SPEED OF THE WORK TEAM
wn,,. some May be Pastor, tho Average
Speed Of the Farm uorse It WORK
h Two Miles an Hour.


A few evenings ago / chanced to
overhear some conversation py somo
Young farmers, and the subject was
pretty well discussed as to the rate o.
speed made by the averages farm team
when at work in the field, and, hke
Young America generally, they were
ready to admit that they had GOOD
walking teams. know that some OF
them prided themselves in making
their teams show of their good quaii-
ties, and the general opinion was that
teams would walk two and one-haf
miles or more an hour when Mt work
in the field, while some thought the
three-mile mark would be reached In
some kinds of work.
1t is very slow horse that Will not
walk more than two miles an hour,
while q good walking horse will go
three miles an hour, and some Will
do even more than that. Let rs do .
little figuring and see what would be
accomplished. We will start with the
two and one-half mile gait, and there
is scarcely 4 farmer who is willing TO
admit that his team is slower than
that, but we will take that, ands4Or
convenience count it ten hours day,
Is miles-that looks rather large when
we are plowSaR J6-inch burrows Il
takes 4 little less than SIX miles OF
travel to plow an acre, so you see
bv the time we have reached
the twer rty-lifth mile post there are
about four and one-third acres plowed;
pretty big, isn't il? Well, three acres
q day, that will do then; about seven
teen and eight-ninths miles will be
travelled, which would be about one
and four 6fths miles an hour.
Well, let's start out to harrow. The
harrow takes Is feet wide, and strip
of land that wide 25 miles long would
make trifle over a. acres. TwO-thirds
that many acres would be good days
work, and one and three-ifths miles an
hour would do il. Now, when plant
ing. My planter is three and one-haif
| feet wide, and it takes = little more
than one and onc-seventh miles OF
sravelto plant an acre, and Is acres =
day is good work; q little less than
one and one-half miles an hour would
do it To illustrate it another way,
and see how it looks: We are most OF
ms familiar with the 60-rod field. In
planting 15-inch burrows it is no difi-
| cult matter to make four rounds an
hour, which would be $40 rods travel
| an hour, and ten hours would be 6,4eo
rods, or 20 niles-just two miles an
| hour; working nt that rate would plow
nearly three and one-fonrth acres, SO
| we find that farm work Is generally
done at less speed than two miles nm
hour.-Cor. Wallace Farmer.

More than 50 years ago Lachlan Nc
Donald left his home in Strathspey,
Scotland, and went TO the shores of
Lake Winnipeg. He did not neglect to
carry with him his beloved bagpipe,
and many an evening it spoke to him
of the old home beyond the seas. Even
in the daytime, when he was busy in the
woods telling trees, he would have it
by his side, and on one occasion he had
reason to be glad that it was SO near.
He was merrily swinging his AK, when
he was suddenly surrounded by party
of Indians, who looked very formid-
able ms they drew nearer, gesticulat-
ing in particularly threatening man.
ner. Things began to seem ominous,
when happy thought came to the
Scotchman. Seizing his bagpipc, he
blew blast SO loud and long and shrill
that the startled red men looked upon
him for a moment in CONSERVATION, and
then took to their heels, never stopping
till the thick shadows of the forest hid
them from the man who could give
vent to such an unearthly scream.
They did not forget that prolonged cry;
from that time the Scotchman was
known among them as the great
screamer Of the pale faces. ."-Youth's

The Elko Library and Museum.

We want to call attention TO the
idea of the schools to establish q Ii
brary and museum for the use of the
stu tents in particular and the public
in general. Ever. one knows the
value of Iuch things in any school
center, such as Elko aspires to be.

been enlarged by contributions from
visiting brothers, who u, came utter
es:ed III the work of the lodge.
Many Il sci DOL museum has been
enriched from private collections
which were doing little good at
home. The owners became c0nvinc.
ed that specimens and curi0s would
be appreciated and well used by the
schools. Y. M. g. Associations all
over the land have grown in useful

can be seen. The effort Of Elko's

FARM WORKING TEAMS.
They Should Re Evenly Matched and
Well HArnessed.

Well Harnessed.
In working farm teams, either for
blowing, cultivation of the land or
hauling heavy loads, there are at least
two prime requisites demanded for in
surfing satisfaction to the driver and
the greatest amount of ease and COM
fort to the horse, says the Indiana
Farmer. First, they should be evenly
matched as to size, speed and spirit, and
in the second place the harness and
whitfietrees must be SO balanced and
adjusted to the load that an even pull
will bear equally upon the weight to
be drawn. The average plowman is
liable to overlook the Importance of
this equal adjustment system, and it is
not uncommon to see the end of the
doubletree to which the furrow horse
is hitched several inches, often foot,
lower than the other as the team pulls
the plow along; this not only adds la
Dor and friction, but it throws the
running of the pillow out of balance,
making it harder for the plowman and
impossible for the best class of work
to be performed. The whiffletree, or, as
they are known to some, the double
trees, should be level when the pull is
on and not cooked up at one end, atwist
as is too often the case. 1t can all be
obviated by proper adjustment of the
harness and by using the larger horse,
if there is difference in size, in the
furrow; the lowering or raising of the
traces at the breechings and backband
as the occasion requires, will do it.
