Recent experiments with wide and
narrow tires showed that on a clay
road, thoroughly wet, a wagon fitted
with two-inch tires produced ruts to
the depth of several inches, while a
wagon having tires four inches wide,
and with the front axle shorter than
the rear, so that the wheels did not
track, produced a hard, smooth surface
On the road, and required but half as
much pull as the narrow-tired wagon.
From four to eight times as much
force is required to start a load as to
keep it in motion.

From the prisoning walls of town
And the structures that beetle and

To the reaches of plain and the wind
and the rain
Where the glorious sun goes down
Come away come away, away,
Where the western grasses grow
And the boistcrous breezes blow
And the meadow larks wing as they
joyously sing,
And the herd boys are crying "0h,
ho."
Come away, come away, away
Where the cranes and the curlews
fly
And the wolves AMI the coyotes cry
And the garter snakes glide and the
prairie dogs hide
And the cattle go laundering by.
Come away, come away, away
Where the red man in days long ago
Went afar with his culver and bow.
But the red man has fed and the
sound Of his tread
The prairies may neyermore know.
Come away, come away, away
Where the buffalo grayepots lie
And tne sagcbrush Is dusty and DRY
Where the firewood burns and the

And the world Is a floor and a sky
