England as the second best, perhaps
the equal. The suggestion has been

stronger and, it seems, fly faster than
others. but it is hardly an analogy
that can be applied to the horse.

kinds for cattle. They are handy about

turn much shorter than can be done

have a steel wheel. wood axle and
coupling. This combination makes a
wagon that should last for Is or 30
years. OF course. low wheel wagon
is not the thing for heavy hauling on
bad roads. They are intended for
farm purposes only.
would advise anyone on the farm
to buy a low wagon with 4-inch tires
and 3A inch skein. Mine is ga
inch skein. but that is too heavy. This
kind of wagon will not cut up the
field. The draft is bound to be heavier
with a standard wagon.
