To Use Three Horses Abreast

As it is becoming quite common to use three horses now nstead of two, perhaps it would be of advantngo and a saving to somo of our young farmera to tell them bow to hitch up tbree horses, with an equalizer that, instead of costing fivo dollars for a patent article, can be made for a few cents. I take a piece of two bj four, or two by five, scantling aod boro first a bole near each end, as I would for a doublo tree ; but the pieces necd not be over nioe to twelve inches loDg ; tben bore a hole one-third of tho lcngth from ono end, and. twotbirds of toe length from tlie otber end, and attach tbe piece by a olevis and ring to the plow clevis, the longest end up ; then hitch my middlo horee to the top, and tbo team to the bottom end, or short end of the equalizer, using a long doublo tree for tho team, long enougk for a horse to work in the mitldle. By using this simple devico a saviog can be made of fivo dollars, and the equalizer is, I claim, bettcr than any other, for the simple reason that it brings the team nearer the nose of the plow beam, and consequeutly nearer tho work. - Wettern Rural.
