WIDE AND NARRcw TIRES.
An Experiment. that Demonstrated thu
Prsctlcability Of the wide Tire Over th1
Narrow-Tire Wheel.
At the annual meeting Of the State
Road improvement association, held II
the Agricultural building, Columbis
recently, the college made comparison
of the draft required to haul q giver
load over fairly firm road with
inch and 1k-inch wheels.
The load, including the driver, and
exclusive of the weight of the wagon
was 1850 pounds.
The result showed a saving Of 5;
pounds of draft. or 25 per cent. b.
using the wide tires. A good horse Il
estimated to be able to exert Q con
slant pull of $50 pounds for te D6ur,
per day. walking 2H miles pcf hour
The wide tires in this trial effected ,
saving Of slightly more than onc-thiri
Of a horse.
The greatest advantage of the wild,
tires was shown in the case with which
the load was started. It required q.
average of 500 pounds to start the loai
when the narrow tires were used, Will.
gao pounds started the same load whel
the wide tires were put on the wagon
In many cases it is comparatively
easy to haul the load afterit is started
and if by using the wide tires the fore
necessary to give motion to the wagol
is reduced more than half it is an im
portant matter. Tho college will re
peat tests on soft ground. or meadows
streets and muddy roads, and publisl
the results in an illustrated bulletin
which viii be distributed free of charg'
to all applicants. Anyone wishing thi
pamphlet may have it by addressin,
