corn cooked in this way is peculiarly
sweet and palatable-HearM and Home.

0iiing and Painting Carriage Wheels.

WHITE oak and white ash timber are
employed extensively for making fellies
of carriage wheels, whether they are bent
or cut out. Every time these kinds of
timber are saturated with water, and after
wards dried, the woodwork shrinks
Hence, as the fellics Of wheels are fire.
quently exposed to mud and water, the
timber soon shrinkS, so that the tires need
to be reset. But it the fclies can be satu-
rated with llnseed oil so that water cannot
hnd an entrance into the pores Of the tim
Der, the tires will continue tight for more
than a score of years. We have in mind
wagon that was IN constant use on a large
farm Tor over tWenty-siX years. and the
tires were SO tight during all that period
that they did not need resetting Before
the tires were set the fellies were oiled in
the following manner:
a trough was made in stick of hard
maple timber, just wide enough and suf-
ficiently deep to receive one felly, or about
half of two. The bottom of the trough,
from end to end, was circular, or of about
the same curvature as the periphery of the
larger wheels One wheel was then plac-
ed in the trough, after which linseed oil
was poured in until the trough was filled.
Two fellies were allowed to stand in the
OH lOI StNcIdI hours, Wncn the WneCI was
rolled around until two fellies more were
submerged in the oil. The pores in every
telly were literally stuffed with oil, which
soon dried and rendered the timber com
pletely inpermeable to water. AS soon as
the oil had become dry the tires were put
on and the tellies received two heavy coats
of lead paint. AS no water could en-
ter the wood the timber did not get wet,
and so long as water could not affect the
grain of the wood it would not shrink.
BY filling the pores Of the timber with oil,
the ends of the spokes also We're preserved
from decay, and the trouble and expense
OF resettlng the tires were avoided.
We have frequently stuffed old wheels
with oil in the foregoing manner, after the
tires had become loose, and the timber
has absorbed SO large quantity of oil
that the fellies expanded and rendered the
tires desirably tight without being reset.
A few quarts of oil employed in this man
ner will frequently save many dollars in
the durability of the wheels.--4merican

SPREAD OF UNIONISM IN CAN.
ADA.

The marvellous rapidity with which
Unionism has impregnated the mechanics
Of the Dominion, the pluck, persistence
and backbone which they have recently
developed, while contendng for their
rights, and the cheering assurances given
that a new era has been inaugurated, is, to
our minds, one of the most pleasing signs
Of the times, and the surest guarantee for
mutual sympathy and support between
the toilers Of the two countries.
We have advocated for years, and expe-
rlence has confirmed us in conviction, that
liberal, fraternal policy should be adopt
ed in all our dealings with our Canadian
brethren. Nothing Of a proscriPtive,
nationalistic, narrow minded, character
should, for a moment, be allowed to enter
into our transactions The right hand of
fellowship should be extended on all occa-
sions where mutual interest exists. We
can all remember = few years ago when
the nightmare Of our Trades Unions,
especially in the border cities, when
ever difficulty occurred, was the i'm
portation Of Canadian workmen, and
how frequently the expression was used
Il 1t is no use to adopt this course
because toe ,c.H be s,odmped BY Canadian
mechanics" This state Of affairs has
ended, We hope never to return, and in
no manner can our trade or labor associa-
tions show their appreciation Of such en-
hghtened progress as by meeting them Oh
the plane Of perfect equality.
A few days ago we had a heightened
conversationwith the President Of one Of
our most influential organizations, man
who was in a position to speak by expri
ence and authority, and We were assured
that the men Sho brought cards from the
Canadian Unions, ranked among its
staunchest and most reliable members
