At Wingen, in New South wales,
about 400 miles from Sydney, is burn
ing mountain, one Of the most remark
able sights to be seen in Australia. It
is 1890 feet in height and is supposed to
be a large coal seam which has in some
unaccountable way become ignited and
has been burning for many years, GER
tainly long before the advent of the
white man in this portion Of the colony.
The course of the fire can be traced a
considerable distance by the numerous
depressions or chasms oocasioned by the
falling in Of the ground from beneath
which the coal has been consumed.
Smoke is continually issuing from the
sides Of the mountain, and in the vicin-
ity Of these openings the surface is hot
and has a dry, parohed appearance.
while sticks thrust into these openings
are very readily ignited. Indianapolis

No appeal was ever made for road i'm

road p" For genuine pleasure in riding
or driving no road can discount such a
one so long as 1t is kept in repair and

WIDE TIRES TESTIMONY.
Their Superiority Over the Narrow
Shown Observations of a Farmer.

Their Superiority Over the Narrow
Shown Observations of a Farmer.
wish to give my observation and ex.
perienca l have lot of teams to look
after, and we have on the farm but two
narrow tired wagons. In the spring of
1891 when hauling manure the wagon
with inch tires and the one with
y inch both went to the field together,
the loads being equal When in the field,
the broad tired drove in and unloaded:
the narrow stuck. Four horses were
put to 1t to get it Ia place to unload
The condition of the field was the same,
broad tires on top of the ground, narrow
tires in ground about eight inches
In addition to the farm also own the
largest sawmill plant in southeastern
Indiana and now use wide tires ON all
wagons. none being less than y inches
The common dirt roads clay have no
stone ON them in this country, and roads
that are used by common farmers are
cut TO pieces-all rut and mud-while
the roads used by the log wagons are
solid and fit to drive over at all times.
Al t4it iiltik VI 1919 We LINZ u tDupiC
Of mule teams 10 help pillow wet piece
of ground was in the field when they
struck it The mules, which weighed
near 70 $50 pounds each, mired to their
knee and Were unhitched TO get them
out Then ordered one of our heavy
draft teams to try to pillow where mules
could not, and they completed the job in
agood manner. They weighed l,790 and
l.s40 each. From my observation and
actual experience having under my
charge more horses and wagons than
three or four farmers in this section Of
Indiana, | am led to believe that the
wide tire Is the roadmaker and the mar
row tire the road breaker and horse
killer Whore cannot go with
wagon with tires 4. inches wide and a
team Of Clydes weighing from /. 500 to
l.s00 pounds each no man with narrow
tires dare go with the same load. no diff
ference what his team may be-.
Give Us wide tires and compel farmers
10 use them and we will have better
roads than We ever have had and save
