In trials atthe Illinois Industrial Univer.

ordinarily powerfully muscled farm horses,
one weighing about 1850 pounds, the other
over ! 400 pounds, at q "dead pulp drew
1000 and 1,025 pounds each. This was
when the band was so frightened that the
strengthening Of the traces gave the horses
the benefit Of their own weight. With
loose band, allowing the traces to rise nat
urally, each horse drew 800 pounds less.
These horses were both we'll shod. Another
horse OF about the same apparent strength
as these, but unshod, could only draw 675
pounds with tight band. In each case the
horse was hitched to the end of a rope
about 150 feet long, having the benefit OF
the stretching Of the rope as a relief froma
