6 FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS Wa inrilA communications from all pernnnmrho arc interested in mutters properly belonging lo thin department. The Farmers' Club. At the meeting of tlia Farmers' Club on the 19th ult., the following subjects ware considered : Breaking vp Ilnnl limit. A communication wan read I'rom Mr. IC. M. Dyer, of lJenninjitoii, Vermont, who said that he hail upon his l'iriu hujjo flinty rocks, which were s hard in their substance that it was impossible to drill into them. The bars used for the pur pose invariably broke or bent, and he de sired to know bow it was possible Ibr him to remove tliein ; if anything could be used on the surface to explode them. Mr. Hubert J. Dodge said that nitro glycerine placed upon the surface would break them up. Dr. Trimble stated that he would not advise the use of nilro-glycerine. In his early days he had traced burning (aunts upon hard recks, and after allowing them to get thoroughly heated, poured on cold water, which would invariably break up the hardest substances. Vermin in Cuttle. A letter was read from Myron Dabeock, of Tarrytown, Pa., inclosing the follow ing receipt for lice in cattle or other ani mals : Take a pint of whale oil, part the hair in the middle, and pour the oil along the back from head to tail, lie said that this had never failed in remov ing the vermin. WcB.il in Barn. Mr. William Garret, of Chester coun ty, Pa., wrote that he had purchased a farm and that he had discovered the barn to be full of weevil, and wished to know what lie should do to destroy them. Dr. Trimble said that he knew of no other way of killing thctn than by stack ing the grain out lor a year, thereby starving the weevil. Insectivorous Bird. Mr. Ira Urewer, of lJingliainton,N. Y., wroto about the disappearance of the woodpecker in his vicinity, and the con sequent destruction by the worm of fruit which had followed. Mr. Charles Carlisle, of Woodstock, Vt.. stated in a communication that the small fruit-growers in his Faction considered the bluejay to bo a groat friend, and he paid to feed them, lie allowed the birds j'ree access to his corn-crib in the winter, and they reciprocated by acting as a po lice force against the instrusive worm in the summer. Dr. Trimble remarked that he did not know what to say in regard to the blue jay. The opinions were conflicting, lie wished, however, to say a word in favor of the woodpecker, and especially the downy ppecies. They were the most valuable of all birds, and 1 lie good work they performed for tho fruit-grower could not be estimated. Mr'. Curtiss observed that ho fully in dorsed Dr. Trimble's statements. Fruit Grafting. As the time will soon be here when grafting will be in order, we repeat our former advice that every farmer should do his" own grafting. It is a very easy operation when once understood, and this is readily done by eeeing. it done. A sharp penknife and a good fine saw are indispensiblo. Spliting the stalk so that the bark shall not be bruised and sha ping the ecion , wedge fashion both ways, preserving also the bark uninjured and placing the rim of the wood of both stock and uoion exactly together, so that? the sap can intermingle there is no danger of failure if properly waxed. We make a shoulder to the graft and think it adds to the certainty of succoss.though it probably weakens it. Wo prefer also two eyes or buds to a graft.and would rather have only one than more than two. One year's wood should always bo used when it can be obtained, as it is more certain to take and grows more vigorously. Wo wish to remind thoso preparing grafting wax, that wo have found four parts of rosin, one part of beeswax, and one part of beef tallow, to bo the best proportions. Melt thorn together iu a skillet, (whioh is tho best,) or a tincup and mix well. It should remain iu the vessel and be used as needed. Twenty or thirty scions can bo waxed with one heat ing up. When much grafting is to be done, a little lire for heating tho wax should bo made on tho spot, between two bricks or stones. Wo have seen various preparations . for making grafting war and we believe Wd have tried them all, but prefer our own. Applying it warm or hot does no injury to the graft. The object to attain in the proportion is that the wax will not crack in cool, dry weather, or run in warm weather. If, however, upon trial, different proportions be required, the foregoing can. be altered, though alter trying them in several ways, we have come back to these Ci mum town Tele ijnqih. 'ew Method of (Jrafting. The New Hampshire Minor ami Farmer says that Mr. i-'ullivati Hutch inson, of L'ristol, Pennsylvania, has re cently patented a process for making fruit trees from limbs. Mr. Hutchinson claims that by this method, such fruit bearing limbs as may be conveniently spared, can bo transformed into independent trees, that will continue bearing i'rom the first year regularly, as before. The process is as follows : Into the limb, which is intended for the future tree, small roots arc grafted, or in some way inserted under the bark, just where the limb is to be severed. Such limbs are required to be from one to two inches in diameter. Below these roots the branch is girdled. A smaller box (illed with earth is enclosed about the limb in a position to embrace these roots. During the summer these roots grow, and the connection is formed with the limb above. The following fall the box will bo filled with roots, when the limb may be cut from tho parent stock i nd set in the ground. Jtis claimed that the next year this new tree wilj bear fruit just as though it had not been severed from the original tree. HOTELS. FEIlllY HOUSE, New Blooinflelu, Pa.

Tlie Vain Killer is, hy universal coii-ent. allowed to have won fur it-elf a reputation mism-passcd in the history of medleMial iireiiaralions. Its instan tancons ell'ect in tlie entire eradication and extinc tion of rain, in all its various forms, incidental ti tlie human family, and the 1111 -01'citcd written and verbal testimony of the masses in its favor, have been, and are, its own best adveilisenietit. Em- evidence in favor of the l'a in Killer for Ministers' Koro Throat or Bronchitis, read the fol lowing: Gents. The vn Kil'er lias been a constant oc cupant of our house for over two years, and a por tion of the time it has leen the only medicine un der our roof. Ilanl'y ever do I have my children complain of beinp; sick, without having them ask. in the same sentence for I'ain Killer. I'or several years before I became acquainted with tlie l'a a killer, 1 had sulleied a great deal from an affection In my throat, thought by some physicians to be Kronchitis, by otlieis to be what Is called Min'sters' Sore Throat. At one time it was so severe that I was obliged lo give up preach ing. Within a few months after I had become ac quainted with the rain Killer, I had anotherattactc from that distressing complaint. I tried my new found lucd'eine, and, toiny astonishment and de light, it produced a wonderfully soothing effect. In a short time I was wholly relieved. .Since that time 1 have had a number of attacks of tho taunts nature, and the I'ain Killer has always afforded me .relief. About one year since, my w ife became sub ject to severe suffering from l!hetimalisni: our re sort, as usual, was to the I'ain Killer, which would always relieve her. I have not time now to say more, as I could with a hearty good will, and always have done, la praise of the I'ain Killer.
