TILE RROAD TIRE AGAIN.

The recent report on the relative merits OF
broad and narrow tires by the Agricultural En-
nerimept Station at Columbia. No. VIII again
call attention TO this question so important 10
farmers. The advantage OF broad tlres is 50
ohvious that the failure Of farmers to ADOPT
,hem generally seems at first sight strange
Rut there is q practical reason for their apathy.
When roads are bad-and many roads, uhlortu-
nately are bad-the broad tire offers such re-
sstance that the vehicle cannot he moved On
tho other hand although the narrow tire cuts
deep]y through the mud. il can be moved for
that very reason, but of course, with a great
expenditure of strength on the part OF the horse
For those reasons the average farmer in coun
fry where the roads are frequently bad cannot
no persuaded TO adopt the broad tire. condl-
tion nrecedent therefore. to the Use Of the broad
tre IS tho general Improvement Of the roads,
and rs that Is a question Of spending money
and often good deal Of money, the argument
in favor OF broad tires does not appeal 10 the
farmer.
There are however. many signs that the farm
org are beginning TO appreciate the great loss
involved in the continued use Of narrow tires.
And the time is rapidly coming when they will
he convinced that the outlay for thoroughly good
roads would he more than offset by the saving
in hOrsehesh and wear and tear effected 10y the
use of broad tires. Every one who thinks about
the matter at all will see that not only could
n much larger load be carried on good road
with broad tires on the vehicle. but 1t could he
transported mucn more quickly and with far
less work on the part Of the horses. SO good
roads and broad tires are really the most eco
nolnlcal in the end though they may involve
! comparatively large initial expense. That Is
the argument that will finally come home to the
farmers. who have thus far been indifferent to
the question. And when ii does, tile desired re-
form will be speedily adopted.

The commonly accepted date. June "a. II pased
ON the authority Of a Spanish pamphlet OF ioi4'
and nothing else. There are severai obvious
errors Of date and other detail In that pam
phlet. which leave It's general au'horf! u! 40
means unimpeachable. What is known Is 'iia'
Cabot was back in London on August ~. ana
therefore mt Bristol few days earlier AND ne
sailed along nine hundred miles OF the Ameri-
can coast Mr.. Harrisse therefore thinks IL ex-
ceedngly doubtful that. after sighting land on
.June "a. he could have explored so long stretch
of coast and got back to England so quickly.
He sailed from Bristol early in May. Therefore
his westward voyage occupied. If this date DO
correct about seven weeks: while his SAILING nine
hundred miles along the coast and DacK again
and then back 10 Bristol occupied onl! SIN
weeks. Certainly it seems probable tha'. as
Mr.. Harrisse concludes the date OF his lanhIail
was somewhat earlier than June "A.
AS TO tho place. there are several theories heid
by eminent authorities one puts IL AT cape
Rore. Newfoundland and another AT Belle lsle'
nj the other extremity of that island: third, on
the coast of Labrador: fourth. at Cape bre'oh'
on the island of that name. The lnst-haihed Is
based on the statement of Sebastian son OF Jomh
Cabot who is now generally recognized 10 nave
been Enthusiastically and untruthful Johh 'ao'
OTIS own statement is that his course bore
little north of west from Ireland NOW, the
southern extremity of Ireland j. far north OF
Cane Breton 1t Is. in fact. in about the latl-
tude of the Strait of Belle Isle. The landing
should have been. therefore, at the northern eA-
tremity of Newfoundland, or on the coast OF
Labrador. Mr. Harrisse puts this theory for-
ward. not as one to which he commits himself
but merely rs a supposiion. The sum. in fact.
of the discussion may he expressed in the words
of Socrates: "All that we know is that we know
nothing" When and where Cabot landed are.
and probably will remain past finding OUT.
Nevertheless, his exploit is worthy of grateful
commemoration. and, since the true date Is I'M
known. that which has long been accepted may

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

There has been decided Improvement in the
state OF business during the last week. due
almost wholly to a more hopeful feeling. Many
things have contributed to that feeling, and
perhaps the remarks Of President Mckinley and
Secretary Gage giving reasons for patience and
hopefuness the most potent, but there
were others more material in character. One
was the distinct improvement in crop prospects.

from Texas and from Kansas. and in CONNER

States and from the Pacific Coast. With these
came further reports indicating every proba-
bility OF a large foreign demand for American
grain during the coming year. Scarcely less
important were reports Of considerable gain in
the demand for products OF important industries
The steady advance in prices Of stocks gave
evidence that the railway situation was con-
sidered more favorable. and not little
enlargement came from the steady progress of
the Tariff bin In the Senate
