way was the fact that. differing 40 much
in width from those in general use. il
could not run in the bottom of the rut
formed by them. but would have IN make
its own rut upon the sides Of the Others,
thus increasing the draft. If all wagons,
or the majority of them, were of this
character, this difficulty would, of course,
be obviated, and wider and shallower
ruts formed.
Protecting HORSES FROM FLIES
A French pharmaceutical chemist has
discovered q way to protect horses from
the attacks Of flies, according to a Lon
don medical paper. His invention con-
sists in rubbing the horses, especially on
the parts most subject to attack. with n
little concentrated oil of laurel. There
is not the slightest danger in its use, and
the cost is said to be very small. An
other repellant suggested by the same
person, is a solution of sixty grammes
