A good grafting wax is made by melting together one pound of common resin, one pound of beeswax and one qtarter of a pound of tallow. The mix ture is stirred until it is cool, when it is molded by the hand in warm water until it is soft and plastic and formed into sticks for use. A eommon way of using it is to dip narrow strips of cotton cloth in the melted wax, wind these into a bail, and use them for wrapping the grafts. New York Times. COW PEAS. Cow peas are a noted renovator of the soil and answers a better purpose to the Southern agriculturist than red clover at the North. The roots, reaching into the subsoil, brings its mineral consti tuents to the surface, shades out all noxious weeds and grasses, promotes the formation of nitrogen and prevents the evaporation of ammonia. Plowed or spaded in they lighten, warm and enrich the most obstinate soils, placing them in the best condition for the growth of all crops. Neio Orleans Times-Democrat. EXDURIXG FEXCE POSTS. Charring the ends of posts that are to be set in the ground is often recom mended, but when the time and trouble required in doing it are considered it is doubtful if it will pay. As a general thing heartwood and the wood from mature trees, neither very young or very old, will last longer than wood from trees of either extreme. In heavy clay soils always wet or moist posts will en dure longer than in gravelly and lighter ones that are alternately wet and dry. Usually trees gro.vn on dry uplands, if of the proper age, are worth more as fuel or timber than such as are grown in a dense forest, or low, rich land. New Orleans Delta. VALUE OF HORSE HIRE. Few farmers who feed their stock home-grown products, hay or grain, appreciate the cost of keeping a horse through the year. The city liveryman docs, and reckoning on days when horsc3 must be idle, he charges what seems a very high price when in use. It needs a constant run of custom to keep up a good livery, even at these high prices for horse hire, a? there are always lia bilities to accidents, and allowance must be made for these. A careful teamster informed us that his team of horses, worth at least 6600, cost for keeping, horse-shoeing, interest, depreciation in value and insurance, an average of 1 for each working day in the year. And he had to contend in this climate with some days when for man or team to work out of doors cost more than he could aHord. The more we studv this cues- tion the less excessive the estimate seems. The teamster gave nearly an hour of each dav in simnl'v cariDLr for his team, and this carefully doae, as he did it, was worth pay whether he charged for it or not. Boelo:i Cult in dor. SCIENCE i: THE GARDEN. In an es?av read before the Massachus etts Horticultural Society by O. L. Allen, of Floral Park, NT. Y.,.it was said that to the gardener the seedsman is in debted for the "novelties" which he sends forth. The keen discrimination of the gardener has detected some little var iation in form, color or marking of a flower, either snrout. a chance seed ling, or perchance the result of syste matic fertilization. He may have" dis covered a plant remarkable for its vigor ana wnn novers larger, of more sub stance and of a deeper color than the type. He selects the seeds from these nd by careful, systematic selection after years of patient industry establishes a type oi superior merit. The same is true of scientific knowl- euge in its relation to plant-culture, growth or development. We are in debted to the jrardener for all th far!t.s pertaining to these subjects which the principal scientists aie teaching. Practi cal knowledge can be gained from no other source. If a man wants the real knowl edge of plants he must o to the srdpn- er and learn of the plant. lie must be a gardener. It matters not whether he is to teach the art or practice it, the gar- uui istnescnool ana nature the head teacher. However much the scion or may be disseminated afterwards, it. i born in the garden and cradled by the gardener. Jlen are ant to thmk there is a conflict between science and practice, out tnis is a great mistake; they are simply cause and effect. A simple defin ition of the word science would be, ex act fact. yew York World. PREPARING THE SOIL. With the majority of crons it is not necessary to prepare the surface of thp soil deep. If the surface is thoroughly fixed to the depth of three or four inches", that is really all that is necessary and the implements that will uo this best and most cconomical'y are the ones that should be used. Ma ny follow the plan of nlowinn- iho land in the fall or early winter and then working it into a proper uenth in to. spring with the cultivator and harrow. i nis is a very considerable saving