'V TREASURE STATE MGM AND L11VESTOCK Proper \IL* Team\ Equalizers Distribute the Pull and Lighten the Iturden of Horses (Front the Montana State College). (This is the tenth of the series of \Big Team\ articles). I T HAS been pointed out that big teams were not practical until equalized hitches wer einvented so that animals of different tempera- ment might be driven together. Prior to the use of the equalized hitches some horses often would lunge ahead when the team started, trying to pull the whole load themselves. Unable to do this, they would fly back and practically free, thus making a dead load on the more energetic horses. He worked out an equalizer to make the slow horses pull their share of the load. From the time of Schandoney's invention, his hitch has ISCIV mop rrlyebrir Inv bit *I Mora rbinagb of mow bona erroilb Ibrom boa re loaner el Wier Perm re iv rvv.v. ©D.. aria --• torn , ISDUIV. clrio• &tor lam albover obi leirtb bob rirbb ...Yr MIR br sr boa ember we. bervora b•••••• Home Made Ilioches. While the above described hitches are regularly manufactured the Horse Association hitch illustrated in Figure 44 can be made in the farm shop or by the local blacksmith. The detailed drawing shows the princi- ples and specifications of the hitch as suppled by the Horse Association of America, Union Stock Yards, Chi- cago. \Construction details: All even- ers shown and which have to with- stand the full pull should be of 2 x often has to make a choice between\ oak and red fir. While fir is tough, it slivers badly. This can be partly prevented by binding the equalizer parts with strap iron. Equalizer bars are not, so apt to break as one might think because the tension of the entire equalizer is like a spring. The advantage of this is that any number of tmrses can be worked by changing the length of the different equalizer bars. In making the hitch, especially the rear levers, it is important that the holes of the equalizer bar be in a straight line. If they are badly out of line, as is possible when heavy sticks are used as equalizer bars, a horse may step slightly ahead and therefore lock this bar so that he will have practically nohting to pull.

Equalized hitches have great flexibility and, provided the team is properly bucked back and tied in, distribute the load equally to the shoulders of all the horses, thus making perfect team work, no matter how large the team may be. With such hitches, lazy horses cannot shirk their work nor can the over -energetic ones do more than their share. This team work is especially neces- sary when a team starts its load. Per- fectly constructed equalized hitches throw the load in a spring -like man- ner on the shoulders of all, even if a certain horse does not start the min- ute that the leaders start. It would be impossible to drive combine har- vester teams of 24 to 36 head with two lines were it not for the equal- ized hitch. Experienced drivers also state as soon as teams become accus- tomed to working in an equalized hitch but little disturbance occurs in the team. The Schandoney Hitch The original horizontal lever type of equalized hitch, which is the type recommended for bunch teams, is called the Schandoney equalized hitch, named after its inventor, Peter Schandoney of California, who re- ceived a patent for his device in 1892. He was a farm boy who, in driving a ten -mule string plow team in the Sacramento valley, observed been the important hitch both for string and bunch teams. Its details are shown in Figure 42 and it is sometimes called the single draft chain hitch, there being only one draft chain in the hitch. Its advan- 1 10 or 2 x 12 material.

Talkington Equalized Hitch The Talkington hitch was invent- ed by a farmer of that name near Harrington, Washington, who came from a family that has obtained con- siderable notice because of ability in large team work. The hitch is very FIGURE 43—The Talkington Equal- ized hitch. popular in the Big Bend section of Washington. The advantages that are claimed for it are flexibility, sim- plicity and lightness. By changing the length of equalizer bah, it can be used either as a string or bunch team hitch. It is manufactured by the Diamond Carriage company of Spokane. Washington, and can be purchased through implement deal- ers. The hitch is illustrated in Fig- ure 43. IMES TANNED Puy Robes. Coats, and all kInde of Leather.

A heart -shaped ring should be made from five -eighths round iron rods and should follow the diagram as to shape and dimensions in the center. This distance between the eveners, adjusted by the links of a log chain, should be no more than just enough to permit the horses to walk without stepping on the evener In front of them. It will be found that they can touch their noses to the tails of horses ahead and still not in- terfere with the eveners. \At the turns the eveners and the chains drag on the ground, but the horses soon learn to avoid the even- ers, draw -chains and single -trees, or they may be held up as shown in Figure 45. However, the records of farms where these hitches have had long usage show that this is not a source of accident or injury to ani- mals.\ These specifications are those which were used on the Noble farm at Nobleford, Alberta. This Horse Association hitch is sometimes spok- en of -as the double chain hitch be- cause the 12 -horse hitch consists of two six -horse string teams side by side. By changing the length of the equalizer bars a string team equaliz- er of any length may be made.

Pullet at Hamilton Puts Coat of Armor on Extra Large Egg An egg with a new idea is not often found, but a Hamilton poul- tryman, E. W. Hood, reports an egg with a coat of armor that is rare indeed. An exceptionally large egg that measured six inches in circumference and seven and sev- en -eights inches in length was found one evening and when the shell was broken, a second shell found within. Between the outer and inner shells, the white of an egg Was found, while the inner shell contained a perfect egg.
