There are too many narrow-tired
wagons used on farms and country
roads. The following tables compiled
from exhaustive experiments on roads
and farms prove the beneficial effects
of broad tires both in regard to the
draft Of wagon and rutting of the sur.
face. The narrow tires were one and
one-half inches wide and the broad
tires six inches wide. The load in
each case was 1000 pounds, including
weight of wagon.
I. Dirt Road
(a) Surface dry, free from ruts and
dust. Narrow tires required 1878
pounds to pull the load. Broad tires
required 104.S pounds to pull the load.
Difference in favor of broad tires, 1875
pounds or 81 per cent.
(b) Clay Road-Surface soft to
depth of three or four inches. Narrow
tire cut rut five or six inches deep.
Broad tires cut rut three and one-half
inches deep. Narrow tire required
340.1 pounds to draw load. Broad tire
required 1908 pounds to draw load.
Difference in favor of narrow tires,
1907 pounds, or 44.3 per cent.
2. Meadows
(a) Timothy sod, moist but firm.
Narrow tire cut rut three and one-half
inches deep. Broad tire cut rut one
quarter to one inch deep, doing
no perceptible damage. Narrow tire
required 4208 pounds to draw the
load. Broad tire required 3O5 pounds
to draw the load. Difference in favor
of broad tire, 1858 pounds, or 50 per
cent.
(b) Grass and stubble three inches
high, ground soft and spongy. Narrow

eral joints have become exposed. The
eggs hatch, and the young grubs, form
ing cells, feed in the walls of the stem,
reaching maximum growth by the time
the straw becomes fully hardened and
ripe.
The effects of this insect are seen in
the abnormal growths of the straw.
The straw becomes bent or twisted;
there are enlargements and hardening
Of the stem, causing it to break over.
The affected stalks either fail to head
out or bear aborted heads. In thresh-
Ing, the hardened portions of the stem
break up into pieces that go into the
grain.
For the control of the wheat joint
worm, burning the stubble is general
ly considered the most effective. How
ever, this is not always PR 3ticable on
account of young clover. In this case
1t might be we'll to rake the stubble
field and burn the loosened stubble
that is thus gathered UP. The straw
should be worked through the stable
and into the manure, which should be
piled up and allowed to heat and de,

loss of nitrogen by this method OF
handling manure, and it is not gen
orally good practice, in this case II
may be advisable. The Ohio expert

sion the dynamo which was to have
furnished current for the electrocu-
tion of Charles Justice, Greene county
murderer.
The damage Warden Jones said he
thought would not exceed $4,000.
Chief expense to the state probably
will be incurred by the necessary pur-
chase of REV laundry machinery. That
which went through the fire was an
otiquated and of little value. Damage
to the building consisted of destruc-
tion to interior woodwork and the
roof Clothes which burned were prin-
cipaliy underwear and the uniform
shirts of members of the prison band
and choir. Some hospital bed fur
nishings went up in smoke.
The alarm was sounded as the last
company of prisoners had left the din
ing hall and been locked up for the
night. To prevent possible escape
during the excitement, a double guard
was placed on the walls and extra
men patrolled the grounds inside the
stone fence.
That the remaining part of the
building, which is three stories high,
may be razed and another erected in
its place is probability. The laun-
dry building burned with considerable
damage 20 years ago.

It is said that a drowning men will grasp at a straw; so will a man in jail; not only that. but he will grasp any, thing that comes his way, in the hope to regain his freedom.
 A lew days ago a copper colored ne- gro of small structure named Sy Sey- mour, was incarcerated in the city bas- tile on charge of engraving the anatomy or compatriot named Hudson, on or near the fifth rib While Sy was in jail he decided to employ counsel in his be- half. so he proceeded to get in touch With the legal fraternity. Believing In the old adage that fin numbers there is is strength" he hired every lawyer he could get In touch with, and as a conse- quence, when brought to trial yesterday he had an array of legal talent equal unto that of 'hog case,' where both litigants have an abundance of money.
 With true professional courtesy each and every attorney offered to withdraw from the case. acceding to the others s special talents to fit the case at bar. The judge insisted on an immediate trial, so after the Alrhonse and Gaston act had reached It's third reading the trial of the case proceeded.
 The first witness was Hudson, the man who was cut. He testified that not withstanding the fact that daylight was let in between his fifth and sikh ribs, that hc nearly bled to death before the ambulance arrived, and that II stitches were taker in his side, all of which resulted from coming in contact with knife held in the strong right hand

During the meeting one was telling about spending last summer in New York city. It was hot and not a good time for being in motion. They way he. kept cool was by frequent bathing. He did not know that he had grown so old, and his joints were so stiffened that he could not swim, and before he knew it he was in deep water The first thing that attracted his attention was girl with one of her arms around him; it frightened him. Looking into his face she said, Don't be alarmed, old partner; I've got you hard and fast; you know that such experiences as this add to the pleasure of living"
 At this gathering today as usual war times and men were discussed. One of Jackson's soldiers asked, what federal officer do you think was the most cruel during the war? The answer come quickly, Phil Sheridan. This man left tho great and beautiful Shenandoah valley in ashes with no food for the women and children-and so far as we know he never expressed word of e. rret for his inhumanity. Most of the federal officers were hard fighters, but they were humane men, generous and brave.

MANY LADIES CO ID CITY MARKET  How Prices Compare With Those of Other
 Dealers

There were more automobiles occupied by fashionable ladies of Birmingham at the city regulated market place yesterday morning to buy their vegetables and gar den products than there were farm wagons stationed In the stalls. The fact that well known ladies of Birmingham came down town in a bitter north wind has encouraged Commissioner James Weatherly and other friends of the city market more than any other feature out side of the interest of the farmers them selves.
 Sales were made with great speed yes- terday and by s;SO o'clock. a half hour before the legal closing time, the wagons had about sold their loads. Those who did not sell out to retail purchasers sold to the peddlers stationed across the avenue at slightly reduced retail prices.
 Prices did not drop lower than Tuesday. Prices compared were something like this City Market. Other Dealers. Turnips. 5c bunch. Sc bunch Tomatoes, 200 dozen. BOG dozen. Collards. 5c bunch. Gc bunch. Onions, 5c bunch. Sc bunch. Chickens, 1Sc ID. 20 and 22c pound. Sweet potatoes, S5c bu. s1 to Sl.25 bu. Eggs, 23c doz 35c for fresh, Soc for
 storage.
 Prices on variety of vegetables and other necessities were somewhat limited yesterday on account of the big day held on Tuesday, when practically every pro- duce grower attended the opening. They sold out and could not get back into the city with large supply for the sales yesterday However. 1t is said the grow CTS will be on hand this morning and that an extensive variety of home grown stuff will be displayed.
 The home grown sellers are labelled for the benefit of buyers and are located on the north side of the avenue. The wagons are uncovered and easily accessible.
