SETTING WAGON TIRES.
Farmers Can Do This Work More EE—
fectlvely and Cheaply Than
the. Blacksmith.
There are many jobs that a farmer can
do for himself, if he only makes the at—
tempt. One 'of these‘is the setting of
the tires on the wheels of his vehicles.
The usual charges at a. shop for one
wheel will exceed the cost to the farmer
Of setting all four, and the time spent in
hauling them to and from the shop, to
say nothing of the trouble and vexa-
tion of unsatisfactory work or ruined
“wheels, is far greater than it would be
to do the work himself. To do this it
requires an outlay of only the cost of
a. metal trough and linseed Oil, about
half a gallons to a set of wheels, though
more than enough to do the work will
be needed, as the trough, while boiling,
must be filled so as to cover the felloes.
This trough (a) can be made of gal—
vanized iron by a tinner. It should be
about 28 inches long, three inches wide
and five inches deep at the middle. By .
making the bottom only 16 inches long
and slanting the two ends to the top,
the bottom'will nearly conform to the
circumference of a. wheel. Set this pan
on brick or stone in such a way that a
fire can be built and kept up under it.
Put in enough oil to cover the felloes,
and let come to a boil. You are now
ready to put in the wheels.
To prepare the wheels, let them soak
in water until the tires are tight, wash—
:ing out all the mud and dirt possible.
On one side of the trough drive a stake,
the top of which is to be about the
height of the hub of the wheel when set
in the pan. A stake with a fork at the
' top will be found the most convenient.
On the other side, set in the ground a.
2x4 in which a row of half-inch. auger
holes have been bored, ranging from a
few inches below to a few above a level,
corresponding with the stake on the op-
posite side. By running a piece of sap-
ling through the wheel, and laying one
end in the fork of the stake, letting the

wheel hang in the pan, just free of the
bottom, and inserting a pin in the auger
hole of the 2x4 that is at the desired
height, as a rest for the. other end, the
wheel can be easily managed. If it is
wedged on the sapling, it can be turned
by that means. _
' After being placed in the oil the wheel
should be slowly turned to prevent
charring. The length of time required
to boil :1 wheel depends on its condition,
as does the amount Of Oil it takes for a
set. Two sets of wheels can be easily
set in half a day. This job will prove
far more satisfactory than one per-
formed by a blacksmith, who, often on
account of the dry wood swelling after
he has shrunk the tire, ruins a wheel
by dishing it.—Orange Judd Farmer.
IMPESABLE ROADS.
A Story front Michigan \Vhich Should
Teach a Needed Lesson to
Every Mossback.
No one who has given the subject
close thought can 'doubt‘tbe moral and
sentimental value of good roads. The
successful maintenance of schools and
churches and the spreading Of their
good influences is directly dependent
upon the character of the highways.
The social life of the country'is quick-
ened or suppressed as the roads become
good or bad. The youth of the coun-
try leaves the farms mainly for therea-
son that the social advantages are so
often sadly hedged about by impassable
mud roads. isolation. ignorance. crime.
is the universally accepted course of
things.
But alas! sentiment is something
that it is difficult to deal with in a sta—
tistical way. The business side of the
road question appeals to all. The fol-
lowing from the Bay City ()iich.) Trib-
une tells the story—mills old. old story:
“A farmer from Saginaw ‘count‘y
brought. in a load of grain yesterday to
be ground. Although livingmuch near-
er Saginaw than this city. he stated that
it was impossible for him to draw a load
of grain to Saginaw on account of the
condition of the roads. He came into
the city without any trouble on Bay
county’s stone roads. and he is pOsitive
that the failure of Saginaw to get a
sugar factory was due to the poor con-
dition of the roads in that county.
While in the city this farmer made or—
rangements to rent 20 acres of land
west of this city for six dollars pcracre.
and he will grow ten acres of beets and
ten acres of chicory. He will rent his
farm near Saginaw for two dollars an
acre. there beinga difference of four
dollars per acre in the relative values of
the two farms on account of good roads-
and a market for products in Bay
county."
The same conditions are to be found
in thousands of localities, and the peo-
ple are beginning to ask if there is never
to be any advancement afimg the lines
of road making and road keeping?—

BEAIITIEYING THE LAWN.
How to Construct a Rookery and
Plant Bed '1"th Is Sure to P'ro- ‘
duce a Good Effect.
The ordinary rockery which one sees
on lawns is apt to be a heterogeneous
and rather uncouth mass of rock that
oftentimes injures the effect of the
lawn, instead of beautifying it. The il-
lustration shows a combination of plant
bed and rockery which in the proper
situation will give a. pleasing effect.

ORNAMENT FOR THE LAWN.
Cobble stones are laid up in a circular
wall,in cement, the diameter of the‘wall
being as one may choose. The height
should not be more than two feet. The
interior is filled with rich earth and the
edge at the top is sodded, as suggested
in the cut, the sod coming out to theout-
side of the wall. Such a situation can
well be utilized. for strong-growing,
large-leaved plants, the largest sort be-
ing placed at the center. Such a. bed
will need frequent watering, especially
if the season be dry—Orange Judd
Farmer.
The Orchard and Garden.
The home orchard and fruit garden
should contain a sufiicitmt- number of
plants. vines and trees to grow an
abundanpe of fruit for family use. Be-
ginning wilh strawberries, currents,
gooseberi-ies. grapes, cherries, quinces,
pears, plums, and apples, and a number
of varieties 0} each ripening in regular
succession so as to keep up aconstunt

would be a matter of causing health and
pleasure if carried into p;1-actice.—- ,
