The coinage Of standard silver dol
lars progresses at the rate of S2,OOO,OOO
and over per month. Recent repairs
made to the mint at New Orleans has
increased its coinage capacity, and
heneeforth it will turn out about
100000 monthly. Over $6,OOO,OOO in
silver coin was distributed from the
New Orleans mint last season, and at
a cost of but $4,000 to the govern
ment. One drawback at New Orleans
is the difficulty of getting sufficient
quantity of silver bullion to keep the
mint busy, but this will be managed
in the future. 1t is expected that an
increased demand will prevail for
silver dollars when the fall crops be-
gin to move, and the New Orleans and
San Francisco minis will be chiefly
occupied in silver coinage in the fu'

Preservation of Harness.

From the Harness Journal
The first point to be observed is to keep
the leather soft and pliable. This can be
done only by keeping it well charged with
oil and grease; water is a destroyer of these,
but mud and saline moisture from the animal
are even more destructive. Mud, in drying
absorbs the grease and opens the pores of
the leather making ready prey to water,
while the salty character of the perspiration
from the animal Injuries the leather, stitch
ings, and mountings. 1t therefore follows
that to perserve harness the straps should
be washed and oiled whenever it has been
moistened by sweat or soiled by mud. To
do this effectually, the straps should be I'M
buckled and detached; then washed with
little water and brown soap; then coated
with a mixture of neatsfoot oil, and be al
lowed to remain undisturbed until the water
is dried out; then thoroughly rub with
wooden rag; the rubbing is important, as it.
in addition to removing the surplus oil and
grease, tends to close the pores and gives
finish to the leather. In hanging harness
care should be taken to allow all straps to
hang their full length; brides, pads, gig
saddles, and collars should be hung upon
forms of the shape of each. Light is es-
sential to the care of leather and when the
harness closet is dark the door should be
left open at least half of the time during
the day All closets should be well ventil-
lated, and when possible they should be
we'll lighted To clean plated mountings
use a channels with little trip oil OF rotten
stone, but they should be secured as little
as possible. Rubber covered goods are
cleansed in the same way. Leather cover
ed needs to be well brushed and rubbed
with woollen rag. If a harness is thor
oughly cleaHsed twice year, and when
unduly exposed as we have recommended,
the leather will retain its softness and
strength for many years.

ing completely drained the Imperial Treas
