On October 30 (October 17, old style), according to the popular calendar, Hosea the Gilgal was commemorated. A day of carts, sleds and preparation for the winter road. The people said: "On Hosea, the wheel and axle are separated. It was believed that the autumn thaw was about to end, and it was time for the farmers to remove the carts until spring and prepare the sledges for the winter trips. "The day melts quickly - you can't tie it to a fence", "October is crying with cold tears," - this is what the village said to Hosea, finally saying goodbye to autumn and settling down in winter. Nowadays, in those days in Russia it was customary to "change shoes", meaning to change transport. Today we traditionally performed an inspection of carts and sleds. The wagons were placed in the barns until spring, but before that the serviceability was checked. If necessary, simple transport was fixed. In any case, the wheels were removed from the axles. Caring for the wheels meant that they were the most expensive part of the entire structure and required special care. As a rule, quality hardwood (oak, ash, birch) was used for the wheels. The hole for the axle, the spokes (at least a dozen) and the slots for the spokes were carefully worked. The rim itself was made of one piece bent or made up of frames. The outside of the rim was necessarily covered with a forged metal strip for abrasion resistance. To make the wheels turn easily and freely, they are greased with birch tar. By the way, at the last squeak of the wagon wheels they guessed about the harvest. If the wheels drove quietly and did not squeak, next year they will harvest a lot of bread and vegetables. On this day children were asked riddles about wheels and carts. For example, the following are known: "The lady is made up, a belt across her, and her back is smeared", "Four brothers agreed to compete, no matter how they want, they will not overtake each other", "One walks, four lead, and the fifth sits and looks with all his eyes". traditions and customs. We put the carts under the canopy and checked the wheels before winter storage.
