A common three-horss eyener

sometimes 1t 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 mum.
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.
s1deration the physical condition of
the horses, which is very important
factor. However, to begin with, this
method Of adjustment does very well:
other changes can be made as occasion
requires.

THREE-HORsE HIrcHks

a Kansas correspondent writes, "In
making three-horse svener for a disk.
would like to know where the hole
should be bored. Should two-tlirds Of
the eVener be given to the single horse
20 make an even distributSsn of the
pun, or should it be measured from
the outside Of the singletreef"
You will experience but little diff
Guilty In dividing the load equally
among the horses II you take into
consideration the fact that the amount
OF work each horse does is in propor.
tlon to the lever arm or the portion
OF the doubletree given to him. In
the case of three horses the third
morse, 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
close together or somewhat spread out.
For summer work the horses will
stand the heat little better II given
plenty Of room. This is advisable
where conditions are such that mora
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.
