had four teams Of horses which ne was
using in local hauling. He sold the
horses and wagons and finds he can
do more and better work with his one
truck. A truck does not get sore necks
and shoulders. it does not die at the
rate of one or two a season. When
II lets down, an oyerhauling will in a
day or two restore it to normal.
The service rendered by the motor
transport man is not confirmed alone
to mere hauling of material between
the farm and the city and the city and
farm. When he first entered the bust
ness, he used TO act as agent for his
customers selling their stock in the
city for cash and carrying the money
back to them. Now, however. he no
longer does this, as the danger of rob-
oery or Of losing the money is 100
great 10 warrant the risk.
He still acts as agent. bowavor
When he takes a load of goods 10 mar
ket he personally makes sure that the
farmer for whom he is hauling gets
full credit for every ounce Of mer-
chandise accepted by the buyer. Not
long ago. a farmer in his neigbborbood
was offered 10 cents a hundred pounds
for hogs delivered to the CITY. He
learned of this before the man ac-
cepted the offer Knowing that by
personally accompanying the hogs to
market the man could get a better
price for them. be drove TO his farm
and stated his belief. The man was
willing TO try it. SO they loaded hogs
on the truck and drove TO the city.
Here the man received POS cents per
hundred pounds for his hogs. an in
crease Of 1.6 cents, besides the saving
of at least 10 per cent from shrinkage
and the avoidance of possible loss
through accident or disease.
In the matter of price charged for
his work, the motor truckman's rates
are a little bit higher than the rail

Many Are Difficulties
In the Shipping of Cattle.s


Besides the delay, theft, breakage
and shrinkage are factors which in
crease the unsatisfactoriness of con-
signing stock TO the cattle car.
The theft to which all freight ship
ments are subjected is so potent fac
tor that the United States govern
ment has organized federal police
force to combat the thieves. Break
age means injury or disease among the
cattle. The jostling of a car as 1t Is
being switched about and the unsani-
tary condition of the cars, cause in
nries and sickness which decrease
materially the value of stock.
shrinkage is an important item. On
this railroad trip of 35 miles the
shrinkage on steers is from u 10 per
cent, and on hogs from u to is per
cent. an item of considerable impor-
lance, when one considers that this
means the farmer will receive that
much less in money than he ought to.
since his has been the trouble and la
Dor of bringing the stock up to the
weigh at which ii was shipped.
There is no shrinkage in a three
hour motor truck haul. Nor are there
any injuries and conractions OF dis
ease. or theft. or tiresome and uncer-
tain delays. When a farmer wants TO
send any quantity Of cattle to the
packing plants. instead OF being
obliged 10 combine with other farmers
to obtain a car, and instead of sub
jecting his stock TO the unsatisfactory
service of the railroad. all that is
necessary is TO phone and have the
stock in the barn awaiting the truck
mans arrival with his truck.

his truck on his farm and depart for
the city.
The fact that the farmers can cut
out the loading and the wagon haul
to a railroad" declared this man
made them especially favorable to
my scheme. Only last week a little
incident occurred which shows what
a factor for efficiency and convenience
this is. Shortly before 1 started on
my daily trip TO the city / received a
telephone call, informing me that a
certain farmer had a calf which he
wanted TO sell. and that he wanted
me 10 drive by his place and get the
animal. He told me he would tie the
calf TO the mail box at the junction of
the main road and the road leading
up to his farm. On my way in 1

calf was tied to the box. l loaded him
on my truck and sold him three hours
later 10 a packing plant in St. Louis.
The farmer telephoned me. That was
all. J never even saw him. 1t was not
necessary. Cases like this are fire.

Possibly the greatest element of at

the elimination of railroad trouble. II

wishes to ship by train to the city
and sell. he must combine with his
neighbors who also have cattle for sale
in order to obtain a car-unless. OF
course, he has sufficient himself to ill

He must drive his cattle TO the town
where the railway sation is and put
the stock in the town stOck-pen, along
with the animals of the other farmers
The men thus combining their interest
must apply for a car. await its arrival
and then turn their precious potential

mercies of a cattle car.

a LOAD OF MERCHANDISE TO OESTRI BUTED
RETURN Trip INTO cOUNTRX

by himself, or. preferably. by a man
who makes hauling a regular business.
There are a number of men in the
country who are engaged in this bust
ness. For the most part they are men
from the rural neighborhoods, thor
oughly familiar with conditions sur
rounding them-an advantage which a
city man would not have should he
attempt to enter the business.
Two years ago man we know. con
ceIved the idea that he could make
money by buying truck and going
into the business of hauling for the
farmers living around his little town
Accordingly. he made the purchase of
a two-ton truck, and since then has
been coming into a not distant city
on an average of four days out of ev-
cry week.
Devoting his efforts particularly to
the carrying of live stock. he has
developed a business whose steadiness
Is never in doubt. He has more calls
for space on his truck than he can &C
commodate, and is always dated up
for more than a week in advance. He
has a regular list Of between fifty and
seventy-fve clients. whose business he
never fails TO get.
Live stock. however. is not his only
interest. nor is the return trip ever an
empty one. He also carries poultry,
eggs and other produce, and he al
ways takes back to his home with him
a load OF furniture. machinery, gro
ceries. feed and the many other ar
ticles which are needed in the rural
community and supplied by the urban
merchants.
After his purchase or the truck. he
began 10 fear that the inevitable aver
sion OF mankind to adopting new in
novatiOns would retard the use OF his
truck. and the employment Of his
scheme. He personally visited the res
idents OF the farm near by. and al

and as the railroad trip takes longer
than trip by wagon. the average
farmer prefers to extend his haul to
the commission man or the packing
plants In the city and personally sell
his goods instead OF intrusting this af-
fair to someone else whose interest
certainly is not the farmers.

Men In Country
Have Advantage In Trucking.
The farmer. however. has outgrown
this tiresome, proftless method of
transporting his goods. What the
modern farmer wants is a rapid trans
portation system which will eliminate
the unsatisfactory railroad service, in
cident to short hauls, and the Excess
sive travel for horse-6rawn vehicles.
The only thing which will meet this
want is the automobile truck operated

Railroads Are Not
Practical for Short Hauls.

necessary TO carry in the edible goods.
One trip a week means. If the farmer
lives any distance at all from the con-
Stunning center, virtually a whole day
lost, as far as work on the farm for
that day is concerned.
In order TO bring In hts produce. the
farmer must start the night before the
day on which he hopes TO get to the
city. This means an all-night trip into
town and an all-day trip back to the
farm. where both men and horses ar
rive thoroughly fatgued. The time
which men and horses would other
wise devote TO farm work is lost In
addition, an unusually severe strain
is put upon the team, which fore
shortens their lives.

use of motor truck. But this IN turn

that. for the average farmer. a truck
