Grafting-wax is generally used for
covering the wounds made in grating.
A good grafting-wax is one that will
not become too soft in summer, so as
to melt and run down the stock, or so
hard in winter as to crack and split of.
A very reliable grafting-waX is made
by melting together four parts (by
weighD of resin, two parts of beeswax
and one part of tallow. When we'll
melted pour into pail of cold water,
grease the hands slightly, and pull the
wax until 1t is about the color of pulled
molasses-candy. Make into balls, and
store for use. This wax should be
warmed when applied. If it is too
hard, more tallow and less resin may
be used.
Clay is frequently used for covering
wounds made by grating, and gives
quite as good results as any of the
wakes if properly applied. For this
purpose some very tenacious clay

third fresh cow-dung and little plas-
terer's hair. The whole mass should
be thoroughly worked over before US

Cleft-grafting is very common form
of grating, and is more universally
known and used than any other. 1t is
commonly performed to change the
bearing of apple, plum and various
other trees and plants. 1t Is generally
the most practical method to use on
branches two or three inches in dame
ter, but 1t also works we'll on quite
small stocks
Cleft-grafting Is performed as fol-
lows: The place selected for the in
sertion of the scion should be where
the grain of the wood is straight. The
stock is then cut square off with a
sharp saw, and is split through its CEN
ter with grafting-chisel to depth
sufficient to allow the scion to be put
, in place. The cleft Is held open by, the
chisel until the scion Is cut and insert
ed, when the wedge is withdrawn, al
lowing the stock to close on the scion
and so hold it in place. If the stock
does not spring back so as to hold the
scion firmly, 1t should be tightly drawn
together with string. The number
of scions inserted will depend upon the
stock. If the stock Is not over three
fourths of an inch in diameter, one
scion is enough to insert, but on larger
stocks two may be put in. All the cut
surfaces, including the ends of the
scions, should now be covered with
wax The scion to be inserted in cleft
grating should be cut wedge-shaped
lengthwise.-Farm and Fireside.

Purpose of Pruning Grapes.

The purpose of pruning is to leave
only a sufficient number of buds on
canes of the current seasons growth
to give such an amount of fruit the
coming season as the age and strength
of the vine can support. Pruning
should be varied somewhat to suit the
habits of the different varieties. The
stronger growing sorts should have
more wood allowed them than the
weaker ones. The vines should not
be allowed to bear much fruit until
strong enough to grow vigorous canes
with strong laterals. Thrifty laterals
develop fruit buds near the base.
These laterals are cut back to from
four to six buds. depending ON the
age and strength OF the vine. Allow
rs much fruit to set as the vine can
support and grow to perfection.---

GLAD HE MISSED THE MARK
When Representative Jenkins, of Wis
consin, Shot at Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee.

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and Representa-
tive w. A. Jones, of Virginia, were in
the house gallery the other day when a
messenger came to ask Gen. Lee if he
would be willing to go to the room of
the judiciary committee to meet Rep
resentative jenkins, of Wisconsin, re-
lates the Washington Post.
The request was entirely agreeable
to Gen. Lee, and a few minutes later
he and Mr.. Jenkins were shaking
hands and looking cordially into each
others faces.
Il saw you once a good many years
ago" said Mr.. Jenkins. Gen. Lee re-
marked that he did not recall the
event.
"It was near Brandy Station" con-
tinued Mr.. jenkins. You were. riding
at the head of a column of men,
mounted on a gray horse and wearing
black plume in your hat"
'Oh, yes" said Gen. Lee, recalling
the army movements in that vicinity.

kins. you didn't even know the
Yankees were near We were posted
out in the woods, and, as | saw you
riding by, aimed my musket as care

chagrined then to note that you rode
on, your black plume still waving, but
am very glad now that the buller
missed its mark"
Gen. Lee, too, expressed his gratih-
cation that jenkins on that occasion
proved a poor marksman, and the two
adjourned to the senate restaurant
where the battle of Brandy Station
was fought over again, and the entente
cordiale firmly established.

"It was in the forenoon that we
started out. and as it had been long,

house we came to and get dinner,

so hospitable and prompt a hostess,

teous feast, and ranged about it were
those good-ooking girls ready TO wait
upon us.

LAS to what that solitary advance
courier was, leaving his footprints in
the mud, we never knew. We never
saw him, and it was impossible that he
should see hide or hair of lis or know
anything about us. His stopping at
the house and ordering, in lofty sort
of way, the preparation of dinner for
IS men was merely freak on his part.
We were much obliged to him, how
ever, and were thankful that the peo-
pie at the plantation had not improved
the time in sending out word to Joe
Wheeler's cavalry of our expected ar
rival"

KEEPS WARTIME VALENTINE
Iowa Veteran of the Civil War Treas
ures a Token Received in
the Trenches.

In the trenches at Fort Donaldson, 42
years ago, David L. Houser, of Iowa City,
Ia, received the valentine which he so
proudly exhibits to-day. And the north
ern girl whose warm heart led her to
send it is to-day Mrs. Houser, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
The story of the valentine is the story
of romance of nearly half a century.
Several years before the civil war broke
childish way had loved each other. BY
the time that the war was declared David
Houser was old enough to enlist and
with the girls promise seurely locked in
his heart he started for the front.
For a year he received letters regu-
larly and then they ceased to come. In
some manner, though he did not know it
at the time, his address had been lost
st. Valentines day, 1862, found him in
the thick of the fight near Fort Donald
son, Respondent and hopeless, and no
news from home or sweetheart. That
day brought him the valentine.
The valentine itself is quaint, old
fashioned affair, but it expresses the
same sentiments as its modern brother
Still fresh and bright as the day it was
sent, though the envelope which has
sheltered 1t for SO long is yellow with
age, it is war memento that Mr.. Houser
values many times more than anything
else in his possession.
Mr. Houser states that on the day on

had rained hard all morning, the water
freezing to the clothes of the soldier
boys. The men were allowed to have nc
fire in the trenches, but could leave in
squads and cook their rations. Despite
all of these difficulties the mail was de-
liYered even to the men on the outposts

spring, they should always be cut late
in the fall. Spring-cut scions may often
be used successfully but it is not safe
to trust to them, especially if when cut
