A fi ft IC C L T U RA L. Graining. Every farmer should learn to do his own grafting, It is a very easy operation when •nee understood. A sharp penkinfo and a good fine saw are indispensable. Splitting the stock so that the bark ehall not be bruised and shaping the scion wedge-fashion both ways, preserving also the bark uninjured—and placing the rim of the wood of both stock and scion exactly together, so that tho sap can intermingle—there is no danger -of failure if properly waxed. We make a shoulder to the graft and thinkjit adds to the certainty of success, though probably weakens it. We pre- . fer also two eyes or buds to a graft, and would rather have only one than more than two. One year's wood ehould always be used when it can be obtained, as it is more certain to take and grow more vigorously. We wish to remind those about preparing grafting wax that we have found four parts of resin, one part of beeswax, and one part of beet tallow, to be the best proportions. Melt them in a skillet (which is the best), or a cup, and mix well. It should remain in the vessel and be used as needed. . Twenty or thirty scions can be waxed with.one heating-up. When much grafting is to be done, ai. little fire for heating the wax should be made on the spot, between two bricks or stones. We have seen various prepratrons formaking grafting wax, and we believe we have tri?d them all, but prefer our own. Applying warm or hot, does no injury to the grpft. The object to attain in the proportion is that the wax will not crack in cool, dry weather, or run in warm weather. April is the best time to graft.— Germantown {Pa.) Telegraph. , Whitewash. Take a clean, water tight barrel, or other ■uitable cask and put into it half a bushel •slime. Shake if pouring water over it, boiling hot, and a sufficient quantity to cover it five inches deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly slaked. When the slaking has has been effected, dissolve it in water, and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc, and one of .common salt. These will cause the wash to harden, and prevent its cracking, which gives an unseemly.appearance to the work. If desirable, a beautiful cream color may be added to the above wash, by adding three pounds of yellow ochre; or a good pearl or lead color, by the addition of lamp vise or ivory black. For fawn color, add four pounds of umber—Turkish or American, the latter is the cheapest—one pound Indian red ■and one pound common lamp black. For common stone color, add four pounds umber and two pounds lamp black. This wash may beapp’.ied with a common whitewash brush, and will be found superior both in appearance and durability, to common whitewash.

Many a person has seen a pet canary or other bird in a state of perturbation, plucking at himself continually, his feathers standing all wrong. In vain his food changed, and in vain is a saucer of clean water always kept in. his cage. This cause of his wretchedness has not been found out. If the owner of a petin such difficulties will take down the cage and look up to the roof thereof, there will most likely be seen a mass of stuff like red rust. That red rust is nothing more or less than myriads of parasistes infesting the bird, and for which water is no remedy. By procuring a lighted candle and holding it under every particle of the top of the cage till all chance of anything being left alive is gone the remedy is complete. The pet will soon brighten up again after hi» “house warming.” Fat Cattle.—The Springfield (Mass.) Republican has the following account of some remarkable specimens of fat cattle raised in that State. Three pairs of cattle, fattened by Boswell Hubbard of Hatfield, were sold in the Cambridge market, Wettes day, for nearly 51,800. The largest ox lacked but 90 pounds of 3,000, and the pairs weighed, each, 5,705 and 4,790 pounds. They were the finest cattle in the Cambridge yards, and have not been surpassed by any received this season. One of a pair of five years old cattle weighing nearly 6,000 pounds, fattened by the Fitch Brothers of Hatfield; was so unfortunate as to slip on the scales while being weighed a few days since, and it was found necessary to slaughter him. The ox weighed dressed 2,331 pounds and over 200 pounds of rough tallow.

— — — . Planting Potatoes- —Instead of planting J whole potatoes, large or small, it is better to < use good-sized seed,cut to twoeyes and plant { one in a hill. More seed will make a supera ; bundance of tops, and many small potatoes, i In preparing the land, it should be plowed 1 rather deep in the spring, and harrowed as level as possible, then make it out about three feet apart in rows one way with a plow, marking the furrows fonr to six inches deep. Drop the seed, one piece with two eyes, from twelve to fifteen inches apart, in the rows, and cover with a light plow, four to six inches deep. Cultivate clean, and apply paster and ashes; let not a weed grow. An enterprising farmer of Belgium has devoted a farm to hen keeping. He has an immense yard, filled with two thousand fowls, for which he purchased weekly two or three horses, which are cut up and boiled. The broth goes to fatten a hundred hogs, the flesh Is chopped up for the hens, and the bones are sold to' the sugar refiners to make charcoal. The eggs are sent to England, and the hens follow them, when no longer profitable for laying. _ ... yy-o— Henry Ward Beecher will not go to Palestine,
