We are asked how to make q plain
three-horse evener. The following direc-
tions are generally followed. but it
seems to US that the one horse still
has a slight. advantage. Take a stick
of strong wood 2x4 inches or :2x6. four
feet one inch long. Bore one hole. about
an inch from the edge and just Is inches
from this bore another. The last one
is for the pillow clevis and the first one
for the two-horse double-tree. Then just
80 inches from the blow clevis hole.
bore one for the one-horse single tree.
The principle of the thing is that one
inch is given to the two horses and
two inches to one horse. with this
evener none of the hors es walk on the
plowed land.
To Dakota Farmer: Does the law
allow an entryman to take q full quarter
section in the middle of a half section
and if. so is he obliged to allow one rod
of land on each two sides o his land to
the entrymen of the adjoining eighties
for his share of the public highway
A.. Kidman, Stutsman Co., N. D..
Under the law every section line is a
public highway; that is around each
and every section of land is a public
road four rods wide. The entryman who
takes his 100 acres in the center of the
north half of the section thus leaving
an 80 on each side of him, has a road
simply along the north border of his
land. Each of said 80 acre tracts has a
public road along the north border of
the land. and along the side abuttine
the section line. There is no public
road between the 80 acre tract and the
100 tract. There is no public highway
on the south of these tracts. Your entry
contains the full amount of 100 acres
and the fee is in you for that number Of
acres. but there is a strip of land two
rods wide off your 100 acres over which
the public has an easement, that is, a
right to use the same for public travel,
- a.f..-- -
this stip being oil the section line,
as stated above. Every owner of land
is the absolute owner of the same to the
center of the pubic highway adjoining.
subject to the easement aforesaid.
