GRATING FRUIT-TREES-.
GRATING WAX.

As the time has arrived when the
grating is in order, We repeat our form
er advice that every farmer should do
his own grating. 1t is a very easy
operation when once understood, and
this is readily done by seeing it done.
A sharp pen-knife and a good fine saw
are indispensable. Splitting the stalk

and shaping tue scion wedge-fashion

injured and placing the rim of the wood

er, SO that the sap can intermingle--
there is no danger of failure if proper.
ly waxed. We make a shoulder to the
graft and think it adds to the certainty
OF success, though probably it weakens
1t, We prefer also two eyes or bud to
graft, and would rather have only one
than more than two. One years wood
should always be used when it can be
obtained, as it is more certain to take
and grow more vigorously, and the graft
should be cut from bearing branches.
We wish to remind those preparing
grating wax, that we have found four
parts of rosin, one part Of beeswax, and
one part beef tallow, to be the best pro-
portions. Melt them together in a skill
ct, (Which is best.) or d lineup, and mix
well. 1t should remain in the vessel |
and used as needed. Twenty or thirty
scions can be waxed with one heating I
up. When much grating is to be done,
a little fire for heating the wax should
be made on the spot, between the bricks
or stones. Apply with narrow wood
paddley. We have seen various prepar.
ations for making grating. wax and we
believe we have tried them all, but pre-
fer our own. Applying it warm or hot
does no injury to the graft The object
to attain in the proportion is that the
wax will not crack in cool, dry weather.
If, however, upon trial, different pro-
pOrations be required, the foregoing can
be altered, though after using them in
several ways we have come back to these.

SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A CHILD.

A shocking case of cruelty to child
was brought before the courts in this
city last week by Mr.. Bergh. He had re-
ceived information that little girl had
been for years suffering confinement and
cruel treatment at house in West For
ty-hrst street. Day after day the neigh
bors had heard the sound of blows, and
the wailings of child in pain. Still
nothing was done. They never saw the
child. Fortunately christian lady was
asked TO visit woman who lay dying
IN the same house, and the dying woman
told her visitor Of the horrible cruelty
practised daily by Mrs. Connolly. The
lady Went to Mr.. Bergh, and the latter,
with noble promptitude, Immediately set
to work and rescued the waif. Then the
little girl, pale and thin, with great welts
on her face and the scar of an old wound
caused by pair of scissors, stood up in
court and told her sorrowful story. Size
had no friends, but called Mrs Connolly
mamma. She had never been kissed,
never petted. never fondled in all her
life. ''Mamma" kept a rawhide, with
which she used to beat her nearly every
morning. She slept on the floor, with
an old quilt to cover her. In winter and |
summer her clothing was the same. She
had neither shoes nor stockings, nor any
save two old frocks. in all those

DAIRY IMPROVEMENTS,

The average productive capacity of
the cows of Vermont does not probably
exceed one hundred and fifty pounds of
butter per annum, or its equivalent in
cheese. 1t Is practicable by improved
management to raise that product one
hundred pounds per COW, and for those
most favorably situated, and most INTEL
igent, one hundred and fifty pounds.
One half of this advance may be made
by judicious culling out of the stock
We now have. 1t is practicable to adopt
system of farming by which we can
cheaply supply our cows with an abund-
ance of succulent food in times of drought
and even throughout the year. 1t is

A Little Fun with q Dog.

Wayne Hovey, editor of Mr.. Bergh's
paper, relates how he had little fun
with dog, which first led him to con-
slider the subject. Of cruelty to animals.
" 1t was ON Fourth of July, several
years ago." says Hovey; land the dogs
name was Spring. He was about the
meanest specimen of q cur ever knew
mangey, bow-legged, and yellow at that.
But he had a pair of eyes like black
beads, and what he lacked in natural
talent he made up in practical expert
ence. My father liked the dog because
he was useful, He drove the cows up in
the morning, kept the boys out of the
watermelon patch, and was terror to
tramps. But the dog we celebrate
brought q disaster to our house, or rather
barn, which I shall never forget. We

A Successful Farmer.

On Tuesday we were driving by the
residence of William Fleet, of Eden
township, and we spied Mr.. F. sitting by
the roadside on fence, under the shade
of large maple tree, smoking his pipe.
We said: Taking comfort, Mr.. Fleet?"
Yes" said he, Il am enjoying the
shade of large tree which, forty years
ago, trimmed with my jack.knife one
day while l was at work splitting rails at
eleven dollars per month. They were
clearing up the ground, and cut down
many very handsome little naples, when

gave sketch of his adventures in Indi-

ans, in his joking way. How he entered
1000 acres of land on the Pottawattomie
Reserve, and afterward traded half in
terest in it for 100 acres where his resi-
dence now stands, and how afterward he
wanted to sell it and couldn't, and then
how he shouldered his Ak and waded into
the forest and felled the timber on TWEEN
ty acres. The relation of this bit of
personal history was interesting, and
more so since we know that fOrty-three
years after Mr.. Fleet trimmed that little
maple tree, while he was mauling rails
at the small wages of eleven dollars per
month, he sits comfortably smoking his
pipe under the Same tree, which is now
more than two feet in diameter at the
trunk, and surveys over LOO acres of

A Brief COurtship.

About ten days ago young lady came
to our city from lama City, Iowa, for
the purpose of learning telegraphing.
She joined the class at the Gate City
Telegraph Institute and proceeded at
once with her study. She is young
lady of intelligence and education, and
applied herself closely and was making
very satisfactory progress. On Wednes-
day morning last there came to the
boarding house at which she was staying
young man who gave his name as Mr..
b, from Indiana, who had come
here to attend the fair. Soon after his
arrival he took pains to make it known to
some of the gentlemen boarders that in
addition to taking in the fair he had his
eye on the matrimonial market, and was
prepared to take unto himself wife so
soon as he should find one that came up
to the standard which his fruitful imagi-
nation had pictured. On the evening of
that day he was by some strange and
unaccountable circumstance introduced
to the young lady who had come to
keokuk to learn how to manipulate the
lightning. Each found in the other a
congenial spirit and an acquaintance was
speedily formed. This grew very rapidly
into friendship, SO much so in fact that
on the following day she was prevailed
upon to accompany him to the fair.
Here, inspired by the energizing in
duences of plethoric porcines and agri-
cultural hOrse-trOts, the warm friendship
which had been so early formed ripened
into
Love that disturbs
The schemes of wisdom still; that, winged with
passion
Blind and impetuous in it's fond pursuits.
Leaves the ray-headed reason far behind.
That evening Cupid famed the flame
with game of cards in which hearts
were trumps. The tender passion was
developed with such remarkable degree
of rapidity that on Saturday an applica-
tion was made at the Clerks office for a
marriage license. Failing to procure the
required certificate the application was
refused. But love laughs at law some
times, as well as locksmiths. The appli-
cants were not to be baffied in that way,
so they stepped down into our neighbor-
ing State of Missouri, where such trifling
fOrmalities were not required, and the mat
rimonial knot was tied by an Alexandria
Squire in a manner satisfactory to the par
ties concerned. They returned to the city
that evening and are now comfortably
ensconced in the boarding house where
few days ago they met, entire strangers
to each other. Such, in brief, is all we
know of this story of love at first sight,
except the names of the parties, and
those we withhold. (Io,oa) Gate
