kee had an easy time with the home team
in both games to-day. doing quick and
brilliant field work. The pitching by Bailey
was fine for five innings. but at the last
the visitors found him and pounded the
ball. Bierbauers work at second was a
mark for second basemen. In the second
game he turned up In nearly every line
and distinguished himself in all. Werden

The experiments practically demon
strate that the impression that the broad
wheels in the average condition Of road
will increase the draft is wrong. ~;
In round numbers the sum Of $780,
600, 900 is paid out each year for the
maintenance of our public roads outside
of the cities. This estimate does not
include the cost of permanent improve
ments. All improvements must come
from expenditures above this amount.
1t is well known that the narrow tired
vehicles are among the most destructive
agents known to the public highways.
These public roads may be maintained
at greatly reduced expense by substi-
tuting incl tires for the ~ inch tires
now used. Inasmuch as the cost of the
wide tired wheels is not greater than
that of those now in use, also consider
ing that they are as durable as the mar
row tire wheels, and the fact just dem
onstrated that the draft is not in
creased by their use, but in the average
case materially decreased, remove the
last objection against the gradual adop-
tion of the broad wheel Oh the farms,
the country roads and city streets. For
the farm and country roads the tires
should not be less than 6 inches wide.
For the city streets 4 inches should be
the minimum width.

WIDE TIRES TESTED.
PROVED SUPERIOR TO THOSE OF
STANDARD WIDTH.

The Draft of the Wide Tires Materially
Lighter Than the Narrow on Nearly All
Kinds of Roads - Broad Wheels Better
on the Farm-Cost No Greater.
Elaborate tests of the draft Of wide
and narrow tires, extending over a
period of 1I years, have recently been
completed by the Missouri agricultural
experiment station at Columbia, writes
a correspondent of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. These tests have been made
on macadam, gravel and dirt roads in
all conditions, and also on the meadows
and plowed fields of the experimental
farm.
Contrary to public expectation, in
nearly all cases the draft was materially
lighter when tires 6 inches wide were
used, than with tires of standard width.
The load hauled was in all cases the
same, and the draft was most carefully
determined by means Of self record
ing dyuamometer.
On macadam streets, hard and
smooth, as an average Of all tests, the
difference of draft was in favor of the
6 inch tire, and the same draft required
to haul a ton load with narrow tires
over this street hauled more than IA
tons with the broad tires. On gravel
roads the results show that the draft re-
quired to haul 2,OO0 pounds with mar
row tires hauled 2.610 pounds on the
broad tires.NH
On dirt roads, dry and hard and free
from ruts, the broad tires pulled more
than one-third lighter, since 2,766
pounds could be hauled on the broad
tires with8the same effort required tc
