C. Moran, of Kentucky, inquiries the

found absolutely necessary in grating

be grated, should be prepared by remov-

The stock may be cut of square, at a
smooth place selected for the purpose, and
one, Two, or more scions inserted accord
ing to the size of the stock, in the usual
cleft nanner OF grating. or a graft may
be inserted in the ends of pieces of root
that are cut off and are large enough near
the surface for that purpose If the stock
will hold the graft, no tying is needed (;
but if otherwise, Of course some mode of
tying must be resorted to. Some persons
use strong ligatures, others wax, and
some nothing at all, and all with more or
less Of success. To cover we'll with wax.

must be brought back compactly round

WOmen,s Secrets.

We laugh at the woman's tongue, and
wonder when a woman keeps secret; (;
but every true woman keeps box Of
choice reserves for her own private indul-
gence. The mans mysteries are not

let him expect them to be blown abroad
Her own secrets Of love, of loss. of self
denial, of nnsuspected suffering, no wo
man exposes altogether. even to her
nearest friend. There never lived hus-
band happy in the true love Of his wife,
who fairly knew all the depths Of her
mind about him. Every man profits stu

Planting Strawberry Beds.

March anu April, in our opinion, is the
best season of all the year 10 plant Oiit
strawberry beds. If the ground is well
prepared and the plants fresh, and taken
up with their roots entire and uniajured,
as they can be, and planted with ordinary
skill, il is easier TO secure a good stand
of strawberry plants, thar it is of cab
bage. And, we believe, with these con-
ditions, a plant will produce as much fruit
the season Of planting, as il would had it
been planted out and rooted in the Fall /;
for the strawberry plant has stored away
in lis crown the future blossom aud fruii,
Just as the blossom is stored in the fruit

Is CheaDer?

| Isit cheaper to build iails than it is to
educate our children in good morals, and
thus prevent their becoming inmates Of
our prisons
What sort of men will those boys make
who are allowed TO frequent rum holes, to
smoke, swear and play cards! Do pa
rents suppose they can held the reigns of
government over their sons while they
permit them to spend their evenings away
from home, subjected to all the bad inau-
ences which are always concentrated ina
village2
Is il cheaper for father TO pay for the
mischief which his sons do, than it is to
buy them library of good books If
parents would keep their sons contenled
at home, let them take half dozen
newspapers so as TO furnish them, daily,
with men,al and moral food
"Half dozen papers," says one, Il
cannot afford il. Half dozen papers
would cost twelve dollars year! can
not afford itr'
We will suppose this father has two
sons between the ages Of twelve and six
teen. They have learned TO smoke ci-
gars; be allows them two cigars piece,
daily, al a cost of three cents each. He
thinks this quite moderate allowance of
tobacco; perhaps he smokes two cigars
day himself. Only six cigars daily for a
father and two sons! THIS is a very mo
derate allowance, as every smoker is
willing 10 admit; but these six cigars, at
three cents apiece, will in one year
amount to the snug little sum Of siSty-fve
dollars and seventy cents Enough to
take thirty weekly newspapers
We have only taken into account the
expense os the tobacco, making no de-
duction for time wasted, health injured,
and the mind blunted and eneryaied.-
These las, are often heavy draft upon
the family income.
Now, we ask in all soberness if it is not
cheaper to furnish good books, good pa
pers and a plenty of them for our child
Ten, than il is to let them go without and
run the risk of their contracting a taste
for immortality, tobacco and strong drinks?
The daughters, too, should not be neg.
lecled. Take papers and magazines for
them; give them something to think
about, and then they will not grow up
