THREE HORSE E\ ROAD WAGON Blacksmith Furnishes Hitch S tracion Which He Has Oft? the Purpose For W Satisfactor Three-Horse Eve *In reply to a query a diagram of a Jhree-horse evener is given, the idea being for two horses to walk in the troad and one on the outside In the first place, if two horses are work on one side of the tongue 1?re will be some side dra't to be malized, htnce there must be so me ray of doing this so that each horse rill be drawing his proportionate frhare of the load. The accompanying >ut illustrates the appearance of the Evener, a portion of the tongue and le of the wagon viewed from be ?eath. H is the axle. B is a block )f wood fastened under the hole rtiere the King pin comes through so [that the iron bar A will be allowed to love back and forth under the axle, ?e from the obstruction of any nuts bolts that may be there. The bar is a flat piece of iron 2% to 3 jches wide and one-half to five-eighths :hes thick, fastened at I by means kthe King pin being lengthened suf ntly and having a key In its end to Jt in place. One arm of this bar twice as long as the other, good ths being twelve and six inches, IINGCALVES FOR THE DAIRY Animals- Need Milk for a (flPPTiile aa Much, as Babies and to Keep Growinc Must Have it. J. yr. INGHAM, Pennsylvania.) In order to raise cattle in the east .with any profit, or without loss, we must have one or the other of the beef breeds. The Shorthorns, Here lords and Aberdeen Angus, are all good and each has its admirers. I prefer the Shorthorns because the cows are generally the better milk ers.. Whatever others may think they ?an do, or have done, I can't raise good calves on dishwater, milk slop ami hay tea. Young calves need milk lor a while as much as babies and to keep them growing right along they must have it. We prefer to have our cows calve tn the fall, both on account of winter dairying and for raising the calves, which if kept in a warm stable dur ing the winter and fed milk, hay and meal will sooner obtain the size most profitable for their disposal to the butcher. Our calves, when taken from their mothers, are each provided with a separate pen for convenience in feed ing so they need not fight for the food bucket, rob each other of their mess, or suck each others ears and navels when done drinking. Tho latter* is a vicious habit winch they soon acquire when two or more are penned together and unless pre vented it soon causes a blemish on the belly. ?Each calf ls provided with a feed ing bucket in a box which is nailed last to the side of the pen. This pre vents the bucket from being upset and the milk spilled by the calves' greedy butting, otherwise the feeder, for safety, would have to stand and hold it while the calves were drink ing. As soon as we begin feeding the calves skim milk, which is about ten days after being taken from the cow, a handful of wheat middlings is put into the milk of each calf and the calves are fed twice a day. The quantity is gradually increased ?ntil a pint or more can be fed to advantage twice a day. After they have become fond of the middlings It is better to feed lt to them dry in stead of putting it into the milk so that they will have to eat lt slower instead of gobbling it down. Oats, corn and rye ground together make good feed for calves in addition to milk, but there ls more danger In feeding this kind of meal than mid dlings as it is moro likely to produce diarrhoea or scours. A little flaxseed meal will improve the ration and sup ply the place of other foods. Before they are four weeks old they are fed a little hay, or rowen, in addition to their milk and meal. There is more danger of feeding too much skim milk than too little, as too liberal feeding of it is apt to bring on the scours. Some calvas caa ?land more than TNER FOR IS ILLUSTRATED bown in Accompanying I II as en Made and Will Answer hieb It Is Designed in y Manner? mer for Wagon. respectively. J is the point of attach ment for the ordinary wagon double tree. Instead of having the ordinary double-tree here, two pieces of flat iron, D and E are used, E being twice as long as D. These two arms arti culate at J, the wagon hammer hold ing them in place instead of the dou ble-tree. The diagram shows these to be fastened underneath the tongue. This is for greater clearness in illus tration. In practice they should rest on top of the tongue just the same as the ordinary double-tree. The two rods, C, connect D and E with the bar A, under the axle as shown. The single-tree F fastenes onto the end of D and the double-tree G onto the end of E. Thus a hitch for three horses is provided, the draft is equalized, and there are two horses on one side of the tongue and one on the other. | A sickle bar from a cast off mower is good material for the bar A. Show this diagram to your blacksmith and if he is any good he can make an even? er that will answer the purpose splen didly, where three horses are required on the wagon. others, but about five quarts at a mess twice a day is enough for any calf if it is supplied with hay, meal and water. We provide our calves with water after they have drunk their milk and give them all they want.

LATEST NOVELTY IN IMPLEMENTS Automobile Plow Is Invented' by Kansas Man-Plowshares Held Down to Work by Weiffbt Thereof. In describing a recent invention ol Oliver H. Lincoln and Edson O. Park hurst of Brownell, Kan., the Scientific American says: This invention, the sectional view of which is illustrated herewith, relates to automobile plows, and it has for its object to provide one, with traction wheels disposed near the front and at all times times in the same position relatively to the engine, whether tho plow is being driven in a straight line or is being turned to one side or the other, the plow-shares being disposed under the engine and being held down to their work by the weight thereof. By a movement of a lever the. plow shares may be moved up or down to a position where they will engage the earth and will do the general work de sired, these plow-shares being secured to the lower frame having the trans verse members. Necessary for Good Shelter. The birds must have access to shelter during the rainy weather. A thorough soaking when they are nearly bare of feathers, is apt to re sult in an attack of roup, or cause a chill that may throw the bird back for weeks. But the hen that gets through the molt early and quickly will almost Invariably prove a good winter layer. Relief for Ingrowing Feathers. Sometimes when a fowl ls thick in the molt it will be seen constantly pecking at one particular place on its body. This may be caused by one or more of the new feathers failing to pass through the skin and causing great irritation. If a needle is passed under the cov ered end of the feather, it will enable it to be drawn above the skin. FAHERT?MI UILDS DOLLARS GROW WHEN PLACO IN teta Copyright 1909, by C. E.
