that that the doorbell rang. and when

Wide Tires Build
Up Country Roads

Wide tires build up roads ana save
horse labor, according to the depart
ment of agricultural engineering at
the Nebraska University. They
have the same effect upon a country
road as a roller on a plowed field.
On the other hand. the narrow tire
cuts up a road like a disk. IL mas
been found by actual test in this de-
partment that the wide tired wagon
pulls easier in nearly all cases than
the narrow tired wagon. In deep
mud on a country road, the wide
tired wagon pulls 6.2 per cent easier.
On a country road with a thin sur
face of mud or deep dust, however,
the narrow tires pull 4.9 per cent
easier. In a cornfield the wide tires
pull 3O.5 per cent easier, in a dry
alfalfa field III per cent easier, and
on adry country road 1912 per cent
easier.
