STEEL IN FARM IMPLEMENTS.
LITTLE Yet in the Wagon, But 1t May
Como There So1.ao DaE.


The substitution of steel for wood ir
agricultural Implements, which has
taken place of late years, IS not yet
finished. 1t is still going on. Bat tine
transition was chiefly effected between
1880 and 1890. As yet the farm wagon
is almost untouched by this great
movement. Steel aXles and pressed
steel gears have been On the market
for several years, but nineteen farmers
out of twenty still prefer oak and hick-
ory in wagon for general use. Metal
wagon wheels with broad tires are,
however, meeting with an extensive
demand for use in hauling over soft
fields and around the farm, and they
may be the forerunner Of the oil steel
wagon.
Theoretically, wood will last life
time, and yet It has been abandoned
for cultivator beams, harrow frames,
most Of the wheels and lot of other
parts of agricultural machines. But
there is q difference between the rail
fence, which has been known TO last
thirty on forty years without being
painted, and the wood which was once
put into harvester frame. The latter
was full Of bolt holes. which let water
reason why wood works SO well in
wagon is the fact that the latter has
SO few bolt holes.
L. r. Ardey, writing from Chicago
for The Iron Age, says:
"The harvester companies show
great diversity In the forms of bars
that they use The Mccormick COM
pany indicates preference for square
pipe, which can be fastened together
in compact frame by bolts. like the
members of a wooden frame. The
DeerfnS and Champion companies use
fiat bars, riveted together to form very
strong frames. Other companies use
z bars, angles and round pipe, each
company claiming their design to be
the best in the world The old wood

'hairpin' steel spokes that are held by
nuts, either in the rim or hub. Steel
guard or finger bars have replaced the
old wooden bars and sheet steel is
used for platform bottoms. Some COM
panies still make the deck or binding
table of wood, but others use sheet
steel Perhaps half of the wood now
used In the construction Of q binder
is in the pole.
"In modern riding plows cultivators
and corn planters no wood Is used eX
cepting for poles. The wheels are
generally of the Bettendorf type, in
which spokes of muck bar iron or mild
steel are upset into malleable hubs
and steel tires. These wheels are also
coming into general use in place OF
wood for corn shelters, hay presses
corn huskerS and other heavy ma
chimes. The oldtime horse power with
wooden wheels and frame is seldom
seen in the West, having been replaced
by modern traction engines, which are
now generally built in sizes that de-
ve1op twenty to thirty horse power.
Wood is still used principally in build.

DR.. Harry Pratt Judson, Dean of the
University of Chicago, in addressing
the seniors, said: "We have no ora
tors to-day; that is, no orators of the
first class. The reason for the decline
in oratory is the vast increase in read
ing. There are too many gabblers
without sound knowledge. We need
more thorough knowledge and clear
thinking, and oratory will take care
Of itself The newspaper and periodi-
cal press at the same time make much
oratory needless and multiply the
power of what is left.'

An effort is to be made to remove a
large red oak tree from the widest
section of Arkansas to Forest Park,
st. Louis, without injuring it. The
tree is 160 feet high and twelve feet
in diameter at the base. A double
tramway will be built from the tree
to the river, where 1t will be foated
and towed to st. Louis. 1t is esti-
mated that this will occupy six
months.

BIG LEAGUE TROUBLES
Reports Circulated That National
Has Started a Corrup-
ton Fund.

James A. Hart, president Of the Chi
oago baseball club. returned from the
New York meeting last week and said
all the fights within the National organ
ization had been settled. and also denied
the report that a corruption fund had
been started TO secure American league
players TO jump their contracts. Speak
ing about the meeting, Hart said:
Fractional fights are thing of the
past now. There could not have been a
more harmonious meeting held than the
ono we had at New York. II Temple had
consented to accept the office of presi-
dent there could have been nothing else
for me to wish for from the meeting,
The election Of a board Of directors that
viii act IN the place Of president this
year was the best thing that we could
do under the circumstances. as all the
available material at hand was canvassed
and no one that we wanted would take It.
II was too late to break ia an entirely
green man, so an executive board was
the only way out of &c for Us.
There is no truth TO the story that a
corruption fund was started al the meet
ing. The origin of IT was probably the
fact that all the league members agreed
among themselves 10 abolish the rule
requiring that any player who has
jumped to another league be held on the
