trip. Now just imagine 4 horse team
to haul 72o pound load. The trac-
tive resistance of these roads in mud
dy location on the level, estimate
to be about S25 pounds per ton at
their present condition, and this re-
sistance should be about 100 pounds
per ton on an ordinary dirt road, thus
note the excess horse energy due to
poor roads.
To move n load over an ordinary
dirt road requires a tractive force OF
100 pounds per ton, and therefore the
average two horse team of 1909 pounds
each eXerting force equal to only
one tenth of their weight going at
fair pace can draw "a tons ON the
level. The reserve power to take the
load up Hill Is (O25-c.l0) By 1909 by
2 or $50 pounds. The total load to be
carried mp the grade Is the wagon
and its load. Plus the weight of the
team or "a by Q2OO by divided by
2o00) $40 tons
The grade resistance Is 20 lbs. per
ton for each per cent of inclination.
and the grade resistance of this load

lbs. Therefore the grade up which a
pull OF 800 lbs. will take the 3.6 tons
Is 80 divided by ~ or per cent,
which Is the maximum permissible
grade for an ordinary dirt road. and
by multiplying any Of the above re-
sultants by we can readily see what
the 4 horse team Is capable of doing,

one tenth OF their weight; but this
same team has maximum traciive
power equal To one quarter of its
weight II the grade Is not excessive

places Of one half its weight. Thus
we note the extreme conditions of
these bad roads, as the tractive re-
sistance of Il macadam road is 80 lbs.

nishing liquor to Mildred Brown, II
years old, and member Of a respect
able family here. Borette was held in

took her to the Arlington hotel hired
