Agricultural. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Grafting Wax. About this season of the year not a few of your agricultural readers will be looking over their papers for a good recipe for grafting wax. Here is one which they can paste in their scrapbook: Resin, four parts; beeswax, two parts; tallow, one part. In preparing the mixture have the ingredients clean and pure, heat them together over a slow fire and stir thoroughly. After a halfhour pour it out into cold water preparatory to working it as you would molasses candy. When grafting in cool * weather keep the wav in warm water when not in use. Grafting is a simple process and is such an excellent method of replacing poor, undesirable fruit with ?t>uu mat every luruier siiuu;u jiiA.iac ; it. It may be done now at any time.? Farm, Field and Utociman. Green Peas for the Table. Farmers, of all others, should have a succession of the choicest vegetables. If j they fail in this, as so mauy do, they do ! not improve their privileges as they j ought and might just about as well Jive ! in the crowded city as on the farm. The j ?reen pea season on mo>t farms is shor- ' tencd too much, and on some it never, ccmesat alL To have peas four or five I : ?* weeks requires three varieties. Two | early and one late should be sown, and | with two or more plantings of these. For j the very earliest a smooth, early variety j may be planted, as these are more hardy j than the sweeter wrinkled sorts. Then a week or ten days later plant the early | wrinkled sorts like Little Gem, and at the same time Champion of England. This last is a tall, late variety, and the j three nlantinsrs will keet? a succession I for fufly three weeks. A second plant- j ing of both the early and late varieties j may be made ten days later, and these j will generally escape mildew. If planted i after the soil becomes heated the mildew attacks the vine and ruins it before the peas are large enough to use.?New York Berdll. Water in Milk. Does it pay to run water through the j cow and pay for it in the form of milk? I Plainly the solids are what give value to the milk. The water is not improved by being passed through the system of the cow. We can get abundance of it without this expensive process. The nutri-1 tive elements in milk are the casein, the fat, the sugar and the ash. The more of these there are?the greater the per cent. \ of solids?the more valuable the milk for human food; and all these constitu- ! ents are available when consumed in its natural state, as it comes from the cow. There is a great waste in making it into butter or cheese?but less in the . latter than the former. The only good j excuse for makiDg raiiK into tnese ?>roducts is the impossibility of keeping t in its natural state, and the relish we i have acquired for these extracts from milk?for they really are extracts. But | the solids being the nutrition nearly all: water is discarded. The aim, therefore, j should be to produce milk containing as large a per cent, of solids as possible. ; These vary from 10 per cent, in some milk, to 20 per cent, in others; but the usual range is 12 to 15 per cent., 3 to 4 j per cent, of which should be fat.? J Prmirie Farmer. "Lumpy Land." A New York farmer says: There is no ; land arable that will break up in lumps ; * when first brought under cultivation, but all heavy soil will become hard and ; tenacious if plowed or trodden when J wet, or if exhausted of humus or vegeta ble matter. But when lands are left xn clods after the plow it is often a tedious labor to bring the surface into good tilth in a dry season. I have used several implements for such work, but none were effective without much labor. A heavy iion roller, small in diumeter, or a small! log roller of hard wood loaded heavily, and followed with a sharp Scotch harrow, is about as effective as anything I have tried; a large drum roller has but1 little effect,as it brings too much surface to the ground. A fluted or spiked iron roller is doubtless best, but 1 have not used it. Kol'ing and harrowiHg must j be repeated till the lumps are reduced. A log drag, constructed by splitting an ( oak log about six feet long, and bolting : a tongue on the flat side and dragging it on me rounu siae, is enecuve; aiso a f)lank drag made of three heavy planks j apped, one some six inches upon the - other, and bolted together, with a tongue : 80 attached as to bring the three corners ; of the planks to the ground, will do ef- i fective work after the large clods are broken. i The disc harrow, if the lumps are not too hard, will do good work; but by, whatever means it