For this reason the collars!should be made to fit as perfectly as possible,!and the animals examined every night forsores on the necks or withers. i When loading wheelers with a snatch teamlthe chain should be hooked to a point as near*as possible to the scraper itself, otherwise theipull of the snatch team will throw a heavy load]on the backs of the wheeler team. t An excellent device observed in the«suburbs|of Cleveland, O., is shown in Fig. 4. By thismeans the pole has a very considerable lateralplay, very much to the relief of the wheel teamwhen strain comes upon the snatch. Figure 5 illustrates a typical arrangement ofteams, removing earth in street grading. Figure 6
