Show SINGLETREJE FOR AN ORCHARD Implement Like One Shown In lllus-traion lllus-traion Will Prevent Much Injury to Trees by Plowman. Many a good tree has been ruined by a careless plowman who allowed the end of the singletree to scrape off the bark. It is easy to avoid Injury of this kind by making a singletree like Orchard Singletree. that shown in the illustration. It is made of a board of hard wood about an inch .thick shaped In a curve, and on the outside is nailed a piece of strap or iron with holes in the end for hitching the tugs. An old leather harness har-ness tug will answer the purpose almost al-most as well as the iron, but of course will not last so long. A singletree of this kind should be made just wide enough so a horse can walk between the tugs comfortably without rubbing his legs against them. |
