GREAsING WAGoNs.-An. ordinary farm
wagon, one which, while it may be used
nearly every day for heavy hauling, is sell
dom driven fasterthan the walk of an aver
age farm team, should be creased well every
Monday morning, asshould be the cart; and
making set time to do it, it will rarely be
forgotten. A farm wagon, a spring one,
which goes to milk to market, and to divers
other places, at an ordinary jogtrot, should
be creased after it has run forty or fifty
miles, according to the speed, while a light
less surface or room for grease, should be
creased after it has run every thirty miles
or so, always wiping the spindle clean and
bright before applying the grease: Forcar-
riages use only sperm or castor oil, and only
a few drops on each spindle, but for heavy
business or farm wagons use the common

BEGINNING TO SoUEEzE.-Two or three
years ago Jersey City pension lawyer took
the case of widow who wanted about
$4,000 back pay, and the papers went to
Washington, to be hidden away among the
cobWebs until some clerk had nothing else
to- do but examine them. After three
months had passed, a young farmer called
to ask about the case, and regularly every
ninety days; since that time, he dropped
in with his:
"Wen, a., any good news for the Widder
Jennings?"
At his last visit the other day, the lawyer
replied after the same stereotyped fashion,
and added:
"Do you live near the widow?"
"Only one farm between u.s."
"And she has told you to watch for the
money"
'sWell, not exactly that, but I've kinder
taken it upon myself to do so. If the Wild

AMERICAN AGRIoULTURhL ImPLEmgNTs
FOR INDIA.

Consul General Mattson, Of Calcutta.
reports to the State Department that in
India the "ryots" cultivate 100000 600
acres of land, and pillow the same from two
to five times every year, with no better
implement than an iron.pointed wooden
stick, which does not turn over the soil,
but only stirs it to depth of from three
to four inches. The enormous product of
this acreage is cleaned and separated by
the system of hand winnowing in vogue
among the Israelites of old. The mozt of the
agricultural implements manufactured in
the United States are not adapted TO use in
India, but there are two exceptions-the
fanning-mill or separator, and the garden
ploW-one that turns furrow of from
eight to nine inches, and SO light that
pony can work it and boy hold it. For
these two implements market waits in
India. The surprise is %hat American
have overlooked this field
for profit. It is not likely that
they viii do so much longer.
They are to remember, however, that
some notifications will be necessary
in the manufacture of the implements.
The plow-beam must be light, long and
curve upward, and be SO trimmed as to
fasten clevis to yoke, for bullocks
are used and are worked far apart. Then,
too, the plow.hsndles must be SO upright
that the plowman can walk near enough
the cattle to catch them by the tail, for the
Indian bullock-driver cannot be converted
to the use of the whip, but will seize and
twist the tails of the oxen near the root.
The fanning.mil too, must be lighter
than those we use, and made go as to sell
cheaply. The ryot seldom harvests more
than fifty or sixty bushels of wheat. and
time is to him matter of small considera.
ton. All the European machines have
failed to sell, because they are too heavy
and expensive. Now, in December next
there is to be great fair and industrial ex-
position at Calcutta, and it would seem to be
especially opportune for American manu-
facturers to introduce to India the imple-
ments named, and, unless we greatly
over-estimate American enterprise, the oc-
casion will be seized upon.

About month ago a boy ten years Of
age, living at Poland Corner, suffered a
slight abrasion of the knee. The wound
was not serious, but the flow OF blood that
ensued continued all day and the next,
for three weeks. in greater or less amounts,
and was stopped only after the most deter
mined means were taken. Three days ago
the boy cut his finger. The wound oper-
ated in exactly the same way. In spite of
three physiciaus in attendance the wound
bled profusely. The boy became weakened
aud delirious under the loss of blood. The
bleeding stopped Friday, after the boys
condition bsd become critical. Neighbora
stoutly assert that the boy "has no veins,
and that only srterial blood courses
throughout his body" Such case is, of
course, improbable. The strangest part Of
the affair is that the entire family of boys
are affected in the same way. A number
of years ago one of the boys In the family
lost his life through an impessibility OF
