WIDE TIRES ON HIGHWAYS.
Passage of Laws to Compel Their Use
Dependent o. Public
Opinion.

A c-orresondent of the Prairie Farm.
er propounds the following question:
Can you tell me any eason why a
law should not be passed compelling
all persons hauling heavy loads over
our highways to use wide-tired wag-
ons?" And that journal W as
follows:
Undoubtedly such a law would be
a good thing for the roads and the
comfort of the people who use them.
Enactment of such a law is another
thing, and will only come when a con
| siderable number of people demand its
passage.
In many states legislation has been
enacted providing credit on road work
where the owner of a farm uses a
wide-tired wagon, but the results in
cases seem TO be meager, II any at all.
Unquestionably a narrow-tired wag-
on, bearing a heavy load, does a
damage to every road it passes over.
II helps the formation of ruts and
these let in water and frost. Public
roads are public property, but they
should not be injured by, every indi-
vidual who processes a preference for
the narrow-tired wagon.

ROADS IN ONTARIO.
what Has Been Accomplished in One
Progressive Province in
Caraoa.

Consul Seyfcrt Of Stratford furnishes
a report on road building in the pro
inee OF Ontario which should attract
tho attention of persons in this coun.
try interested in that subject. He
writes:
1he province Of Ontario has c 10000
miles of country roads maintained by
township and county councils. Since
the inauguration movement for bet.
ter reads there is a radical improve.
ment in the condition of the roads
me old way Of read improvement by
statute labor, which has existed for
nearly a century, and did much dur.
ing pioneer days TO open highways.
has beca largely superseded by a more
modern system of a direct-tax rate
and closer supervision.
Township control is universal IL
road construction, while ct the same
time county councils have undertaken
the management of a system of main
roads within the county. The work
OF the county council is devoted
chiefly to legislative functions. and
the actual oversight of work on the
ground is left to road foremen or over.
cceTs. The county system is aided
by the provincial government to the
extent Of one-third OF the entire cost
of construction. During the years
1904 1924 miles of main roads were
i~mp~c~cd. at en- expenditure of half
a million dollars through provincial
aid.
Modern road machinery, such as
grading machines, stone crushers,
road rollers. gravel wagons and scrap
ers are in general use throughout the
province. Natural gravel beds are
numerous, and care is taken to select
the best gravel in the pit, which. un.
der the modern system. is placed on
the roads after the earth is CONSOLE
dated with the roller. Bridges are
now all being built with steel super
structures, concrete abutments and
concrete floors.
The matter of drainage is given the
greatest attention. Where under
drainage is needed tile are used with
frequent outlets that VIII lead TO nat
ural w-ater-courses. Breakers, once
SO commo for carrying the water
from one side of the road to the other
are entirely abandoned. Concrete
%culverts have taken their place, and
on the steep hills where such surface
drainage is necessary. the roadbet
with its high center crown is al
smooth as on the level.
In the older parts of Ontario roat
construction has long since passed thu
early temporary stage, and all i'm
provements are now made with a view
of durability. Perth county, of which
Stratford is the county seat, has 1,3o.
miles of country highways; of thi
672 miles are graveled, and are as fin
permanent roads as can be found ii
any country.

Tie stacking should be done with

Better stacks can be made with the
fork, and quicker work can be done;
besides it is much easier

The University of Notre Dame, It ap-

duplicated in any other school,. 1t is one

settled traditions reaching back sixty-four
years, with a distinguished staff OF pro-

paternal kind-strong without being OPP
pressive; and as 1t embraces in it's scope
the grammar school, high school and col
lege work. its appeal is as broad as 1t is
potent. Perhaps the most remarkable
feature of the famous Indiana University,
however. is the fact that 1t has arrived at

Tiuers Tap Rubber Trees.

Near Perak in the Malay peninsula
is a prosperous rubber factory run by
a long-headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
is made it is necessary to puncture
the bark of the trees. Laborers are
scarce in that district, but there are
an abundance of tigers. There were
not enough men to tap" the trees, but
the Scotch proprietor hit on a bril-
liant idea. He knew that tigers are
fond of valerian, so he gave orders
that all the trees should be rubbed
with this stuff. The tigers came up
and caressingly scratched the bark In
the most approved herringbone fash
ion, after which all that the coolies
had to do was to walk around once a
day and collect the rubber.

Reference to the rear end of the

attached in the heavy iron socket
bolted to the lower part of the rack.
The end supports are made by TAX
ing two hardwood 2x4's from Ga to 7
feet long to form the main portion
of the frame work. Two small 2x2's
are used on either side and acros all
four boards of a convenient width are
set in and nailed. The front is made
similar to the rear, though not quite
so high. Where farmers pitch on en-
tirely, these end pieces will be found
to be very convenient for any sort
of hay and grain.