may be done, much labor is requiied to bring such land into j a condition for the seed. I have sometimes found it necessary to bre.ik lumps j with a beetle, or an old dull axe, which ' is as good, when only some spots in a field were lumpy. In a field I was fitting i for wheat, a few years ago, was a comer of about one acre, of heavy clay soil, and having been ploughed in spring rather j wet, it broke up when dry so coarse that j harrow or roller ^would make little iui- ! pression upon it. I set one man to work j breaking lumps with an old a>e and others lolling and harrowing after; in J about two or three hours the plot was made fine and sown to wheat, which pro-1 duced as good a crop as any part of the j field, yielding throughout about thirty- j five bushels per acre. I have known f^ood crops of wheat to grow on ground eft very lumpy,the lumps b?ing dissolved by the frosts of winter, giving a fine 1 mellow soil for the summer's growth: j but a thorough farmer prefers to get a fine seedbed before sowing the seed, j which is always for spring crops a neces- j sity, and for winter wheat better.?New York Tribune. Feeding Bees in Spring. It is an old saying and a true one, that it t* :es more honey to spring bees than to winter them. The only opportunity /nr nnttlnrr fliintro tn rirrhfo for Qnrinff *v\ f"-?<? 8' ? ~r\~e> I is during those line days when the bees : are flying freely, as it is very damaging i to handle them at any time dining cola weather. It is always very troublesome j to furnish feed to bees in mid winter. Yet, if we have neglccted the matter in j autumn, we can still provide for them, | but in a different ma-iner. It wiil not; do to feed liquids of any kind during winter. The feed must be supplied in the form of good, well sealed combs of honey, or candy made from the best quality of sugar. This candy is as good in every respect as honey, and many think better. It is made by boiling granulated sugar to which water has been added, and molding; it into cakes or slabs of any desired form. This is placed on top of the frames of comb, where the bees have access to it at all times. A heavy packing must be ap plied outside the entire hive to economize the heat, so that the bees may clutter about the candy. If this matter is properly attended to at this important period, the bees will need but little attention until warm weather, when we can safely feed syrups of j any kind. From early spring until the honey-flow, it pay* well to feed every j colony a little daily, even if they have I abundance of honey in the hive. It! stimulates brood rearing, and it is only , by such judicious feeding that we can 1 bring a colony up to the highest condi-' tion. It is from such that we reap the j richest reward during the honey season, j Such colonies are usually ready to swarm two weeks earlier than others, and powerful swarms result instead of "hatfulls." j Whether bees are wintered in cellars or i in ch?lf hives, they should remain in , their winter quarters until settled warm i weather comes in, which may be from \ the middle to the Inst of April, and some- j Jmoc nuor, iQti?r TKin in an imDortant ! VTVU 4"vv* - 1 j matter to beginners especially, as the veteran has learned probably from sad j experience. Eees may be in the best pos- ( sible condition, but if exposed outside too early, and caught in cold snaps, | spring dwindling will be almost sure to follow. Bees, when wintered in cellars, are much worse in this respect than those packed outside. In replacing1 bees upon their summer stands from the cellar, a fine day should be choscn, and but few colonies set out at once. These should be allowed to take a flight before setting ; out others, as too mfcny flying become j confused.? A. H. Duff, in American Ag- \ Farm and Garden Notes. Bone-meal is said to be a perfect fer tilizer for oats and millet. Many a farmer pays large sums for j fertilizers, while he allows his own barn- i yard to run to waste. Use the smoothing harrow broadcast on the crop before the weeds appear, and j harrows and ci^tivators afterward. Work done in season always brings | better results than when it is postponed ; beyond the proper time, for it is then j apt to become a fruitless task. Irregular feeding will do more to cause 1 cows to dry off than any other method, I while the practice of it is extravagant, i inducing waste and loss of time. Raw meat chopped fine and fed once a I day?about one pound of lean meat to I fifteen hens?will produce more eg<rs ! than any other food'that can be given I It has been well said that one of the ! great drawbacks to beginners in poultry-raising is the attempt to keep fifty fowls in a house or lot none too large for twenty-five. The farmer who has a lot of turnips, carrots, beets, pumpkins, and potatoes stored away can greatly economize in food, as well as rival those who have a supply of ens:lage. The apple moth, 3Ir. Andrew S. Fuller | says, is properly called codlin, not codling. 