To Make Harness Last Longer.

A little economy, which sometimes
means a good many dollars TO a man, is
the proper care Of harness, carriage-tops,
etc. Leather in daily use, exposed as 1t
is to sun and wind, soon becomes dry,
Then, very likely at the most unfortunate
moment, a break occurs, and precious time
and money are lost. All this is easily
prevented by a little f~orethought and care
on the part of the owner. Every one own
ing horses should be supplied with a good
leather p~reservative, and a good axle oil.
These two things are necessary to the
largest economical use Of a working outfit,
Of a pleasure equipage.
Observation has shown that no oil pen
etrates leather so deeply, and resists the
drying effect of sun and wind so well as
Eureka Harness Oil.
Neatsfoot and some other inferior oils
sometimes used, easily become rancid, or
because Of containing acid, hurt the leath-
cr. Stable men and others posted on the
subject. invariably use Eureka Harness
oil. When harness is given an occasional
dressing Of this oil, and wagon spiTG,cs
creased with Boston Coach Oil, a very
large reduction Is made In the necessary
repair bills. Boston Coach Oil, by the
way, Is very much superior to Castor Oil.
1t has splendid lasting qualities, will not
gum or corrode, and Is more economical
in every way.
People who are after economy in stable
management will do well TO ask for these
oils.

WHERE THE HIDES GO.
Shoe Men Use Them Up in a Way That
is Appalling-Mayer Factory, Of
Milwaukee, Uses 415.612
Annually.

Steers, cows, calves, goats, horses, sheep
and kangaroos contribute to one or the
greatest Industries on earth.
In the mad whirl of business. people
rarely pause long enough TO consider the
little things of life and how closely they
are identified with the greater ones-how
inseparable, in fact they are, from and
how essential TO them. Take for instance
the shoe business-did ever anyone ponder
long enough to realize the wealth OF actual
energy and animal life expended IN the
production of footwear for the human
race.
AS an example, take the Mayer Boot q
Shoe company, a Milwaukee concern that
In it's 800 working days consumed no less
that 1851 hides of all kinds during the
past twelve months.
Here then we have the hides or 6O,Z9S
steers. 81, l63 cows, 5,704 calves, 1865
goats, $3.50 sheep, 2,523 horses, and l,4Is
kangaroos, all consumed and distributed
by the great Mayer factory within the Pc
riod of a year. Stand these animals In a
straight line and they would cover a dis
lance of 35l miles, nearly one-sixtieth or
the earth's circumference. To bring this
live stock to its final point of destination
required no less than 5000 26-foot cars,
which strung together would cover over 10
miles Of railroad track. 1t takes the hides

demands of this monster shoe enterprise
and were all of them spread out at one
time, 1t would require an area OF over
1000 900 square feet TO accommodate them.
Nearly LOCO skilled artisans are en-
ployed by the Mayer company the year
round making the Honorbit shoe for men,
Western Lady for women. and the cele-
brated Martha Washington comfort shoes;
also school shoes that wear like iron and
work shoes for all classes and purposes.
The total capacity of the Mayer factory is
5000 pairs of shoes a day. The equipment
of this factory IS as thoroughly modern
and up TO date as money and experience
can make IT. Another decidedly favorable
feature is that Of location, which is in the
greatest leather market in the world, thus
enabling the company TO secure first
choice on products consumed. The uni
formly excellent quality of all shoes
turned out by the Mayer factory is large
ly attributed to this fact.

Tho Stock dynamite Story.

Samuel Hopkins Adams, in the Amer
lean Magazine for October, tells some
wonderful true stories about "Dyna-
mite: The Power Untameable." Cor
recting a few delusions, he says:
"A mention Of strange explosion ac-
cidents suggests inevitably the stock
dynamite story which appears in the
papers with a regularity equalled only
by it's surprising geographical distri-
button. l have seen a Scrapbook with
clippings from a dozen different local
titles. each placing the occurrence in a
n~eighboring county. Here it is, boiled
down to the bone:
"'John Smith, while blasting stumps,
Yesterday, laid a stick of dynamite In
a bunch of hay. and his horse ate il
with the hay. When Smith, on his way
home. hit the horse. the animal ex-
ploded, blowing horse and man to
pieces.
This is the Pennsylvania version. In
illinois it was a cow, which blew up
when MIXED. In Mississippi it was a
mule. In New Jersey, Colorado and
California, It was a horse. In Florida,
Kansas and Montana, ii was a calf. In
Iowa and Missouri, it was a dog which
carried the explosive, with tail wag-
ging, to drop it at the masters feet. In
Kansas again, it was a hen which
pecked the dynamite into resentment.
The Iowa and Missouri dogs and the
Kansas hen are possibly as true as a
good many other wonderful stories
from that locality; but there's 81 fatal
flaw about the dynamite-eating ami
mails. This is that n~itroglycerin is a
deadly poison, and would kill horse or
COW before there was time for the own
err to kick him"

Slavery In The sonth.


The Louisville drummer had been read
ing the political news, and after making
a few homogeneous remarks on sectional
differences and other things not germane
to the issue he turned to the drummer
from Maine selling spruce gum by the
carload to make gun shoes out of.
Did you-or any of you Yankees
know that they are still selling 'niggers'
down south? he asked.

speaker. Il saw a man in a Kentucky

confidence. II made inquiry, and he has

This sort of testimony was having its
effect and the Maine man became more
interested.
Tell me about It," he said. II have
a brother who runs a republican newspa-
per. and I'll give the facts to him and
let him work them up into campaign ma
terial."
"well.' and the Louisville drummer
drew his chair up close and became very
confidential. 1.-The mans name is Jenkins,
and he is a coal dealer. He has darby

ers every time he sells a load OF coal, and

ten years. Sells them by the bushel, too

think of that?

and scorned to make reply.

Potatoes Go TO Alaska,

From the Portland Oregonian.
Shipments of potatoes from Portland TO
Alaska this year will be larger than ever
before. Already one firm has sent to the
territory 1900 crates of oregon potatoes,
the largest order in the history Of any
Portland firm from this city to the north
ern country. Half Of the order goes to
the government for it's employees in Alaska
and the other 1900 crates are consigned to
hotels, which buy as a combination.
The demand for the Oregon potato has
been increasing from year TO year, and
especially among the people of the north.
1t seems that the potatoes from this state
are especially in favor among the army
officers of Alaska, and consequently most
of the products of this nature are pur-
chased among the commission merchants
of Portland.
The same firm also made an unusually
large shipment Of potatoes and apples to
the Hawaiian stands on the Hilonian on
its last trip.
