PLANS DEVELOPING
FOR GOOD HORSE
SHOWJEPT. 30TH
Pulling Contest on the Dyna
mometer is Feature of
the Day
Much interest is being shown in,
the approaching horse sbow to bq
held September 30th by Clare Countji
horse breeders. Classes of foals and
older colts are being groomed for exhibit. ■ Sires and mares of good
Percheron and Belgian type are also
to be a feature of the show. It is expected that a feAV horses from tho;
State College stable will also be
brought out as demonstration of the
type that is desired. The College,
horses have become recognized as
one of the best stables of- draft
horses in America, being consistent
winners in the large shows thruout
the Middle West.
A feature of special interest to
local horsemen will be the pulling
contest on the dynamometer furnished by the State College. Horse pulling contests have become the most
popular event involving horseflesh.
In the dynamometer _ contests no
room is left for argument as to tile;
pulling ability of a team. Their ae-i
tual tractive power is measured accurately.
For the benefit of those who plan
to train teams for the contest a few
of the rules given here may be of
assistance. The distance which the,
load must be pulled is 27 1-2 feeti
This must be accompanied in one,
pull. Three trials will be allowed
each team at each weight. The
driver cannot strike his team with
any object during the pull, nor is he
allowed to yell or use abusive
language during the pull. In case:
the last teams to be eliminated can-j
not pull, the weight the 27 1-2 feet,
the team pulling the greatest dis?
tance will be declared Ihe winnen
and the remaining teams will be;
ranked in the order of the distance;
pulled.    •
Multiple hitches of 4, 5, and 6
horse teams in a plowing demoustra-f
tion will not be the least feature ofi
Horse Day. This feature will attract
the attention of hiany farmers now
working several horses in two and!
three horse teams. In the Horse
Association of America hitches one
man can hitch and drive from foiuj
to eight or more hor_es as easily as)
he can handle two or three. These
hitches are' becoming very popular
thruout the Middle Wlest. County
Agent C. I_. Bluclt, of Clinton County,
Ohio, reports that 153 farmers in tlie
county are using multiple hitches.
