As the time will soon be here when

vice that every farmer should do his
own grafting. 1t is very easy 0per-
alton, when once understood, and this
is readily done by seeing 1t done. A
sharp pen-knife and good fine saw
are indispensable. Splitting the stalk SO
that the bark shallnot be bruised, and

ways, preserving also the bark Mnin-
jured. and placing the rim ofthe is0od
of both stock and scion exactly to-
gether, SO that the sap can srminglc

the graft and think it add Fthe Ger.
tainty Of success, though fobal,ly j,

or buds to a graft, and would rather
have only one thnn more than two
Ono years wood should always bt
used when il can be obtained, as il il
more certain to take and grows NOR,
vigorously, and the gialt should be cn
from bearing branches. a,s !;
We wish to remind those preparing

parts Of resin, one part OF heeswax ,ant
one part Of beef tallow to be the hes
