276 Our Farming. 



hold the wagon, but sometimes I want to back up to a place to 

 unload, and as I arrange it the middle horse has to back against 

 the other two. I use two 3-foot neck yokes, giving the middle 

 horse an end of each. Have always been able to back my load in 

 any reasonable place. One often sees four horses hitched to a big 

 load, two ahead of the others. I have tried this side by side with 

 my plan, and three horses abreast with this direct draft will draw as 

 much as the four with one team ahead, and, of course, they handle 

 better.
