THE HARVESTING TEAMS.
Some Suggestions as to the Best Way
to Handle Them in the
Farm Work.

Some men have very little trouble
apparently in getting full service from
their work horses during the harvest
ing season. while others are in 'hot
water" most of the time. The reason
for lack of luck in this matter is not
SO much in the horses used as in the
way of using them. Many man fails
because he tries to have his horses do
more thar they are capable of doing
without wearing themselves out. They
Shove" the horses to get through
big field at the fastest possible rate.
The horses are willing, but If thus
overworked in hot weather they soon
play out" and some of them are like
ly to be sunstruck or suffer from heat
exhaustion. 1t Is the over-pushing
that kills. The same horses wisely
used will do all the work and do 1t
well. Where three horses are used
on a self-binder, and that number is
usually necessary on firm ground, al
though the catalogues OF the manufac-
turer show, the binder gliding along
with two carriage horses feeling their
oats in front of 1t, the middle horse
is getting the worst of the bargain.
He not only suffers from the heat OF
the day, but from the heat radiated
from his neighbor on each side. He
will be most apt to feel the heat and
suffer from sunstroke or exhaustion,
and for this reason should be changed
when possible from the middle to the
side position. In short 1t Is best, says
the Farmers Review, II each OF the
three horses can be broken to the
middle position work properly so that
each in turn can be given this work
to do. Next the teams should be
changed in the middle of the forenoon
and afternoon. A shorter time at
work means work better done than II
the team is made to work eight Or
ten hours. The gait should be a
steady one. No foolish boy should be
allowed to drive and overdrive. 1t
requires a sensible, watchful man to
get from a team just that amount of
work which can be done best and
water should be allowed often and
the heads of the horses should be
shaded while at work, but not weight
ed down with soggy. hot, heavy
sponges or felt, that merely aggravate
misery and the liability to sunstroke.
On soft ground five horses should be
used while three ordinary horses will
be required on firm footing. We need
heavier horses on the average than
are now used and when draft horses
are more commonly raised there will
be much less trouble at harvesting
time.

To Cool Upper Rooms.

The upper rooms of summer cot
tage, unless It is well shaded, are apt
to be very hot In summer, especially
at night, after the sun has beat upon
the roof all day. In such cases, let us
remember the tropical device of the
double tent, |. e., one tent with another
over 1t, leaving an air space between.
One summer tenant employed a new
idea to make second story bedrooms,
which had low ceilings, comfortable II
the heated term. A quantity Of coarse
sacking Aburlap-was procured, sewed
together, and carpenter stretched II
over the roof, leaving an air space of
eight inches between sacking and
shingles. The result was that the
rooms were made comfortable, 80 that
they could be used to sleep In, some
thing impossible before. The burlap
lasted two seasons. and the cost was q
bagatelle compared with the comfort
secured.

SUGGESTIONS ON SEWING.
When Making Shirt Waist Fit Neck
with Utmost Care-Directfons
for Homemade Hat.


In making shirtwaist the most i'm
portant part is the fitting OF the neck.
Once IL is cut too low In the neck, par
ticularly In the back, or made too large
or finished with too narrow band, II
Is ruined. No neck dressing that Will
look dressy can ever be worn with an
ill-ftting neckband.
The horseshoe sunbonnet Is finding
favor in many neighborhooos. and any
ingenious girl can make one, without
pattern, by simply following a few
measurements. The pattern is in three
parts; the shade part, the crown and
the frill or cape. The shade and the
crown are shaped precisely like
horseshoe, the crown following only
the outer line of the horseshoe. The
shade Is six inches wide at the middle
of the front and five inches widp at the
tips. When your pattern for the shade
Is cut It should measure 16 inches from
the outer edges of the tips and IL
inches from the center OF the front to
center of line drawn straight across
the tips. The crown, also horseshoe
edge that makes the base Of the horse
shoe and 20 inches on the line through
the center from front to back when
folded exactly double. The frill Is sewed
to the straight edge. Both the shade
and the frill are made double, the
shade stitched in rows following the
outline of the horseshoe and half an

shaped piece five inches wide and IL
inches along its upper edge and II
along the lower edge. All the outer
| edges of the frill, like the outer edges
| of the shade are sewed in q seam and
turned, and the crown is gathered and
set between the double edges of the
outer parts. A line of stitching in the

All this seasons gowns have sleeves
that are full at the shoulder and mod
erately close-ftting at the wrist. Last
years sleeves were tucked or laid in
plaits at the top and baggy at the wrist.
Now 1t is very easy to reverse them,
and be in style. Rip out the sleeve.

NAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE.
The Acquisition Of Which Would
Assuredly Fit One for an
Exciting Cruise.

Having been sailing one afternoon with
a friend, you notice how simple it is to
manage a boat; SO you buy one-whether
it is a center-board or a fn-keel boat YOU
don't know, and it doesn't make any diff
ference so long as you like the color, says
the Chicago Daily News.
Ask half dozen friends to act as crew.
Great care should TIE exercised in choosing
only men who know nothing about sail
ing, otherwise they might make sugges-
tions as to the management of the Boat.
Far better is 1t for you to train the men
after your own ideas of sailing-and you
stand much better chance Of getting a
p.eture Of yourself and your boat into the
papers.
After sailing around the harbor few
times without damaging any of the other
boats, you will be in a position TO invite
your girl friends to go sailing. Ii eXpeT.-
encod yachtsmen tell you that your boat
viii with safety carry ten, invite twenty
friends. IL you bring them all hack you
will establish q precedent.
Never postpone a sailing party because
cf an approaching storm. This would loo,s
cowardly, and by all means establish a
reputation for daring even if YOU have 10
risk the lives of all your friends.
Always carry full canvas-before squall
and during it. Once outside the harbor
lie your main sheet down-in hard knots
if possible. This will make the trip more
exciting.
BY carefully following the above rules
you will give the newspaper reporters q
chance TO write columns on Yachting as
the Most Dangerous of Sports and win
also help the life-saving crew to earn their
salaries

WIDE TIRES FOR ROADS.
Improvement of the Highways Al
most Impossible While Narrow
Tires Are Used.

Mr. j. NJ. Heiskell, civil engineer of
Memphis, is the author of a bill in
troduced in the Tennessee legislature,
which has for its object the regulting
of the width of tires on vehicles.
1t is contended by those who have
studied the subject from scientific
point of view that the wheels used on
vehicles Of various kinds make or mar
the country road, pike or the city
street. The subject of street making
and street building is one that has
been studied for many years, and a
correct solution would mean the saving
of much money to all the cities and
states of this country.
Scientific men have made tests which
show that wide tires on heavy traffic
vehicles are among the best road max
ers known to modern times. The wider
the surface of the tire. the better 1t is

for the road. Narrow tires not only
cut the roadbed, but increase the bur-
den of the horses
Practical tests were made near At
lanta some months ago, and the Illus
tration shows the result of same.
The bill prepared by Mr.. Heiskell is
as follows:
on traffic vehicles.
Section !. Be l. enacted by the
general assembly of the state of Ten
nessee, that all traffic vehicles, without
rubber tires, shall be required to have
wheels of one-inch average width for
each 250-pound load capacity per wheel.
That is to say, four-wheeled vehicle
Of 1000 pounds capacity shall have lh-
inch tires; of 1000 pounds capacity
shall haveCtires of 2A inches wide: of
4,Q00-pound load capacity, Az inches
wide; of 5000-pound load capacity,
5h inches wide; G,000-pound load ca
pacity, six inches wide; of 7,00O-pound
load capacity, Gk inches wide; 5000
pound load capacity, seven inches
wide. All two-wheeled venlcles OF one
half the carrying capacity of the above
four-wheeled vehicles are to have
wheels with widths of the tires above,
respectively.
''Sec. 2. Be IL further provided, that
anyone violating the provisions of this
act by the use of tires of width less
than herein required shall, upon con-
viction, he fined not less than IS and
not more than $25 for each offense.
"Sec. 3. Be 1t further enacted, that
this act take effect six months after
passage of the same"
In discussing his measure Mr.. Heis.
kell said that good roads are not pos
sible with narrow tires. He said that
his idea was that such q bill should
be passed as would not become a dead
letter by reason of the fact that IL was
obnoxious TO the people. The cost of
roads and streets is divided into three
parts: The cost of making them had;
the cost OF bring them back to their
original condition-these should be cut
out-and the cost Of Improvement upon
the original condition. This cost could
be cut down about half. Wide tires
leave the roads in better condition
than before passing over. Narrow tires
have just the opposite effect. Mr..
Heiskeli quotes many authorities on
road building in support of this posi-
ton.
In the other two cases the show
ing of any disadvantage from wide,
six-inch wheels, is due solely to mud
made by the narrow ~ Inch tires.
Besides, and very much SO at that.
tests Mes. 2, 3, 4, s on bad gravel roads
show 20 per cent. greater pull for the
11s-inch tires; z and 8 show 60 per
cent more pull on bad earth roads:
II, IL and 13 show 33 per cent. more
pull on bad earth roads. and IA and "a

equal.

growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me- Fortunately

kind the elephants furnish that YOU
