but Does More Work.

,Pr.par.d BY the United Stat.s Department
Of AGricuiturs)
Every farmer who owns tractor
naturally is interested in the cost of
operating his machin. and in rcduc-
ing that cost wherever possible. Cost
Of use. according to Investigations
made in corn belt farms by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. de-
pends chiefly on depreciation. fuel. re-
pairs and upkeep, interest, and luhri-
eating oil. The relative Importance
of these elements OF cost may vary
in different sections and on different
farms in the same locality, but they
make up the greater part oi the cost
OF using the tractor. and the poSS!bi'-
tiles OF reducing the cost Of Use lie
almost entirely In cutting down the
size Of these items.
Cost Of Operation.
While the cost per year and per day
Of operating thre".plow machines Is
considerably greater than for two
plow machines. the greater amount of
work done by the larger outfits. mt
lenSt on drnwbnr operations. makes
the cost per unit Of work approximate
ly the same for both sizes.
Depreciation Is wholly dependent
upon the length Of life and the first
cost of TIE machine. The deprecia-
iion costs as determined by the de-
parrment's Investigations are based on
n first cost Of 500 and u life of 6.4
years for two-plow machines and of
$500 and seven wears for threeplow
machines The depreciation cost for
the two-plow outfit per year is given
MS SIS: for one day. Sal; for the
thrrc.p'ow outfit per year, Sl29; and
per day. Sab.
Fuel and OIL Costs
Fuel and oil costs are dependent on
the amount Of work done. and while
this cost may be large for the season
II will not he out ~ proportion to the
work done. From the same inveStign-
tions fuel and oil costs for the two
plow outfit was given rs 500 per year
and S3W per day: for the three plow
outfits SlOS per yenr and S.I9 per
day. Interest on the small machines
amounts to Sl1 per year and on the
larger ones s3l. Repairs and upkeep
costs ar. influenced by the care and
attention given to the tractor and the
ability Of the operator "a do his own
repairing. In these Investigations
there have been found to he Ss5 for
the small machines per wear and S%t
for the larger ones. Other costs on
the average will amount to no, far
from ! per cent Of the total cost Of
operating the tractor.
The annual depreciation. repair and
interest charges do nor Increase in
to the amount of work
done per y"nr: consequently the daily
cost OF these Items will he least for
machines which do the greatest
amount OF work.

a raid on John Lucass grocery and
butcher shop in Butler street. Five
bottles Of moonshine and the appara-

with violation of the State dry law.
Had Lucas not been a little dilatory
the police would have lost their evil
dence. The bottles of liquor were each

dumping apparatus. A lever in the
front of the store was connected by
wires with the apparatus and slight
downward pressure was sufficient to
pull the corks and turn the bottles
over, dropping the evidence" into the
bottom of the ice box, whence the
liquor ran into pipe leading to the
sewer.
According to the police. several

All night long citizens surrounding
the hut kept up heavy fire and al
intervals volleys of lead were fired
from behind the barricade. At the
first break OF dawn the whites were
preparing to rush the house from all

The bodies of Andrews and Wilker-
son lay all night where they fell. No
one would venture to get them, so hot
was the fire from behind the barri-
cade. Andrews leaves a widow and
three children and Wilkerson widow
and five children.
The hut was in total darkness
throughout the night, but efforts of
the citizens to creep up on the bar
ricade met with a heavy fire. The
negroes seemed well supplied with
most of it being buck

were placed under heavy guard. At

people AZ the hearing. Because a
the lateness OF > train from New
Haven the meeting did not start until
~ o'eleek.
In presenting the revised plans for
the elimination OF Clayton crossing
the railroad officials stated that lhey
did not diner greatly from the firss
enes presented excepting that a pro-
posed bridge Al Clayton crossing was
more In line with the street
saunders Suggests Highway
At this point II. l.. Saunders 81 the
state highway department and for
mer employe OF the City of New
britain. stated that several years ago
a plan had been submitted In regard
10 building q new highway, Mr..
etockwell OF the New Haven road
said that he had a similar plan with
him. which had been discussed brief
Iy and also called for the erection OF
. new state road.
The plan showed that the Clayton
erossng would be eliminated entirely
by erecting fences on each side and
blocking wethersheld road. The new
road would he about 100 feet east of
tho railroad tracks and running par
ailel 20 them from Wethersfieid road
10 East street. New Britain.
Elimination Of Crossings
There was considerable dNcuasion
as 20 what and how any Crossings
could be eliminated IN New Britain.
The plan showed that inasmuch as
East street In a state aid road. all
traffic could be diverted over the East
street crossing from the west side OF
tho tracks and the Allen street cross
ing could be eliminated. Another
plan called for the erection OF a
bridge near the Allen street crossing
and eliminating the East street cross
ing as we'll as that at Clayton.
Opposition From Property Owners.
A number of residents and taxpay-
ers along the railroad property In
Newington stated that they would be
entirely opposed to anything but the
erection OF the bridge at Clayton
crossing.
They claimed that II Clayton cross
ing were fenced off the road would
he blocked and New Britain people
living In the vicinity Of the crossing
and on the west side of the tracks
would be obliged to go all the way to
East street before they could cross the
tracks II they wanted to get into
Newington. T:ey were not SO deeply
concerned about going to Hartford as
they claimed they could go by way of
Stanley Quarter in New Britain. They
also claimed that this section is build
ing UP and the value of the land will
decrease instead of increase.
Judge Gaffney's Opinion.
Judge B. F. Gaffney in entering
the discussion said that there Is prac-
tically no real estate confronting rail-
road property in New Britain which
can be used for factory purposes and
he thought that II the new highway
were constructed it would afford
or coal dealers an op- !
portunity to acquire some desired
land.
Because the plans of the new road
as submitted were not clear and con-
else it was the opinion Of Commits
sioner Higgins that another hearing
should be held. He was interested in I
the new plan inasmuch as 1t calls for
the elimination of more than one rail-
road crossing.
