ENGLISH DISCOVER
DOGS MOTOR WISE

LONDON, Sept. 19.-With London
casualties on the increase the London
County Council has discovered that
the automobile death toll has not af
fected the canine population, London
ers today having $4,000 more dogs
than they had eight years ago.
The London County Council has an
nounced that while there was a con-
siderable decrease in the number of
dogs in the councils area in the first
four years after 1917, there has been
an enormous increase since-with the
present resultant addition of $4,000
to London's canine population.
Dog lovers have decided that mas
much as accidents to their pets are
certainly fewer than they used to be,
the only explanation is that dogs have
become motor wise.

EARLY APPROVAL

Further, Mr.. Campbell said, the
delinquent tax report was out and APP
proved by the commissioners court six
weeks earlier than in previous years.
The efficiency of the office and the
thoroughness with which it is operat-
ing, is attributed by county officials
to its reorganization and the estaD-
lishment of a new system of collect
ing effected by Mr.. Campbell.
This year. for the first time, tax
payers of Bexar county will receive
regular statements of the taxes due.
Delinquency in tax payments, Mr..
Campbell said, are largely due to the
fact that the average taxpayer does
not know how much he owes.

5. A. CLAY PLAN
/ To REOPEN
SHORTLY
Elmendorf Kilns, Idle Five
Years, to Be Worked
in Near Future.

Transfer Of the Star Clay Products
Company Of Elmendorf, one Of the big
rest and best fire brick kilns in the
United States, was announced Satur-
day by Adolf Wagner. San Antonio
business man, and former owner, who
said the new owners will commence
operations in the near future.
And at the same time came an.
nouncement of still other valuable clay
deposits around San Antonio that may
pave the way for greater industrial
expansion Of the city.
The Elmendorf plant has been closed
for five years under lease to eastern
capital. the property being involved in
litigation until recently.
BIG DEPOSIT.
4 The plant is located in the center of
one Of the biggest deposits of fire
clay in the United States, testing rs
Per cent silica, the highest percentage
TO be found in this country. This sup
ply win last 500 years, Mr.. Wagner
said.
When the plant was started in 1908,
pottery of all forms was manufactured
but this was later abandoned for fire
brick and building tile.
Many San Antonio skyscrapers are
lined with products OF this factory,
which operated until 1921. The de-
mand for fire brick in Mexico was such
mat the entire output could have been
disposed of there, at the time the plant
vas shut down.

FIND CALICO CLAY.
Coincident with the news of the re-
opening Of the plant came the dis
covery of a rich vein of calico clay
on the damsite in Oimos valley. This
clay was found by workuen Saturday.
embedded in strata of rocks 50 feet
below the surface.
Miss Ellen d. Schulz, curator of
the San Antonio museum, said the
clay is used in making fancy pottery.
Mayor Tobin expressed the belief that
the finding of the calico clay might
draw pottery kilns here.
The Elmendorf plant had a capacity
Of turning out tons of manufactured
products day. approximately $1,000
daily output. Five big kilns are To-
Gated at the plant and there is a cham
Der kiln with eighteen compartments,
eqnalling in capacity nine of the out
side kilns.
A mountain, four and one-haf miles
away, yields the fire clay which is
stripped from the ground and taken
TO the plant by tramway. Here it
is ground, mixed with water, pressed
into brio ksnd tile, dried and then put
in the kilns.

TAX PAY MENTG
/, SET RECORD
IN bEXAR

All records in the collection Of back
taxes have been broken.
Such was the announcement Satur,
day of Tax Collector r. Neil Camp
bell when a check showed that $780,.
900 more in back taxes had been
turned into the Golfers of Bexar coun-
ty on September 1 than had ever
been collected by that date before.
With the announcement showing
the efficiency in which the collectors
office is running. Mr.. Campbell also
made public the fact that tax collec-
tons this year will begin October i.
This means Mr.. Campbell said, that
citizens of the county can start pay
ing their taxes six weeks earlier than
before and eliminate the inconvenience
that has hitherto resulted from the
congestion at the end of the year.

At the hotel, King said, Shorty"

exposed a roll of $1,000 and seemed
eager for the game. Shorty loaned
Mr.. King 500 with which TO get
into the game. Calling King down
the hall, shorty" arranged a series
of signals which would be flashed to
enable him TO win.
One finger was one pair, two fin
gers two pair and so on, but if Shorty
closed his first it meant "Mr. Brown"

