ADJUST THE HARNESS RIGHT
Collar Boiis Often Caused by improper
Fastening of the Trace Chain
on the hame.

Collar hollis are often caused by i'm
proper adjustment of the fasteninss OF
the trace chain on the hame. Every
hame should have several places for
adjustment and the regulation should
be made to conform to the slope of the
shoulders of the individual horse.
Horses with straight shoulders should
have traces about midway OF the hame
while horses with sloping shoulders
should have the adjustment about two
tifths of the way up from the bottom.
Adjustment of the backband will in
a measure correct any weakness in the
formation of the shoulder. The back
band can be made not only to carry a
part of the weight, thereby adjusting
the dept of the plow, but it can be
made to adjust the draft to fit the
horses shoulder. The adjustment can
be made either by shortening the back
band or moving it farther back on the
horse. The length of the trace should
be such as to prevent the horses legs
knocking against the singletree and
still have no surplus length.

LANDS SUITABLE FOR SHEEP
Animals Do Best Where Grasses Ars

by Cultivation.

Sheep do best on high, dry land
that is, on hard-soiled land, where the
grasses adapted to sheep are produced
naturally, or are easily introduced by
cultivation. The short grasses, OF
such as usually are termed pasture
grasses, are essential to the well-be-
ing of the sheep. Cattle and horses
viii thrive and do well on hay grasses,
on wet land grasses, tall grasses, but
with the sheep it is different; they
lepend on the short-growth, dry-soil-
pasture gre sses. 1t is important that

VOTERS KNOW THE TRUTH
Country Has Always Been Prosper.
GUS When the Republican Party
Held the Reins of Power.

Incapacity for governing Is charged
against the Republican party by Wood
row Wilson in his speech accepting
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent. This kind of partisan chatter
may please the violent partisans in
Democratic ranks, but will be smiled
at by most people acquainted with the
recent history OF our country.
The greatest progress in American
history and the highest prosperity
ever attained by the United States
came in the 1G-year period of Repub-
lican party government from 1897 to
1913. In this period the Republican
party not only put on the books Of
the nation Il vast amount of wise legis-
lation. but it gathered the material on
which practically all the good fea-
lures of legislation in the past four
years were based.
Candidate Wilson discussed the cur
rency law at length. claiming great
Democratic achievement therein. But
1t was the labor of years by Nelson w.
AIdrich, Republican senator from
Rhode Island, and by julius C. Bur-
rows, Republican senator from Michi-
gan, that provided the data for the
drafting of the currency law. And in
addition, when his own majority party
members were in revolt against the
administration measure 1t was to the
Republican members of congress that
President Wilson turned with an up-
peal for aid and from whom he re-
ceived it. The Democrats convenient
ly forget that when there Is little
credit to be claimed.

SOMETHING TO THINK OVER
Statistics Of American Trade Show
Danger That Menaces country's
Most Vital Interests.

Reducing II to dollars and cents,
what do we find in regard to American
trade during the past few years?
Our exports, exclusive of war sup
plies. have gone down nearly 40 per
cent. Our imports of foreign made
goods, that compete with American
made goods in American markets. have
increased. in the case OF Canada alone.
more than GO per cent.
Imports from Canada Increased
from S120,57l,1SO to $2O4.01S,227,
when we compare the figures OF the
last year under the Republican protec-
tive tariff law with those of the pres
ent year. under the Underwood nom
protective Democratic tariff law.
Exports for the 1O-month period
from August, 1915, to May, 1916. were
$3,GOl 100000. Practically twO-thirds
of these exports were war supplies.
Only about 81 300, ,OO0. 600 consisted of
peace products. In the first l0-month
period under the Underwood law. Oc-
tober, 1913, to August, 1914, exports
totaled $1,9J2 100000. These were
peace products. the expectation of
which had slumped from n total of
S2,110, 100000 in the 1O-month period
from October, 1912. to August, 1913.
under the Payne law.
In other words, we are exporting 40
per cent less of peace products and
importing 40 to 60 per cent more Of
foreign goods under Democratic nom
protective tariff than we did under the
Republican protective tariff.
1t takes no expert mathematician
to figure the meaning of this busi-
ness showing, or the ruinous conse-
quences when peace prevails In Eu-
rope. Just think it over.
