In order to effect the filling of the bucket, the handle (i), which is of iron, is attached by iron swivel rivets, on which it readily turns, below the centre of gravity of the bucket (c). In order that it may emirty itself, a horizontal handle (rf) is attached, which, when the filled bucket attains a certain height, is caught by a hook (t) fixed in the trough which conveys away the water raised (/J. The horse or ass may be made to work in this machine without the attendance of a man, by the following training: â Attach a bell to the lever of draught (h); use eye-blinders to prevent the animal from seeing whether or not any one is in attendance, and from becoming giddy by going constantly round. Put the animal in motion, and the bell will not stop ringing till he stops. The moment he stops, and the bell ceases to ring, apply the whip severely. Continue to do this every time the animal stops, till the two hours' labour are completed ; then unyoke and feed. After one or two hours, or whatever period may be deemed necessary for rest and refreshment, yoke again, and proceed as before Go on in this way for two days, and the terror of receiving chastisement when the bell ceases to ring, will have frightened the animal into a habit of working two hours at a time without attendance.
