USE OF WIDE TIRES.
mater Thns iS Of Vital Interest TO
the Preservation of Roads In
Good Condition..

One IT the greatest aids to better
roads is the use of wider tires on
the wagons. No matter what kind
of material is used for the construc.
ton of the rond the width uf the
tire is of vital Importance II is also
vastly to the interest Of almost every
farmer from an economic standpoint
to have al least Ii three or four inch
tire in place ~ the old fashioned narrow
tire The loads will draw more easily
about his fields and on almost all
kinds of roads. The wide tired
wheels are much stronger and more
lasting and present much less trouble
in the shape of loose tires. In many
sections their economic advantages
are being recognized and they arc
rapidly replacing the narrow tire.
This transition should be FASTENED
ms rapidly ms possible. All new pur.
chnses should he of the wide sort.
So thoroughly has the relation Of
wide tires 10 good roads been rccng.
ni2ed abroad that laws have been
passed regulating the width Of tires.
In Germany four-inch tires are re-.
quircd. In France traffic tires must
be from three to ten inches wide. az
cording to the weight Of the load,
and the front axle must br shorter
than the rear axle, to prevent track.
