To KEEP TIRES or WHEELS. Hear
what practical man says on the subject:
81 ironed a wagon one year ago for my
own use, and before putting on the tires
/ filled the fellOes with linseed oil; and
the tires have worn out and were never
loose. / ironed a buggy for my own use
several years ago, and the tires are now ns
tight as when put ON. My method of
filling the felloes with oil Is as follows
/ use a long cast iron heater, made for
the purpose. The oil is brought 30
boiling heat, the wheel is placed ON
stick, 50 as 20 hang in the oil each iclloc
an hour for a common sized fel0c. Tho
timber should be dry, as green timber
will not take oil. Care should bt taken
that the on be no hotter than a boiling
heat, in order that the timber b. not
burnt Timber filled with oil Is not sus-
ceptible 30 water. and the timber rs much
more durable. j was amused some years
ago when told the blacksmith how t0
keep the tire right on weccls by bis tell
ing me that il was "A profitable business to
tighten tires, and the wagon-maker will
say that il is profitable 30 him 90 make and
repair wheels; but what will the farmer
who support the wheel wright and smith
say?".-Exchange.
FARMERS PUDDING. I'M many fami-
lies scraps Of bread will accumulate, too
few for an entire baked pudding, but too
many 10 throw away, yet they will dry up
too much, or be too much broken 10 APP
pear on the table at the next meal; besides
broken pieces Of bread give The bread
plate An un-inviting appearance. OF
these few bits a relishing pudding can be
prepared II the housekeeper has at hand
the always useful package Of corn starch
Crum bread 10 the amount of three slices
into quart Of milk and bring the same
almost to a boil; have ready a heaping
tablespoonful and half Of corn starch
stirred smooth in half a cup Of milk, in
which two-thirds Of a teaspoon of salt is
dissolved, and stir this in the milk, which
when boiling will be of the consistenco of
thick cream. While this Il cooling, beat
up an egg and a teaspoonful Of ground
cinnamon or allspicc. Pour the milk, ETC..
in pudding dish. add twO-thirds of "a
tea cup Of molasscs, and lastly stir In the
beaten egg. Bake as for common bread
pudding.

We are troubled often with severe coughs,
the result Of colds Of long standing which
may turn to consumption or premature
death. Hard coughs cause slocpless
nights by constant irritation IN the throat,
and strong effort 10 throw Oh offensive
matter from the lungs. The remedy I
propose has been tried by me, and recon-
mended by me with good results, which is
simply 10 take into the stomach before re-
firing for the night piece Of raw onion,
after chewing. This esculent In an uu-
cooked state is very heating, and collects
water from the lungs and throat, causing
immediate relief TO the patient"
NEURALoH For simple neuralgia Of
the face or any superficial ache, not de-
pending upon some organic cause, nothing
will act 70 efectually as rubbing tho oil
Of peppermint into the part. The old
man with the govt will get relief from &C.
As a local anesthetic Il viii give relief
when chlOroform fails. 1 frequently put
a grain Of morphine 10 drachm of OIL
