Of the trailer which Is sometimes seen.
In order to keep the wagons on the
track second pair Of rails Is laid in
side the working tracks and slightly
higher.
The towns at either end Of the line
are both market towns, and the line
runs directly to the business center.
where the wagons are drawn aside and
run into their places by a half-dozen
sturdy men, who are paid few pence
each by the countrymen for this serv-
Ice. 1t Is, therefore. possible for a
farmer TO bring his produce to market
and dispose Of 1t without the aid of his
horses. 1t is not an uncommon sight.
and always rather amusing one, to
see numbering farm wagon loaded
with hay or produce flying along be-
hind the motor car on its way to mar
ket. The farmers take kindly to this
scheme, as it is a saving OF money as
well as horsehesh.
