WAX AND MoRan ron WouNKs raf'ting wax which I have been suc :essfuI with for over forty years is waade )I lve parts, by weight, of resin, two )arts of beeswax (to give it body to 'tand the heat of summer), two parts of eef ormmutton tallow, or a pint of lii weed oil, or o-iotogh of the latter or either > the former to make the compounid lliable when applied with the fingers o the grafts or wounds; thus it can be (ept at the same tellperature of the ilnds while applying It. The process >f making Is the same as that of shoe maker's wax. This compound, you )ercelve, is partly vegetable and partly nimal. Ti[ere can be no grafting ma ,erial m1111ade so congeinial to the bark of he tree a1s mortar of loam and clay in) qtlal narts, and water enough to bring t to the right consistency, beating nd tempering until it 1e thoroughly ncorporated. It is said that some ise horse manure free from straw, amid omne' add a little hair like that used in >I astering, to prevent cracking. Un loubtedly both horse manure and hair vill pinl the morter together, and imake t, wear well. But [ have always used hat nade of egial parts of common :Any and loam and water by beating L i(d tempering as above described. "ormerly it was applied to the stocks Lind crowns Ol flax or tow as a bandage o cover the mortar, to keep it in place, ti(] to prevent it from washing oil In iowers, but now we use old calico for andages lin strips say two or three nehlles wide and twelve or more Inches oig. The mortar Is applied with a voOden paddle or trowel to one end of he bandage in a bumich without spread ng, large enough to cover the stock, tind then applied by pressing it over tn(] aroutid the stocks and sielons with ,he hands, and then winding the ban lage neatly around, tucking under end >f the bandage. It can be quickly and teatly done with at little practice. Al ,hotigh grafting wax Is in general use, meause of its easy application, facts (10 lot prove that it Is congenial to the )ark of fruIt trees. The fact Is that oils i fats, also vegetable dtrying oils, are inore or less injulirious to the severed >ark of' the stock which absorbs them, yonsequently the bark is unable to nake a lip or layer of wood and bark >ver the would, a when clay mortar is tpplied ; besides all vegetable oil, when ised in grafting wax made of rosin and lie air, rendering It hard, and thus rowdsi tile scions, p)reventing them na:1kiig wood inwalrd over th'e stock, 'specially If cleft-graftilg is the mode; moimng, vigorous growing trees over omto these bad effects more easily. I hInk there call be no purely vegetable rrafting wax made, as both vegetable ind unmiCtious oils, ar'e a positive injury o the bark of trees; my experience is it favor of the latter in wax compound, f either Is to be uIser. The following 4 highly recommended, but I haven't ried it,!

INI WANTED SOME "SCENEnY."-On ir a traIn coming east over the Central &( Road the other day was a Californian bound for New Jersey, and the trali h had scarcely left Chicago behind when he stopped the conductor and said: "On which side of the cars can I H best see the mountains?" Tle conductor told him that there were no mountains along the route, and B, the man indignantly replied: f " What in blazes did you build the Ix road for? What do you suppose I'm 1 traveling for? This must be a one- of h( horse road if it don't take-iai at least one ca mountain I" P1 lie cooled down after a while, but in dr half an hour lie tackled the brakeman with the query: " Does this road pass by any old ruilns B of interest?" The brakeman couldn't remember any ruins except an old log house here and there, and the Californian was niad in a miniute. " Do you think I shipped on this T road as freia~it or live stock ?" lie called ac out. " If you don't run past any old ruins why don't you say so on your time-cards, and itot be deceiving peo ple?" Ch When the conductor next catne along s the Californian was looking from the window to catch sight of the bridges, tl and lie turned and said: to "If we come to any bridges over eight hundred feet long jist give me the word. I don't care about seeing any shorter ones." The conductor had to admit that the road was trying to get along with a few short bridges, and the passenger bobbed I around in his seat and replied: FI What did you build your old road for? If you haven't any long bridges on the line why didn't you hunt for a no w one?" About thirty miles west of Detroit the Californian caught sight of a lake afar off, and going out on the platform he asked the brakeman: " Don't we run along the shore of - that lake, over there?" "No; we are as near as we shall go." I " You are, oh ? Then that settles this th road with ile I When I come back I'll ride in a lumber wagon I You can take your coniound railroad and cat it, but you can't fool me again.

You look I ke a keen, sharp business man, and I thought I'd ask you what you thought of my going to the next town." " Why--why, go on, of course," stammered tile citizen. C "1 That's your advice, Is it?" contin tied the tramp. "' I shall leave it all to you, and (o just as you say about it. I have every confidence in your jutdg- E ment." X " Yes; I think you can't get out of town too soon." A "And if you were me would you borrow a quarter before you left?" g No; I wouldn't. I wouldn't wait c( for supper.'' "All right--you seem to be a kind hlearted, well-p)ostedl man, andi I will take your adlvlee," quietly observed the tramp, as lhe mloved away.
