Greasing Wagons.

Few people fully appreciate the
importance of thoroughly lubrica-
ting the axels, etc, of wagons and
carriages, and still fewer know
what arc the best methods of ap-
plying them. A well made wheel
viii endure common wear from
ten 70 twenty FIVE years, if care is
taken to use the right kind and
proper amount of grease; but if
this matter is not attended to,
they viii be used up In five or six
years. Lard shoald never be used
on a wagon, for it viii penetrate
the hub and work itself out around
the lemons of the spokes, and spoil
the wheel. Tallow is the best
lubricator for wpoden axletrees,
and castor oil forfron. Just grease
enough should be applied to the
spindle of a wagon to give it a light
coating; this is better than more.
for the surplus put on will work
out at the ends, and be forced by
the shoulder bands aud nut wash
ers into the hub around the out
side of the boxes. To oil an AK
letree, first wipe the spindle clean
with a cloth wet with spirits of
turpentine, and then apply q few
drops of castor oil near the shoul
ders and end. One teaspoOnful is
sufficient for the whole.

Tomake new Rope Pliable

Many of our readers have ex-
perienced great difficulty in hand
ling new ropes. Every farmer
knows how unmanageable new,
stiff rope halter is, and MS pa
thence is severely tried when he
tries to tie up his cattle with it, as
the rope will coil itself into every
shape bat the one desired. Often
he finds bis horses and cattle ram
paging about the barn, having
loosened the knots of the new hal
ters. By simply boiling the rope,
in water for two hours, all this
trouble viii be avoided, and the
rope made as soft and plant as if
used for months. 1t is not d.
minished in strength, but It's stiff
ness is gone. 1t must hang in a
warm room until thoroughly dried,
and not allowed to kirk. This
easy remedy VIII secure horses and
cattle from many kicks and blows,
and prevent much profanity.

New piscoyery with Corn

Anintelligent and reliable neigh
Dor, who has for years been ma
king experiments with corn, has
discovered an importance and val.
ne in replanting corn whichis quite
novel and worthy of publication.
We have always thought replant-
ing was of very little consequence,
bat this gentleman says sit is of
so much consequence, he replants
whether it is needed or motor
rather, he plants two or three
weeks after the crop is planted, a
hill about every fifteenth row each
way" He says IF the weather
becomes dry during the fillingtime,
the silk and tsssel doth become
dry and dead. In this condition
if it should become seasonable,
the silk reVives and renews its
growth, but the tassel does not re-
cover. Then for want of pollen
the silk is unable to fill the office
for which it was designed. The
pollen from the re-planted corn is
then ready to supply the silk, and
the filling is completed" He
says nearly all the abortive ears,
so common in all corn crops, is
caused by want of pollen, and
that he has known ears to double
their size in this second filling.

To clean your hair and head,
beat up with the yolk of an egg
rub it all through the hair; wash
aud rinse in soft warm water; dry
with a towel as much as possible.
Avoid going out before the hair is
thoroughly dry, as you will be
likely 10 take cold. Ammonia is
also very good to cleanse the hair,
and hair brushes. A teaspoonful
of liquid ammonia in a pint of
warm water is a proper proportion.
Add a little soap, wash the hair,
and rinse well In clear water
When dry, brush ten minutes, and
dry with some clean, soft oil.
