If the weather is unfavorable for curing when

The Width of Tires for Farm Wagons.

NAASSAS
In a farmers bulletin which the Department of
Agriculture now has in press some discussion is
made of the efficiency of different sizes of wheels
on farm wagons. This is a subject regarding
which there is considerable difference of opinion.
The Missouri Station which seems to have made
a speciality of various kinds of wagon and road
experiments, has put the matter to practical test
in a series of trials made on macadam, gravel
and dirt roads in all conditions, and on meadows,
pastures, cultivated fields, stubble land, etc. With
a net load of 1000 pounds in all cases, three sets
of wheels we're tested, as follows: 4
STANDARD front wheels, A inches; rear wheels !
SIS inches. Medium; front wheels, SO inches; rear
wheels, 40 inches. Low; front wheels, "A inches;
rear wheels, % inches"
For the same load, wagons with wheels of stan
dard height were found to draw lighter than those
with lower wheels.
The difference in favor of the standard wheels
was greater on road surfaces in bad condition
than on good road surfaces.
Low wheels cut deeper ruts than those of stan
dard height.
The vibration of the tongue is greater in wa
CONS with low wheels.
For most purposes wagons with low wheels are
more convenient than those of standard height.
Wagons with broad tires and wheels of standard
height are cumbersome and require much room in
turning.
Diminishing the height of wheel to from 80 to
10 inches front and 40 to A inches in the rear did
not increase the draft in as great proportion as it
increased the convenience of loading and unload
ing the ordinary farm freight.
Diminishing the height of wheels below 80 inch
es front and 40 inches rear increased the draft in
greater proportion than it gained in convenience.
On good roads, increasing the length of rear
axle, so that the front and rear wheels run in
different tracks to avoid cutting ruts. did not in
crease the draft.
On sod, cultivated ground, and bad roads, wa
CONS with the rear axle longer than the front
one draw heavier than one having both axles of
the same length.
Wagons with the rear axle longer than the
front one require wider gateways and more care
full drivers, and are, on the whole, very inconve-
nlent and not to be recommended for farm use.
The best form of farm wagon. is one with axles
OF equal length, broad tires, and wheels 80 to Sc
inches high In front and 40 to A inches behind