over the old plan of plowing in the sprfn be- icre seeding or planting. U ith all crops it pay? to take time to wort thn soil into a good deoth before lilantni- the seed and the more thoroughly this is done the better the germination and growth of the plants. It is ..juite an item with spring work to get everything done in good season, and as a rule every thing that will save time or lessen work in the spring should be taken advantage of.. Whether the common diamond shaped cultivator or the disc or spring tooth' harrow are used, care should be taken to work into a good depth. Their princi ple advantage is in the saving of time. Oats can be sown broadcast either by hand or with the seeder and worked into the soil with one of these implements and the work be done very rapidly. With corn one or two workings with oue of these implements is all that is usually necessary to fit for the planter. By pre parirg in a good depth before planting, the cultivation can be commenced earlier than would otherwise be possible. In many cases it will be necessary to use the spike tooth harrow to finish up before seeding. The character of the soil should determine the kind of imple ment to use. No one implement will do best under all cultivation and a little care in the selection will make a considerable difference in the results. The best im plements to use are those that do the work economically and most satisfac torily. Wisconsin Agriculturist. TREES ON THEIR OTO ROOT?. Quite recently some of our English cousics claimed to have discovered that all kinds of fruit and ornamental trees are far tetter and more valuable on their own roots than when worked on seedling or other stocks, as generally practiced in propagating such trees in nurseries. The usual claim that "it is more natural" is advanced in support of their theory, but unfortunately the theorists overlook the fact that tree culture is an art, and that we employ and use nature as a foun dation upon which to build, following her only so far as she may assist and di rect us in our work:. Because nature does not transplant, bud, graftand propa gate trees by cuttings and other artificial methods it does not follow that we must not do so, any more than w'e must not wear clothes because mother nature fails to provide them ready made for our use. We make mistakes in the propagation of trees and shrubs while budding and grafting, not only in the selection of proper stocks, but also in setting the buds and cions either too high or too low, and if failures follow they are not to be taken as an evidence of the fallacy of the methods employed, but the want of practi cal knowledge and experience in the operator. The system of root grafting pears anc. apples so long practiced by our nursery men eventually results in just the form of trees our English cousins claim to be the most perfect, for the piecc3 of roots used in this mode of propagation rarely serve more than a temporary purpose in giving the plant a start in life, and, when set out in the nursery, or planted in the orchard, new roots soon push out from the stem above the point of junction be tween stalk and cion, and henceforward the tree draws a part or all nutrients from the soil through its own roots. Pears when budded on quince stalks and trans planted to the orchard are usually set deep enough to cover the stalk and per mit the production of rocts from the pear wood above it. The apple and pear trees in the older orchards of this country were almost invariably grafted, if grafted at all, on strong stocks several feet from the ground, either on the main stem or branches of large trees, and that this mono of propagating the different va rieties then in cultivation was a success few persons will attempt to deny, for many of these old trees after v,-ithstaud-ing the assaults of enemies for a century are yet bearing fruit in greater or less abuudancc. This old mode of jxraftinjr and budding on large and strong stalks is still practiced with many kinds of both fruit and ornamental trees, and for the very good reason it is the best forcer tain varieties, which arc cither of slow growth or produce weak and slender stems when root grafted. All forms and modes of propagation arc useful in their way, and no one is equally well adapted to the multiplication of all kinds of plants, aud it, would be worse than folly to attempt to discard budding and graft ing even with varieties that are readily propagated by cutting.?. Whatever maybe the facts in regard to the growth, cultivation and longevity of fruit and ornamental tress in Great Brit ain, we certainly have no occasion in this country to look upon budded and grafted trees generally as inferior to those on their