two shown here are probably the most
common. Twelve or thirteen feet of
s-inch or 3-inch rope is sufficient to
make a halter and have plenty of
lead.
The One-Loop Halter.
The one-loop halter must be made
especially for the size of head on
which it IS to be used, as it is not
adjustable. On this account, how
ever, it is safer to use than the two
loop halter.
To make this halter, measure from
the end of the rope, about the distance
required to go around the nose. At
this point, CO. Fig. l, make a loop
splice with the loop just large enough
for the rope to pass through. Next
measure from the loop splice, the dis
lance required to go over the head
and down to the proper point on the
opposite side ct is we'll to measure
this halter on the animal on which it
is to be used.) When this distance
has been determined, splice the nose
piece (6, Gig. - into the cheek
piece as at (a) Fig. 1. Now pass the
long end of the rope through the loop
and make an end splice in the end
of the rope. The halter 10 now corn.

is desired. Now make similar open.
ing in the long part of the rope just
above where the short end crosses,
and pass the short end through. (See
Fig. 81 Draw this through and draw
the two openings together. If all has
been done correctly very smooth
splice, with four strands on one side
(see Fig. 81 and two on the other will
be the result.
The Eye Splice.
The eye splice is used in making
an "eye" or loop in the ep of rope.
1t is especially useful in making lead
ropes for leather halters, rope halters,
etc.
To make the eye splice, untwist the
strands at one end of the rope about
six inches. Then double at one end
of the rope about siA inches. Then
double the rope to the size of 'eye"
desired. Arrange the strands as (a),
co.. and Co on the main rope (X).

out from between the same two
strands. Now splice the three strands
(a), CO., and (c) down the main rope
the same as in the short splice.
The Crown and End Splice.
The end splice is used as a perma.
nent fastening in the end of a rope
to prevent it from travelling. The
crown should always be useu in start.
ing the end splice.
To make the crown, the strands are
first UNFINISHED about six inches, then
one Of the strands is doubled to the
right and laid between the other two
strands. (See Crown, Fig. 1a.) Then
the next strand 90 around the rope
to the right, is brought down across
the loop and held along the main
rope. Then the third strand (c) is
passed down through the loop made
by (a). (See Crown, Fig. 2) If all
has been done correctly, the crown
now appears as shown in the illustra-
ton End splice, Fig. l. Now draw
the crown tight by holding the main
rope at (x). end Splice Fig, ~ and
pulling the ends, one at a time, until
all are tight and symmetrical crown

with any one of the ends, pass it over
the strand which lies next to it and

Spring is the busy time all over the
country. Here in the grain belt we
keep on the move to get our small
grain sown, while back east they keep
moving during sugar weather" to
save all the sap. We hardly work all
night to get our grain in, as they do
in the sugar camps to boil the sap and
make ready for the next days run.
Many who work short-handed are
compelled to do this.

The loop splice is seldom used ex-
eept in making rope halters. 1t is
simply a loop for another part of the
rope to pass through. 1t may be made
at any point in the rope and the loop
may be of any size desired
Suppose the splice is to be made
near one end of a rope as would be
the case in making a halter. Double
the rope where the loop is desired.
Through the short end of the rope,
make an opening by raising two of
the strands and pushing the third
strand down. Pass the long part Of
the rope through this opening in the

Science has taught us a great deal
about corn culture and it is a wise
farmer who takes advantage of it..
However, no amount of scientific
theory can insure a good crop of corn
unless backed up by an intelligent
farmer who is willing to work.

The man who has more land under

should let loose of some of it to the

land-owning idea has been overworked

Some students in economics say
many of the people are now living too
fast; in other words, living beyond
their income. I believe this is the
case in the cities more than in the

| While the pure food laws have cur
tailed the sale of many limitations un-
der the name of the genuine, I sus-
pect there is still plenty of Vermont
maple sugar sold that never came
from farther east than Chicago. At
one time there was great stir over
the possibility of making maple sugar

being Yankee by birth, it tasted no
more like the genuine maple to me
than ordinary brown sugar favored a
bit with extracts.
There are farmers who are afraid
that the hog business is again due to
suffer a slump caused by an oversup-
ply. They point out that nearly every
farmer who has been short on hogs
during the high-priced period of the
past are now stocking UP with a lot Of
brood sows. Their idea is to get into
the game and corner some of the easy
hog money that has been on the go
lately Overproduction depends alto
gether on how many get into the same
boat at the same time.
One of the beauties of the grain
drill is that the seed bed can be pre-
pared before sowing the seed. In
broadcasting the usual method is to
scatter the grain and cover with the
disk. In this way very little work can
be done early in the season no matter
how fine the weather may be.

Action Taken to Allow Eattle Axe Team to Pre-
pare for lntercity Championship Series.
Scheduled Games w i'll Be PLAYED

At meeting OF the Richmond ANA
teur Baseball Commission. held at the
Railroad Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation last night. IL was decided TO call
the season OF the Richmond Amateur
League closed. All scheduled games,
however. will be played. The action
taken WITS in order to allow the Battle
Axe team. which won the pennant In

shape for the intercity series between
Richmond and Washington. the first
games of which will be played In that
city on Labor Day September 4.

ability. has been secured 10 coach the
Battle Axes and he will give his best
services in order to get the local lads
in such shape that they can give a good
account OF themselves when they meet
the District tossers. For some reason
or other, the Richmond amateurs are
held rather lightly by the Washingto-
MANS. From some source they have
gathered information which leads them
to believe that they will have little
trouble taking care OF the locals.

why DR.. Parker's team will not have a
chance IS hard to fathom. Each men,
Der OF the team is a good ball player.
The team has been playing together for

organizations In the country which

tional sport. Taking all OF these things
into consideration, the conclusion is
reached that Richmond has surely an
even chance and that the local nine will
not be such easy pickings as some
would have IL thought
The Richmond lads will leave here
