use, seven years ago, and the tires are as
tight as when put ON. My method of fill
lng the felioes is as follows l use long
cast-lron heater made for the purpose. The
oil is brought to boiling heat, and the
wheel is placed on q stick so as to hang in
the oil. An hour is sufficient for q CON-
mon sized felloe, of which the timber
should be dry, as green wood will not take
oil. Care should be taken that the oil
does not get hotter than the boiling heat,

AGRICULTURE.

TRUSTWORTHY CORNERS Owners OF
land, whether in small lots or large, are
too apt to fnd themselves In difficulty, or
Leave their heirs In trouble, for want OF
permanent and inefaceable landmarks
showing the precise location of their prop
critics. Sometimes wooden post is plan
ted, which, in the course of years, rots or
becomes loose, and when looked for can
be found, Stones set on the surface are
by no means safe from displacement. In
small lots fence post is usually set as ex-
actly as possible on the corner; but these
lots often obtain value which makes
every inch measure Of considerable gam.
or loss, and there are many uncertain inches
in the sectional measure OF fencepost.
A large manufacturer unwittingly put the
wall of lofty and valuable building over
his line, beguiled by displaced mark.
HIS neighbor, grasping man of business,
took advantage OF this to make 90 cosc,ence-
less claim, and great expense has been in
CURED already for surveys and legal pro-
ceedings without any settlement being yet
made. This has put other neighbors to
looking up and securing their corners "
A good plan lately pursued Is to sink In
the ground at (undeI) q corner stone OF
some peculiar color, from distant source,
with the exact point or corner drilled or
chlssled. Another stone is. set upon that
one which reaches above the surface as an
indicator or finder. ltlt is q fence corner,
q post 10 set on each hne three or four feet
from the corner, and the rails extend t.
o sham post which stands upon the indica.
ting or surface stone, and is firmly held by
the rails. This leaves all tidy and perfect.
" safe and precise. The Winter season,
during mild weather, is a favorable time
for thus securing the boundary.

cry cent of the money paid to him BY

tendent of the Eastern Division Of the
Express Company, in regard to the ac'
tons instituted against him. He de-
|cIared bis confidence in triumphant ac-
quittal should the cases be brought TO
trial before the Supreme Judicial Court.
Now in regard to the result Of the ac-
tons begun against Mr.. Fife. as thus
briefly outlined; whether he can be con.
victed, or the Express Company convict
ed, or whether by some flaw in theMaine
law, liquors can in this way be safely
expressed into the State. and depots Of
delivery established in every country vii
lage, the reporter ventures no opinion.
But when he learns as he did, Saturday,
from the lips Of the best men and women
in Fyeburg Of the disgraceful scenes
that have been enacted night after night
for months past on the main streets OF
this beautiful village, caused by the i'm
moderate drinking Of alcoholic liquors sent
via the American Express Company. he
cannot but feel that the nine citizens who
took the initiative steps in the attempt TO
put stop to the sale Of said liquors were
actuated by higher motive than politi-
cal prejudice. Mr.. Fife must be mis-
taken when he declares that these actions
against him never would have been made
if he had not partially bolted the regular
Republican ticket two years ago. Such
men as A. K. Jenness, f. p. Weston,
Frank Y. Bradley and others who might
be named are too well known by the
writer for him TO believe that they would
league together to injure in his standing
and property fellow citizen for voting
as he saw fit at any election. The writer
has also known Mr.. Fife too long and
intimately to believe that he has whiting
ly fallen so far below his former high
standard Of temperance principles as to
become a common seller of intoxicating
liquors. In the disposal Of these packa-
ges of liquors, the reporter doubts not for
a moment that Mr.. Fife has been gov
erned solely by instructions given him by
the head men of the great Express Com
pany in whose employ he is. And if
the Maine law has been violated it is his
belief that the Express Company, and
not an employe Of the Company, are the
guilty parties.
