OIL YOUR HARNESS

All of the leather goods on the farm
should be carefully treated at least once
a wear and the farmer can make no
better wages on rainy day than
to spend the time in Oiling harness.
Harness leather is subjected to the
adverse conditions Of sweat from
the horse and Of rain. Rain or
sweat only have slight effect
upon oiled leather while it will rot dry
leather very readily
Wash The harness in tepid water and
laundry soap. 1t should be rubbed
thoroughly with cloth and brush until
renfectly clean and then hung up for
a few moments until the surplus water
has drained off Then, before the
leather is dry, apply meats foot oil OF
castor oil with cloth, rubbing the OF
well into the leather.
The oil should warm so that it can be
worked into the leather more advantage.
! ously. Some tallow may be added to
the oil for the heavy work harness
! Applications of oil to work harnes:
should be rather heavy and that TO
buggy harness, light. After the oil ha
been applied for about half hour, tn
surplus should be wiped off with dr..
cloth.

May Follow Harrington Plan

The action of H. Ridgely Harrington,
of Dover, who is reducing the high cost
of living in Wilmington, by selling pro-
duce from cars, has greatly stimuli ated
interest in all sections of the State. and
itsis likely that some of the farmers
who this year grew large quantities of
potatoes will follow the example set by
him in disposing of their produce.
Hundreds of bushels of white and sweet
potatoes are stored away for the winter
as we'll as tons of cabbage and many
bushels of potatoes. Some. farmers
have as many as three and four hun
dreds of bushels of turnips buried.

( PERFECT SHAVING BRUSH

The Scribe has had a pleasant eat
perience recently, growing out Of his
purchase of one of those famous, ne
plus ultra, s.Rubberset" shaving brush
Aes, the kind whose bristles alIstick.
|feverlastingIy. and wear and wear tip
like the two fighting Kilkenny cats tail
|9ied across the clothesline. there's
nothing ssft but the handle!
& PArhaps ia bis delight. at feeling the
thick mat soft, long bristles, he used
/ ii too roa or perhaps his Rubber
set',was I those black-sheep pc,
cidents that \times occur in the
best regulated "a Miles, but for some.
reason his brush proved disappointing,
and he wrote the Rubberset Company
about it. 4.
ager. Mr.. W. NJ Neal. sent three
brushes for the Scribe and the Editor
of The Transcript, two different lengths
of bristles. This generous determina-
ton of the Rubberset Company to make
their guarantee good even though the
Scribe was himself to blame, discloses
spirit of business fairness not to say
downright generosity, as delightful as t
is rare. Yet on reflection there is
manifest propriety that so superior an
article as the ''Rubberset Shaving
Brush" should be promoted by gentle
men having manners as superior as the
brush they make!
So if any reader of The Transcript,
wishes to make fine Christmas present
to some male friend, whether he be a
youth with the newly sprouted manly
down upon chin and jowl or frosty
greybeard pestered with ever recurring
bristles, let him buy one Of these never
shed "Rubberset Shaving Brushes >
all dealers have them and he will have
made the donee his grateful debtor for
life-for life, because with proper US
age this superb shaving brush, the
"Rubberset, will last a(lifetime.
| To show how ample guarantee goes
with each brush let us quote from their
Sales Managers letter.
''Our action in.sending you the brush
es was in no way Influenced by your
very pleasant promise of reciprocity,
but the course followed was lndentical
with that which would bave been Car
ried out in the case of any man who
bought Rubberset shaving brush and
found, that it did not live up to the
guarantee. Our brushes must make
good, or WE WILL, regardless of
whether the owner be q ditch digger or
| the President. =
What better assur ice could one
have of a high grade article than 2
guarantee as broad as that None but
"Rubberset" shaving brush maker
would dare do the like.
