Broad and Narrow-T1red WaQou

oTOtsO es0O n 1rEo"-31Fo wagon.
Mr.. J. W. Sanborn, of tho Missouri
agricultural college, has, with usual
good common sense, been making some
experiments to demonstrate the value O
good roads and broad tires on road and
farm wagons. he says that the condi-
ton of the country road is ono of the
surest indications of the civilization of
the people. The trials were made with
carefully tested dynamometer; the
loads drawn were 1865 pounds each,
and thu felloes and tires we're II inch
and three inches, respectively. The
first test was on Blue Grass sward
somewhat moist, though it had not
rained for two weeks. The average
draft of the narrow-tired wagon
was 439 pounds. while that of the
wide-tired was 80 pounds-a difference
of over Al per cent. in favor of the wide
tire. Assuming the wagons to weigh
1000 pounds each, the same team could
draw 3,248 pounds on the wide tire as
easily as 1000 pounds on the narrow,
and besides this, the wide tires did not
cut through and injure the turf as the
others did. In further test, on a par
TALLY dried dirt road, the broad wheels
showed draft of 81 pounds to AL for
the narrow, being 1877 per cent. in TO-
vor of broad tires, so that with the same
wear and tear of team, tho broad tired
wagon could carry 331 pounds per ton
load, more than the other. Although
these differences disappear on hard
we'll roads he concludes that every
farm should have one or more broad
tired wagons. and says the transfers on
the College farm always prefer such fol
use about the farm. We have long
known the value of broad tire fol
farm wagons, and have such one fol
all work on raw ground or meadow
land. 1t costs very little. if any, more,
and soon pays for itself by saving the
team.

he was forced to do it to keep his wife

The thirteenth and fourteenth precincts
are the city precincts and the balance
belong to the country. In the country
every fourteen (and fractlon) voters
are allowed a representative and in the
city every twenty.four (and fraction)
voters are allowed representative. OF
course there will be no attempt to ex-
plain this disproportion upon the basis
OF fair play. The explanation is that
the individuals who control the mac him
cry of republicanism in Yankton county
and seek to control the nomination and
election OF all officers therein possess
more influence in the country than they
do in the city. We mention these facts
because the apportionment is glaring
injustice to an element whose intelli.
gence and ability to decide public
questions for themselves cannot be
questioned.

fall in its apportionment of representa-
tion in the county convention. 1t gives
to the country precincts sixty.three dele
gates and to the city precincts thirty
four delegates. According to all pre-
cedent this apportionment should be
based upon the vote at the last general
election. The official canvass shows that
at that election Tin November, 1884, the
country precincts cast 929 votes and the
city precincts cast 820 votes. The vari-
