WASHING WAGONS.

Most persons who own and use carriages
or wagons doubtless think they know how
and when to wash them, but few hints
from the Carriage Journal may not be out
Of place:
Washing wagons is too often looked upon
as an operation solely for the purpose Of re-
moving 3 coat of mud; this is one OF, the
objects, and an important one, bur the wag-
on should be washed even when there Is 10
mud on it. During the summer the var
nish loses its luster aud assumes dull,
dirty appearance unless it is frequently
washed. When wagon is bsdlv covered
with dirt II is best to soak the dirt loose bv
wetting it with large sponge, but not rub
bing it.
In cities, where water can be forced
through pipe, the sponge need not be used
until the bulk Of the dirt has run CIT then
use the sponge, commencing at the upper
portion Of the body, and do not wash over
too much surface at a time, as the water
should never be allowed to dry on the bodg;
after washing with a sponge, take clean wa
ter and chamOis skin, and wash and dry
Immediately with the chamois.
After the body is washed, wash the car
riags part and then the wheels; ia wash
ing the wheels be careful to clean the dirt
out from between the spOkes, and wipe
perfectly dry. Immediately after using a
carriage in hot weather the leather snd
trimmings should be busted of, aud the
paint well washed and wiped as directed,
using soft water If possible, but never
using salt water, as has been recommended
by some who are afraid tina, tie supply Of
water will give out in many of our cities IL
it is used for other than drinking purposes.
Careful washing viii tend to harden the
varnish, remove the particles of dust that
would otherwise bed themselves in the
paint, and keep The carriage fresh and clean.
The leathe; top should also be wiped of,
and if an oiled cloth be rubbed over i'm
mediately after the leather has been dried
with the chamois, it viii do much toward

farmer knows his local climate and needs
merely suggestions in practice. The rule
is to keep both garden and field always
growing some plantoor plants, which will
yield good profit. The idea that land
must rest to recuperate, originated in an
age that long preceded chemical and agri-
cultural science. The ocean needs rest
from the ebb and flow Of the tide quite as
much as the soil. When no water falls
from the clouds, nor runs from any
spring because it requires rest, then
all vegetation will take long repose.
But until that time, gardens and
fields should be properly cultivated, and
made productive in the highest degree.
Plant growth is the generous mother Of all
comfort, wealth and Independence. All
alike would starHe whether farmer, me-
chanie or merchant, but for the growth
that springs from garden and field seeds.
Yet, all alike treat these seeds and the fer
tility of gardens and fields, SIS matter Of
little consequences. Nor can one In hua-
