FIELD AND EIRESIBE.
Facilitating Draught of Horses.

A number of careful experiments have
boon made on this subject during the past
summer in Switzerland and Germany. 1t
has long been known that "dead pull, !" that
is, the drawing of an inelastic and rigid body,
was harder than where the body is elastic
In tho experiments just mentioned an iron
tube was filled with circular pieces Of rubber,
alternating with discs OF sheet iron. The cir.
Giles of rubber aud those of iron were per>
forated in the centre, admitting the passage
of an iron rod attached to cap at one end.
These tubes were interposed at the attach
ment Of the shafts or else were placed be-
tween the collar and the tugs, with the effect
that the horse, instead of being obliged to
"throw himself into the collar" starts the
vehicle by gradual effort
The force required to start and also that re-
quired to pull vehicle were carefully mea-
sured by dynamometer, both with and with>
out the elastic tubes. Ii was found that, for
steady traction, the gain with the tubes
amounted to seventeen per cent =; whilst for
starting, the necessary effort was diminished
by over twenty per cent. Similar expcr-
iments, in which cooled springs were used,
gave analogous results. In view of the great
advantage obtained by this simple means, it
should come into general use. Ono object of
this publication is to dffuse the information
and prevent this useful principle from being
hampescd by a patent Philadelphia Ledger.
