THE WALNUT 



Grafting Wax 



The following formula will give an excellent and 

 durable wax: 



Bees wax 1 lb. 



Boiled oil 1 pt. 



Resin 5 Ibs. 



Put all of the ingredients into a vessel over a 

 slow fire, and when dissolved pour the contents into 

 a vat or tub of w r ater. Work under the water until 

 cool, then work the mass in the air until it is free 

 from the water. One lb. of tallow may be used in- 

 stead of the oil. If dark wax is desired lamp black 

 may be added while cooking. If the wax should be 

 too soft, rendering it liable to melt and flow down 

 the stock, add more resin.
