CARE OF HARNESS. 



Proper care of harness is a needed economy on many farms. It 

 should be hung up in a dry shed when not in use, and not thrown down 

 on the ground, as is often the case. Twice a year, at least, it should he 

 thoroughly washed and dressed with neatsfoot oil. A good dressing 

 for black harness can be made from 2 lbs. mutton suet and 3 lbs. beeswax, 

 melted over a slow fire, 4 lbs. sugar, 2 lbs. lamp black. 2 lbs. soft soap, 

 and \ lb. indigo powder. When the whole has been thoroughly mixed, 

 half a gallon of oil of turps should be added. If the harness is brown 

 the lamp black and indigo powder can be left out. Cop])er rivets have 

 their place as a means of repairing harness, but it is a mistake to put 

 these in some places where stitching is necessary. Collars should be 

 well fitting, and it is essential to hang them up when not in use. While 

 there is little danger of sore shoulders when a hard, well-fitting collar 

 is used, if the lining becomes broken it should receive immediate atten- 

 tion. It is better to put a pad above and below a sore than to cut a 

 hole in the collar, but when this has to be resorted to it is advisable to 

 sew the lining so that the liodv of the collar is kept firm.^ — .litrhland
