An old recipe for making grating wax,
and a good one, is four parts resin, two
parts beeswax, and one part tallow. Melt
all together in a kettle, over a moderate
fire, and when we'll mixed, pour into a
vessel of cold water to harden. When
stiff enough to handle grease the hands,
and then pull and work the "a until it
is white, or amber colored, and of even
quality throughout. Apply the wax to
the gratis in such a way that the air shall
be entirely excluded from all raw sur
faces on scion and stock. In cold weather
the wax may need warming by working
it in the hands, or it may be melted and
applied with a brush. For small trees
in nurseries, we have used the wax on
strips of cloth prepared by simply dip
ping the strips in melted wax. These,
wound around the stock, keep the scion
firmly in place.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
The Feeding value OF Corn stalks.

AT a recent State Dairymen's conven-
ton held in Wisconsin, Professor Henry,
of the State Agricultural college, said
eve are new undertaking experiments
to determine the value of corn-stalks as
fodder. On the college farm, we got on
four acres, beside fifty bushels to the
acre of shelled corn, Ia, 900 pounds of
corn-stalks. We fed two calves on corn
stalks and two on hay, each couple for
three weeks; then we reversed and fed
them three weeks longer, so as to mini
mize the possible differences in the cows
themselves. The result of that expert
ment was that we estimated one pound
of lay as worth two pounds of corn.
stalks. Our yield of corn-stalks being
one and three. quarter tons to the acre,
was consequently nearly equal to one ton
of hay, and, in addition, we got fifty
bushels of shelled corn. We fed the
stalks in this case uncut, and | estimate
the waste as about forty per cent. We are
about to make an experiment, cutting the
corn-stalks. We noticed little or no diff
ference in the milk and butter Yields of
those COWS, whether fed on hay or
stalks; they all averaged one pound of
butter per day. The quality of the pro
duct from stalk-fed COWS was equally as
good as the hay-fed. On answer of an
inquiry regarding the grinding of corn
in the cob, Professor Sanborn's expert
ment show the grinding of corn and cob
together to be advantageous. The cob
| gives a bulk which assists the easy
digestion of the corn. While on the
subject of cattle feed, let me say a good
word for corn grown for fodder, to he
used in the fall when your pastures be-
gin to run short. You can raise not far
from 80, 900 of green stalks to the acre.
On this matter of corn stalks, l should
say that it is no eXaggeration to say that
there are enough corn-stalks wasted in
Wisconsin every year to keep all the four
footed animals in the State. | should
say that for fodder l am opposed to large
southern corn. lprefer a variety of small
corn. Enquiry as to the relative value
of eastern and western CORN, Eastern
grown corn has a greater percentage of
nutriment than our western, but if you
keep on growing that corn in the West,
1t soon becomes western. 1t would be
well enough to try the eastern or south
ern. For fodder, you must plant early
and cut early"

why He Was Frightened.

Among the disagreeables Of a hotel
mans life are his encounters with the
professional beat. Not long ago there
hourished in New York one of this
genius, who had so persistently worked
the hotels and restaurants hat his fea-
lures were familiar to all the clerks and
proprietors. His appearance became the
signal for a prompt and forcible election.
Chance favored him n day, and as he
passed n of the uptown restaurants
he observed new man at the cashiers
desk. Assuming a lordly air, he walked
in, seated himself at one Of the tables,
and ordered a s%umptuous repast. This
he consumed with great relish, aiding
the process with a copious supply Of the
best wines ON the list.
Summoning the waiter, he was helped
on with his coat. and affecting an absent
minded mood started for the door, dis
appointing the waiter of the generous
fee which might be expected from so
lavish a diner. AS the beat neared the
door he was surprised to see the proprie-
tor an oft-swindled acquaintance
seated at the cashiers desk.
The beat sauntered leisurely up to the
desk with his fingers in his vest pockets
as though feeling for his money, A look
of despair came over his face.
'By Jove, old man, he said, edo you
know I've come away from home without
a cent! | changed my vest and left my
roll on my bureau. Deuced awkward,
you know, but I'll stop in on my way
down in the morning and make it all
right"
"Na much you don't" replied the
proprietor, producing a large and potent
revolver from beneath the counter.
'You'll settle before you leave the
premises"
The beat turned pale as he looked
down the muzzle of the revolver. lie
gasped and shook with terror, but of a
sudden regained his eomposure and q
smile played over his features.

Too Much Language.

Each social caste has a dialect of its
own in Japan. Then there is a children's
language, which is the real variation of
the %veruacular, and there is a household
language as distinguished from that of
the street or rostrum. There is a spe-
cial form for addressing superiors and
one for addressing interiors. The
standard test is the language of the up
per classes in the capital. When an
American gentleman arrived in Japan he
stopped at an English hote', where he
supposed they would have servants who
could speak English. Early in the morn
ing, as is the custom with the country,
the servant came gently to his room,
bringing toast and tea. The native en-
tered the room so noiselessly that the
travellers wife was frightened out of her
wits, and sought refuge beneath the bed
clothes, with a smothered scream. The
husband turned to the servant and asked
him the time of day. lie looked puz-
zled, and, Selling the mans shoes, car
ried them below for polishing. When
he returned the guest repeated the ques-
ton, when the native lodged out and
soon returned with some glasses of water.
In no hotel in Japan did he find servants
able to speak English intelligently. -

A Curious Electric Current.

An unusual and very interesting phe-
nomenon occurred near Frankfort, d.
T., recently. in the form OF an atmos
pheric electric current Of considerable
power. AS observed there, the current
did not reach the ground, but varied in
distance from fur to six feet from it. 1t
was first noticed by the peculiar effect it
had on horses and cattle. A buzzing
sound was heard from around the ears of
fIimals-similar to that made by the
swarming of bees-distinctly audible at
a distance Of several feet. Horses and
mules threw their heads around in a very
excited manner, acting as though their
ears were full of flies. The swapping Of
electric sparks was also heard. Horses
which kept their heads close to the
ground were not troubled, as the cur
rent did not seem to reach down to them.
Many teams became frantic and uncOn.
trollable. One horse was so frightened
that it fell, and tried to creep under its
mate for protection, oxen also behaved
in a very unreasonable and sprightly
manner. Farmers were frightened and
hurried to the barn with all possible
speed. Finally a brief thunder shower
came up, aud the flash of lightning af-
forded immediate relief. The current
flowed from west to east, and was six or
seven miles in width.

the door post and stuck a calf's tail into
it, with the bushy end Haunting out.
After a while he noticed a grave-looking
person standing near the door. with
spectacles on, gazing iptently at the sign.
So long did he gaze that finally the tan
ner stepped out and addressed the indi-
vidual:
