The news that the Midland Railway
of England has placed orders for
twenty locomotives with American
firms is interesting for more than one
reason, says the Dry Goods Econo-
mist. 1t shows that this country is q
good place to buy such machinery,
and, if it be true, as stated, that thu
engines ordered are of tho American
type. the inference is that John Bull
is coming out of his conservatism and
beginning to admit that American in
novations are not so unreasonable
after all. The reasons given for the
purchase of the engines-that the

GOOD ROADS NOTES,


While wide tires are gradually
growing in favor on farm wagons, still
they are not being adopted as fast rs
they should be for the best interests
of the farmer and the good Of the
roads. About this season of the year
the road question always comes up,
md with it should be discussed the
tire question. All are willing to adj
NIT no doubt that narrow tires on our
heavy wagons are among the most
destructive road agents wo have.
There seems to be q strong impress
sion among farmers that wide tires
increase the draft and are harder on
teams than narrow ones. A number
of tests recently made before the
Missouri State Roads Improvement
Association show that for many roads
the wide tires draw easier than the
narrow ones, the loads remaining the
same. The test was made in this
way:
4 set of six-inch tired wheels OF
Same height as the one and three
ousrter-inoh tired wheels bought with
the wagon had been provided so that
they hauled the same wagon with the
same load over exactly similar roads,
measuring the draft by means OF a
new self-racordins dynamnn ater
which had been carefully tested for
accuracy. The road on which these
trials were made was almost level and
somewhat frmer at the surface than
corn land in the spring when dry
enough to pillow. Unfortunately a
stratum Of frozen earth about four
inches from the surface prevented
narrow tires from cutting deep rut.
The layer of frozen earth also explains
the decrease in draft of the narrow
tires when run for number of times
in their own track.

SUMMARY OF REsUl

L
Average. 1894 Average. ..2i6 A
Difference in favor of broad tires,
ffty-three pounds OF "a. 6 per cent. A
good horse is estimated to exert pull
of $50 pounds for ten hours per day,
moving at the rate of two aud one
half miles per hour. This means that
there was saving by using the broad
tires of slightly more than one-third
of q horse. Or that the same team,
exerfing the same pull or doing the
same work, would have drawn one
fourth larger load. In other words,
the 2350,pounds load pulled as heavy
as load of 3037 pounds should over
the same road in the same wagon if
six-inch tires were used. 1t is not
maintained that this large advantage
for wide tires would be found in all
conditions OF roads. The experiment
station is arranging to mako . a
thorough test of this matter in tho
fields, meadows, muddy roads, and
gravel and macadamized roads, and
will publish, tho results in an illus
lrt Ne9V -QuAlSnl1 LII lttsS <ifoor1DuuIOl1, III
the earliest moment possible. The
most important advantage shown in
the test ALREADY made for the wide
tires was the'ease with which the load
was. started. Tt required 500 pounds
of draft to start the load with narrow
tires, and onlys230 pounds with wide
tires. Here issa saving of more than
half the draft. 1t is often compare
lively easy;to haul the load after it ie
started. and il, by using the wide
tires, the force necessary to give mo-
ton to theWegon is reduced more
than half, it is am important matter. :
