r,n.r,ments with Broad Tires.

Tn order fully to test the relative
merits of broad and narrow tires, an
agricultural college in Missouri mas
been making some experiments with
the two. It has been demonstrated
that on reasonably good roads broad
tires have an advantage OF from SIX
teen to forty-fve per cent. over narrow
tires. In no case except where the
mud was soft and very deep did the
narrow tires prove more satisfactory.
According to these tests, the narrow
tire is desirable only when roads are
in state almost impossible, con-
dition of things which is fast disap-
pearing from thickly settled and we'll
managed districts. The experiments
were made with the same wagon, the
wheels being exchanged by merely
slipping them from the spindles, Inc
loaded wagon weighed 250 POUNDS
more with the wide tires than with the
narrow ones, making the weight OF
the vehicle when equipped with the
wide tires $3.50 pounds. On clean,
smooth road OF macadam the vide
tires required from sixteen to thirty
five per cent. less power than the
narrow ones. On gravel roads the
broad tires had forty-five per cent.
advantage; 'on loose gravel and dir
roads as we'll as on roads entirely o.
compacted soil, the gain was some
