GIVE HARNESS BEST of CARE
When Placed Just Behind Work Team
Leather Becomes Brittle ana Some-
times Breaks Very Easily.

Many farmers hang their harness
in the parn Just behind the work team
so that it VIII be handy when wanted.
OF course 1t is convenient and can be
thrown onto the backs of the norses
in few minutes, but there is con-
siderable loss in hanging the harness
at the back end of the STALL
There is constant passing off of
ammonia from the manure behind the
harness and this has a bad effect on
the leather of the harness. This is
the reason why a harness that is al.
lowed to hang in stalls cracks and
dries out, becomes brittle and some
times breaks very easily. One would
have to keep the leather thoroughly
soaked with oil to prevent injury from
the action of the ammonia.
Then there is danger OF harness be-
ing thrown down into the manure of
the stable by the constant passing OF
the horses from the lot into the stalls.
When it is thrown down and tramped
into the manure it is filthy to handle
and is injured by the action of the
damp manure. Dr.

the barn IN which to hang tine har-
ness. 1t is even better to hang it in
the hallway than over the manure.
The room need not be large. Every.
thing in 1t may easily be kept in
proper order, and ali repair material
should also be located here. This
room should be free from mice and
rats. for these rodents are destructive
to leather.

THE BIGGEST FAKE" CONTEST
CAUSES BIG INTEREST
The greatest fake" contest ap-
pears to be arousing real excitement.
The answers are coming in fast. The
United Charities appears to be the
most general selection, although the
morals squad and few others are
crowding the Charities. Here are
some of today's.
By Earl Pearl, Dunning, Ill: 1,
United Charities; 2, Worlds Greatest
Newspaper; 8, women police squad.
LP., Chicago, Ill: 1, United Char
tiles; 2, Progressive party.
One who doesn't wish his name
printed chooses the Bell Telephone
Co. as the greatest fake.
J. ]. w. submits this: "Of the three
greatest fakes in Chicago, the preach
ers who are clamoring for Billy
Sunday revival are the biggest. Next
come the Hearst papers and the
United Charities.
K. G. isn't quite sure which is the
biggest, but he is sure it lies between
the United Charities and the morals
squad.
Here's the idea of Pedro Rothge-
