Hauling" in Oxen
Having dealt i'll and used oxen for the last
twenty years | have frequently purchased
those that had become addicted 10 the VIC
lous habit f"hau.int" The ca,I,, Of this i,
perfectly simple, and the remedy equally so.
The cause OF oxen hauling is 10 be attributed
uniformly TO their ha,in. been working in
too short yoke. Hence the proper remedy
Is 10 put on longer Noke-Sav. Tor large on
en-, two feet between the inside bow holes,
and my word for it Your oxen will not haul"
worked IN such yoke. And here let me add
''la' IL Is great error among many OF our
best farmers, particularly in the western and
more level portions of our State, to work
Their oxen in too short a yoke 1t must be
apparent to every observer that they will
work much easier in long than shor, woke
have purchased great many cattlcpf the
very best farmers in your cous'rS, and in the
Genesec valley, and have always noticed this
defect IN their yokcs, while in the Central
a"" more eastern portions of the State they
are obliged to use longer ones Indeed how
would our Eastern or New England farmers
rlow on their hll-sides with a Monroe or

short yoke
