The inception of the traction engine on
the common highways of the country, |
am aware, must be gradual, at least until
IL confidence in them has been established.
Like all established habits, especially one
which antedatcs all known history of its
use like the drag system by some kind
of an animal, that confidence can be
greatly facilitated by the introduction of
it tthe traction mOtor).
The writer has had the experience in
this employment of work with an eight
horse power machine in Plymouth and
Bristol counties in Massachusetts. The
power of This machine was generated on
the machine by steam, and nutwithstand-
ing the roads were sandy and heavy, some
POO miles We're travelled in going from
farm to farm, blowing, threshing grain
and saving wood, etc, and this without
accident.
Like all innovations on established Gus
toms, care is necessary, and soon the
pleasure derived from the novelty of their
use would overcome all distractions, their
multiplicity would gradually retire the
horse, and the new system would be es-
tablished for all purposes This caution
is put forth in case steam is generated for
the propelling power, but when electric
power is used, no such precaution is re-
Quired, as the objection to the former is
0ftcncr made through the fear of the one
in charge of the animal than from any
real fright by said animal. Ivy. q. c. -

he realizes how completely every one has
