Davis, of Lake City, Fla., has an interesting article in the Florida Dis patch on grafting the peach. He says that he has been for more than twenty years en gaged in the culture of the jieach. “My preference,” he says, “is grafting, not bud ding, above ground. Given a healthy stock one year old or ton years old, I can cut off the top and in a single growing season se cure anew top of any desired variety of peach. When the old top is taken off the large wounds have to be coated over with grafting wax anij twigs half the size of the little finger and smaller left to receive the grafts. The small limbs are to be cut smoothly off and split half an inch deep, putting the knife in the centre of the stix-k. Core must be taken to remove any dormant bud on tho stock near where the graft is to be put in. Tho reason for this is that th< wax wrap used iu coating the connecting parts will lie pried loose by any such bud. The grafts need to lie merely short wedges, not having more than two eyes or buds tn each of them. When the end of a graft it cut off a cap of grafting wax must be care fully put over it to keep the sup from drying out. Tiiis is very important. Where the graft is an end piece of the switch it needs no wax cap. Of course it is desirable to have the graft and stock of the same size, but if one lie larger let it be the stock and the hark of tho graft must rest against that of tho stock on one side, or on both sides where the two are of similar size. To in sure growth the end of the stock should be j wrapped with thread before tho wax is put | on. “Grafting wax should be pretty hard to/ our climate. It is made of tar or tu rpentip and wax, with the addition of a little tallcy- It is to bo warmed and worked by the till iu proper case and then put on seemly- It should be hard enough to resist theat till the first of May. “It is to be remembered that peach hafts are not easy to grow. In a sense the/must be compelled to grow. This is al lowing no growth on the stock exeej< in the graft or grafts. I say grafts, became where a largo tree is topped for new' fnif it is de sirable to put in many grafts so to make a fine, symmetrical top in one gasoil. So every bud on the old stock must fe cut away so soon as life is seen in it. “The grafting can be done e soon as the leaves fall from a tree, and oyu a cold win ter following does not appar to do any harm to the grafts. In prod, X had a large tree grafted as here doseri/ed early in tho winter before the groat free®. In the spring the growth was quite satifactory. “Where grafting is dote below the frost line, late iu the fall is < good time, it may be done before tho leave are off young trees and the grafts will begn to grow at once. But a freeze—it so harpened with me—will kill, not only these fal grafts, but the stocks as well. “On the whole, I regard the graft as su perior to a bud, it may be termed a dormant bud. To show mypreferenco for it, in my garden every peach tree but one is a graft. On some trees I have several kinds of peaches. I do not pretend that the wedge graft is the best, but it is simple, and my suroess in its use is so good that no other method appears necessary. ” Salting Butter. The salting of buttor, says a writer in Home and Farm, is a most important ope ration which is too often imperfectly done. Its purpose is two-fold: one to preserve it and the other to flavor it for consumption. Cutter is an exceedingly unstable substance and contains some substances which are easily decomposed. It is impossible to free it wholly from the acid of the buttermilk; the lactic acid which is formed by the de composition of the milk sugar through the influence of the easeine of the milk. This caseine, which is the substance of which cheese consists in greater part, has a jiecu liar chemical action upon tho sugar of the milk and through the effect of exposure to the air, requires the property of transform ing this sugar in lactic acid. At the same time this lactic acid begins to undergo an other transformation and, with the fatty matters of the butter, combines to form butyric acid. This acid, when it exists in a proportion, gives to the butter its it'li, agreeable, nutty flavor. It is the pro duction of this acid by decomposition which is called the ripening of butter, but by longer koeping this deconqiositioii goes too fur and results in tho strong, disagreeable flavor and odor which wo call rancidity. Halt is used to control this chemical action and prevent tho decomposition from going bjb far. But salt will not produce this de sired result unless the butter is properly prepared for it; nor if the salt is impure; nor unless it is thoroughly incorporated with the butter so that every particle of it is brought into contact with the salt. These three points deserve particular considera tion. When butter is churned it must be washed thoroughly with puro water immediately. Here, again, uro three special jsiints to lie noted. The churning of the butter must lie stopped us soon as it is completed; otherwise serious damage is done and it can never bo wholly freed from the buttermilk. Tho churning is completed when the butter is termed into granules as large us grains of " heat and [>eas. The effect is best produced m those churns without dashes, ns tho rec tangular churn which bus been previously described; but a good dash churn will bo •flute ns effective if it is well managed. 