Farm Wagons.

Convenience often demands that a
farmer shall keep more vehicles upon
his premises than his circumstances will
allow, and consequently economy must
be exercised, and the question arises
what can and cannot be dispensed with,
and what the more protitably kept, To
decide between a heavy and light lumber
wagon, the first thing to determine is,
whether the farm is sufficiently large to
pay for keeping two horses. If but a
few days in year span of horses is abb
solutely required, it will be more profit
able to keep but one horse and single
wagon, and hire an extra horse for the
few days Of heavy team work, than to
keep the span. Generally speaking, an
ordinary farm of fifty or less acres will
require but one horse; the second unless
raised for the market, will not pay his
keeping.
Every farmer WILL of course, deter
mine this matter for himself; but be
yond this there is another important mat
ter to decide, and that is the style of
wagon in point of construction. Years
of experience in the making and repair
ing of wheeled vehicles taught us that
wagons for heavy work should have
wood aXletrees, thimble slleins and cut
felloes. An iron aXletree, where heavily
loaded is liable 10 get sprung and run
hard, and bent felloes to cramp wheel
n one-horse wagon should have two and
ree.quarter skeins and pole that may
be attached when ii is so desired. Where
IA wagon is made to order, have the
wheels of first quality, well-seasoned
white oak, and the aXletrees of tough
hickory.
If but one light wagon is kept, that
should be furnished with two boxes, one
large and well-rodded for hauling dirt,
wood and manure; the second light, say
seven or eight-inch sides, with half
spring underneath and full spring under
seat or seats, and all we'll painted to
correspond with the running gears. We
have always found it a paying invest
ment TO have both boxes protected on
top edges with iron, screwed on firmly
Never use fiat iron, but oval, same width
that the sideboards are in thickness

good height for heavy wheels is four feet

eight inches behind and three feet eight

eight inches behind and three feet eight
inches for front.
A heavy wagon, as well as light one
should have two boxes, for where but
one is used for all work the vehicle il
never in fit condition to appear in the
streets; and besides this, there is econ
omy in having two. On a heavy wagon
where an eightinch foot-reach is used
which is the proper and very common
length-make the rough box ten feet six
inches long, fourteen inches deep, and
allow it to extend fifteen inches in front
OF the forward stakes. Eastwood is the
best material, all things considered, as it
is light and at the same time more dura-
BILE than pine, whitewood or elm, for the
reason that it is not so easily bruised or
Clipped off as the former, and does not
warp under the influence of rain and heat
as the latter The study should always
be to have vehicle as light as possible,
and at the same time sufficiently strong
to endure whatever is consistent to put
upon farm wagon.
Use the lubricator upon the wheels
sparingly but frequently. A large
amount does no more good upon the
spindle of an aXletree than a little, for
there is space for only a certain amount,
and the overplus works out. 1t is a
great saving of horsetlesh to keep the
boxes in the hubs from ever getting dry.
