A common three-horse evener

Sometimes it is necessary in working
young animals, or light horses, to give
them an advantage. This can be done
by increasing the length of the lever
arm. There is no set rule for deter
mining the amount Of advantage to be
given in the case of small horses. The
most satisfactory way is to use a num-
Der of holes and simply shift the clevis
until the small horse is able to carry
the load the entire day without be-
coming more fatigued than the other
horses. Some claim that the amount of
lever arm or advantage given the small
horse should be in proportion to the
weight, but this is not always satisfac-
tory because it is not taking into con-
sideration the physical condition of
the horses, which is a very important
factor. However, to begin with, this
method of adjustment does very well;
other changes can be made as occasion
requires.

ROTATION OF CROPS
Reply to a Michigan Correspondent

Reply TO Michigan Correspondent
II am growing sugar beets and my
land seems to be decreasing in produc.
ton. What rotation can / use?"
In some localities it has been found
that bss4a do best following alfalfa,
corn and B1hall grains. A very good
rotation is as follows: First, wheat;
second year, beets; then clover for two
years, last crop being plowed under;
then potatoes, and the rotation re-
peated. If alfalfa can be grown in
your locality it is good plan to in
clude this in the rotation.
In Montana the best rotation for
beet raising is as follows: Wheat,
clover, oats, sugar beets, barley and
peas. In Utah the following rotation
gives good satisfaction: First year,
sugar beets; second year, peas and oats
for forage; third year, sugar beets;
fourth year, oats, seeded to alfalfa;
fifth year, alfalfa.

TTIREE-HORSE HITCHES

A Kansas correspondent writes: "ln
making a tbree-horse evener for disk,
/ would like to know where the hole
should be bored. Should two-thirds of
the evener be given to the single horse
to make an even distribution of the
pull, or should it be measured from
the outside of the singletree?"
You will experience but little diff
Guilty in dividing the load equally
among the horses if you take into
consideration the fact that the amount
of work each horse does is in proper
ton to the lever arm or the portion
of the doubletree given to him. In
the case of three horses the third
horse, or one which works singly, in
order to do the same amount of work
as the other two, should be given
twice the length Of lever arm as the
team. The length of the evener and
also the length of the singletrees will
depend upon the size of the horses and
also whether you desire working them
For summer work the horses will
stand the heat little better if given
plenty of room. This is advisable
where conditions are such that more
room can be given and at the same
time not hinder accomplishing the
work satisfactorily.
You will note in illustration No. l,
that the third horse is given thirty
inches of the lever arm, while the
other two are given only fifteen. This
distance is satisfactory for medium
sized horses. Where larger teams are
to be used, it should be increased
accordingly.

FLORIDA PORTS CLOSED
Nc Person from Cuba May Enter
Without Being Quara ntined.

Washington, July 10.-Surgeon Gen

three to five days enroute.

HELPING THE WOMEN

The cream separator is one OF the
few things which specifically allevi-
ate the drudgery of the woman whose
lot has been cast on the farm. No
better argument can be advanced for
the increased sale and extended use
of these machines. The man who
places a separator on farm has done
something for humanity. In the city,
when a housewife has cooked the
meals, washed the dishes, and other
wise cared for little fat with rum
ming water, steam hat, anc electric
lights, her whole duty toward man Is
done. Whereas, in the country a
woman's work is never finished. Give
the average farmers wife only the
housework to do and she would think
she was on a vacation. It is this IN

Union Miners Fire on Homes

AGGRESSORS HAVE 400 RIFLES
West Virginia Has State Troops In
Readiness to Dispatch to Scene
of Trouble, Which Is a Mar.
row, Wooded Ravine.

Charleston, w. Va, July TO- = AS
the result of wild rioting among the
striking coal miners in the Paint
Creek field, orders have been issued
to the two regiments of the National
Guard to hold themselves in readi-
ness for field service. Tt is known
that the miners received 400 addition
al rifles, mostly Winchesters, the lat
ter part of last week. The adjutant
generals office has everything in
readiness to ship the troops to the
scene at a moments notice
For days trouble has been looked
for among the miners and it came.
The men have been on a strike since
April and it has been only a few
weeks ago that coal detectives and
miners engaged in a pitched battle in
which several were wounded. Mon
day night several hundred miners
armed, scattered along the hillsides
at Mucklow, and opened fire on the
homes of nonsunion men, but none Of
the occupants was injured. Several
hundred shots were fired and some
of the houses were fairly riddled.
The Paint Creek country is a mar
row ravine extending back twelve
miles from the Kanawha river and
the hillsides are wooded and steep,
making it. difficult for an attacking
party to gain control. If there is a
repetition of what occurred Monday
night it is probable that the troops
soon will be on their way.
