A fnrmer who bns tried It speaks In the highest terms of gns tor for paint ing wagon wheels, stating that It tightens tires and spokes better than anything that can be tried. Adil a llttlo glycerine to the grease applied to harness, and it will be kept In a soft and pliable state, In spite of the amnionlacal exhalations of the sta ble, which tend to make It brittle, ' Let there be some evidence of tnsto In tho grounds about your home. A neat lawn, with shrubbery, fruits and flowers, not only make It a plensanter plueo to live, but add to Its money value. Rata nhd mice will go Into n trap much more readily If a piece of look ingglass Is put In any part of the trap where they can seo themselves. They are social little creatures, and whoro they can seo any of their tribe, there they will go. Heaves in horses is caused generally fcy dusty hay. As a precaution the nay may ix well shaken and moluten d before It Is placed In the rack, and the rack should be on the floor rather than above tho head of the horse. Somebody had to plant trees forth present generation, and it must be done for the next. If the prospect of a crop is remote, there is at least something gained at present in the in creased valuo of the farm that con tains a young and growing orchard. It Is bad policy to wash harness with soap, ns the potash injures the leather. If the harness becomes msty rub off the dirt as well as possible with ii soft brush, and apply a dress ing of grain black, followed with oil or tallow which will fasten the color and make the leather soft and pliable. It is stated by those who have had the advautago of experience, tliat If apples which have loeu frozen are thawed in the dark they are uulnjurcd; but If In tho light, they very soon be come unfit for use. We should sup pose the same result would most like ly appear if the experiment were tried with potatoes. To get rid of mold in cellars, put some roll brimstone into a pan and set lire to it; close the doors, making the cellar as nearly air-tight as possi ble, when the fungi will be destroyed and the mold dried up. Repeat this simple and Inexpensive operation every two or three mouths for two or three hours at a time. For keeping fruit to the best advant age In winter, the following require ments should be observed: (1.) Keep the temperature wltlilu a few degrees of the freezing point. (2.) Let it be as uniform ns possible, as an occasional warm draught Is not required to main tain ventilation and uniform cold. (4) Keep all odors away from the fruit The first beglnnli:,' in teaching tho boy to prefer farmli r Is to get him in terested. (Jive him a few bantam fowls, and allow him to manage the flock and have the proceeds. He will . be pleased with them as pets, and as be becomes larger he will gradually take an interest hi other stock, espe cially if ho is permitted to grow tho food for his pets on a small plot of ground. A Farm Tool House. One of the most useful and money saving buildings that a farmer ci place on his premises Is a spacious and convenient tool house. It is generally the case that there is room enough in the various outbuildings to house tho farm implements If It is economized; but it is a corner here and a few feet of- barn or shed floor there; sometimes In a cellar and sometimes in a loft,, possibly easy of access, but probably difficult, and In nil such Instances It Is space originally intended and need ed for some other purpose. Tho main reason why so many farmers neglect protecting their implements from the weather when not in use, is the lack of convonlent and roomy storage. We lay great stress on its being spacious and handy; for If it is thus, James will always drive the lumber wagon inside to take the hay raek off, nnd ho will draw hi the stone boat with tho plow and harrow and cultivator on it, and they will escape the next rain or dew and tho consequent coat of rust A farmer ileitis a tool house ns much as a horse-barn or a woodshed. Our illustration is suggestive. It Is ndapt ed to a Wnllty alnmnding with stone. The walls of the building are made of that material, laid without mortar. The foundation is placed below the frost, and tho earth is banked on the outside to further protect them and to throw off water. The top of the wall !s leveled with mortar, and a two-inch ;iluuk laid on, to which tho rafters are .iptkcd. The latter are braced on tho Inslilo by nailing on cross strips. The roof may be made of the cheapest ma terial, which varies with localities. There Is one window In the end oppo lte tho door. The doorway should bo twelve feet wide, to admit n reaper, md if the location is not too much ex oseil there is little need of doors. I'hit ground is the floor. The walls tro but six feet higli, nnd the struc iire should bo twenty wide by thlrtv r forty long. Such a building will ost but. little where stones are in the vny. The farmer can build It, nnd rill save many dollars In twenty years md many steps each year otherwise taken after mislaid Implements. I'lnn for Keeping 11 mm.

Sir William Fraser, whose mnmolrs are Just published, writes as follows about Napoleon: "When Napoleon was at school at Brienno, the son of an English peer, who himself became Iaii-A Wenlock, was his school-fellow. One day the little Oorslenn came to young Lnwley and said, 'Look at this.' He showed him a letter written in re markably good English. It was ad dressed to the British admiralty, and requested permission to enter our navy. The young Bonaparte said, "The difficulty, I am afraid, will be my re llglou.' Lawlev said. 'You young ras cal, 1 don't believe that you have any religion at all.' Napoleon replied, 'But my family have; my mother's race, the Ramolinl, are very rigid; I should be disinherited if I showed any signs of becoming a heretic.' These facts I had from one who had Very good means of knowing. He told me that nonapnrte's letter was sent, nud that It still exists In the archives of the admiralty." The HnrglHr Came. It was an agent for a big manufac turing concern who was talking. "I once got out a poster," he said, "which started in: 'Keep your eye on this; a burglar is coming. This I dis tributed broadcast In the towns In the northern part of the State. Amopg ither places, it was hung conspicuous ly In a small grocery nud dry goods storo in one of tho towns in that sec tion. , "Ono morning the proprietor, when he opened up shop, found that my no tice had been amended to read: 'Keep your eye on this; the burglar hns come.' The correction was made In pencil murks. "And sure enough the burglar had come. And he had carried off about $100 In money and goods." New York Sun. Too Cruel.
