Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Fig. 106 Fig. 107 Sheepshank completed the right wrist, as indicated by the arrow in Fig. 105 and as shown in the finished sheepshank in Fig. 106. If it is desired to shorten the rope permanently, the ends may be passed through the first and the second bights, as shown in Fig. 107. Rope tackle.— There are times when a tem- porary substitute for a tackle block would be found most useful, as, for example, in drawing down a rope over a load of hay to hold it with- out a pole. The rope tackle shown in Fig. no forms such a temporary substitute. AI ake a bight in the rope and throw a half hitch over it, as described for the sheepshank and as shown in Figs. 108 and 109. Through the hanging loop thus formed pass the lower end of the rope, as indicated by the arrow in Fig. 109. This gives the finished tackle as shown in Fig. no. If, now, in the example cited above, the rope A (Fig. 11 o) comes from over the load of hay and the bight C is caught over the end of the reach or some other convenient part of the wagon, by pulling on rope D we can cause the rope to pull on loop B, which will act as a tackle block and will greatly increase the pull on A. Both sides of the loop C must pull on the tackle above, other- wise the half hitch will pull out. The rope slides and chafes badly at B and somewhat at C, so this tackle should not be made up frequently in the same place in the rope. It is intended for emergency use only. KNOTS FOR JOINING ENDS Grain hinder knot.— This is the simplest way of joining two ropes, and Fig. 108 the one used on the auto- matic binding attachments of all grain-harvesting machines. It is made by sim]jly laying the ends side by side and tying an overhand knot in them (Fig. iii). The. Fig. 109 Rope tackle Pig i
