II FARM WAGON.
Why 1t Should Have Low Wheels and
Broad Tires.

In doing much of the hauling on the
farm low wheeled wagons will help
materially in lessening the labor of
loading and unloading; while broad
tires will lessen the injury to the fields
in hauling owe them, IL at the same
time lessen the draught.
In hauling wood. rails, manure, fod-
der and many other things. a low
ago will save time and labor to such
an extent hat one will soon pay for
itself. This fact is So generally recog-
nized that low wheels, made to fit any
wagon, can be bought cheap. There
are also detachable tires. made broad,
and so that they ear be attached to a
common farm wagon whenever it is
desired, and then taken off when no
longer wanted. While so many insist
upon using narrow-tired wagons on the
road, it will be best to use a narrow
tire when the roads are muddy and
badly cut up with ruts. But at all
seasons when they can be used the
broad tires are much better in every
way. If they were more generally used
the roads would not be cut up nearly
so badly as they are by narrow tires.
Every farmer will find it an advan
tage to have a low-wheeled, broad-tired
wagon especially TO do the hauling on
the farm. especially hat part which
must be done over the felds.-St
Louis Republic.

Ground Grain for Horses.
