A magazine editor was sadly prais-

In Sicily, who achieved no little fame
as poet under the pen name OF
Fiona Mcleod.
Sharp" he said, wrote melan-

was one day praising the real literary
talent that humble, uneducated people
often show in conversation.
He said that in Londonderry one
afternoon he was seated in a barber
shop when farmer entered to get his
hair cut. The farmers locks had an
odd. ragged look and the barber, after
regarding them scornfully, said:
Who cut your hair last, old man.?

EvENs THE LOAD ON HORSES.
Continuance Enables Each Animal to
Draw ProportionateIy.

Some time ago a four-horse evener
was described and illustrated In your
columns. VIII you give the dimen-
sions OF the same?
Single whifetrees OF three horse
eveners are % inches in length and
double trees between the outside pins
are 33 inches in length, allowing a
play of 5 inches between the single
trees. For the four horse eyener
quadruple tree should be twice the
length OF the double tree, that Is Sc
inches. In the illustration 1t is evil
dent that the brace running at right
angles to the pole should be of the
same length as the quadruple tree,
namely. sc inches. II the proportions
are carried out, the three braces be-
hind the long tree form an equilateral
triangle. and. therefore. should all be
Sc inches in length. 1t may be, how
ever, that these proportions would
throw the whiffietree too far forward.
II so, the two diagonal braces run
ming forward from the cross-brace to
the whiffietrees should be shortened.
The brace running forward again from
the whifletrees to the pole should be
carried as far forward as possible,
provided it does not interfere with
the action of the horse Immediately
in front of it. The quadruple tree
should not be bolted to the pole, but
should swing free about the bolt at
its center. If it were bolted at the
pole. and the team on the off side
should lag, then the pole team would
be drawing the whole load, and vice
versa
The pole of the neckyoke should be
carried by the pole team. There is no
possible way of placing any part of
the pole load upon the off team with
out unduly burdening the nigh horse
of the pole team. Under any possible
distribution of the load on the neck
yoke. the nigh horse at the pole team
cannot carry less than one-half, and