HD UTH" the black and white
COW owned by Jude Huber Of
~ Belt, member of the Cascade
County Cow Testing association, is
the champion milk and butter fat
producer among the COW testing as
sOciatiOns of Montana. For several
months this Holstein has led the
Cascade association and during the
month of September she advanced to
a place at the top for the entire state.
During this month she produced
24OO pounds of milk and 91.2
pounds of butter fat. The month
previous the grade Holstein Lizzie, "
owned by Jams Jansma of the Yellow
stone association was first with a
production of 1876 pounds Of milk
and 88.6 pounds of butter fat.
Second place for September went

owned by Mr.. Jansma, with a pro-

ually are snapped into the single
tree of the horse next between them
and the draft chain of the equalizer.
Buck straps usually are adjusted so
that they slightly loosen when the
horse is in proper position, but tight
en- up after the single-tree drops to
the ground when the horse stops.
This is the recommended method and
the one in use on most big team
farms. The two checks which ex-
tend from the ring in the end of the
heavy strap to the bride bits also
are adjustable, and can be adjusted,
to make the animal walk straight if
it tends to crowd. In unhitching,
teamsters snap the rear end of the
buck strap upon the hip portion of
the harness at that point where the
regular tugs are usually fastened,
and the bit snap to the hame line
rings. The buck strap should be run
through the hip strap loop, as shown
in Figure "a, which prevents the
horse from stepping upon or over
the buck strap and causing a bad dis
tUrbance in the team.
Horses are some times bucked
back from the bride by means of
the Schmeiser clamp. In bucking in
this manner the regular bride rein
often is used, in which case it usual
ly is heightened. To it is attached
a clamp containing an eye. This
clamp may be placed upon the reg
ular bride check rein so as to adj
just the pull on either side. A rope,
chain or strap is snapped to this eye
and passes through the hip strap loop
to some part of the equalizer or sing
~le-tree of the next horse, as shown in
Figure SO.
Some ~teamsters, instead of using a
halter rein, use a rope halter tie eye
clamp in the center as described
above. Other teamsters may use the
same principle, but instead of using
a clamp an ordinary loose ring is

County association was second with
an average production Of SIS pounds
per COW. First place in butter fat
production went to the Plains Cow
Testing club with an average Of 27.9
pounds per COW.
In the large herd class, Mr.. JAMS
was the winner with an average
production per COW of 971.9 pounds
of milk and 1857 pounds of butter

Of milk and 5O.2 pounds of butter
fat per COW. A. Senty of the yell

alton placed third in individual but

By bucking back is meant tying a
horse to some part of an equalized
hitch in such a way as to make pos
sible two results:
(A). If the horse gets too far
ahead it pulls him back as the driver
would do if he had a twO-hOrse team
with lines.
OBJ It gives control of the entire
team through the leaders. When
the leaders stop (under control of
the drivers lines) the equalizers and
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-11-20

A team cannot run away as long as
the leaders are under control and,
when standing, it is impossible for
the team to start until the leaders
start.
Kinds of Buck Straps.
The regular leather crotch rein
buck strap is the best type and is
used in California, Oregon and Wash
ington with 32-hOrse combine har-
vester teams. The checks, which
have bolt snaps at the ends, as

shown in Figure 80, are adjustable
by means of a Conway loop so that
in case a horse has a tendency to
throw it's head or to walk sideways,
it can be corrected. The long part
of the buck strap, or the part run
ming from the check ring to the draft
chain, is also adjustable according to
the length of the horse and the tug.
The snap at the end may be attached
to the draft chain in the case of a
horse working next to the chain, as
is shown in Figure "a.

next to the draft chain. When the
horse tries to get too far ahead, it
has a tendency to pull him back and
to pull his head down toward the
chain. The farther back on the
draft chain he a be bucked in this
manner the better. AS it will tend
to pull his head down, a check rein
will be necessary. To buck back a
horse which is not next to the chain

from the check when U~nhitching.
BuCking from Chin Strap r Bride
Bucking from a chin strap or
bride is a makeshift method but
may be used at times. It is more
frequently used with string teams
than with bunch teams. If used with
bunch teams, the fast horses are put

prevents the horse from lOafing
back, the same as the buck strap pre-
vents him from working too far
ahead. 1t also steadies the team
and prevents spreading. However, it
is not as important as bucking back.
Horses should be tied according to
the way they work rather than on
the principle of leading. If, for ex-

pull of the buck straps, on the rear
teams. If the driver bucks back his
team correctly, he has perfect con-
troll of the entire team. Most good
teamsters use buck straps on all of
the horses except those in the lead.
Buck straps make it impossible for
a horse to get ahead of his proper pO-
sitiOn in relation to the draft chain.

ample, n horse tends to crowd
another, he should be tied to prevent
this. Sometimes, they are tied
straight ahead to the single-tree, as
shown in Figure 37-A, and at other
times by a cross tie, as in Figure
BIB. Those who cross tie argue
that it helps in handling the team
in turning and furthermore, that it
keeps the team from spreading.

so doing, they pull back on the
horses of each team through the buck
straps, just as would be the case II
the driver were checking them with
lines. Likewise, the rear pairs can
not start until the leaders start and
raise the draft chains and slacken
the buck straps, thus relieving the
