COLLAR AND BACK STRAP.
Use Of Intelligence In Harvesting The
Draft Horse.

Use Of Intelligence In Harvesting the
Draft Horse.
BY DR.. w. H. DALRYMPLE. Louisiana.
l once visited plantation where
negro plowman rode up and asked If
could tell him what was the matter
with his mules wind the animal hav
ing emitted an unnatural sound while
in the plow. / noticed that the collar.
instead CT being right back in the
collar seat on the shoulder, was at
least four to six inches in front of it.
causing the neck when the animal pull
ed to become tightly wedged in it, or.
in other words, the animal was pulling
the weight of the implement by the
neck instead of by the shoulders. pro-
ducing pressure on the windpipe. and
in consequence the abnormal sound
produced by the animal in breathing.
A collar to fit well and allow perfect
freedom of the animal should have an
even bearing on the shoulders. 1t
should be deep enough below to avoid
pressure on the windpipe and the
large blood vessels Of the neck. There
should be no pinching from side to
side, and the names should be adjust
ed so that the traces will not be at
tached to them too near the point of
the shoulder.
Misplaced Back Strap.
Some years ago / was invited to visit
one of our large plantations to see If
could find out the cause Of death Of
number of the mules mine or ten. be-
ieve) from what appeared to he Il
paralysis Of the back portion Of the
body and the hind extremities. did
so and took up position where could
get a good look at the teams as they
came in in the evening from the field.
was impressed with the fact that
every second or third team had their
back bands placed right back over the
loins. with the trace chains hooked up
to them. In company with the manager
l rode out to the field the next morn
ing and saw the animals at work in
four mule plows. It could then he dis
tinctly seen that those which were
geared up as described were laboring
under a tremendous weight over the
loins through pressure Of the back
bands and were forced almost to the
ground while pulling. I then drew the
attention Of the manager to the conli
tion of things and suggested that he
make it his personal business to see
that the back bands and traces of
every mule on the place We're so ad
justed that no undue pressure would
be exerted over the loins In about
three months l received letter stating
that. in his opinion, the improperly ad
justed back bands were solely responsi-
BILE for the trouble and that he hadn't
had similarly sick mule since the
change was instituted
Some plow hands. who If not careful
ly watched, and to save Themselves:
the trouble of adjusting the mechan
ism of the implement to the depth of
plowing required. will place the back
bands over the loins. hook the traces
up to them and force the animals to
not only pull but lift the plow. causing
a tremendous weight to fall right on
this part of the back. which has no
support from the rigs and under which
are situated the large propelling mus
cles of the hind limbs and the kidneys.

How To Be Beautiful. Though Yachting
The Gowning Problem.

It Is good plan to carry supply of shampoo

say they hone 70 secure a statute similar to the
labor law enforced in Chicago, by which no child
may be engaged in any occupation whatever after
o'clock in the evening
It is said that India, Tasmania and Australia are
far ahead Of America in the enforcement OF laws
to protect and prevent a child from entering upon
stage or business career too early. and that Eng
land is strongly opposed to the employment OF chill
dren in theatres.
II is asserted that no reputable manager will en-
gage child under legal age to take part in a
public performance and that only wildcat com
panies playing short engagements, succeed IN
evading restrictions and penalties attached TO JuVe
nile performances
That others break the law in this respect is
shown by the fact that the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children has within the last
year secured ten convictions for violations OF lhe
theatrical law and six for engaging minors IN dan
gerous performances.
Parents who make capital out of the cleverness
with which their children entertain share the
fate of managers of cheap vaudeville shows anu
so-called sacred concerts. who constantly eVaoe
the law regulating the employment of children on
the stage Fines of s75 and $50 for such onences
serve 70 remind transgressors that the child is no
longer mere plaything OF circumstance anu H4"S
not be sacrificed to greed.
Elbridge T Gerry states that boys who go carry
upon the stage lose their opportunity to receive
an education have their voices strained ana
cracked and end by finding employment IN the low
est class of theatres by becoming thieves ana
tramps Rarely do girls attain any place in
the legitimate theatrical profession after chllo-
hood spent upon the stage
The finale of Juvenile opera companies has been
J so sad that these no longer openly exist.
Such children" said Mr.. Gerry, are wretchedly
paid-usuany about 10 cents a night; they rarely
have any supper during or after the perIoIinahce
and they seldom live to grow up.
Leading theatrical managers are opposed to ch1lo
nlavers and will never employ one unless the play
demands it, Where such necessity exists d chllo
