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 ~ years, have recently been
completed by the Missouri agricultural
experiment station at Columbia, writes
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. t3s
Contrary to public expectation, in
nearly all cases the draft was materially
lighter when tires 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 dynamometer.
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 ton load with narrow tires
over this street hauled more than ~
tons with the broad tires. On gravel
roads the results show that the draft re-
quired to haul 2,000 pounds with mar
row tires hauled 2,610 pounds on the
broad tires.
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 with the same effort required to
haul 2,000 pounds on the narrow tires.
On dirt road cut into ruts BY the mar
row tires in the ordinary travel, with
hard surface, the results are in favor of
the broad tire, after the second run,
even when the broad wheels aYe run
over the ruts made by the narrow tires.
On mud roads, spongy on the surface
and soft underneath, the broad tires
drew one-half lighter than the narrow
tires. Three thousand apd sixty pounds
on the broad tires pulled as light al
2,000 pounds on the narrow. On the
same road, when soft and sticky on top
and firm underneath, the narrow tirea
pulled materially lighter, the differences
