Broad Tires and Good Roads,

The friends of good roads throughout
the country have taken heart at the re-
cent declarations of the present head of
the Department of Agriculture that one of
his chief efforts will be to effect better
ment of the highways of America. Fruits
of this announcement, says the Wash
ington Star, seem to be sprlnging up in
all sections. Already there is a revival
of the agitation for broad tires, which,
it is asserted by those who have studied
the matter, will materially aid in the re.
clamatlon of the roads from their dread
full condition. California had previously
passed law which will take effect Janu-
airy l, 1900, regulating the width of tires to
be used on all vehicles, according to the
size of the axles, and providing heavy
money penalty for infractions. Thus
ample time is given by the statute for the
farmers and others to have their tires
changed. 1t is demonstrated that where
as the narrow tires are road destroyers,
| cutting ruts into the best surfaces and
breaking into the foundations, the broad
tires are road makers, rolling the mater
ials compactly and serving to preserve
the highway. Thus the change from the
small to the large size affects double
gain. 1t is curious fact that country
blacksmiths as rule advise their patrons
to stick to the narrow tires, urging that
draft is lighter with them than with the
broad ones. This is untrue, as has been
shown by actual experiments. except in
certain infrequent conditions of the road
With good roads even these exceptions
would be impossible. In the long run
the broad tire will save the stock of the
farmer hundreds of thousands of pounds
of hauling. 1t would seem to be to the
interest of the smith to fall in with the
march of progress and advise the setting
of broad tires, for that would bring a
great rush of business. The remedy ap.
pears to lie in the enactment of compul-
sorry legislation such as that of California
supplemented by better road laws IN ali
the states. Meanwhile the general gov.
ernment will probably go ahead on the
lines laid down By Secretary Wilson
demonstrating practically to the farmer,
at the experiment stations that good
roads mean better returns from their
efforts.