1 hose butter granules separated from the buttermilk are thoroughly washed with pure water until it passes off clear without any stain of milk. Thojwatcr must be pure. If it contains limestone as most hard water does, the butter is not so good and will not keep as wall. If this thorough washing Is not done as soon as the butter is brought to tho granular condition described tho milk '•eeoines ucid, and tho acid acting ui>on tho butter produces the butyric acid first and this is rapidly changed into the stronger and still more disagreeable acids known as ca flric and caproic. Consequently, as soon as the butter is churned no .time is to be lost until the salting is completed and tho butter i worked over to thoroughly mingle the salt with it and consolidate it so as to press r, ut the excess of water nnd preserve it from tho uctiou of the atmosphere. A Cure for the Currant Worm. I think we never had a fruit pest, says a correspondent of the Country Gentleman, whtwe devastations have been more complete and its ravages more universally deplored tlnm tbe currant worm. The currant was • staple article in every family, entering l irgely into tfcinkeup ot a variety of pal ! atable dishesid constantly used as sauce I upon the tabland there was such an abun dance everywre that if one had no bushes in his gardeiho neighbors were always ready to sujy his needs. But now you may travel r miles through this region and not sco bush in ono garden in ten. Every one lame disgusted with tho work of the wonsiid being afraid to use helle bore, and jawing no other remedy, they dug them ’ au *X put the ground to other uses. But thJ * s a very sure and simple remedy which e<* s no money, only a little work— to whir those who find a reward iu the beauti-* appearance of their bushes, heavily laden'' lt * l delicious fruit, will not object. I I’Ve a farmer frielid who has near the con® b> s garden a single row of bushes aH*- four rods long To prevent the limbs fjfn being broken by snow or other causes, and to give hunself a better chance to work mong he had, long before the advent jf the worm boon iu tho habit of tying them up in tho fill. When the worms came he was astonisled to find his bushes entirely free from them, whilo his neighbors’ were overrun, for this he could find no reason, but continued his practice of tying, etc., but with mortcare, hoeing tho earth entirely away fron tho bushes and removing it some distance; Uso from about the stems three or four inclft deep, and with a painter’s sash brush elj&iiing out every fork, crack and crevice, 0 that no eggs or larva; might have j been let on them. He fills iu about the stems vth compost covered with fresh earth brougt from a distance, and then unties and finis his bushes and leaves them to their°lvo.s, and through all these years he hosflot been troubled with worms. It is a cprming sight to walk beside his well trimmed, thrifty bushes and see how heavily they are adorned with (lark green foliage, thickly interspersed with long large clusters of rich, red fruit. There is profit as well as beauty in this caring. Currants are so scarce and the de mand so great that our grocers readily pay Bc. a pound on the stem for them. Besides, all that were used in my friend’s family for sauces, tarts, jellies, jams, pies, etc., ho sold 193 quarts to those who came to his house after them, at 10c. a quart, making nearly 820. Do you know anything you can grow on a piece of land four foet wide and four rods long, with all the work you can put on it, that will pay you bettor? In ti’eating bushes that have been subject to attack from the currant worm in past years, they should be thoroughly cleaned, so that any eggs or larvae may bo scraped up. with an inch or two of the soil under the bushes, and carried off to a distance. If the soil is not too moist I would suggest— not having tried it myself—a light sowing of salt each year as tho bushes will staud it, until no insect will stay in the soil. Florida’s Roots and Herbs. It is surprising, says tho Balatka News, when we think of the many roots and herbs possessing medical virtues, that more of them are not sought out by chemists and scientists, and by experiment their proper ties made known to the modical profession. Some of them are used as household reme dies by the natives and yet they cannot be found in our materia medica. There are millions of dollars in our roots and herbs, if only practical and scientific men would go to work and discover their peculiar proper ties and give them to the medical world. A case in point is the use of the roots of tho red bay, which is one of the standard “old woman” remedies for allaying violent in flammation, and for that purpose will pro bably surpass anything known to the phy sicians. It is said that when a decoction is made by boiling tUnroots and mixing meal with it, it never fails to subdue the most violent inflammation. The English Walnut. Mr. Owen Albright, of Leesburg, Fla., gives his experience m the Florida Dispatch with tho English