Crofting Frnit Trees Grafting Wax.
An agricultural correspondent says that
eyory farmer should do his own grafting.
It is a very easy operation when ouce un
derstood, and this is readily done by see
ing it done. A sharp penknife and a good
fine saw are indispensable. Splitting the
stalk so that the bark shall not be bruised,
and shaping the scion wedge-fashion both
ways, preserving also the bark uninjured,
and placing the rim of the wood of both
stock and scion exactly together so that
the sap can intermingle there isnodanzer
of failure if properly waxed. We mako a
shoulder to the graft and think it 1 adds to
the certainty of success, though probably
it weakens it. We' prefer also two eyes or
buds to a graft, and rather have only one
than more tbau two. One year's wood
should always be used when it can be ob
tained, as it is more certain to take and
grow more vigorously, and the graft should
.be out from bearing branches.
Wo wish to remind those preparing
grafting-wax, that we have found four
jiarts of rosin, one part of beoswax aud one
5art beef tallow, to be the best proportions.
Molt them togother in a skillet (whioh is
best) or a tincup, and mix well. It should
remain in the vessel and be used as needed.
Twenty or thirty scions can be waxed with
one beating up. When much grafting is to
dono, a littlo fire for boating the wax
-should be made on the spot, between
ibrlcks or stones. Apply with a narrow
wood paddle.
We have scon various preparations for
tnalting grafting-wax, and we believe we
have triod them all, but profer our own.
Applying it warm or hot does no injury to
the graft. The object to attain in the pro
portion is that the wax will not crack in
ooel, dry weather, or run in warm weather.
If, however, upon trial, different propor
tions be required, the foregoing can be
altered, though after using them in several
ways we have come buck to these.
The Use of Salt for Stock.
- While a certain amount of salt is absolute
ly necessary for the health of stock, it by
no means follows that its indiscriminate use
is either needful or safe. On the ooutrary,
salt used in excessive quantities is highly
dangerous. It then acts upon the stora
aoh and intestiuos as an irritant poison, and
cases of death have occurred through per
mitting cattle and bogs to consume too
muoh of it. When stock are allowed free
ooess to it they will take a small quantity
very often, but if denied a frequent supply
tbey become ravenous for it, and are in
danger of eating to excess. The safest way
is to use a small quantity regularly in the
food ; a quarter of an ounce daily being
amply sufficient for a cow or horse, and a
fourth of that quantity for hog or sheep.
If stock are salted onoe a week no more than
one ounce at a time should be given to a
oow, and quarter of an ounce to a sheep or
hog. It should also be given in such a
manner that no one animal should eat more
than its share. It may be given scattered
thinly in the feeding trough with more i
safety than in any other way exoepting
when it U mixed with the feed. Regular
. ity in use is the most eonduoive to the
bealUi of cattle. We Audit necessary to
give this caution because some of our read-
era have been led to suppose, very errone
ously, that as much salt is a good thing
stock can not have too much of it. '
K2T This is the way a famous oantolope
cultivator gets a fine start with bis plants,
and has early fruit, as early as any in our
markets: "I dig boles twelve Inohea
square, eight or ten inches deep ; fill up
with well-rotted horse-manure to the sur
fooo. On this put two iuobes of soil. Theu
take a four-inch flower-pot ; set in the cen
tre ; draw the remainder of the soil arouud
the pot, until the soil is about four iuobes
deep ; then giving the pot a twist round,
withdraw it. This leaves a bole four
inohes deep by four wide. In this I drop
rive or six seeds, and cover to the depth of
three-quarters of an inch. Over this I
jiiaoe a light of Bix by eight glass, pressing
it lightly U fit close. I then give bo more
attention till the plants are touching the
glass. Then go through, taking a small
stone, raise up one end of the glass with
it ; this admits of a circulation of air over
the plants and hardens, them. In about
three days more remove the glass entirely.
Ity litis time they will be in the rough leaf.
I tliiu out to three plants in a hfll. I draw
a tittle fine soil around them, up as high as
the teed leaf, and the work is dune."'
Relieving Choked Cattle. ,
A correspondent says be makes tire
suffering animal junp over a pair of bars,
loft up as biifb an the animal e&n be made
to jump wban compelled by tbe us of the
whip. He never falls t relieve s oaee rf
choking; by this means, Occasionally be
makes them jump over the bar twice but
ouee ia usually sufficient.

OF INTERMITTENT FEVER I
The (IrcatoHt Discovery of the Age I
rpiIERE are no diseases so debilitating In
J their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect a cure In cases of tbe long
est standing, as well as prove a preventive in
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they net with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradicating It from tho system,
and preventing a return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure tbe Cbiils in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputation it i'ntablithed. Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles la
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There U no Ritk in Taking Them. They
contuin nothing Injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re
sult of the niauy nostrums of the day. Physi
cians recommena mem as rar superior to (Jul
nine, orany other known remedy, for they leave
the system in a healthy state, and tho patient
