on a pulley above the door of the
NOW. The tackle that draws the fork
up is attached to horse and when
the fork seizes a bundle Of hay the
horse is driven forward and the load
raised. When the hay is dropped the
horse is backed to lower the fork.
Ordinarily this requires the services
of a man or boy to lead the horse, but
in the automatic leader the animal Is
hitched to an endless cable that moves
between two uprights and keeps him
always in a straight line. All that
need be done with any well-brOught-

Back" to him, as the case may be.
