When to Cut Wood,

A correspondent OF an Eastern journal
says: "For strength, beauty and durabil

October the best, and March and April the
worst months TO cut wood. A red maple
cut in September will keep In round log
perfectly, while one cut in March will be.

last o. June. This is not copied from any
scientific work, but is found TO be fact
by many practical tests Gray birch cut
in September will keep in good condition
until the next September, il left in the
woods cut in four feet lengths; while, il
cut in March and left in the same way, il
will be left nearly worthless by the LIST OF
August; at least such is the result on my
land. White pine, like the red maple,
keeps white much longer il cut in Sep

found that wood dried slowly in low,

How TO GREASE WHEEL The Coach

amount OF grease; but il this matter is not
attended to, it will be used up in Ave or
six years. Lard should never be used on
wagon. for It will penetrate the hub,
aud work its way out around the lemons
Of the pokes, thus spelling the wheel.
Tallow is the best lubricator for wooden
axletrees. and castor oil for iron hubs,
but many OF the patent axle greases are
also excellent, and have the merit Of b..
ing cheaper aud more convenient TO ham
die. just grease enough should be ap.
piled TO the spindle OF wagon to give it
: slight coating. This is better than
more, for the surplus put on will work out
at the ends. aud be forced by the shoulder
bands and nut washers into the Lub

then apply few drops OF castor oil near
the shoulder and end Ono tesspoonful
