INFLUENCE OF LOAD ON PULL

Tests recently conducted at Iowa
State college show that wagon pulls
harder when the bulk Of the load Is
placed over the front wheels than
when Il Il loaded over ne rear ones.
The actual difference In poands OF

pounds. 80 that the man who carried
the load from the rear Of a wagon to
the front not only works harder him
self but he causes more work 10 be
done By the team as well.
One Of the reasons for this. say the
