A IsOad-preScryer,

Thomas G. Carey, living near John
sons, Garrett county, was i'll town
Wednesday with il heavy load of lumber
on a broad tread wagon. Rather, there
We're three broad wheelS-all iron, one
narrow. He had bought, however, four
iron wheels, but had not yet time to
alter axle for the fourth. These wheels
weigh $50 pounds and are guaranteed
to carry from 10000 to $1,000 pounds.
The tread is inches wide. and Mr..
Carey's experience so far proves that he
can carry more weight with less draught
than with the narrow wheels, especially
over soft ground. Certainly the wheel
is a oad-preServer. In universal use the
making of IA rut is almost impossible.
The day will come when the Legislature
will provide for their Use only III the
States road laws. Meanwhile, all who
follow Mr.. Carey's good example will
have won the merit of having done a
good thing without waiting to be com
PEELED to do it.
