BROAD WAGON TIRES.

Broad tires are better than narrow ones
in every respect. On smooth road a
broad-tired wagon will run just as easy
as a narrow-tired enc, and on roads lit
tie muddy great deal easier. The mar
row tire will make rut more or less
deep, while the broad tire will flatten out
and pack the ground, and so make bet
ter road.
Out in the fields, also, the broad tire is
superior. A narrow one cuts down deep
if the ground is soft, and leaves a rut to
run over with the mower or binder. 1t
also cuts deep enough to kill out whatever
grain may be planted in the field. The
tire, while cutting in some, does not go
nearly so deep, and the grain may be
simply mashed and is likely to rise up
and grow.
In countries where there is great deal
of snow the people wear wide snowshOes
to keep them from sinking into the snow.
The same principle may be applied to
wagon tires. The wider they are the less
they will sink. OF course, tires must not
be too wide. If they are they are liable
| to be heavy and clumsy. From four to
six inches is wide enough for general
purposes.
So, summing up, we have this: Wide
tires are better than narrow ones because
they keep the roads in better condition
do not cut up the fields SO much, are not
so liable to kill out q crop, run just as
easy on smooth roads and a great deal
easier on bad ground.-Pierre VanSickle
! in Farmers Advocate.

Our Task in the Philippines.

Of the situation in the Philippines Ad-
miral Dewey is quoted as saying just be-
fore he left Manila for home:
The instruction is broken. There will
be no more hard battles and the new era
for the islands that was temporarily de-
layed by the risingiwill soon begin. Agui-
naldO and his generals must be captured
and then the very semblance of an insur-
rection will cease. Aguinaldo's name is
the real power among the natives. Wher-
ever we 90 it is always AguinaldO. The
officers Of the Tagalos, civil and military
tell us they have no power to treat fcl
peace until they hear from Aguinaldo.
Foreigners and natives testifying before
the peace commission all testify to the
same state of facts. Many of the island
provinces that were once warlike are
anxious for peace and will accept the
terms as soon as the Tagalor of Luzon
are whipped into line, but they dare not
treat with us as long as Aguinaldo has
the power to confscate property or pun
ish those who offend him. The end is not
far off if we push right after them. We
must concentrate our troops and vigor-
ously prosecute the campaign in Luzon,
That is our whole task. The southern
islands will quickly fall in line.
