Wide WAGON Tires.

AS to the desirability of the use OF
the wide tires there can be no ques-
ton. The most casual observation
will suffice to convince any one of the
damage which heavily laden wagon,

rounded, narrow tires, will produce on
any road. There Is also another, and
perhaps even greater advantage to be
gained by the use of the wide tires

When fowls have free range they
will thrive very well on one kinds OF
grain, such as corn, Kaffir corn Or
wheat, for they can pick up so much

make a balanced ration. But when

treatment which he claims Is very sim.
pie and efficient. This consists of thin

mixture, to which soap Is added TO
make it more adherent. The treatment
should be made about July rs, or at the
stage when the grapes have just about
reached their full size. If the fungi
eide is thoroughly applied at this time
no further trouble may be anticipated
from this disease.
