TAKING CARE OF HARNESS.
Do Not Let 1t Get Dirty and Dry, as 1t
Will Be Sure to Break.

There is nothing like leather"
But there is nothing like knowing how
to keep your leather goods in fine con.
dition, too. Leather is composed of
mass of fine tendrils, intimately inter.
locked and entwined. When in good,
pliable condition, each tendril is ca.
pable of much stretching.
If allowed to become dry and hard,
when the leather is subjected to a
severe pull, the tendrils break instead
of stretching. But this does not mean
that leather boots or harness should
be kept soaked with oil or dressing.
Elbow grease applied in quantity is
better.
"All dressings should be applied
sparingly," is the sound advice of a
saddlery concern. Black oil should
always be used on black harness and
not neatsfoot oil, as the latter will
draw out the black dye and leave the
harness brown. The black harness
fats now on the market make excellent
farm harness dressing. They contain
the "nourlshment" necessary for keep
AhG bAIO hhlhSoo III SOOu OIuCl
But first, all dirt should be washed
off with luke warm water and ordinary
soap. The black fat should then be
applied with cloth, given short
time to penetrate the leather and then
rubbed dry with another cloth.
Some make the mistake of oiling
without unbuckling the harness. The
parts that need nourishment most are
under the buckles where the metal
causes hardness and brittleness. If
people would vary the holes of the
harness occasionally it would last
much longer.
An objection to neatsfoot Oil is that
it inclines to wash off the beeswax
from the stitches, leaving the bare
thread, which then soon breaks.

The Old saratooa.

Another vessel OF historic name and
deeds has been stricken from the
naval register and will be sold. This
is the old Saratoga, built at the navy
yard at Kittery, Me-, in 1912. The
vessel was named for the 18-gun shop
of war Saratoga, which served gal
lantly in the revolution, and went
down in gale in 1880. The new Sara
toga, after serving as the flagship of
a squadron engaged in suppressing the
slave-trade on the African coast was
sent to help blockade the eastern
coast of Mexico during the Mexican
war. But it was because of its part
in most important act of peace that
the old vessel will be best remem-
Tbered. The Saratoga was sent to the
orient after the Mexican war, and
Joined the fleet of Commodore Mat
thew Calbraith Perry, who had gone
to Japan to deliver the famous letter
which opened Japan to the outside
world The vessel again returned to
Japan in 1854, when the treaty of
amity and commerce was signed.

coupling. This combination makes a
wagon that should last for Is or 20
years. OF course, a low wheel wagon
is not the thing for heavy hauling on
bad roads. They are intended for
farm purposes only.
l would advise anyone on the farm
to buy low wagon with 4.inch tires
and 3A-inch skein. Mine is a 35h-
inch skein, but that is too heavy. This
kind of wagon will not cut up the
field. The draft is bound to be heavier
with a standard wagon.
