Greatest Menace to Tractor Which
Could BE Put to More Use on Many
OF the Small Farms.

We will never be able to readily
make much use of the gas or steam
tractor on the farms until we make un
our minds to pay more attention to our
roads and bridges. Especially the
bridges. They are the greatest men,
ance to the tractor and the tractors
driver, and there has been little i'm
provement in the type of bridges since
the engine was put to work on the
farms, writes William e. Rose of Iowa
In Farm Progress.
1t la rather strange that we are will
ing to use the traction engine to pull
our road plows and our road graders
and still refuse to build bridges and
culverts strong enough to allow the,
same engine to pass in safety when
pulling tbreshing outfit or train Of
farm waSons. But 1t Ia the truth, new
ertheless
In spits OF all the possibilities of tina
tractnf or the old-fashioned traction
engine, lot Of people look upon 1t as
al Ugly contraption that ruins road
surfaces, smashes culverts, breaks
down bridges, scares horses and sets
fire to meadows and rail fences.
1t Ia altogether wrong. We could
make splendid use of the tractor on
any and all farms of more than eighty
acres Some day we will make these
engines do much of the work, the
heavy hauling done by horse teams,
and we will save money by so doing.
But that time will not come until we
have better roads. And that cannot
comes to pass until we get better su-
peryision of road building than We
have at present.
In many states the traction driver
who crosses a bridge takes chance
not only of injury to himself and his
expensive engine, but also assumes the
liability of having to repair the bridge
ii he breaks 1t down. Such laws dis
courage the use of tractors as much
as they do better road building. The
bridges are the worst feature of this
condition.
The tractor has q right to use the
public highways. It has just as much
right to, the public road as the heavy
automobile, the overloaded farm wag-
on or any other heavy conveyance.
The men who build such engines and
the men who would like to own and
use them should insist that these ma.
chimes be given that right. No one
dreams Of forcing the automobile of
the public highways now. and the over.
.oaded farm wagon has used the public

roads since they were the merest
trails
The heavy wheels and the weight Of
. tractor help pack the highways and
make them more durable. The big
wheels compact the road surface. and
this Is one reason why the tractor is
SO efficient as a road grader and build
er. With good bridges and solidly built
culverts there will be no trouble with
the usual type of tractor. whether gas
or steam.
We are going to have to pay more
attention to the kind Of work contrac-
tors do on our steel and concrete
bridges and we will be forced to see
that the original specifications make
allowance for the weight Of tractors.

ending with our present highly per.
fected detective system. regret to
say that there still exists one relic Of
the practice Of obtaining confessions
by influence Of the clergy. I refer to
securing them by means of the third
degree"
A curious instance of confession I
have found in 4 record of the latter
part of the eighteenth century.
During the year 1890 an alteration
occurred between James Thorpe and
Pardon Winston In Bradford. a small
town In Massachusetts Robert Thorpe.
a brother Of James. came on to the
scene while the fight was in progress
and struck Winston on the head with
a piece of wood. knocking him Ems
less. However. he revived In u few
minutes. and the brothers. who had
been friends Of Winston. frightened
lest he had been killed. assisted him
to his home. expressing great regret at
the occurrence.
Winston did not seem any the worse
for the blow he had received and re-
NAMED in Bradford some time after
the scufle. But n day he was miss
ed. and, when months passed and he
did not show up. among the various
causes for his disappearance that were
suggested was n that the quarrel be-
tween him and the Thorpe brothers
had been renewed and the missing
man had come to his death through
their instrumentality.
However. since there was nothing
but inference in the matter. the U.S.
picion died down. Several years
after Wtnston's disappearance Abner
Twitchell. Il citizen of Bradford.
dreamed one night that the ghost Of
Winston hal appeared to him and said
that the Thorpe brothers had killed
him, burned his body and buried the
residue under a beech tree. the only
tree standing in the back yard Of his
home. TwitcheIl gave the civil au-
thorities an account of his dream.
At this point in my narrative 1t IL
well to remember the conditions Of
that period. The belief in witchcraft
that had reaped q many victims had
! died out among educated persons, but
still prevailed among the lower class.

WAR ON RATS.

Farmers do not realize the de-
%struction due to the rat plague,
but the world is beginning to
consider the rat as the carrier
Of disease as well as agent of
destruction.
In the rat we have a twofold
enemy-an enemy that destroys
property and an enemy that i'm
perils health.
Let us have community CO.
operation in an anti-rat cam
paign. 1t is estimated that the
rats destroy property worth $780,
100000 annually. This seems a
small estimate.
Only constant alertness will
enable the family to protect it.
self from the depredations Of the
rats, but through community CO.
operation it ought to be possible
to rid the country Of rats. 1t is
one of those pestilences that bring
no compensation whatever. We
know some Of the benefits of the
boil weevil, and some people
think that the English sparrow
earns its living in checking the
growth Of the caterpillar, but
the rat does no good whatever
and is worse than snakes about
the henhouse.