walnut as follows: My experience with English walnuts has boen as follows, no trouble to get them to germi nate and grow the first summer in the shade, but when the spring following comes I have to wait till the last of June or July before the buds start, and when fairly start ed to grow the leaves began to turn black and smutty und rotted and finally died. I have tried them in low, black, rieh,bayhead land, just such as suits our native walnuts North, but all to no purpose. I have known them bear in this same county sparsely. I very much dislike to give up the English walnut, having seen them in such grandeur in California. Pecans are a success here on pine or hammock; seed purchased at stores grow well; they will bud or graft on wild hickory. Bud on young growth. Household. To Make Tomato Wink.—ln canning to matoes use the extra juice, adding three jKiunds of sugar to each gallon of juice, and proceed as by other wine. It has no taste of the tomato. To Make Blackberry Wine.—Bruise your berries and to every gallon add one quart of lolling water. Let tho mixture stand twenty-four hours, stirring occasion ally, then strain off, and to every gallon of the juice add two pounds of sugar; cork tight and let it staDil till the following Oc tober. To Make Good Liohtbhead.—lnto a piut of fresh milk pour a pint of scalding water; stir in, smoothly, flour enough to make a thick batter; keep at a uniform temperature for about six hours when it will rise, and it should be used at unco. Hift your flour and pour iu the yeast, add ing warm milk and water, a little spoonful ot lard, salt to taste, knead lightly; put into pans, as soft as can bo conveniently handled; let it rise; then hake immediately. To Make Mahih.k Cake. —Light part— Whites of throe eggs, one half cupful of butter, one cupful of white sugar, one-half cupful of milk, onc-half tcaspoonfu! of soda, flour to make stiff tiattor. Dark part— Yelks of throe eggs, one cupful of brown sugar, one-half cupful of butter, one-half cupful f milk, one toaspoonful of nxla and flavor with mixed spices—cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Butter the tin ami put alter nate layers of light and dark, having tho light part on top. To Make Vinegar Take.— I Ten pounds brown or light brown sugar; nine gallons of river or soft water; one gallon go xt apple vinegar. Mix all together, stir until all tho sugar is thoroughly diwsolvod, put in a keg ami stop it with a rag or paper, to keep out (lire ana gnats. Het ft in the hot sunshine, shako it well twice a day for six or eight days and it is reudy tor use. The same pro portion of sugar and vinegar will make the same kind iu large or small quantities.

Fix that corn crib so that rats must stay out, and dou’t you remember that at onoeud the rain beat in last fall? It takes longer to learn how to raise a calf well thau it does to learn how to draw up an indictment that will hold water. Good blood is appreciated more and more each year by those who purchase horses for city purposes. The farmer who has the best bred animals to sell generally fares the best —a good thing to think about as breeding time approaches. The next boom in poultry, “they say,” is to bo in the white breeds. Four new candi dates for favor are named (Wyandotte, Ply mouth Rock. Langshan and Minorca. There are many other breeds, among which Dork ing ranks high as a table fowl. Grape vines bear transplanting thus after tho leaves appear with remarkable success, continuing growing as though undisturlied. At such a time young roots have formed often two inches in length. These would perish with the slightest exposure, but when puddled and planted with care not one iu a thousand should die. An easy way to [lack dressed poultry for market is to lay the birds iu uniform rows, beads toward the sides of the box nnd breasts up. Avery little clean wheat straw may separate the layers, but some jiackers use nothing. Fill the boxes so full that it will require a little pressure to force the covers down. Address to a trusty agent or com mission deuler. There is nothing, in tho opinion of tho California Cackler, that may be grown more cheaply or abundantly, or that is bet ter relished by tho fowls, than alfalfa. A plat once established seems to defy destruc tion, so far as cutting back is concerned; and as a green range there is nothing that will equal it. Our experience with it, plant ed in our breeding pens and yards for young chicks, has been most satisfactory. The best of roots for the horse in winter is the carrot. Enough should be provided to give two or tlu’ce messes a week, though where they are plenty a still better plan is to feed some every day with oats or other grain, the ration of which may be propor tionately diminished. To buy them they are generally as deal - as oats, but may lie grown for much less cost, a good crop of carrots yielding 200 to GOO or 800 bushels per acre, according as the small or large varie ties are grown. Tho benefits of puddling trees are mani fest. A fruit grower had thousands of trees aitd vines this spring that had begun to leaf out. He dug a deep bole and made a thick mixture therein of clay and water, thick as cream. The roots of trees and tho like