SETTING WAGON TIRES.
How to Do 1t Effectively and i'm Such
Way That They Will Wear
for Some Time.

Some farmers can set their own tires
on wagon wheels, which is great con-
venience when they are far from a
blacksmith; but they cannot always
succeed in setting them so they will
remain tight for any length of time.
Have the wheels perfectly dry, as the
oil which is to be applied will not soak
into wet wood. Procure an oil heater
such as is used for this purpose, long
narrow iron vessel in which linseed oil
is placed and heated. Bring it to the
boiling point, keeping it there, for if it
gets much hotter it will burn the felloe
so it will not be durable. Put a stick
through the wheel so that it can be
kept turning in the hot oil for an hour:
by that time it will be we'll saturated
and the tire can be put in place and
will remain tight for years unless the
wheel itself wears out. The pores of
the wood being filed with oil makes the
wood impervious to water, and it is
then much more durable. It cannot
shrink in a dry season or swell in a
wet one.-Farm and Home.

ORCHARD MANAGEMENT.
Seeding Down to Glover II . Practice
That Will Pay q Profit ON the
", aExpense Incurred.

" When the character and lay Of tho
land will admit, a very good plan of
management is to keep in cultivation
during the first four or five years aft
er setting out and then, after the trees
begin to bear well and are reasonably
well established, to seed down to
clover. i; On account of the benefit to
the soil in various ways, it will pay to
use clover in seeding down in prefer
ence to- grass.
But before seeding down good
drainage should be provided, as trees
cannot be kept healthy if water is al
lowed to stand around the roots.
A very good plan is to throw the
dirt to the trees, making the burrows
in the middle between the trees. Care
should be taken in running out the
burrows to avoid washing. Then the
soil can be prepared in good filth, har-
rowing and dragging in order to Sc
cure smooth surface, before sowing
the seed. A little care in properly
preparing the ground before seeding
will aid materially in securing better
results.
Unless heavy applications of manure
are given the average farm soil cannot
grow other crops and a crop of fruit
at the same time, and while cultiva.
ton is beneficial while the trees are
growing, whenever they commence to
bear they should have the soil to them
selves. The. growing of clover can be
made beneficial to the soil rather than
detrimental, hence it is good plan to
SOW clover and either use hog ras-
ture or allow it to grow, mature and
fall down and rot on the land. A good
growth of clover will keep down the
weeds and add to the fertility of the
soil.
Early in the spring is good time to
sow clover, and if the orchard is to be
seeded down it will pay to arrange so
as to do the work in good season.--N.

Stave Silo Ii the Re.<

Since the first experiments with the
stave silo in New York this style of silo
has attracted great deal of attention
and has proved very popular in most
sections where tested. The Cornell sta
ton has recently published bulletin
on the subject, in which the author
concludes, after three years. study and
observation on the subject, that the
round stave silo is the most practical
and successful silo which can be con-
structed. The original cost is very
small and no expert labor is required,
and the maximum of capacity is Sc
cured with the minimum material.
The bulletin gives a detailed explana-
ton of construction.

How to Cook Oysters

The cooking of oysters, especially
when they are for an invalid, requires
great care, for, while it is important
that they should be sufficiently done,
they must not be overlooked, or they
will be leathery and indigestible. Take
the oysters from the shells and put
them and the liquor into small sauce
pan with just enough cold fish broth
to cover them and place the pan over a
clear fire. Watch it closely, and direct
~ boiling commences draw the pan to
the side of the stove and leave it for
two minutes; then drain the oysters,
take off the boards and use as may be
preferred. They make tempting lit

1t Pays to Have Variety.

In order to have apples from early
summer until late spring large va
riety Of trees should be planted. A few
trees of every variety suited to the
section of the country should be set,
provided, of course, the orchard is to
be at all extensive. And this does not
apply to apples only, but to all kinds
of fruit which farmers should have
fresh during the entire year in their sea-
son. This arrangement is for the con-
venience and special advantage of the
family, and does not hinder the plant
ing of the commercial varieties as the
predominating fruits.-Farmers Voice.
