A New York World correspondent rites: 1 ilways dislike to see a team averloaded so as to cause balking in bad places, and think it just as bad to mako one horse do the work where two should be used, or two compelled to draw the plow in ground where the strength of three is not too much. A team of three abreast can be managed as easily as two, and the satisfaction of following a team that steps off freely, as if they were not avertaxed. is worthy of taking into acïount, even if one has no feeling for the horses. By attachiug a doubie-tree fot two and a single-tree for o.-.e horse to a long evener the draught is easiiy adjustsd so that no ons has more to pull than mother. With suoh a team, without ray fretting or urging, a man can do a third more work in a day in plowing land hard to break up than he can with two horses that have all they can do to pull the plow along. Besides this th6 work will be done better and the team not ovenvorked.
