fiigelow Ruling Has Been a Help
to People Living in Many
Sections of the State
The use of traction engines on the
highways of Pennsylvania is increas
ing to a great extent since the rules
governing the operation of them were
modified by State Highway Commis
sioner Bigelow. On May 15 of the
present year, when the rules were en
forced as promulgated, 375 tractors
end 104 trailers had been licensed.
At the present time 663 tractors have
been licensed and 1-47 trailers; an in
crease of 288 tractors and 43 trailers.
Recognizing that the height of the
harvest season, in a State of such agri
cultural importance as Pennsylvania,

You should make payment at once to
CLARENCE A. FISHER, Collector, 612 Seneca Street.
ViiTIKSDAY EVENING, EAJRRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 6, 1914
would make necessary the use of a
large number of traction engines on
the roads, Commissioner Blgelow de
cided to suspend certain of the rules
promulgated for 2 these machines on
the highways so that farmers and
others interested in the harvesting of
crops might not be discommoded by
the rules which were felt to be oner
ous.
The protests received by the State
Highway Department concerning the
law governing the operation of trac
tion engines led Commissioner Bige
low to grant every possible request
that might expedite the operation of
thees machines on tife highways dur
ing the agricultural season. To this
end he authorized owners of traction
engines equipped with cleats other
than those prescribed by law to op
erate their engines on the highways
during the year of 1914, with a view
to having the next Legislature modify
the existing law. Tt Is the opinion of
Commissioner Bigeiow that the law
should ze so amended as to make a
distinction between the farmer's trac
tion engine and the big tractor used to
haul freight and heavy loads, since
it is the latter class of engines which
cause the greater damage to the high
ways. Another step taken by the
commissioner to assist the agricultural
Interests was the suspension of Rule
3 governing the operation of traction
engines, so that those owning en
gines of more than 100 Inches in
width, used for agricultural purposes,
can have them registered.

FACTS ABOUT PUMPKINS
In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears an article entitled
"In Defense of Ihe Pumpkin." The
following facts about pumpkins and
the uses to which they can be put are
taken from the article:
"Pumpkins are largely composed of
water, and so some agricultural writers
have declared that pumpkins have but
little value as stock food. The same
objection might be made against grass,
which everybody knows Is the best
food in the world for farm live stock.
Pumpkins, in my experience, are as
valuable to feed to cows and steers
as turnips, rutabagas and beets.
"Horses are fond of pumpkins and
will eat them without any cutting up.
They are healthful for horses that are
kept on dry feed when fed in modera
tion.
"Hogs will eat pumpkins, and they
are cheap and wholesome feed for
them whe nfed In connection with
grain. We cut the pumpkins Into
small pieces which can he eaten easily,
and put them Into the trough Instead
of breaking them up and throwing
them into the pen. We find It pays
well for the time spent in cutting. The
pumpkins are fed in the morning when
appetites are keen, and before the
grain is given."
WAGES THAT FARMERS GET
In the current Issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, Judson C.
Welllver, Washington correspondent of
that publication, writes a most inter
esting article in which he publishes
many facts recently collected by the
United States Government in the
course of an investigation of 700 farms
in Indiana, Illinois and lowa. On the
question of the wages that the farmer
earns Mr. Welliver reports:
"The most Interesting computation
made by the experts from studying
these 700 farms was that concerned
with the wages the farmer gets. The
hired man always knows what his
wage is; the farmer generally hasn't
an Idea. Well, the statistics show that
Just about one.third of the farmers
managing their own farms get less
than no wages at ull.
"The group of the men who earned
the largest incomes as compensation
for their management of their farms
are shown to have been in almost or
quite all cases live-stock farmers.
"In general, the live-stock farmer
improves his land most: and the man
who sells his crops improves it least,
and commonly may he said to injure it
most."
