made eight inches shorter than the hind
one. Find bolster nine inches wide.
front one ten inches. The break is fas-
tened TO the gear. The standards are
made Of iron, projecting above bolster
six inches. and extending down through
same and taking a nut. The width Of
body is 81 inches, almost a foot wider
than ordinary beds. The front wheels
turn under the wagon bed, and by this
means YOU can turn round i'm a very
small space. as is often necessary 10 do
on the farm. The doubletree extends
out on either side even with the front
wheel thus throwing your horses far
apart and on the road they follow the
wagon track.
In addition to the regular wagon body
we take two scantling. rs feet long. two
inches thick and six inches wide. and on
this we bolt on cross pieces (a), two at
each end, one on top and another on
bottom Of rail. and then bolt one piece
in middle OBJ on the under side of rail.
This makes good support for the floor,
and thus we have a good rack for haul
ing all kinds Of grain, grass or straw.
Outside this frame, between the rails
and hind wheels. we nail a board (c)
about three feet long and IS inches wide, /
to keep the hay or grain off Of the wheel. |

ELECTRIC FARM ROADS.
When the Population II Dense Their
Construction Could Not Fail
to Prove Profitable.

The good roads problem is assuming
new and interesting phase. The sue
cess of rural electric railways has led
some of our progressive farmers TO
consider the practicability of a CO.
operative system of electric lines on
country roads for use in hauling both
passenger and freight traffic. just at
this time, when steel and all the other
materials entering into railway con-
siructlon are so high. it may not be adj
FisaDie to enter extensively into a work
involving such heavy expenditure, but
in many sections of our great agricul-
tural states, where for long distances
roadways are lined with producing
farms which stretch back perhaps for
miles, and where the quantity of prod
ncts involves a vast amount of expen-
sive transportation, made uncertain
through the influence of weather con-
ditions upon the roads-under such cir
cumsiances there is no doubt but the
plan would prove entirely feasible.
while the effect upon the social life of
the farm would be UNNECESSARILY adj
vantageous.
The proposition involves the con-
struciion of trcck at one side of the
roadway with switches and side tracks
and a main trolley system. This main
system to be used by individual farm
ers az will. employing each his own cars
as he now employs his wagons and bug
eies- Running from the main line TO
each farm would be a side track which /
may be extended to barns. cribs and /
bins TO suit the wishes of the individ-
ual farmer. lie could load his product
when he chose, selecting those times
when markets were most promising of
returns, or take his family to church or
institute, social gatherings or shop

thing to interfere, perhaps, being heavy
