A FARMERS OPINION OF THAT
RAILROAD.

Eds. Journal If a railroad can
be built from River Falls to Martin s
Junction for $4,000. or anything like
that sum, by all means have it built.
men, the farmers, and even the team
sters, to have it built. 1t seems to
me it cannot be otherwise. Any in
vention that saves labor, lessons dis
lance, cheapens transportation, facili-
tates travel, or in any way improves
the existing condition of affairs, is not
without its usefulness. The fact alone
that ''ifty Transfers are employed
in transporting goods and produce be-
tween this place and Hudson, speaks
lily for the enterprise of the place,
since certain it is, (if such is the true
statement of facts) that there is lack
of business enterprise somewhere-a
lack, or want, which ought to be sup
piled Immediately.
At present there is loss-a draw
back--upon the purses of the farm
er, the mechanic, and even upon the
day-laborer and teamster, equal to
one-half the cost of transportation be-
tween here and Hudson. ''Teamster"
would suffer nothing by the advent Of
a railroad, since he would soon find
better, and more profitable employ
ment. If he would join the ranks of
the farmer, and thus become pro-
Queer, instead of consumer, his serv-
ices would be worth more to himself,
as well as to society.
Let me urge upon the citizens of
River Falls, of every persuasion, kind
or class, the vast Importance of rail-
road communication to this town.
Let me assure them that it must be had
at no distant day, or the place, instead of
being foremost, as it now is, among
the commercial points in the st. Croix
Valley, will certainly be compelled to
take a back seat. The village will
soon be on the retrograde, the price
of farms around it, and farm produce,
will decline, and weshall gain an unen-
viable reputation-a reputation of be-
ing ''dead BEATS" being "behind the
times, s'behind the lighthouse, etc.
But let us have railroad communica-
tiOn and we can maintain Our pres
ent standing. Yes-more. We can
soon double our population, as well as
our popularity; we can improve more
of our vast water-power by building
manufactures; we can increase our
facilities for doing all kinds of bust
ness, and we can make River Falls the
commercial center of the st. Croix
Valley. Then let this discussion con-
tinue; we want more of it.

GRATING.

In our last article we gave the pre-
liminary work necessary before we
actually begin to graft, and as we are
now grating our springs stock
we will tell just how we do it.
We follow the method known as
''Whip or tongue grating" This is
most generally practiced where the
cion and root are of an equal size. AS
will be remembered in our last article,
we left the roots, or stocks, buried ia
the cellar, and the cions packed in
sawdusU in the cellar. These are now
taken and cut into pieces, each six
inches long. Next they are joined to-
gether by a splice, about one inch
long in each piece a tongue has been
formed by splitting both root and cion
to the depth of half an inch, with the
grain, or lengthwise, thus forming the
tongue.
After the root and cion have been
firmly connected by the splice, they
are then either wrapped with waxed
string, or paper, SO as to keep them
firmly Joined. The wax used to wax
the thread or paper is composed of
four parts rosin, three parts beeswax,
three parts lard. When well mixed
draw the string through it, or dip in
the cotton cloth, and afterwards cut
it to meet the use required. After
this the CRAFTS should be packed away
in sawdust in boxes to wait the prop
or time to set them in the spring.
Great care Is required in packing the
CRAFTS away so as not to have them
either mould or dry up.
