Men have come from points In the middle west to inspect the machlue. I*atesk reports from Smith field are that Mt Kirkman has added an Im provement to the tdachine in the form of a mowing machine blade which will cut graaa and weeda (onjUsn. ehoulder of the highway while mark ing of the traffic lines is underway. Thia addition doubles the useful ness of the machine without any ex tra expense whatever for operating It sides ft derives its the renter line in the highway.'- The driver of the machine can paint the center line of I the highway and at the aame time cut the weeds on the side of tha road. The only manual labor required operate the blade is to lower It from the gnat to tbs ground and pull lit the gear lever, after which it works • utomat‘rally and somewhat similar to the ordinary McCormick horse drawn field mower. It is true this extra mowing attachment will add I some to the Inltlsl cost of the m • bine, but In consideration of the in creased usefulness Ibis extra < hi will be negligible.
