. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. VOLUME LVIII. No. 22. SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1911. Subscription—? Per Year. Q£8X(Cim<Xf£G&0&GG®<X^^. A LABOR-SAVING, COOLING-OUT DEVICE. On many of the large stock farms throughout Pennsylvania this contrivance is in use. It is simply constructed and saves a good deal of labor. One horse furnishes the power and the rest of the horses, fastened with their halters to the chain and rings, get their walking exercise this way. It is made of heavy gas pipe which is curved like the rim of a wheel and held in place on strong posts set about eight feet apart. In the center of the circle or hub is a heavy iron post set in cement, from which iron rods extend like spokes of a wheel, to each of the rim supporting posts. This also keeps in place the twelve inch board as shown in the picture. There is an endless chain which runs over wheels kept in place near the rim by a slight projection at each post. On this chain are stout rings to which the horses' halter shanks are fastened. An iron singletree extends from this chain, to which a gentle horse is hitched. He is trained to stop and go at the word of command; so very little time is lost in hitching and unhitching horses in their respective places to the chain. In the hurry of handling a number of horses that are being worked out on the track this labor-saving device has demonstrated its worth wherever used. o&&2&m&&aa&e&x%i^^.
