It.would unwise to make any sort of
division of Crook county just now. It
is too thinly settled yet. In due course
of time, when the parent county shal
have;attamed -J5,000 or 30,000 and tax.
able property warrants it, division will
be sure to come, it is inevitable. But it
is not business sanity to divide a county
of less than 10,000 souls, and a moment
of sober reflection should convince any
one of this. When the proper time ar
rives and a just county division law is
enacted, the three cities most concerned
Madras. Redmond and Bend, all of
which have division schemes in mirid,
can settle'' the matter between them
selves. But so long as the whole state
is required to vote upon a matter with
which only a small partis even remote
ly concerned, we would advise electors
to vote an emphatic NO, not only on
the Deschutes proposition but every
other county bill. Prineville Review.

FITTING HARNESS
TO THE HORSES.
Both for comfort nud real good scrv
lco thcro is moro In having properly
fitting harness on horses tunu many
believe. It Is qulto n slmplo task to
fit harness properly Is tho opinion of
a prominent breeder.
Any departure from tho reasonably
perfect fit should never bo tolerated,
first, because It is often a cause of nc
cidents; second, becauso tho harness
which Is too tight or too loose lessens
the working capacity of tho horse, and,
third, becauso negligence on tho part
of tho caretakers and good nature of
tho horse are tho only excuse for a
poorly fitting harness.
Put the bridle on tho horse and con
sider It critically. Is the browband of
the proper length? Few browbands
fit as they should. They nro too loose
and cause the sensitive ears to be pain
fully pinched. Blinkers, those abomi
nations to horses, which owo their
origin to tho defective eyesight of a
foreign nobleman's horse, are bad
enough when In good condition, but
carelessly kept they become warped
and seriously obstruct tho vision.
Looseness Is Dangerous.
If they flare or the neckpieces nro
too loose they lose their effect In tho
one instance and are dangerous, as af
fording fleeting glimpses of following
vehicles, In the other. The checkreln
should bo most carefully adjusted. If

the horse Is compelled to hold his head
too high he loses power, but to have
the check just right gives him a chance
to rest his head and neck. Bits are
often too wide rather than too narrow.
Horses should be rather straight
shouldered, and sore or chafed necks
aro the outcome of collars which are
too much bent at the top. Pads should
not be too broad In the trees, especial
ly if the horse is light in flesh, nnd the
ridge suffers unless a housing Is worn.
They generally fit better when placed
well back, and the girth does not get a
chance to chafe the thin skin at the el
bows.
The breastplates should not bo al
lowed to dangle aimlessly about, as
they have vital important duties to
perform in handling the load. Tight
backhands are very dangerous, as they
are inducive to kicking. Tight girth
ing is never necessary.
Breeching Should Be Set Properly.
The breeching should hang in the
right place and he just tight enough
to come into play when tho traces
slack. Although the pole pieces must
control the pole head constantly, they
should not be drawn so tight as to jam
horses aginst the pole, nor should they
be allowed to dangle loosely. General
ly backhands and girths are made
large enough for some of our prehis
toric monsters and have from four to
six holes each that never see a buckle
tongue.
Throatlatches should always be cruito
loose. Coupling reins should be long,
with several holes In the bit cuds.
When it is desired to work a horse
that has not bepn accustomed to work
for some time or to break :i young
horse It is espoclally Important to see
that every part of tho harness has a
perfect fitting.
Horse's Neck Tells Stcry.
The condition of the horse's neck at
this stage of the farm work Is pretty
good evidence as to whether ithe collar
was made to fit when the htrrd work
was begun In the spring and whether
It has been kept adjusted as tin? shoul
ders have settled to the hard work.