own roots. Auiericui Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Sow lime broadcast over the onion bed as a protection against worms. Study the economy of feeding; the whole matter of profit is largely de termined oy the management of the feed ing. Xo set rules can be given. Each lot should be led according to its require ments. Chop the manure well into the soil of the garden. Use only the fine and well rotted material. Coarse manure, con taining cornstalks, straw, or other litter not decomposed, will only be in the way of the young and tender plants. The finer the manure the better. The hog-pen is a nuisance that ought to be abolished. A small pasture r--grcen food, containing comfortable shel ter and conveniences for feeding aud watering, should be provided; then hogs will be healthy, have good appetites and good digestion, and that is all they want. The more wrinkled the peas the better thc quality of the variety. The early peas arc usually smooth. The dwarf va rieties can be grown with the least labor, as they need no supports; but later on the taller kinds should be planted, as they are not only of better quality, but afford a greater number of pickings. The manure of the different kinds of farm stosk varies in quality or ncancs.-, because they receive different kinds oi rations, and because they assimiltte their food differently. The manure from the stalls of fattcming animals is richer; that is to say, is worth more per ton than that from stock fed on grain or mill feed. A hand seeder will distribute the seeds in the row much better than can be done with the ringers. Some eed drills open the rows, plant and cover the seetls, and mark off the next rows.. If the proper implements were used for the garden there would be less complaint of the labor required in growing vegetables for family u;e. The first thing to do ia invigorating a worn-out orchard is to enrich the groiuid by a top dressing tl whale surface with barn manure ; if practicable, at the rate of thirty or lorty two-horse load3 to the acre, or with less if this amount can not be had. Let this manure be finely broken up so as to be evenly spread and not left in lumps. Professor J. W. Sanborn says: "Up to 300 pounds weight the calf consumes 3.3 per cent, ol it3 live weight daily; from 300 to 700 pounds weight in the steer requires three per cent, of live weight daily; from 700 to 1000 pounds 2.8 per cent., and thereafter some 2.6 per cent, of live weight daily. More at first and less at the finish. It requires about one-third of this food in grain. England's 100-Ycar-Old Admiral. Sir Provo William Parry Wallis, the senior Admiral of the British fleet, re centlv celebrated his hundredth birth dav anel is still in the service. In no other country in the world would such i thing be passible, and it has never oc curred in Encrlanel before. The old man is still hale aud heartv aud. to all ap pearances, likely to enjoy life for some time longer. He has drawn pay from the navy for ninety-six years, has been actually in the service for ninety of tnese, and it is eighty-seven years since he first went to sea. He was born at Halifax Nova Scotia, April 12, 1791, while hi; ADMIRAL CIR FROVO WILLIAM PARRY WALI.Ii. father was stationed there as Chief Clerk of the Navy Yard, and, according to a custom then prevailing in the case of sons of officers or people of influence, was placed on the pay roll of one of the vessels of the navy when he was but four years old. In 1S00, when only nine, he went aboarel the Cleopatra for training aud four years later made his first voyage in her. The Cleopatra, after a fight in midocean, was captured by the French rigate Viile de Milan, but was rescued y another British vessel a week later, .n 1808, at the age of seventeen, he was" inaelc a Second Lieutenant and was in nany actions during the French war. lie was Second Lieutenant of the Shannon when that frigate defeated the Chesa ocakc in the famous- fight off Eostou Harbor in 1S13. The Captain having jcen wounded anel the First Lieutenant iillcel the commanel of the frigate and aer prize devolved upon young Wallis. He was promoted for his gallantry and sfficiency in this action and in 1810 was made a Captain. The dates of his pro motions after thisj were as follows: Hear Admiral, 1851; Vice Admiral, 1S57; Admiral, 183, and Admiral of the fleet, 1S?7. It was by the special order of the Queen that he was retamcel in the service after he had attained the age of eventy, at which the rule requires re irement. This was on account of the exceptional length and character of his service. lie was created a G. C. B. in 1S73. Chicago Post. One Good Turn Deserves Another. "Help rer on with yer coat, sir V 1- ii.
