The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1907-11-01

Answer.-A mixture Of neatsfoot oil,
one gallon; bayberry tallow, two
pounds; beeswax, two pounds, and
beef tallow, two pounds, makes an ex-
cellent dressing and one which does
not cause the leather to crack, as some
of the prepared dressings do. Put the
materials above mentioned In q pan
Sver moderate fire till they are dis
solved. To this add two quarts Of
castor oil. After this has dissolved and
become mixed with the other materi-
ais, add one ounce of lampblack. Mix
well and strain through fine cloth
to remove all undissolved particles.
AS soon as the mixture is cold enough
1t is ready for application.
Before applying 1t to the harness you
should see that the leather Is perfectly
clean. A specially prepared soap may
be obtained at any harness store, and
with this the harness should be well
cleaned. AS soon as the harness has
been oiled with the dressing and the
leather has taken all the oil it possibly
can the surplus oil on the surface
should be removed. This is usually
done by allowing the harness to hang
upon line for day or two, then take
n clean cloth and wipe off all the oil
and grease from the leather. BY pur.
chasing little black paint or nickel
you can dress up the buckles, and the
harness will look as good as new.
Harness should be dressed up at least
once each year. If this Is done the life
will be about twice as long as it is
when no dressing is used. There are
several prepared dressings which are
good, but the farmer can make home
made dressing, as above suggested,
which is as good as the best and
great deal better than some of the
dressings now offered on the market

Answer.-Three cabbage worms are
quite common in this country. They
are the imported cabbage worm, the
plrsia and the zebra caterpillar. The
imported worm comes from eggs laid
by a yellowish white butterfly which
has two black spots upon its wings.
The worm is a small greenish insect
about the color of the cabbage leaves.
The center of the body is somewhat
larger than either extremity. There
are several generations of these worms
each year.
The plusia attacks a number of gar
Zen crops, but seems to prefer the
cabbage. The adult Is a very hand
