ABOUT GRINDSTONES.

Few things are more useful, and mere abused than
this common instrument. Who speaks good word
for thi> poor. dumb thing: but what are all your

ores in their lone mountain beds. Among all
the hardshps of Robinson Crusoe none were so
hard as the grind>tonc want; and when his inge-
nuity had eNtemporized one, he found in ii a source
both of life and of happiness.

Tor tins freak. when il is all your fault. For
ica lg 1t ont n1he sun and wind. as we generally
see, causcs the side exposed TO the heat to grow
much harder than the other. thus causing the soft
side to grind more rapidly away. and to produce
this bad motion. And twice as fast does this evil
increase if, aS is frequently done. it stands in a
trough of water. This softcning the stone on its UNI
der side still more. Keep them ALWAYS under COW

that they Will blow mp. For not long ago a person

There is much also in the way of hanging it to
turn easily for itself and the operator Most peo-
pie have the axle rest simply on wood. This from

Some men of large experience in such matters adj
wise two methods to ohviatc this One is ati-frcton
rollers, which consist Of two small iron wheels so
placed that the axle rests upon and between them.
As these wheels themselves rcvolve as well as the
axle, the friction is greatly diminished. We have
seen small eight year old boy turn a large grind
stone having this fixture. with more ease than a
man could much smaller one hung in the old way
and as we go around we have learned by extensive
observation that there is in not one of the for
mcr to ninety-nine of the latter. The apparatus
costs less than Il pound Of tobacco and may be had
al any hardware store.
lfyou want anything cheaper, and some better
than wood, make a groove to suit the axle in some
pieces OF hard bone which fl, into the frame This
being harder than wood, and having great affinity
for OIL reduces the friction and saves labor.
