The accompanying figures present an

years ago. says the Country Gentleman.
but which appears to have become little
known and is still adopted by few. The
instrument by which it is performed
being quite peculiar in its simple con-
struction and not manufactured by any
one for sale, is doubtless the reason that
grafters have rarely brought it into use.
With nursery-men it would not be gen.
orally required. as their work is mostly
applied to small seedlings with what is
termed whip-grafting, while this mode
more properly belongs to the stock
grating in the nursery row of such
stocks as may have made growth of an
inch more or less in diameter. It has
proved specially useful in grating the
cherry, and as proof of its efficiency
and value we have grated two-Year

is charming companion, and they are
married and live happily together Do

After some years Youwarkee, the wife,
decides to visit her father, and finds
when she does SO that the appearance OF
her husband was the subject of an old
prophecy, its further burden being that
he should deliver the kingdom, OF
which Youwarkee is subject from the

cordingly Peter Wilkins is sent Tor ana

lives until he becomes an old man,
teavhing the Glums and Gawries his

much that is valuable and strange.
Many of these. the chief points of the

in Fig. having been wedged open and
inserted, in Fig. 4. forming a perfect
union by contact through the whole
length of the cleft. It is hardly neces-
sary to inform any one who has ever set
graft that the line of union between
the bark and wood should coincide in
both stock and graft. as shown in Fig. s..
The grafting-shears, on which the sue
cess of this operation depends, may be
easily made by any ingenious mechanic.
The cutting-blade. A, may be riveted to
the iron handle, may be two and half
inches long, and will be about right in
breadth if cut from the broad blade Of q
common table knife. 1t should form an
angle with the handle of about one hum
dred and twenty degrees. This angle
is necessary, in order to give it the draw
cut as it approaches the concave bed, C..
The handle on which this concave bed
is cut is entirely of one piece 81 wood,
Of hard and nonsplitting kind, out Of
which it is cut. The pivot on which
these two portions Of the shears move
must be set a short distance from the
angle, in order to obtain the draw-cut
this distance being correctly represented
in the figure. This simple instrument
will enable the CRATER to set CRAFTS
nearly twice as rapidly as with q knife
in the common way.
One Of the difficulties in grating in
the common way, comes from the un-
even and split surfaces caused in making
the cleft, and this difficulty is increased
when the stock is hard wood Of irregu-
lar or crooked growth.
If the cut is made with a very sharr
and thin blade, the difficulty is les
sened; and If the edge of the blade
presents the uneven shape shown in
Fig. 1t cuts inward toward the center
of the stock on both sides. and is less
apt to split it. The blade should be
broader and thinner than the cut seems
to represent The point, made Of good
steel, is used as wedge for opening the
cleft, and ii placed at the junction OF
the blade and handle, it will more
nearly balance the instrument and pre-
vent it from falling out of the cleft
while setting the graft.
Both this and the shears are of great
value in regrafting and changing the
tops of any fruit trees from poor to ex-
cellent varieties, but the gratis set
with the aid of the shears will be more
certain to succeed if the latter are we'll
made and work we'll.

constructed that the thin cutting-blade
A makes a draw-cut or saving motion
as it approaches the wooden cavity or
furrow c by the closing of the handles.
This gives it strong cutting power, and
if the operator will press the tree slight
~ from him with his left hand
as he applies the shears with
his right hand, a tree an inch
or more in diameter will be cut
squarely of with as much ease as q
jack-knife will cut carrot Another
stroke of the cutting-blade will make
the cleft for the insertion of the graft.
This cleft being thus smoothly cut in
stead of being split as in common graft
ing, admits a perfect contact or joint
with the graft and the smooth surface
of the cleft, and renders the union and
success more perfect. To make this ex-
PLANTATION more plain, we represent in
the figures the common mode Of cleft
grating, the smooth-cut (thus made)

the Philadelphia Times has the following
alleged trustworthy news: "A close and
intimate friend OF Blaine is said to have
asked him quite recently whether he would
under any circumstances be o candidate
for the presidency in 1ss2, or whether he
would allow his friends TO push his cause
before the national conyen ion. The Sec
retary in reply declared in the most posi-
tive way that he had no intention Of be-
coming presidential candidate, and did
not care to pose even as possibility. He
had no doubt his friends would be de-
lighted TO bring his name before the con-
vention at q single word from him. but he
added emphatic2liy that be did not iD
tend to give that word.
This news has created considerable dis

In this connection one OF Biaine's closest
allies in congress said today thai in his
opinion the recent attitude OF Republicans
on the tariff and election bills had rnuch to
do with the secrefary's dissemination.