'Codling is a little codfish, and coalin is a little apple, hence the difference in derivation of the two words." A prominent poultry-raiser says that three thousand hens, cared for in a proper manner, will show an annual profit of $2000. We would like the secret of the method, if three thousand hens are to be kept together. One way of preserving eggs is to use wood ashes, Pack the eggs in a box, without allowing them to touch each other, small end downward, and use plenty of ashes. Sawdust or sand, if perfectly dry, will do as well. Inflammation is apt to spread from one eye to another, and if due to any wrong condition of the stable, as dampness or co!d, it may spread to other horses. Give a pound of Epsom salts, and blow a little burned alum into the eye through a quill. There is nothing handier than a bale or two of wire netting for making a temporary yard for a flock of fowls. Drive down stout stakes, unroll the netting and , tack it to the stake with inch-clout nails. [ It is very quickly done by two persons ' working together. We have often done ! it without assistance. A fancier says that the Muscovy duck j grows large, and both the Muscovy and j .Poland are easy to raise. They require but littie water, and both are excellent for the table, the Muscovy quite equal to a turkey in si/.e, and superior in Quality of meat. A fancier is off as regards size, and to our taste quite as much so in edible quality of flesh. Mutton should be as plentiful as pork. There are hundreds of farms that could be devoted to sheep, but which are now unprofitable. It requires less la'jor for c-VifKon fnr liAcra virVnln thn nrinpQ fnr i a"vvK -? 1 -7 choice mutton and lamb are at time3 very high, though the markets at such times may be well supplied with inferior grades of carcasses. Good milk can be produced only from good clean food and clean water. If ; these be impure the milk must partake i of their i mpurities. Cabbage and tur- j nips must be fed with care, else they ' make the milk have a bad taste. Now, j just as they influence the milk, so docs j any objectionable drink. To save dish : water, it might be fed to pigs or growing heifers, or to dry cows, but not those yielding milk. There is manurial value in dish water, and it is profitably applied to the garden or truck patch, or it may be thrown on the manure pile. Salt Dnst of the Sea. While voyaging from Australia to j New Zealand, one of the passengers, a I lady, complained that the dust of the , sea canssa her eyes to smart, and had i also soiled her clothing. She was J laughed at by the other passengers, who | ius;stea mat mere couia De no uust at sea. "They were mistaken," says Mr. Ba'lou, who tells the incident in a liock of travel. "There is a salt dust which rises from the spray, and impregnates everything, eveu filling one's mouth with j a saline taste. "While the sun shines, j this deposit, like the dew oo land, is ! less active and perceptible; bit to walk, the deck at night is to become covered with a thin coating of (-alt dust, so tine as to be hnrdly noticeable, but which in time brcomes sufficiently crystalized to be obvious to the eye. The dust of the sea is no fable. The officer who stands his night-watch on the bridge will testify to this fact; and his cabin "steward will tell you that he has often to resort to something more potent than a whiskbroom to cleanse clothing which has been exposed to sea-dust." A Cnrlon* Cure for Drunkenness. Dr. J. B. Mes8emer, in his capacity as Coroner, has had experience with m;iny i who never stopped drinking. As a physician he stops many who want to stop. "I have a sure care," said he. "It never fails. Put into the liquor of a man whom you want to reform a live eel. Leave it there until it dies. Then take it out. One drink of that liquor will nauseate the most inveterate toper. He will never take a second drink. I don't pretend to explain how or why; I only know that it is bo. Many a suffering mother in Israel will rise up and call that eel blessed if they only try it. Of course the man need not know the trick. Oi:e drink of the liquor, however, will cure him forever."?New York Graphic,. HOUSEHOLD MATTERS Breakfast, Dinner and Tea. What do I want for breakfast, dear? My wants are all in my mind quite clear.

