From the Ohio Parmer. On Grafting. Go to your nursery any timo from this until buds begin to swell and dig up any kind of small root which you intend for grafting, if you have no nursery go to your fruit trees or to those of your neighbors and dig up the scion?, this last plan is not a good one for scions will eternally throw up scions but it is better than not to havo goodfriut; when you have dug these roots tako them to tho house, put on a bencli or on old table,

tlicn select your grutts from bearing trees, if convenient, for in so doing you will not bo cheated in the fruit let these grafisbc of tho last year' wood, and let only 2 eyes or buds bo on each graft, theso may be cut any timo when the jnp U not in motion; put these grafis on your table by tho side of your roots; then get some tow, or tho iiib'dc bail; of tho Mulberry or slippery Klin tree, put that on the table; then take beet-wax and tallow of equal parts, melt it and let it cool, put thi on your table; pre pare jourself with a sharp knife and a fine ir.iw, then take your chair and f it down by your table out of doors if you please or by the file if it bo very

colu J ake a root, cut oil nil roots that havo been injured by digging; cut elf all tho small roots or fibres those never grow but greatly tend to retard the growth of the tree; the Fcion iu which you graft iuut be cut olVcven with tho surface of tho

ground us it stood before digging, let it bo a little

sloped as you cut oil the top, th 11 enter your kmfo

bud must bo on tho side of the wedgo near tho up

per end ol the wedge and when it is inserted this bud will be near tho upper end of your root, tho reason for doing this is, the bark near tho bud is twice an thick as any other place, consequently has a better chance for uniting with tho root, when you insert your graft into your root, mind that tltc inside lark of the root and graft exactly ma t cachm I mean ou tho side of the root graft that you split and whittled v.i'.'u such care, the other sides

"Well thomehow or other," said tho urchin with a scowl, "I can't ethackly git tho iiaxc of this crc uew school house."

so new the upper end of the graft will bo very apt to die before it vcgetaK s: this becs-wax will remain there until the end of the graft is completely healed over, tho hotest sun in July will not melt it. When you have done grafting for the day you may lay your grafts in the cellar or any moist 'place, and there they may lie with perfect safety for two months if neccFsaiy.at all events let them remain there until the ground is in good order for planting which will be when it is rmvon tho top, no other timo i.s 11 proper timo to plant any thing When

you set them in tho nursery put then; root and graft into the ground so deep that the top of tho graft shall be exactly even with tho curPicw of tho ground : it will not bo prudent to press the dill hard about tho graft for fear of loosening tho graft, let the dirt settle of itself and then put ou moro dirt; roots will strike immediately from tho lower bud and you will have a strong handsome tree from tho ground up, Jet them Hand two years in tho nursery, two years in the orchard and you will Jnvo rood
