No rule can be laid down here as to the correct order in whichthe strips should be taken after straight-edging the hide or only would this necessitate dealing with every style of harnessgiven here, but different qualities would also have to be dealtwith, and the various conditions of manufacture. One man mayhave pairs of backs to choose from, of different weightsand substances, and he is thus able to cut out the various parts•vith a better regard to efficiency and economy than the man whohas a single pair for the purpose. Practice and careful judgment are the best tutors in gainingknowledge of this work. The Harness Makers
