WIDE TIREs AND GRAVEL ROADS.

1t does not require the wisdom of a
solomon to discover that wide tires on
the farm and road wagon are a benefit
to farmers in many ways
Broad tires lightens the draft by pre-
senting more surface to the road bed.
and they do not sink so easily into soft
ground for the same reason. Since
heavy loads can be hauled more readily
with wide tire wagon than with that
having narrow tires the owner of such
a conveyance is thus more merciful to
his horses. Tests and observations
have proved that wide tires are a bene-
fit to country roads while the narrow
tires are road destroyers. Wide tires
act as rollers. compacting the track
while narrow ones only cut up the
roadway and make travel upon it very
difficult in bad weather.
Wide tires cost but little more thar
narrow tires, hence there is no good ex-
cuse for the use OF the latter. Farm
ers are beginning to see the necessity
and economy in using the broad tires
and are slowly discarding wagons OF
narrow tires.
