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

The Missouri experiment station has
made a large number CT experiments
during the past two years with the
draft of broad and narrow-tired wag.
ons. These tests have been made with
with siX-inch tires, on 1nacadanl streets,
gravel and dirt roads in Ill conditions:
on meadows, pasture, stubblc and
plowed fields both wet and dry. Bulle-
tin No. 80 of the station, by Director II.
J. 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, underaid 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 comparatively short
period of time, and this at seasons when
their use has naturally been reduced 10
the minimum. The tests on meadows,
pastures, stubble land, corn land and
plowed ground i'll every condition., from
dry, hard and firm to very wet and soft,
show, without single exception, Il
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 large pro-
portion of the products of the average
farm is sent to market in the form of
live stock OF 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 it
is considered, therefore, that the av-
erage draft of the broad tire is mater-
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-tired
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

On couches sown with thorns of care and

And why our lives are thickly hedged
about
with bars that put our Hottest plans to

F Sometime we shall know why
Our dearest hopes are swept so swift
away,
And why our brightest flowers hrst
decay:
why song is lost in sigh,
Why clasping fingers slip SO soon apart.

Until from deepest depths the tear-drops

And see how out of darkness light mas

And He who loves US so
Despite our willfulness and blind com
plant,
Will show US how His kind and calm re-
straint
Can mold a human soul into saint.
Sometime our eyes shall see
The silver lining in the darkest cloud,
While silvery echoes follow thunders loud;
Sometime our hearts shall be
Content forgetting all our restless mood.

The Science Should BE Taught In

The suggestion that the money de-
posted in postal savings banks, II es-
tablished, should be loaned for the pur-
pose OF building good roads has been
favorably received in most quarters;
but +. H. Ray, a pioneer good roads man
of Montana, thinks that public debtsa are
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
ly 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 we'll 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 few miles, at least, of per-
manent good roads with 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

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 agricultural college of
Rhode Island is accomplishing, viz,

no one was eligible to a road Office who

THE RATE WAR.
1t Is Expected That the War VIII Last
for some Time.


Locally there was very little new yes
terday in the passenger rate war ex-
cept that the Short Line and Rio
Grande Western agents received instruc-
tons to meet the S25 and so rates to
Missouri river points and the rate of
$31.50 and S26.50 to Chicago and ST.
Louis. No instructions We're received as
to rates to other points. but the local
Short Line office was competing yester-
day with other lines on all cut rates
without authority.
Mr.. Maze of the Union Pacific had re-
ceived no instructions from his road, al
though he had wired for information.
There is a meeting on in Chicago to-
day." he said, and ! look for settle
ment or a further cut as the result of
the meeting"
At the time the offices closed for the
day no word had been received from
Omaha or Chicago. 1t was expected
that another cut would be announced
yesterday by the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, but none was made. The
low rate to the East has not yet had
any effect on travel and is not likely to
stimulate il much, unless it should re-
main in force for some length of time.
The only persons who are in q posi-
ton to take advantage of it are those
who travel whether there is a cut II
rates or not. 1t seems TO be the gem
eral impression among local railroad
men, however, that the rate will 20
lower and that the war will continue
for some time, unless the American lines
back down, for 1t is not believed that
the Canadian Pacific Will do so.