were dipped therein, without a moment’s expos ure, and planted immediately. The fine earth clung to the muddy roots and, though the soil was rather dry when planted and no rain for two weeks, the leaves were fresh and the planting a success. Without this puddling it would have boon a failure. The Ohio Poultry Journal contends that no greater mistake can lie made than to re tain a sick hen in a yard with healthful fowls. Provided the disease itself is not contagious there is danger just tho same, and it comes from lice, which are sure to breed on a fowl out of condition much sooner than on vigorous birds. One reason is that the sick fowl does not take a dust bath as the well ones do. This ie tho thing which will free fowls from vermin and without which they are sure to be infested. Parsnips are often left in the ground through the winter and come out fresh in the spring, but we prefer to pull the larger portion in the fall that they may be used in the winter. Those left out begin to grow and make new fibrous roots very early in the spring; and all such growth, like the sprouting of potatoes in the collar, injures their quality for the table. The parsnip is a root that is not appreciated as it should be by farmers in general. It is a very rich vegetable and is esteemed by many as highly as tho potato. Parsnips are easily and quickly cooked, either by boiling or baking. They are excellent sliced, or halved lengthwise, and fried on a buttered griddle. Popular Science. Linseed meal is highly nitrogenous, and it also readily fattens. It is not considered very desirable for poultry, yet it makes a excellent condition food if properly given. A pound of linseed meal, fed to 50 hens, twice a week will promote them in egg pro duction and health, but if it is given more frequently it may cause bowel disease. When the bowels are costive and tho hens do not appear bright in plumage, linseed meal is better titan any medicine that can be given. It is fed by being mixed with the soft food in tho morning and the soft food scalded. A key to the mysterious “Hittite” inscrip tions has been discovered by Capt. Conder, who will shortly publish translations of them. The inscriptions were found in va rious purts of Asia Minor; for instance, at Hamath, on the Orontes in Sorvia, and at Jerabis on the Euphrates. They have hith erto been au interesting puzzle to scholars, but Capt. Conder some time ago pointed out that they bear some resemblance to the well-known Egyptian hieroglyphics, al though the latter are in intaglio, or cut be low the surface, while these are in relief. It is supposed that the so called “Hittite" inscriptions belong to a pre-historic race, evidently of Turanian origin, who occupied Palestine Itefore the Jews, and hud affinities with the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians. Tho discovery, according to Capt. Conder, throws an “astonishing" light on the ancient history of that portion of ehe East. Mr. W. Foul is, of Glasgow, has devised a system for heating railway carriages by the waste heat from the gas lamps used to light the roofs of the carriages. This is done by means of water, a holier being plaeed over the gas lamps, having two pipes descending from it, and connecting with two annular tubes under the carriage seats. Tho hot wator circulates through these pi|ies nnd returns again to the boiler after having heated the carriage. It is found that the ordinury size of gas flame is quite sufficient to heat n compartment, though the con sumption of gas is less than one cubic foot per hour. Congelation of the wator when the carnage is not in use is prevented by mixing a little glycerine with it. Tho sys tem has been tried successfully during the past winter on the trains of the Glasgow and .South western Railway in Scotland, and tho temperature of the carriage kept at from .52 to (X)’ Fahrenheit, oven in very cold weather. A scientific writer remarks upon a prob lem which is attracting to its study astron omers, namely, that, which relates to the eart has a tine-keeper. lie says we measure time by dividing either the [s-riod which the earth revolves around tho sun or that in which it turns on its own axis—by tbu first, method a year Itcing measured and a da) by the second. Tlio earth, according to some astronomers, is actually losing time, through two cause*—the sun’s attraction anil the friction, as it is termed, of the tides—the earth each year is stated to revolve more slowly on its axis. Tho speculative question which is thus Itcing considered and ilisrusscd is whether, in the end, the earth will stop its revolution iqton its axis and will present alwuys its same face to the sun —on event wide;;, whan it occurs, will cause perjictunl day in one i*irt of the earth and perpetual night in another. Concerning any such liability, however, good scientific authority declarra that there is no occasion for immediate alarm; that is, the rate at which the earth is supposed to lose time only shorten* the years By half a sets nil in a century, nnd, us tlierc are more than : 41,500,000 socoimls in a year, the earth, if it ever does thus OMpKi to revolve on its axis, will not. do so for more than 0,000,000,000 years yet to come.
