Oil for Wagon Wheels.

A practical man says: II have a
wagon of which, six years ago, the fell
lies shrank so that the tires became
loose, | gave it good coat of hot oil,
and every year since it has had coat of
oil or paint, sometimes both. The tires
are tight yet, and they have not been
set for eight or nine years. Many
farmers think that as soon us wagon
fcllies begin to shrink they must 20 at
once to blacksmith shop and get the tire
set. Instead of doing that, which is
often u damage TO the wheels, causing
them to dish, il they will get linsecd
oil and heat it boiling hot and give the
felies all the oil they can take, il will
fill them up to their usual size and
tighten To keep them from shrinking.
and also 10 keep out the water n you
do net wish 10 60 to the trouble of mix

rag to stick and swab them over as
long as they will take oil A brush is
more convenient to use, but swab will
answer il you do not wish to buy
brush. IL Is quite saving of time and
money to look after the woodwork Of
farm machinery. Alternate wetting aud

soon to decay and loose its strength un-
less kept well painted. 1t pays to keep
little oil on hand to oil fork handles,
rakos, neck yokes, whiffletrees, and any
of the small tools on the farm that are
more or less exposed. "

Family Expenses.

After religion and politics there is
nothing about which intelligent people
differ so radically as what they call the
cost of living. A skilled man in some
departments of business will earn several
thousand year, spend nothing on wine.
women or horses, yet always be in debt
Some acquaintance Of bis, with similar
salary and a large family, lives COM
fortably, sends his boys to college, drives
a good horse and has n snug little hank
account. There are mechanics earning
two dollars day who comfortably feed
and clothe family Of u half dozen peo-
pie, while some Of their felow-work-
men, married, but without children, live
meanly, wear shabby clothes on Sunday
and are occasionally elected from their
homes for non-payment of rent. The
principal cause of the difference may
almost always be found 10 the family
larder, and the family wardrobe, Some
families must breakfast either on beef
steak or mutton chops; others will serve
just as much meat and make it Just MS
palatable at quarter Of the expense Of
choice cuts, because we'll cooked. Tenn
permanent has much influence on the
larder. Excitable people eat twice as
much without satisfying their hunger,
as those of better physical balance, yet
they will not do more work.
Some wives will save the price Of n
ton Of coal by renewing for one Of the
children an old dress or suit of clothes;
some others, seeming to be destitute
either Of tact. skill or inclination, must
buy everything new or go without -
Economy is science which quite a
number of men and women have mas
tered by close observation and diligent
practice ; others do not seem to know of
its existence. A few days ago couple
Of ladies who had been reftting their
parlors compared notes. One had spent
just $3.50 and the other nearly 81, 800,
and the cheaper parlor was the prettier.
1t takes longer to learn economy than to
learn trade, but when learned it is
the most consoling science in existence,
no matter how much or how little money
its devotee may have.

The clouds above were dull as lead,
And tinted leaves with signs fell dead,
And whircd in Autumn's blast away.
All thus, said, shall we be laid
Beneath earth's cold and trost-bound breast;
We are but for q moment blest.
Then all or Joys like reses fade.
Not so, spirit whispered soft.
Though flowers died and trees were
scared
In truth, yet men are flowers reared
TO blossom in the fields aloft.
But thou mstakest in thy sight;
These fragrant blooms that now seem dead
Shall in the springtlde blush as red
AS they had ne'er felt winters blight
In the sunshine of May,
When crystal fountains play,
And the skies are golden hued,
Birds are singing,
Bells arc ringing,
And the flow'rs are all believed,

Beyond thy tears
Above the spheres
Thou in peace shalt live again.

Drunken Russian Peasants.

Moujks are curious when drunk.
They hardly ever quarrel, but become
affectionate and embrace each other
Their idea of drinking is to imbibe
until they are quite insensible.
When [ was in Russia had coach
man, who once month used to come
and ask me for leave to get drunk dur
ing two consecutive days. Upon in
quiry found that only on these con-
| ditions would a coachman remain So
Der during the rest of the month.
Having obtained leave, he would 80 to
clearinghouse, show the proprietor
his money and state how long he might
remain there. Then he would sit down
at table with some spirits before
him. Gradually and solemnly he would
get drunk, place his arms before him
on the table and recline on them.
Thus he would remain for two DAYS
and nights, the proprietor supplying
him with more liquor whenever he
looked up. His time up, the proprie-
tor would drag him outside the house
and set him up in the snow against the
wall, having first filled his cap with
snow. Every charitably disposed
brother coachman passing by would
box his ears. In about half an hour
this discipline would sober him; he
would get up, shake himself together
and resume his duties.-Loa,don Truth

American physician whenever the
Board of Health has made raid upon
the dealers in skinned milk and
wasted this valuable flood stuff by
spilling it in the cutters. For sick
children and adults with certain dis
eases SKINNED milk is preferable to
rich and creamy milk, and all that is
needed for the health and protection of
the people are suitable legal regula-

Do we approve of scraping trees +?
asks friend of ours. Certainly we
10, provided they need it, and one can
rarely find an old tree that does not.
Aside from the fact that the removal
Of the old bark scales breaks up ref
nge for various insects, including the
woolly-aphis, the increased beauty of
the tree repays the trouble. There are
scrapers made for the purpose; one of
these has triangular blade, another a
long blade with one fiat and another
slightly concave edge. An old hoe is
quite as good a tool as any; cut off the
handle to about eighteen inches, and
10 not grind the blade too sharp, as a
cutting implement is not needed-only
scraper. On a very old trunk some
force may be needed to detach the
scales that are partly loose, but on a
young tree be careful not to wound the
healthy bark. The scraping may be
done now, next month or later. When
there comes a moist, drizzly spell, 90
over the scraped bark with good soft
soap, made thin enough with water to
apply with brush. Paint over thin
coat of this soap and leave the rest to
the rains. Later in the season the
trees will appear as if furnished with
mahogany trunks.-American Agric,sl-

FOR TIE FARM AND HOME.
The Rope Cure for Paving Horses,


The habit of paving can be overcome
in most cases by lifting the foot and
holding it up for while each time the
horse begins to paw. To give the
horse his first lesson, put on an old har-
ness, buckle strap around each of the
forward fetlocks, attach a small rope
five or six feet long to each strap, pass
the ropes through rings or loops on the
top of the saddle, take the horse to a
soft, smooth spot so that he will not be
liable to get hurt, girt the saddle tight
so that it will not turn, take up one
forward foot and hold it up for some
ten or fifteen minutes by making the
rope fast at the ring on the saddle.
The object of this lesson is to teach the
horse that standing on three legs is
tiresome and disagreeable work; and
also to teach him that his foot is held
by superior power, and that he can
not put it down without the consent
OF that power. For him to get these
Ideas he needs to stand long enough to
get very tired of it, and needs to do his
best to get his foot free before he can
realize that it is impossible for him to
free it. Having given this lesson, put
the horse in the place where he is in
the habit of doing the most paving,
and when he lifts either foot, take that
foot up bypulling on the rope attached
to IL aud hold il for short time only.
The object ot this lesson is to teach the
ItQgs0 mat it is when and only when
he lifts his foot to paw that the con-
troll of it is taken from him. When he
learns this he will probably stop the
practice, but for him to get this idea
the foot must be taken and held long
enough for him to realize that it is
held every time he attempts to paw.
In this, as in all teaching and all disci-
plinary work, the teacher and governor
needs good supply of patience and
perseverance.-AnSel w. Putnam.
