to have the roller follow the plow pretty
closely, as clods crush more easily then

In preparing the ground for wheat, tho

tbe ground be rolled before the drill. No

Grafting Wax.
This being the season for grafting, we
publish, for the benefit of fruit-growers,
tbe old receipt for making grafting wax,
at the same time adding a new receipt rec
ommended by a prominent agricultural
journal.
The old standard grafting wax is made
as follows : "Three parts rosin, three parts
beeswax, and two parts beef tallow. These
are all melted together, and tho mixture
is usually applied with a painter's small
brush, or a wooden blade. It is frequent
ly worked up like shoemaker's wax by be
ing softened with a little warm water, and
applied with the band. Some also dip !
strips of cotton cloth, an inch or an inch
and a half wide, into the hot wax, strip
ping it through between two pieces of
wood and spplytng around tbe graft.
We prefer the first-named process.
The new grafting wax referred to, is
made and applied as follows : "Melt two
ounces of rosin slowly so as to make it
throw off its spirit of turpentine. When
it becomes perfectly clear, add a little less
than an ounce alcohol, mix well, and at
once eork tight in a bottie. Add alcohol
afterwards to make it a medium liquid,
and apply with a small brush or wooden
blade. Like the foregoing, it is said to
form an air tight covering, which is the
object aimed at by all applicants in grafting-"
The perfect covering for grafts is tbat
which will always adhere to the stock, and
will not crack in the cold, in tbe high
winds of rpriog, or run ia the hot suns of
summer. .

it leaves some questions to tie decided by
the Courts, and if tbe constitutionality of

soon be competing lines of railroad be
