size."
Thomas gives this: "Linseed oil, one pint:
resin, six pound?: beeswax, one pound; mel
ted together, to be applied warm with a brush
or to be put on paper or muslin, or worked
with wet bauds into a mass, and drawn out
into ribbons.'' — Prairie l'armer.
THE FARV.EU'S SHOP:— Every farmer shouid
have a shop fitted up with such tools as are
used by the carpenter, joiner, machinist and
blacksmith, or with those that would be
valuable in making repairs. Above ail, we
consider a good lathe very desirable. It
would be impossible within the limits ola
newspaper article to merely notice the ad
vantages of this machine and its varied uses.
A verv good foot lathe costs from sixty to
one hundred dollars, and the money is well
expended in the purchase. Articles of use,
and oruament made of wood, ivory and metal
may be turned out by tbe foot lathe con
venient for use in the house or on the farm.
The practice on the lathe is one of the most
fascinating pastimes for a stormy dav or an
unemployed evening. Apart from its use in
making aud repairing, the foot lathe is a
pleasant companion for the business haunted
and brain weary. One who adopts it as a
companion of his leisure hours will soon be
come an adept, aud tbe more be uses and be
comes acquainted with his machine the better
he will like it. He will be surprised at tbe
number and elegance of tbe little articles of
use and ornament he can produce from the
rouch material, and at the pleasure that the
practice of a mechanical art can afford. —

Ane COAL Asms Goon rem ANYTHSXO. —
Seeing the use of ashes strongly recomx.end
ed, many have tried the refuse of the grate
and coal stove with no flattering results.
Then they ask the question printed tn large
letters above. Yes. Coal ashes have some
value, but for general use much less than
wood ashes. In a general description that
answers the purpose of the farmer, the com
position of wood ashes may be said to be pot
ash, sandy matter and lime. In tbe ash elm,
hickory, and white oak, there is a good deal
of lime and potash. In the ash of pine wood
almost no lima and very little potash. Coal
ash gives sandy matter and a little lime. All
plants want some of that sandy matter, and it
is liberally supplied by most soils. The silex
in the ash of stone coal has this peculiarity, it
is so fine that the rain dissolves it easily and
feeds it liberally to plants in the early part of
the summer. Hence, coal ashes are of most
benefit ou crops or plants that grow very fast
in May and June and come to harvest early.
For cereals, and tubers that are harvested
late in the season, coal ash is not worth the
labor of carting and spreading. But on
grots, strawberries radishes and peas, coal
ash spred thin and wall raked in is a profita
ble application.— World.
COOD STOCK NEEDS GOOD LAND. —The
Agriculturist ha* always advocated the intro
duction of improved breed* of cattle, sheep,
and swine. We know ilia', a weil-bred animal
'.s vastly more profitable than common stock.
It is just as absurd for a farmer to keep stock
that shows no breeding as it is to use a poor
scythe instead of a mowing machine. We
avail ourselves of skill and thought in the one
case. Why not in the other ? We have cat
tie, and Eheep, and pigs, that are as superior
to common stock as the modern steel plow is
superior to a wooden stick, and for the same
reason—the thought that has been bestowed
upon them. But while this i* true, it should
never be forgotten that improved stock ne
cessitates an improved system of fanniug,—
the two must go together. We have prepared
our friends for the mowing machine. Let us
get our farms reedy for improved breeds of
stock. \\ e shall not attain the best results
until this is done.— American Agriculturist.
POTATO is ox SPRISG-TCBNED SOD. —A cor
respondent residing in Washington County,
Ohio, writes as follows: "After many years'
experience 1 prefer sod for potatoes, avoiding
heavy clays. Plow as early in April as she
ground is in order, harrow thoroughly and
plant in hills, cultivate thoroughly both ways
and often until they bloom, then quit. I ma
cure with coarse manure before plowing or
with fine after, and never fait." —We have
no doubt the practice is good, although to se
cure thorough rotting of the sod and destruc
tion of weeds, we advise plowing in August;
yet it depend* very much upon the kinds of
grass and weeds JO the soil, and upon the
mode of plowing and strength of the aoil.
DOES PIASTER LOSE ITS PROPERTIES BY
KEEFIXG ?—There is an opinion among far
mers that this is the case. We do not see
that any change can take place that will les
sen the value of the plaster gypsum as manure
and we should have no hesitation in drawing
the piaster during good sleighing in the win
ter, rather than wait until spring, when the
roads are bad. We know farmers who draw
ad their piaster in the winter, and find great
advan.sge in so doing. Keep it dry, and it
will be just as good as if obtained fresh from
the mill. American Agriculturist

The cable being laid, this Company
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means cf communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the comma
nications of the Government, of business, and of
social life, especially in China. She has no pos
tal system, and her only means now of communi
cating information is by couriers on land, and by
steamers on water.
The Western World knows that China as
very large conntry, in the main densely peopled;
but a few yet realize that she contains more than
a third of the human race. The latest returns
mode to her central authorities for taring purpo
ses by the local magistrates make ber population

licr civilization is peculiar, but her literatuie is
<is extorsive as that of Europe. China is a land
of teachers and traders; and the latter are ex
ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facility for procuring early information.
It is observed in California that the Chinese make
great ore of the telegraph, though it there trans
mits messages in English alone. To day great
numbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chinese
merchants, and used by them exclnsively for the
transmission of early iute ligence. If the tele
graph we propose, connecting all their great sea
porte, were now in existence, it is believed that
its business would pay the cost within the first
two years of its successful operation, and would
steadily increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as a greater de

people. It is of a vast national importance corn
mercially, politically, and ev angelically.

QT'R NEW FAMILY
SINGER SEWING MACHINE.
The superior merits of the "Singer" Machines
over all others, for sillier family use cr inana
facturing purpuses, are so well established and
generally admitted, that an enumeration of their
relative excellence is no longer considered v-:
essarj.
OUR NEW FAMILY MACHINE,
which ha® been brought to perfection regardless
of time, labor or expense, is nw confidently pre
sented to the public as incomparably
ITHE BEST SEWING MACHINE IN EX
ISTENCE.
The machine in question is
SIMPLE, COMPACT, DURABLE A BEAU
TIFUL
It is quiet, light running, and capable of ptr
forming a range and variety of work never be
fore attempted upon a single machine, -using
either silk, twist, linen or cotton thread, and new
tug with equal facility the very finest au<l<*uar-t
materials, and an.\ thing between the two extremes?
in the most beautiful and substantial manner. Its
attachments for Hemming. Braiding. Cording,
Tucking Quilting. Felling, Trimming, Binding,
etc , are novel and practical, and have been in
vented and adjusted ef-peciaily for this machine.
New designs of the unique, useful and popular
folding tops and cabinet cases. peculiar to th
machines ma mi factored by this Company. h* r t
been prepared for enclosing the new Machine.
A faint idea however, ean at best bo given
through the medium of a (nect—sarily) limited ad
vertisement: and we therefore urge every pers n
in quc.*t of a Sewing Machine by all means to ex
amine and test, if they can possibly do so, all U.e
leading rival machines before making a purchase
A selection can then be made understanding'/
Branches or agencies for supplying the "Singer'
Machines will be found in nearly every city i
town throughout the civilised world, whers
machines will be cheerfully exhibited, and any
information promptly furnished. Or com muni
