GREAsING misunderstanding buggies

some people imagine. Many wheel is
ruined by oiling too plentifully.. A WELL
made wheel will endure constant wear for
ten to twenty years. if care is taken to
use the right kind and proper amount of
OIL but if this matter is not attended to,
the wheel will be used up in five or six
years, OF may be sooner. Lard should
never be used on a wagon, for it will pen
citrate the hub and work its way out
around the lemons of the spokes and spoil
the wheel. Castor oil is good material
for use on an iron axle; just oil enough
should be applied to spindle 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 shoulders and

To oil an axletree, first wipe the spindles
clean with cloth wet with turpentine, if
it won't wipe without it. On d buggy or

FINE DISPLAY OF LIVE STOCK.

At the New York State Fair the largest
sheep shown was one of variety called
Lincolnshire, which weighed 355 pounds,
and had sheared some 22 pounds Of wool;
some on exhibition measured from II to
IA inches in length. The only specimens
OF long-wooled sheep besides the one men,
toned above were the Leicester and Cots
void. The Cotswold collection was par
ticularly fine, being principally from the
stock farm of Joseph Harris, near Roches-
ter. One two-year-old ram of this variety
is here on exhibition simply, having been
brought by Sherman Hartwell from WASH
ington. Conn, which weighs 307 pounds,
and has sheared some 1S or 10 pounds of
washed wool. One of the breeders of
this variety says he has found all the sto-
ries about their tenderness and inability to
live through our winters to be false for
he gives his sheep no protection during
the summer, and a simple shed in the win
ter. and they do well and thrive. His
farm is situated in the central part of the
State, where the winters are very severe.
Next to the sheep came the swine, of
which there are many representatives.
Of the pure black varieties there are but
two kinds. namely: the Berkshire and Es-
sex. Among the whites and spotted are
found the Chester White, China, Poland,
the Magee, the Suffolk and the Chesire
The Essex is a noted variety. Being but
small animal, the meat is of finer grain
than is usually found upon hog, and it
dresses very much whittier than any other
kind. The Essex, that took the first prize.
is valued at $3.50. The pigs at eight
weeks old sell for $25 a piece. They ore
distinguished for their short, curved

twelve per cent. from their live weight
on exhibition that day that was said to
weigh 100 pounds; but this may be an
exaggeration, for good judges rated him
at but scant 900. The White Suffolk is
fine variety, and very nearly approaches
the Essex in many of its characteristics.
The beeves came next The Shorthorns
seemed to be the favorites of the crowd,
and particularly Durham, who stands
full l6 hands high, pure white, and weighs
about 1900 pounds. The four-year-old
Durham bull that took the first premium,
weighed $500 pounds, and is valued by
his owner at $4,000 -
The exhibition of horned cattle was bet
ter than ever before, some of the cows be-
ing remarkable. One Durham on the
ground was regularly MIXED, and weighs
over 800 pounds. The Jerseys, Ayr
shire, Herefords and Alderneys are all
here and splendidly represented. William
l.. Learnard, of Cedar Hill, NY, has on
exhibition three sacred cattle from India,
with the inevitable hump of Eastern ami
mails. The fat steers are not very numer-
Gus, but they are very fat, one weighing
1926 pounds, while another is said to
weigh 1000 pounds.-A1anyp paper.

COMMENTS BY the TRIBUNE,

Since this journal Is charged above
with concealed uniriendliness" to Presi-
dent Grant, It Is clear that we need not
defend Il from any possible imputauon Of
Servility or sycophsncy. And il Is GER
tainly true that we are not seeking the re-
election Of Gen. Grant as President
Should he be the Republican candidate,
We shall Of course support him 10 the
best Of our ability; but, pending the
nomination, We may be fairly charged
with "uniriendliness' TO running him or
any other man for President while he
Rields the vast patronage Of that high
office. We ardently desire TO sec the
principle established that President
shall have no aspirations except 70 serve
the country eminently and win thereby a
lasting and enviable renown. SO much
for the "unfriendllnesS;" but how as to
the concealed ~ We have talked In
this fashion to all who would hearus for
months; NO should have written u ere
now II we had not been anxious 70 post
pone all discussion regarding the next
Presidency till nextWinter. Be Il under
stood, then, now and eyermore, that what
the Republican terms our "unfriendllness
to Gen. Grant Is, at all events, not "con-
cealed."
