INCREASE PULLING POWER OF IRE HORSE
iy Ira Osborn Baker, C. E. Professor
of Civil Engineering, University
of Illinoise.
The horizontal pull which a horse
can exert depends upon its weight, its
form or build, the method of hitch
ing, the foot hold afforded by the sur
face, the speed, the length of duration
of the effort, the rest-time between
efforts, and the tax upon the future
efficiency of the horse. The chief of
these are the weight, the speed,- and
the length of the effort.
Horses vary in weight from 800
to 1,800 pounds. The larger horses
do not usually travel more than two
and a half or three miles per hour.
With reasonably good footing a horsb
-an exert a pull equal to one tenth
f his weight at a speed of two and
half miles per hour (3 2-3 feet per
second) for ten hours per day for six
iays per week and keep in condition.
Phis Is a common rate of exertion by
farm horses In pulling plows, mowers
and other agricultural implements.
In this basis a 1650 pound horse
would develop 550 foot-pounds per
second the conventional horse-power)
and 16,500,000 foot-pounds per day.
lighter horse will exert a propor
ionally less force. This may be con
sidered about the limit of endurance.
Tf the time of the effort is decreased,
'.he draft must be proportionally In
creased! or it the Bpeed Is increased,
he draft must be decreased in a like
iroportion. In other words, the foot

is practically constant.
. The maximum draft for a horse is
about of his weight, although horses
have been known to exert a pull of
two thirds of their weight. Most
horses can exert a tractive power'
equal to halt their weight, at a slow-
walk for about 100 feet. On the
road in emergencies, as in starting
the load or in overcoming obstacles,
a horse msy be expected to exert a
pull equa tc half his weight, but at
this rate he develops a day's energy
in about two hours; and consequent
ly if he Is expected to work all day
)Ve should not be called upon to exert
his maximum power except for a
short time. Similarly, a horse caii
exert a draft i-qual to one quart ir of
his wcUht for a longer time. The
working tractive power of a horse
may be taken as one tenth of its
weight, with an ordinary maximum
of one quarter, and in great emergen
cies a maximum of one half of its
weight.
Effect of Grade.
The effective tractive power of a
horse upon an Inclined road surface
is decreased by the fact that the horse
must lift his own weight up the(
grade. Tne following laoie snows
the load a horse can draw upon diff
erent road surfaces when exerting a
uniform pull equal to one tenth of
Its weight. The load is In terms of
the weight of the horse.
Compare these facts with the road
conditions in Morrow County and you
can easily determine whether or not
the proposed road Improvements will
increase the hauling capacity of our
rural districts.

Liberty Bonds Not Accepted.
Internal Revenue Collector Miller
says: "Correspondence reaching
this office indicates that persons have
been erroneously advised that Liberty
Loan Bonds will be accepted in pay

"Liberty Loan Bonds cannot be ac

accept these bonds for taxes would
defeat the revenue ends."

ordering all the extras you will need
this season and have all machinery

Dried pressed potato is "very effi
cient in producing rapid gains and a
high finish when fed to swine," Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
investigators have found in a search
for a suitable way to dispose ot cull
or surplus potatoes.
To give the best results, however,
dried pressed potatoes must be fed in
combination with feeds rich in pro
tein, such as oil meal, fish meal, and
tankage.
The Investigators also advise mix
ing or soaking such feed with water
for 15 minutes before its ue.
An experiment, in which were used
12 shigh grade pigs beween five and
six months of age, was conducted to
determine, first, the value ot dried
pressed potato in a ration for fatten
ing hogs and supplemented by feeds
rich in protein, and, second, the effect
of dried pressed potato on the quality
of meat-produced.
The pigs were divided Into four
lots of three each. The first lot, for
checking purposes, was fed a ration
of six quarts corn meal and one part
tankage. The other three lots were
fed rations of six parts dried pressed
potato, the second lot suplemented by
one part tankage, the third lot by one
part linseed-oil meal (old process),
and the .fourth by one part of fish
meal. The pigs In all the lots ate
well and regularly, and the investiga
tors drew the conclusion that the
dried pressed potato rations were pal
atable and produced pork readily.
In carcass tests after the fattening
experiment the investigators found
"on the whole it is impossible to say
that dried pressed potato meal does
not produce a fat equal for all pur
poses to that produced by corn meal.
While we were able to note some lit-,
tie difference in hardness In favor of
the lot fed on corn meal, that differ
ence was so small as not to be noticed
under average packing-house condi
tions. Dried pressed potato meal
does not produce soft pork."
Regarding the quality of the meat
in the case of baeon strips, little dif
ference can be detected. Here it is
indicated that the corn-fed hog is
much the fattest.
In the rendered lard, the investi
gators found no noticeable variation
in taste, odor, color, or consistency.
The carcass data are thus summar
ized : '
"Dried, pressed potato meal fed
with any of the three supplements
used In the experimental feeding pro
duced pork equal In quality to that
produced by a ration of corn meal
and tankage.
"Dried, pressed potato meal sup
plemented with old-process Hnseed
oll meal produced a carcass which for
Ama nt finish excelled even that of
the corn-meal hog, and the degree of
finish on the other two lots was, but
little Inferior to that of the check
hogs.
"No difference could be noticed In
any way in the curing qualities or in
' the excellence of the finished product
'cut from the hams, shoulders, and
'bacon sides of the hogs fed in the
four different lots."

Tuesday February 12th Is Last Day
For War Rink Insurance.
Tuesday, February 12th Is the last
day upon which war risk insurance
may be taken out by men who have
entered the service ot the United Sta
tes Army and Navy.
Due to the fact that thousands of
men in the service have overlooked
or neglected to take out the insur
ance, the government Is urging that
every means be taken to bring the
matter to the attention of the men
before the time limit expires. To
that end, the American Red Cross
has taken up the work and will strive
to get applications into the hands ot
tke enlisted man's commanding offi
cer by the 12th of February.
