How to Change Narrow to wide FeIlies at

How to Change Narrow to Wide Fellies at
small Expense.
Mr.. Thomas b. Parker, in "a paper
read before the Burlington county IN.
j. board Of agriculture, gives the fol-
lowing views on good roads and their
maintenance:
IN 1885 ! was owner OF ono-half
part OF the Salem and Philadelphia line
of the United States Mail stage and
handled the ribbons over good four horse
teams for seven years, travelling 30
miles q day, 10, 920 miles year and
10, 140 miles, or moro than three times
tho circumference Of the globe, in the
sevcn years. 1t was in this travelling
that | studied tho cause of bad roads
and the remedy Marrow tired wagon
wheels are the real cause Of bad roads.
They Will sink into the ground and
mako deep ruts in wet weather, and in
dry weather the sand or dust falls back
into tho rut after the wheels pass and
partly fills up the rut. Therefore wagons
on the level ground are constantly NOV
ing up hill
"Tho remedy Is to remove the cause.
Petition the legislature to regulate the
width Of wagon tires With five inch
tires on tho sand "a ton can be hauled
with cas1 where with the narrow tire an
empty wagon is load. Tires should be
wide enough % keep the wheel on top
Of the ground and without making n
rut wiiiroll tAc ground hard and smooth
ID. ttf 1ati 80, fivn
should bc five inches for the one horse
wagon, six inches for two or three
horses and seven inches for four or
more Ono horse carts should have six
inch tires, and trucks for carting marble
or granite should have six inch for one
horse, seven inch for two or three, as
all the pressure Is on two wheels.
"All two horse stagecoachcs should
not hayo less than six inch tires. Light
carriages may have two inches. The
change Of width of fellies could DO &C.
complishcd without taking the fellies
oil the wheels at small cost. To change
a two inch to six inch Il facing of two
inches on each side of the felly can be
securely fastened SO that the folly will
be as good if not better than new. A
bessomer steel tire six inches wide ana
One-quarter inch thick will cost but lit
Ito moro than iron, but will outwear
iorn and DO much stronger With such q
law, grade all public roads from one 90
three rods wide, according to the travel,
when sandy mixing in clay and with
clay adding sand. The center should
be from four to six inches higher than
tho outside. After grading the road
should be rolled with a cast iron roller
feet long, 4 feet in diameter at each
end and 3 feet inches in the middle.
The coDcavc of roller will suit tho radius
Of the road Tho weight of the roller
should Ice six or seven tons "