There is no need whatever of running to the druggist and buying lime water every time it is needed. And, by the way, it is very useful to have in the house in case of sour stomach, etc. A teaspoonful of it with half a pint of milk will often make the milk quite digestible, when without the lime water, it might sour and produce colic, or distress in the stomach. To make lime water, get a lump of good unslaked lime, the size of a lien's egg, or larger; put it in an oia pitcher and pour on a pint or so of water. As soon as it is slaked and cool enough, stir it with a spoon or stick and pour off the principal part of the milky tluid into a pint or quart bottle, leaving the dregs in the pitcher to be thrown away. Cork the bottle well and let it stand quiet. In a few hours the lime will settle to the bottom, except what is dissolved in the clear water above it, and this water will nearly always be of uniform strength. When used down so that it cannot be poured off without stirring the bottom, add more water, shake the bottle, cork it well, and let it again settle for use. Cnce a year or so, make a up a new lot as at first. Lime the size of an egg will be enough for a good many quarts of lime water, which will practically cost nothing. At the ordinary temperature of 00 degrees, a pint of clear lime water contains only <J j grains of lime. (A pound is 7000 grains.) Lime water is a little antac.d, and a little tonic also.?Prairie Farmer. PaaImao Fried Tomatoes.?Take cold tomatoes that have been stewed, add more seasoning if desired, one egg, and sufficient bread-crumbs to make into round cake9 and fry brown in drippings; or the uncooked cauned tomatoes may be seasoned and thickened with bread-crumbs, and then dipped in egg and bread-crumbs and fried. Egg Salad.?Put the crisp leaves of a head of lettuce in a salad bowl, and add four slice.l hard-boiled eggs. Sprinkle a dozen minced capers over the whole, and add a plain dressing made of one saltspoon salt, one fouiih saltspoon pepper, one tablespoon oil. Mix and add to salHd, toss the lettuce lightly and add one tablespoon of vinegar; serve. Sweet Pear Preserves.?For each pound of fruit take one-half pound of sugar.

"When sealing the preserves, if there is too much syrup, bottle for pudding sauce. Plum Tart.?Stonfi some plums and stew them for an hour, with plenty of sugar and half a tumblerful of water. Jlake a short paste with the white of one and the yolks of three eggs, an ounce of butter, an ounce of sugar, a pinch of salt, a little water and flour. Roll it out to the thickness of a penny piuce, line a mold with it, uniting the joints with white of egg, fill it with rice and bake it. "When done remove the rice, put it in the stewed fruit and serve. Fresh Peach Jelly.?Peel and slice ripe peaches enough to heap a quart bowl. Melt an ounce of gelatine over the fire in half a cup of water; while it is melted, nress the peaches through a sieve with a potato-masher. Mix the melted gelatine with the peaches, add a cupful of powdered sugar, and beat the mixture with an egg-whip until it begins to stiffen. Then pour it into a tin mold, or earthen bowl, rubbed with salad oil, and set it in the refrigerator for three or four hours. Turn it from the mold before serving. Half a pint of cream whipped to a stiff froth and mixed in at the same time with the gelatine makes the d sh exceedingly delicate and nourishing; but with the cream added, the jelly must be used the same day it is made.

The young man fell dead! A friend bad pointed a revolver at him. "He didn't know it was loadedl" We often hear it stated that a man is not responsible for what he does not know. The law presupposes knowledge and therefore convicts the man who excuses crime by ignorance! " If I had only known" has often been an unfortunate man's apology for some evil unknowingly wrought, but in a matter of general interest?as for instance that laudanum is a poison, that naphtha is a doadly explosive, that blood heavily charged with a winter's accumulations of the waste of the svstem, it is one's duty to know the fact and the consequences thereof.

Hence, without exception, what is now known as Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla was plentifully made and religiously given to every member of the family regularly through March, April, May and June. It is a matter of record that this prudential, preventive and restorative custom saved many a fit of sickness, prolonged life and happiness to vigorous old age, and did away with heavy medical expenditures. v Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington, Ky., used Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla "for nervous sick headache of which I had been a sufferer for years. It has been a great benefit to me." Capt Hugh Harkins, 1114 S. 15th ; St, Philadelphia, Pa., says "it purified my blood and removed the blotches from my skin." Mrs. Aarea Smith, Topton. Berks Co., Pa., says she " was entirely cured of a skin disease of the worst kind," by Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. Bad skin indicates a very bad condition of the blood. If you would live and be well, go to your druggist to-day and get Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no other,?there's nothing like it or as good,?and completely renovate your impaired system with this simple, old-fashioned preparation of roots and herbs. Warner, who makes the famous Safe Cure, puts it up, and that is a guarantee of excellence all over the known world. Take it yourself and give it to the other members of the family, including the children. You will be astonished at ite health-giving and lifeprolonging powers. We say this editorially j with perfect confidence, because we have j beard "good things of it everywhere, and its name is a guarantee that it is first-class in every particular.
