OIL THE HARNESS.

And have it repaired if necessary, be~
fore drier season sets in. Wash it
thoroughly with warm soft water and
CASTLE soap, and brush out every parti-
Gle Of dirt before putting on the OIL
This is the important point Better not
oil-at all than toapply it on dirty leather.
The harness should be taken apart and
the pieces washed and oiled separately.
Rub on the oil while the leather is
softened with the water 1t can be APP
piled at once if the leather IS rubbed
little with dry cloth. 1t should be
soft, but not too wet After applying,
the oil hang up to dry for few hours,
till the oil. is absorbed. Old harness
that has been neglected, and is dry and
hard, had better not be oiled. 1t will
do no good. The evil is already done
The fbres of the leather have lost more
or less Of their tenacity, and oil will not
restore it. In fact, by softening the
leather it only weakens it Just as wet
sheet of paper will tear more easily than
q dry one. Oil does not add to the
strength of leather; it merely softens it
and keeps it from cracking. 1t is a
preventive Of decay restorer,-
Harnesses arc now so high that it is
more than ever important to take good
care of them. Never let them suffer for
