AUTOMOBILES FOR POWER.
Pleasure Cars May Be Utilized For
Farm Work

Automobiles are coming into use on
the farm as means OF pleasure for the
farmer and his family. There Is nG,h.

when started will do the heavy work
Of running the separator.
The accompanying sketch shows this
device so plainly that 1t Is not neces

attention to the two rollers. one Of
which has It's shaft extended outside
the box to carry n pulley. from which
the belt runs to an overhead shaft. Ii
Is easily apparent that the revolution
of the wheels of the car will cause

II Is One of the Chisf Evils Of High
ways Of Esrth-Good Road Work OF
an Illinois lnstitution-Bad Drainage
Expensive.
In the movement for good roads to
have practical results 1t Is well to rec
ognize the fact that over large sections
Of the country rock or gravel roads
are. for local and economic reasons.
unuttainable and even unnecessary.
Dirt roads will prevail In the more
strictly rural districts for many years
TO come. possibly until aeroplanes and
dirigihle balloons take the place or
the good old farm wagon.
Therefore 1t will be we'll to look
around and try to learn from the ex-
perience of others how such roads
have been made IN other countries suf-
ficient for all the needs Of rural life,
what has been found to be the chief
enemy TO overcome and how the con-
quest has been effected.
The one great enemy Of dirt roads
is stagnant water. which. after heavy
rains. and especially in clay soils, Is
unable to get away. Realizing the sol
vent properties OF water. 1t Is easy to
understand how destructive its con-
tinued presence Is to the solidity OF
dirt road and therefore how necessary
Is its removal.
1t Is not only the surface water OF
heavy rains or melting snow that has
to be got rid of. The action Of what
science knows as "capillariry." the
constant rising of water from great
depths toward the surface, has also to
be contended with. That this natural
process Is always going on is we'll I'M
derstood. though Its causes and meth
DDS of action still form matter for de-
bate. To catch and control this water
coming thus and to establish what Is
known as q water plane some three or
four feet below the surface OF the
ground, where it can do the most
good to vegetation, and, as a sort OF
side issue, the least harm to the roads.
has been sought for and found in the
modern scientific system Of land drain
age.
Some time ago the use OF brush filed
drains was very effective In section
Of Illinois where the soil Is much OF
the nature of the Kansas gumbo. An
institution which owned a farm Of 400

tires is rendered uniform. The grip on
the rolls that these tires exercise Is
surprising.
A popularity Of this arrangement Is
that the car shows a tendency to skid
from side to SIDE This, however. Is
easily overcome by means of props or
bumpers. which ere put in place so as
to limit the sidewise motion Of the car
within the shed. the mere pressure Of
the hand serving to move the car east
ly when the wheels are revolving on
the rolls.
In very warm weather or on long.
heavy pulls it is sometimes necessary
to connect the circulating system with
the water supply In order to prevent
heating of the cylinders.
For saving wood. cutting feed or
any work Of an intermittent nature 1t
Is necessary for some one TO control
the engine on account Of there being
no governor. As q matter of fact
emo farmer has small boy at the
throttle most of the time. as the sep.
arator is sometimes thrown off with
