The Science Should Be Taught 4.
Every Agricultural school.
The suggestion that the money de.
posted in postal savings banks, if es.
tablished, should be loaned for the pur.
pose of building good roads has been
fayorably received in most quarters;
but F. II. Ray, pioneer good roads man
Of Montana, thinks that public debtsare
already large enough, and that more
knowledge Of the best methods should
be acquired before undertaking such
general and elaborate work. He says,
In the L. A. w. Bulletin:
Ignorance is far more responsible
for bad roads than lack of expenditure.
Without disparagement of the many
honest, well-meaning road officers, the
fact remains that road funds are large
ty misspent because officials have had
no adequate training for such work.
Many road reformers believe the i'm
perative prelude to general system of
good roads, economically constructed
and well maintained, is sufficient
number of resident, competent road
engineers and country road supervis-
ors, and that no bonding should be con,
sidered before a county has road off,
GERS who demonstrate their ability by
building a few miles. a. least, of per-
manent good roads yys1h the funds an
nually raised by taxation.
How is it possible to use road
funds wisely, over extensive area, until
majority recognize that special skill
u required for that work, and elect
thoroughly qualified officials? Is not
the most urgent need therefore, for
competent road-builders, instead of
greater expenditure? Would not efforts
to provide such trained officials yield
far more satisfactory and less costly
results than creating road debts? II
every state had one or more schools
doing what the'hgricultural college of
Rhode Island Is accomplishing, viz
giving a practical course in road-mals-
ing, and if in addition, after, say 1s99
no one was eligible to road office who
had not graduated with good record
from such schools, would not the great
obstacle to better roads be re-
moved? -.
Finally, counties that are equipped
with competent road officers should,
before borrowing, exact cash instead
Of labor road or poll tax, and remove
the discrimination which exempts men
aged As and up. If. then, the commune
ty wish to bond, they should observe.
two precautions-first, place the in
terest burden only on those lands bene-
6ted by the improved highway, and,
second, make the bonds short time and

BRoAD-TIRED WAGONS.
Result of Tests Conducted at the
Missouri Experiment Station.

Result of Tests Conducted at the
Missouri Experiment Station.
The Missouri experiment station has
made large number CT experiments
during the past two years with the
draft of broad and narrow-tired wag-
0ns. These tests have been made with
the ordinary narrow-tired wheels and
with six-inch tires, on macadam streets,
gravel and dirt roads in all conditions,
on meadows, pasture, stubble and
plowed fields both wet and dry. Bulle-
tin No. 80 of the station, by Director II.
]. Waters, gives the results of these
tests. The broad tires pulled materially
lighter on the macadam street and the
gravel roads. Also ON dirt roads in all
conditions except when soft or sloppy
on the surface, undertake by hard road
bed, and when the mud was very deep
and sticky. In both of these conditions
the narrow tires pulled considerably
lighter. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that the roads are in these
conditions for a comparatively short
period of time, and this at seasons when
their use has naturally been reduced to
the minimum. The tests on meadows.
pastures, stubble land, corn land and
plowed ground in every condition, from
dry, hard and firm to very wet and soft,
show, without single exception, a
large saving in draft by the use of the
broad tires.
The bulk of the hauling done by the
farmer is on the farm, in hauling feed
from the fields and hauling manure
from the barns, etc. The actual ton.
mage hauled to market is insignificant
in comparison with that hauled about
on the farm, inasmuch as a large pro-
portion of the products of the average
farm is sent to market in the form of
live stock or its products. 1t is clearly
shown by these experiments that in
many instances where the narrow tire
is very injurious to the road or field, the
broad tire proves positively beneficial
when the same load is hauled. When ii
is considered, therefore, that the av-
erage draft Of the broad tire is materi-
ally less than the narrow tire, and that
the injury done to the roads and farms
by the narrow tire can be almost wholly
corrected by the use of the wide tires,
there remains no longer any good
reason for the use of the narrow-tircd
wagons. These experiments further in
dictate that six inches is the best width
of tire for the farm and road wagon,
and that both axles should be the same
length, so that the front and rear
wheels shall run in the same track
