The Draft Of the Wide Tires Materially
Lighter Than the Marrow on Nearly All
Kinds Of Roads - Broad Wheels Bsttss
On tho Farm-Cost No Grsatsr.
Elaborate tests Of the draft Of wide
and narrow tires, extending over .
period Of TX years, have recently been
completed BY the Missouri agricultural
experiment station at Columbia, writes
a correspondent Of the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. These tests have been made
on macadam. gravel and dirt roads in
all conditions, and also on the meadows
and plowed fields Of tho experimental
farm.
Contrary to public expectation, in
nearly all cases the draft was materially
lighter when tires 6 inches vide were
used, than with tires Of stantiN d width.
The load hauled was in all oases the
same, and the draft was most carefully
determined by means Of self record
ing dynamometer.
On maoadam streets, hard and
smooth. as an average Of all tests, the
difference of draft was In favor of the
9 inch tire. and the same draft required
to haul a ton load with narrow tires
over this street hauled more than ~
tons with the broad tires. On gravel
roads the results show that the draft re-
quired to haul 1000 pounds with mar
row tires hauled 2.el0 pounds on the
broad tires. =
On dirt roads, dry and hard and free
from ruts, the broad tires pulled more
than one-third lighter, since arcs
pounds could be. hauled on the broad
tires with the same effort required to
haul 1000 pounds on the narrow tires.
! On q dirt road cut into ruts by the mar
row tires in tho ordinary travel, with
hard surface, the results are in favor Of
the broad tire, after the second run,
even when the broad wheels are run
over the ruts made by the narrow tires.
On mud roads. spoEgy on tho surface

SENATORS BITTER
Sensational Debate Prectpt-
tated in Upper House.
MASON FORCES TIE DISCUSSION
Desires . Congression,l Invest cation Of
the Maino Disaster In Ordor to
Get the Truth.

WASHINGTON, FEB. 19.-A DEBATE
decided in its sensations, was unex.
pectedly preclpitated in the senate dur.
ing the day over the consideration OF
tho resolution of Mr.. Allen (Neb.;
directing the committee on naval at.
fairs to investigate the disaster to the
battleship Maine. An arrangement had
been made for the adoption Of the reso-
luton, with q minor amendment, with.
out debate. Mr.. Mason, (lils.), how.
ever, proposed substitute providing
Tor an investigation to be conducted by
q joint committee Of the two branches
Of congress. Upon this the Illinois
senator, disregarding an appeal not to
force q discussion at this time of SO
melancholy an affair, delivered. a
speech in which he said that the people
demanded the truth concerning the OK
plosion and declared that they would
not b. satisfied with the investigation
to be conducted by the officers Of tho
navy, who would
Virtually Try Their Own Case
and would cover up any blame that the
officials might show attached to them
He tiercely denounced the policy Of the
government IN dealing with the Cuban
question into which he went at length,
aud declared that the United States
had adopted the policy Of Spain in
putting everything of until tomorrow.
Sharp replies to MI. Mason's charges
were made by Mr.. Wolcott (Colo. and
MIR. Lodge (Mass.). Mr.. Wolcott de-
ciared that ''not q patriotic citizen in
this broad land has not the fullest and
most splendid and glorious confidence

ment and in the department Of tue

thought this was time when we

speech, defended the honor Of the navy

or load of 2,G88 pounds could be
drawn with the narrow tires as easily
AZ 1900 pounds on tho broad tires
When this same road had been wet to .
great depth by continued rains, and
the mud had become stiff and sticky,
90 that it would gather OH the wheels.
the difference was again largely in fa.
vor of tho narrow tires. In this case q
load of 5000 pounds was drawn with
the same draft on narrow tires as q
5000 pound load on the broad tires.
These two are the only conditions Of
the dirt road in which the narrow tires
showed to advantage-viz: When tho
surface is too wet, soft or sloppy to
compress under tho broad tires, and is
underlaid with a hard, dry substratum.
In the nature of the case this condition
Of road surface ia of short duration. II
tho rains cease, few hours of sun in
the spring, summer or fall will dry the
surface materially. or 60 that 1t will
compress and pack under the broad
tires, enabling given load to be drawn
over its surface with tho wide wheels
with much less draft than on tho mar
row ones. II moro rain falls, this SUBJ
stratum is softened, and the narrow
tires cut deeper, resulting in greatly
Increased draft. compared with tho
broad tires.
The second condition of dirt roads fa-
vorable to narrow tires is when the mud
is deep and stiff. and sticky enough to
gather on tho broad wheels. A careful
observation for the last two years has
shown stiff, poorly drained clay road
to be in this condition but u few times.
and then for but short while.
On meadows and pastures the results
have been striking]y in favor Of the
broad wheels. When the meadows are
soft, from 5000 to 1900 pounds may
DO hauled on the broad wheels with the
came draft as that required 10 haul
load of 1000 pounds on tho narrow
wheels. On stutble land and plowed
ground the results arc favorable to tho
broad wheels.
The experiments practically demon
strate that the Impression that Il g broad
wheels in the average condition Of road
will increase the draft is wrcng.
In round Dumb ers the sum ol $780,
600, 600 is paid out each year fer tho
maintenance Of our public roads outside
OF the cities. This estimate does not
include the cost Of permanent improve
ments. All Improvements must coma
from expenditures above this amount.
Il is we'll known that the narrow tired
vehicles are among the mcst destructive
agents known to the public highways.
These public roads may be maintained
Ut Q greatly reduced expense by substi-
tuting 6 inch tires for tho ~ inch tires

ing that they are US durable as the mar,

Last objection against the gradual adop..
tion Of the broad wheel on the farms,
