Wide Tire Wagons.

One of the best ways to prevent
the formation of ruts and to keep
earth roads in repair is by the use
Of wide tires on all wagons carrying
heavy burdens. In most foreign
countries they not only use the four
to six inch tire on market wagons
but ON many of the four-wheel
freight wagons, in addition to wide
tires, the rear axels are made four:
teen inches longer than the front
ones, so that the hind wheels will
not track the front ruts. Water and
narrow tires aid one anotherin des-
troying the roads, while on the other
hand wide tires are road makers.
They roll and harden the surface,
and every loaded wagon becomes in
effect, road roller. The difference
between the action of narrow tire
and wide one is about the same as
the difference between crowbar and
a tamper; the one tears up ant
