Broad or Narrow Tires.

The Country GentleVlan upon the
subject of broad or narrow tiers for
farm-wagons has the following, based
upon dynamOmetcr tests:
On new gravel road, not vet hard
ened by use. a force equal to one-eighth
of the weight of the wagon had to be
applied to draw it. On the best hard
earth road one-twenty-ffth was found
sufficient; on the best-broken stone road,
one-siXtieth; while on a railroad force
of one ton would draw 28O tons.
The resistance on rough roads was
slightly diminished by steel springs on
the wagon, at the same time that COM
fort to the horse and driver was in
creased, as well as safety to the harness
and wagon. The firmness given to q
road OF broken stone by means of n
solid paved foundation was found to
lessen the resistance about one-third.
The width of wagon-wheels involves
some questions which should be well
understood. Wheels with broad tires on
farm would pass over a cloddy sur
face and not sink into it, and would
press the surface of pasture and new
meadows without cutting it. Marrow
wheels would not only cut and spoil the
surface but require greater force of
draft. The mud of soft earth would
close on both sides of the rim and load
the wheels. Broad wheels are most
useful Oh tracts of broken stone and
gravel, rendering them smooth, hard

with flowers, and carried by the familv's

household requisites, are also added to
the dowry. On the Gaina every family
which has manageable daughter oc-
cuples a distinct tent, in which the
dowry is exhibited, and in which the
