APPROACH TO THE
 NEW THAMES BRIDGE
staked Out and Calls for Removal of
 Large Oil Tanks.

The tanks of the Standard Oil com pany in East New London will have to be moved to make way for the ap- breaches of the new New Haven road drawbridge across the Thames river. The bridge is to be 110 feet above the present bridge. The oil tanks inter fere with the erection of an approach to the bridge from the New London side of the. river and will therefore have to be moved little to the west.
 The tanks can be moved without their service being injured, while the engineering plans for the bridge have to be adhered 10 absolutely. 1t was rumored that the tanks were to be fioated down the river and located at Fort Neck, but this idea was laughed at at the company's office.
 During the past two weeks stakes have been laid out near the tanks showing the approach to the new bridge. Saturday engineers were al work on the present bridge.

MACHINE HELPS ON FARMS
Gasoline and steam Engines solve
the Problem of Hired
Hands.

One dairy farm in New York state IL
equipped with a twelve-horsepower portable
engine which operates at different times
or In tandem a four-roll mounted husker,
a grinder shelter a separator, belted
pump jack feed cooker and very neat
and clean washing outfit for cans. pals
and bottles. Another dairyman owned a
herd OF twenty-five Holstein COWS and as he
found Il difficult to get the hired men to
milk these regularly and efficiently, he
bought a small gasoline engine and a
milking machine. The engine and vacuum
pump were placed in a small room near
the COW barn and the cows are now MIXED
at less expense and in less than third OF
the time required when he depended upon
the uncertain hired men.
One feature of the question worthy Of
special note Is that boys on the farm can
do work that was formerly considered fit
only for strong men. A boy of "a can belt
up the engine TO any number Of machines
and start Il going. Even the farmers wife
welcomes Il with open arms with it's pos
slbility Of totally eliminating the hard work
Of washing clothes and dishes and oper-
ating the sewing machine and churn.
on the big farms OF the west the use OF
steam years ago changed conditions from
what tley were, puJ the steam tractor and
the big stationary steam engine work under
great disadvantages in regions where coal
IL high priced and difficult to get at and
where the water supply for the boilers
in the field is an ever perpexing problem.
The gasoline engine using very portable
fuel saves enormously on this end
ON the small farm It has no rival; in
fact. 1t occupies a unique field of its own
steadily displacing the horse, the hired
man and the farmers own hands 1t makes
