THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
fl Three-Horse Evener. 
F. N„ (No Address ).—With an equalizer 
constructed as represented in the illustration, 
do you think the leverage given by one foot 
from free end of bar A, which is three feet 
long and attached to one end of the long 
evener which is six feet long, places the single 
horse on an equal draft with the others? 
Ans. —Such an arrangement as your 
correspondent refers to, as represented in 
the illustration, would not divide the load 
equally between the three horses. This 
will be clear from a little reflection and 
reasoning: suppose the load to be drawn 
were 3,000 pounds and that it is the pur¬ 
pose of the equalizer to divide this so that 
each horse shall carry one-third, or 1,000 
pounds. For easy thinking and simple 
statement imagine in the first place the 
tongue to be standing vertical, and a load 
of 3,000 pounds hanging directly down 
from the point A on the short lever, the 
free end of which the horse draws from. 
Since A is not half way between the point 
where the whiffletree is attached and the 
pole, it is clear that to sustain the 3,000 
pounds the whiffletree must carry more 
than one-half, in reality 2,000 pounds, 
while the pole would carry 1,000. pounds, 
because A is one-third of the distance 
from the whiffletree to the pole. This ar¬ 
rangement is clearly not what was desired. 
It is desired that the single horse shall 
draw 1,000 pounds, while the double team 
on the other side shall draw 2,000 pounds. 
The arrangement must then be made such 
that the pull at A, on the three-foot bar, 
which is shared between the pole and the 
single horse and which is transferred to 
the end of the six-foot evener, must be 
exactly equal in amount to what the dou¬ 
ble team is to draw, namely, 2,000 pounds. 
But in order that this pull may be 2,000 
pounds, while the single horse exerts a 
pull of but 1,000 pounds, the point A must 
be moved to the center. If this is done 
the horse at the free end of this bar ex¬ 
erts a pull of 1,000 pounds, while the pole 
at the other end of the same bar re¬ 
sists this pull of 1,000 pounds, thus caus¬ 
ing a pull of 2,000 pounds to be trans¬ 
ferred to the end of the long evener, but 
as the two arms of this evener are of 
equal length the double team pulling at 
the other end will have to pull together 
2,000 pounds, or 1,000 pounds each, in or¬ 
der to balance the effect of the pull of the 
single horse through the instrumentality 
of its lever; thus we have the single horse 
pulling 1,000 pounds and the double team 
pulling 2,000 pounds, making in all 3,000 
pounds, which is the amount assumed for 
the load. It is, of course, possible to 
bring the single horse closer to the pole 
by making the arms of the long evener 
of unequal length; thus, if the lever from 
which the single horse draws is made two 
feet in length and the draw-bar at A is 
attached six inches from the pole, the 
short end of the long evener could be 
made 18 inches long while the long end re¬ 
mains 36 inches. These proportions would 
divide the draft equally between'the three 
horses. So, other dimensions could be 
chosen provided the same relative lengths 
are maintained throughout. F. H. KING. 
Value of Distillers’ Grains. 
N. J., Cuba. Mo .—I send you a sample of 
distillers’ dried grains. Would it be advis¬ 
able to mix and feed with bran and ship 
stuff? The cost here would be about the 
same. Which would be the better feed for 
cows, bran and ship stuff or distillers’ dried 
grains? 
Ans. —There are two kinds of distil¬ 
lers’ grains on the market; one known 
as corn distillers’ and another as rye dis¬ 
tillers’ grains. The corn distillers’ grains 
(which I judge the sample is from) are 
excellent feed. I have fed them for sev¬ 
eral years with the very best results. I 
doubt if there is much difference in the 
different brands, provided they carry an 
equal amount of protein. They contain 
about 25 per cent of digestible protein. 
This would give you 500 pounds in a 
ton. Wheat bran contains about 12 per 
cent, and usually a little less, which 
would be 230 to 250 pounds in a ton, 
about one-half as much digestible pro¬ 
tein as the distillers’ grains. I would 
not consider them worth twice as much 
as the bran, because the large ash 
content which bran contains is very im¬ 
portant. The carbonaceous matter is not 
so materially different in the two. Dis¬ 
tillers’ grains are practically deficient in 
ash, and unless clover hay or Alfalfa 
formed a part of the coarse feed, it 
might be necessary to feed some wheat 
bran to get the ash ; otherwise I would 
not feed wheat bran. I should expect 
with a well-balanced coarse feed you 
would need a little corn with the distil¬ 
lers’ grains, rather than bran or middl¬ 
ings. It is simply a question of getting 
digestible matter, the greatest amount of 
it, for a dollar; either one of the feeds 
mentioned will give health so far as the 
feed itself is concerned. h. e. c.

