GRAFTING.-Grafting can be cortinu-
ed till the buds of the trees are nearly
pushed into leaf. Sometimes, from a
pressure of other ork, some valuable
scions have been left on hand too late
to work. 1t may be interesting to know
that if such scions are put into the
ground, much the same as if they were
cuttings, they will keep good for six
weeks or two months, by which time
the bark Will run freely, when the
sci ns may be trea ted as BUDS, and w IL
succeed just as welt as buds taken from
young summer shoots.

EARLY LAYING IN PULLETs. There is
nothing that will so increase the early
laying OF pullets as to be fed with raw
bones pounded in pieces of proper size,
lt strengthens them and prevents leg
weakness, which is often seen in cock
erels. But for chickens intended for
exhibition we would not recommend
its use, for it is conceded that growth
ceases when the pullet commences to
lay. In these bone dust will be found
TO answer better, as it does not have the
same effect on their tendency to lay.

STARTING PLANTS EARLY.-A writer
on gardening gives the following hints
on starting tender seeds, such as toma-
toes, sQuashes, melons and the like :
''It is desirable in tranSplantlng not to
check the growth by disturbing the
roots. A good way 10 avoid this is to
scrape out turpips, fill them with good
soil, and plant i'll two or three seeds,
setting them in warm, light place,
and keeping them moist. When tie
weather is suitable, place these out in
the garden at the proper depth. The
turnip will decay and the plant will
thrive unchecked if properly cared for.
Do not use pOtat, q; instead of turnips.' =
Another method is TO use squares of
sod, say six inches wide, from good
mellow soil, turn them bottom up.
and pnt such seed as squash, melon
or sweet corn, and treat them in the
same way, not putting out till the
weather is quite warm, and then pro-
tecting against bugs. For more deli
cate plants, flowers. etc., make little
square paper boxes out of thin writing
paper or thick newspaper, merely fold
Ing them at the corners as you would
the paper in covering book and tack
ing them with needle and thread:
make them about three inches square
and two deep. Fill with good soil;
start the seeds and put them out at the
proper time, boxes and all, without
disturbing the roots. If you fear the
paper is too strong tor the roots to
penetrate, cut carefully on the bottom
OF the box the shape of cross and all
will be we'll.

AGRICULTURE.

WHAT AN EGG Is.-To the reflective
mind the egg constitutes one of the
greatest marvels of nature. At first
view it would seem that il is an especial
characteristic of birds; but when we
observe that fishes, so different from
birds in their organization and their
mode of life, have also eggs, we see
that it must be the same in one sense
with all kinds of animals. A pullet's
egg is very small germ, possessing at
IL st only the most essential organs for
the actual sustcnance of its existence,
and the gradual development of its
other parts inclosed ia box, with its
provisions for the time it must actually
remain in seciusion. The animal Is the
little whitiSh circle remarked in the
membrane which envelops the mass OF
the yolk. Fhe house destined To pro-
tect the young animal until it has ac-
acquired all of its own organs, and all
the necessary strength, and yet allow
the air and heat to penetrate, is the
she'll. Hence, the size of the eggs Of
animals is, not necessarily proportloned
TO the size of the animals To which they
belong. All animals, whatever they
may be-from che elephant to the hum
ming-bird-are at the moment when
they begin 30 feel the principle of life
nearly of the same size. That which
varies in the provision of nourishment
they require. The crocodile, destined
to attain COLOSSAL dimensions, can take
care of himself very we'll in the river
where he was horn when he has attain
ed the size of a l'zz rd; so nature places
in the box where he is confined food
sufficient to enable him to reach that
size. The same with fishes; there are
some enormous ones which had only
We ysmall eggs, because, howevs: di-
mlnutlve they may be on leaving their
envelope, they can already obtain their
own living i'll the bosom of the river or
ocean.
