usefulness in a wide range Of new du-
tics. From the single task of hauling
thrashing outfits its work has expand.
ed until now we find the tractable
tractor lending the greatest assistance
to the tiller of the soil in clearing his
land and in blowing and narrowing as
we'll as In harvest operations. More
over, the traction engine has proved q
godsend On the great wheat farms Of
the west where the grain simply could
not be handled by the old fashioned
methods, principally because Of the inn
possibility of securing sufficient har-
vest hands.
The new responsibilities which have
been put upon the tractors have nat
urally resulted in great improvement
of the traction engines themselves. The
new traction engines are not radical
ly different from the old fashioned style
with which our readers have been IA
miliar for years save that they are lar
ger and obviously more powerful. The
up to date traction engines are found
in several different designs. embodying
the ideas of different inventors.
Operating the Traction.
The traction engine. it should be ex-
planned, is Of the three wheel type. The
front wheel is hung in circle, guided
by friction rollers and is operated by
power. 1t is very easily handled. and
the main wheels are placed so far for
ward that in working hard there Is
practically no weight on the front
wheel. In such case the steering Is
done almost entirely with the frlctions.
The value of the tractor in harvest
ing has long been recognized, but farm
ers who cultivate large tracts are only
just now coming to realize the useful
ness of these powerful aids In blowing,
seeding and kindred operations. How
ever, most convincing evidence of the
possibilities of the field Is afforded by
the sight Of wide wheeled farm en-
CINE drawing five gangs of six ten-inch
plows with soeder attachment and har-
rows behind. and blowing. seeding and
narrowing Il strip twenty-five feet wide.
Such an outfit finishes from fifty to
eighty acres per day.-Farm and Fire

CARE OF 4 GOOD L DAD
VALUE OF "AONlNG" ITS SURFACE
AFTER A RAIN.

How the Mount Hope Road, Near
Middletown, n. y. Was Iriproved
by This Method-ImpOrtnnce of Gut
ters and Grading.
The work of the Maple Dale Good
Roads club of farmers has attracted
quite a good deal of attention in 10
cal way in Orange county, y. y, ana
is of general interest writes .. W.
Mapcs. president of the Maple Dale
Good Roads club, in the Good Roads
Magazine.
Just west of the thriving city OF
Middletown is a section of farming
country which Is tapped by the Mount
Hope road. This IS Il part of what was
formerly the old stagccoach route lead
ing from Newburg, on the Hudson riv-
er. to Milford, Pa, on the Delaware
river.
The following article by the writer
published In the Rural New Yorker III
1904 shows pretty well the methods EN-
ploycd in improving the road:
''The first step Is to. stake out the
work by making light furrow on each
side of the proposed work twelve or
fourteen feet apart. If any part of
these first burrows comes within the
beaten track where it Is hard 1t should
be done Just after soaking rain, either
with plow or the point of road ma
chine. Next put the wheel of the road
machine in this light furrow, hold the
point of the blade firmly down in place,
remove every stone which the point
strikes and work down and out until
enough dirt is secured to bring good
crown to the center of the road and Il
good gutter on each side, making suita-
bic outlets from all low points in these
cutters.
This is only n question of applying
sufficient team power and removing al
stones TINT Interfere with making =
good gutter. On portions of our roaC

more than 10 cents per cubic yard.
This makes the cost only $500 per
mile were Il full load of gravel placed
on tie crown of the road all the way.
How about tie after care of such a
road! Here is the secret Of success.
When the first rain comes passing
teams and vehicles will puddle the ma
tcrial along the crown Of the road in
TIE beaten track forming hard crust
as it dries. which will be somewhat
rough and uneven. Before it becomes
too dry and hard hone the surface
perfectly smooth and true with light
hone about five or six feet long. One
man and team can hone off Il bunch of
road in this way if he understands his
business at slight cost He should
stand on the hone and guide it by
stepping from one end of the hone to
the other as the occasion requires. This
is very inexpensive and should be re
peatcd after every big rain. though ii
will never soften much after the first
pudding. Now rake off any loose
stone, and you have beaten track on
bicycle or an auto will roll as smoothly
as on the best macadam road and on
which you can drive clean buggy an
hour after a summer shower without
having to avoid mud holes. The only
other care needed on such Il road will
he to sprinkle Il very little good gravel
shalc or even hardpan right in the cen
ter of the beaten track occasionally
according II the amount of wear on
the road. and keep the cutters from
filling. throwing the stuff secured out
of them away from the road instead of
back into it.
What are the scientific principles in
volvcd: The beaten track on the
crown of the road is a hard crust al
most imperviouS to water. while the
soil beneath this crust and at the side
near the lower cutters is porous and
open. | cannot illustrate better than
by referring to Il turtles back. Using

away quickly through the more porous
soil beneath and into the cutters at the
side. Just as rain would run from the

built after this pattern and at this
cost has stood the test of a years serv-

of the branches CUTTING BACK YOUNG
may be cut lHEhS'
away bodily, as shown by the several
short bars; the treatment may be Il
combination of these two.
One thing is clear, the tree now has
too many branches for its size, and
some of them (say half of the second
airy ones) should be cut away. Whcth
er any further heading In shall be done
Is q local question. If the tree is max
ing a growth of three feet or more
heading in would probably be advisa-
BILE. This heading in tends to make the
branches thick and stocky, thereby en-
ablng them to support the forthcoming
crops of fruit. AS the tree approaches
maturity heading in may be less fire.
uuent and less severe and 1t may
eventually cease.
To every one who contemplates the
cutting back of trees it should be said
that heading in necessitates more
pruning in the interior of the top.
This Is particularly true Of early
summer pruning. which often causes
new lateral growths to become so nu
merous as to be very troublesome. as
for example, in summer pruning of
grapes.
The writer, then, believes in heading
in vigorous young fruit trees of very
strong growing varieties for the pur-
pose of inducing stockier growth of
the branches and of promoting the
early branching of the main or scaffold
limbs. AS the tree increases In age the
heading in should be less and less and
should generally cease when full bear
Ing arrives. If the mature tree grows
too rapidly the fundamental corrective
is to withhold tillage or manure.

HEADING IN TREES.
How to Cut Back n Young Tree-Sum
mer Pruning.

How to Cut Back n Young Tree-sum-
mer Pruning.
In fruit trees annual growths of three
feet or more may be headed in, partlcu-
larly if the trees are close together
and it is necessary to reduce the size
of head This operation is necessary
only with young and unfruitful trees,
as II rule.
In general, the matter of heading In
resolves itself into Il question of per
sonal ideals. If the owner wants Il
thick topped and round headed tree,
heading I'm is necessary. If he wants
free growing, open ccntcrcd tree,
heading in should be avoided except,
perhaps, while the tree is very young.
The foregoing general view of head
Ing in is presented by Bailey in his
"Pruning Book" where he gives the