SORES BIG AS A PENNY 
Covered Mead and Neck—Hair All 
Came Out—Suffered 6 Months— 
Used Cuticura Costing $1.50. 
Cured In Three Weeks. 
“After having the measles my whole 
head and neck were covered with scaly 
sores about as large as a penny. They 
were just as thick as they could be. My 
hair all came out. I let the trouble run 
a.ong, taking the doctor’s blood remedies 
and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem 
to get any better. It stayed that way for 
about six months; then I got a set of the 
Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week 
I noticed a big difference, and in three 
weeks it was well entirely and I have not 
had the trouble any more, and as this was 
seven years ago, I consider myself cured. 
I used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, 
one box of Cuticura Ointment, and two 
cakes of Cuticura Soap. Mrs. Henry Por¬

YOUR COWS 
with the 
James Rotary 
Adjustable 
Stanchions and 
Sanitary Cow Stalls 
Don’t let your long cows stand with their 
feet in the gutter and your short cows stand 
away from it. Don’t let your cattle be unsani¬ 
tary. Don’t let them be uncomfortable. 
Don’t let them run any risk of injury while lying down. Don’t lose any more money that way, 
and don’t work so hard yourself taking care of them. 
Tho James Stanchion and Cow Stall will remedy all this. It consists of three parts: The Adjustable 
Rotary Stanchion, the Self-cleaning Manger, and the Gasplpe Stall Partition. 
The James Stanchion can be adjusted to length of any cow. Lines cows of different sizes over the gut¬ 
ter. Gives them more comfort, allowing them to turn around and lick themselves which they cannot 
do In a common stanchion. The James Self-cleaning Manger is the only one of Its kind made. It Is 
easily yalsed to be cleaned or when not In use. Cows don’t nave to reach for their feed. Never slip or 
Injure themselves, or push back bedding Into gutter. Also has a watering device that strongly appeals 
to dairymen. The Casplpe Stall Partition Is the simplest, strongest, and most sanitary ever constructed. 
It Is used as a brace for the stanchion, and does away with all overhead bracing from celling. Keeps 
the cows cleaner, yet allows them more freedom than any other stall. Write for Illustrated catalog.

T HE Drew Elevated Carrier is one of 
the greatest actual money savers 
ever invented for the farm. It saves 
the pay of a farm hand the year round be¬ 
cause it dees one man’s work. It is the 
easiest, quickest and most economical 
method of conveying manure and litter from 
the stable, or carrying silage or any other 
articles that have to be moved from place 
to place. The Drew Carrier runs a lot of 
your errands. It carries all kinds of loads. 
It cuts out hard and disagreeable jobs. 
It lightens barn work wonderfully. If you 
are a dairyman, a stock raiser or a general 
farmer you need a

It is not only a money saver but a money maker. With a Drew 
Carrier you will have a clean stable, and a clean stable means healthier 
stock. With a Drew Carrier you can send all the manure to the pile, saving 
the rich liquid part which is always lost in pitching or wheeling. 
The Drew not only goes out but comes back automatically. Run the 
Carrier into the stable, put the manure or litter into it, give it a shove and 
the carrier will dump the load wherever you want it dumped—in a wagon 
or over the fence—and return to you ready to be filled again. 
You can put the Drew Carrier to a score of uses. It is elevated- 
out of the way—works smoothly, and can not be jolted off the track.
