He finished the work and returned home by the noon train yesterday. Dr. Kearns, in retiring from the management of the telephone central desires The Northwestern to ex press for him his heartfelt thanks to our people for the excellent treat ment accorded him during the past four years of his management of that important station. Not only have they upheld him with their sympathy and moral support., but in a financial way, though he has transacted thous ands of dollars’ of business with the public, he has not lost one cent through their agency, but every farthing has been paid cheerfully and willingly, and he retires from the central with most gratefel remem brance of the kindness and courtesy tccorded him by each and everv one. He will now devote himself to the practice of his profession, making for the present office practice a specialty, as will be noticed by his card else where in our columns. It would be useless for us to try and add a good word for Dr. Kearns in his profession al line, as our people are well ac quainted. with him as a physician, and one and all, without exception, give him unstinted praise as one of the most successful practitioners ever in our city.

The manufacturers ■ have done away witli the old-fashioned plan of driving one part of I H the machine from one wheel and another part from the other wheel. K It has been demonstrated thoroughly that both traction wheels on a spreader should be so arranged that they will eacli do an equal proportion of the work. The Litchfield Spreader takes all the power from both traction wheels direct to one large gear and rfom this gear I the work of moving the load and operating the beater wheel is dis tributed in proportion to the requirements. i i Listen, only half the traction or that coming from the left wheel is applied to the axle. The right traction wheel applies its work direct to the large gear independent of the axle. Note that the axle therefore has only half the twisting strain which other machines apply to it where both traction wheels drive through the axle. Just compare this with those machines that drive the beater ' wheel with one traction wheel and drive the conveyer witli another This puts from TO to 90 per cent of the load on to the beater wheel side. Plainly this is a faulty construction and is what vou do not find in the Litchfield maeliine.
