How Common Rope IL Made
Of Twisted Hemn Strands

Common rope, such as Is used for
farm purposes, is made up of three
strands, notes q writer in the Indis
ana Farmers Guide. Each strand
is made up of number of twines
or cords. Each tWine is made up OF
twisted hemp fiber The hemp fiber
is twisted to the left in making
up the twines. The tWines are
twisted to the right in making up
the strands and the strands are
twisted to the left again in max
ing the finished rope The object in
twisting alternately in this fashion
is that the spring-back of the fiber
will keep the rope tightly twisted
together causing mutual friction of
all fibers. This friction is increased
when load is applied to the rope
This alternate twisting also keeps
the fibers lying parallel in the 1ope.
If you will notice rope carefully
you will see that even though the
rope is twisted the fbers are parallel
or straight in the rope.

How Dogs Coat Is Clipped

The method of trimming the coat
OF terriers is known as stripping. 1t
consists in the employment of a So
called stripping comb, which is ra-
zorlike appliance fastened to what
looks like currycomb. This is run
through the dogs hair, and by
pressing with the fingers at the
same time one trims off the coat
to the desired length This sounds
quite simple, but as a matter of fact
it requires considerable skill and
agility in managing the instrument,
and should never be attempted by
one who is not experienced or who
is without competent demonstration.

Of 52,646 tons.
Then there the significant in copper and steel

that they foresee heavy requirements In their cover

bought SO heavily that all records broken for single

There question but that last markup in steel
prices will hold Indeed that important raw material steel
scrap has risen again. giving clear evidence of the steel pro-
ducers anticipation of continued demand This is confirmed
by their preparations to increase open hearth capacity
An important factor here is the good buying of railway
