They Voted the subscription.

Special telegram 70 the Dispatch.l
MARTINsULIE, March 2S.-There has
been much interest manifested in the
meeting of the Board of Supervisors to-
day. The most important question be-
fore the board was whether or not they
would make subscription of 100000
to the Roanoke and Southern railroad.
Alter much discussion the subscription
was made by vote of 8 to |. The di-
rectors present gave a most flattering ac-
count of the outlook for the road. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed. AS the
success of this great project is assured,
Martinsville will make rapid strides to
city promotions.

Wide-Tired Wagon Wheels.

1t is for the interest of every farmer
to save in every direction that he can
in the strength of his animals as well
as in the harvesting of his crops. In the
use of wagons for the transportation of
heavy loads, especially if the soil is
very soft, it is very noticeable to what
extent narrow-tired wheel will cut
into the soil, with an effect upon the
draft very similar to blocking the wheel
If any farmer has doubts regarding this
effect let him try to push loaded
wheelbarrow with narrow tire upon a
good furrow soil, and then suddenly
change to one that is soft and yielding.
The effect is very marked, and is the
same in a greater degree in case of loaded
teams. In either case the effect can be
remedied by a change to wde-tired
wheels. Such change is not only of ad-
vantage to the animals hauling the load,
but also to the road or field over which
the load is to be hauled. All roads
would be very much less rutted if wide
tired wheels were required in all cases
of heavy loading, and upon the farm
how much better to use wheel having
tire sufficiently broad to avoid cut
ting a deep rut rather than narrow
tired wheel that, under a heavy load
sinks several inches into the soil and
upon turf land forming disagreeable
rut. The additional expense for wide
tired wheels is many times compen-
stated for in the saving of wear to ami
mails and also to .-Germanto torn
Telegraph.
Our experience fully confirms the
Telegraph'S ideas. For some years
we have used two-horse wagon
with tires three inches wide, and with
ever-increasing satisfaction. The draft
of the wagon is easier than one with
narrow tires, as the wheels do not cut
down into the soil nearly as much, and
unsightly and troublesome ruts are
saved where one has to drive across
moving lands in the spring. Wide
tires for us.

The Best Cow for Dairying.

There is another thing the dairymen
might discuss with a great deal of
profit at farmers institutes, " What
form and size of COW will bring the
most profit to the dairy farmer?" The
discussion, if based on facts, will not
get far before it will be found that the
dairyman has no use for general
purpose cow" The beef COW eats her
head off beside the medium-szed dairy
COW. The beefy COW must needs be
kept too many years before her extra
four hundred pounds of beef can be
made available, and then it must sell
for the cheap sort of beef. In France
an experiment has just been concluded
between two cows of three hundred
pounds difference in weight. The
produce of the small COW for ten years
equaled that of the larger COW, and the
difference in the cost of maintenance
was seven hundred twenty francs
-Sl45-while the extra three hundred
pounds of beef sold at last for forty
five francs-S9. In this country we
will find that we are keeping millions
of pounds of COW that is not only of no
profit, but actually consuming the
profits of the real dairy cows.-Dairy
World.
