To test the wide tire theory, they
built several wagons having 4-incil
tires on the front wheels aud 6.inch
tires on the rear wheels, and with the
rear sxles longer than the others, so
that the track of the rear wheels
would just lap outside Of those made
by the others The result Of the use
ofthese wagons was to produce a
hard, smooth, compact eurface, and
the road having been 80 filled so as to
raise the mildle, or Grown" 1t, il
thoroughly drained at the surface,
and ALWAYS Fl for use with the heav-
iest loads. Loedso of eight tons are
frequently hauled over them, and in
tead Of tending to cut up the road,
serve to roll il harder and harder.
The superintendent reports, too, that
the improved condition of the road
has reduced the cost of hauling the
stone from 80 cents per ton to 60
cents, or Is per cent.
II has also been proven by expert
ments upon number OF occasions
that the use of wide tires considera-
bly, reduces the amount of power re-
quired to move loaded wagons. One
Of these tests was made by the officers
of the United States Department of
Agriculture at the Atlanta Exposition
in 1895 Two wagons, both weigh
ing alike with their loads, were drawn
over wet piece of clay road, one
wagon having 2-inch tires, the other
4-inch tires aud with the rear wheels
farther apart than the front wheels,
so as to not run in the same track. II
was found by the use of the tracome-
ter, an instrument made to register
the power exerted, that twice as much
pull was required to haul the pinch
tired wagon as was required for the
other. That part OF the road travers-
ed by the narrow tired wagon was
cut and rulted to depth of several
idctes, while the tires of the other
wagon had rolled the road into a
hard smooth surface.

IMPORTANCE OF
Wide Tires.
-
Farmers, Keep Your Roads in
Good Condition
BY USING THE WIDE TIRE.
Marrow Tifes Are Road Destroy
srs, While Wide Tires Are
Road Makers.
BY USING THE WIDE TIRE.

Ii is frequently claimed that roads
in the United States, instead of get
ting better are constantly getting
worse, aud when the reason is asked
the explanation is made that the dam
age done to existing highways by the
use OF narrow tires is far greater than
the Improvement made by the semi
annual effort OF fixing the roads.
Without entering into a-discussion OF
this claim, there is no denying that a
heavily loaded wagon with narrow
tires leaves it's track on the highway,
and the depth of these tracks depends
upon the character of material Of
which the road Is built, the width OF
the tires aud the weight of the load.
Whenever loaded wagon becomes
stuck, IL is due to the fact that the
road is too soft, and the tires too mar
row for the load on the wheels
Water aud narrow tires. are the two
causes which contribute to ruin the
best roads. They aid each other in
the work of destruction. The rut
formed by passing wagon forms a
trough for he rain, which, instead of
running off to the side, as it would do
on hard, smooth surface. sinks into
the ground Tho next wagon, find
ing the ground sotteusd, digs it,
wheels deeper into the surface, and
so the destruction and decentralization
continues. This suggests one Of the
strongest Arguments in favor of the
use of wide tires. Wide tires are
no al makers, narrow tires are road
deslroyers Wide tires roll and har.
den the road surface, and by their use
every wagon can be turned into an
effective road roller. Every wagon
which to-day helps TO cut up the
roads could be utilized for their i'm
provemont, for nothing 50 much tend,
to the making OF good roads as con.
tinual rolling OF the surface.
