GOOD
ROADS
WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
Mscs.anIeaI Expert Of Kansas College,
Gives Farmers Advice Bsseo on
Practical Experience.

"Wide-tired wagons pull more easily
than narrow-tired ones 80 per cent Of
the times when they are used" says
F. A. Writ, instructor In farm me-
chanics in the Kansas state agricul-
tural college Professor Writ has just
completed experiments with wide and
with narrow.tired wagons.
Narrow tires pull harder than wide
tires, says Professor Writ, because the
narrow tire cuts deeper into the top
soil. The wide tire does not cut SO
deep and makes better track on roads
which are travelled while the ground is
soft. The wide tire packs the sur
face into a firm roadbed.
The experiments show that in corn
fields, plowed fields, field lanes, and
on pasture and on alfalfa land. the
draft Of the wide tire is considerably
less no matter what the condition Of
the soil.
In places where the mud is deep
and rolls up on the wheels, In ruts
made by narrow wheels, or in a sur
face of mud with a hard ground be-
meath, the narrow tire will pull more
easily. The narrow wheel fits the
rut, on the hard bottom Of which II
runs, and It collects less mud than
the wide tire.
Width of tire and height Of wheel
have a great effect upon the draft.
The usual width of the narrow tire
Is one and three-fourths inches, while
the wide tire is usually three or four
inches wide. The tires used In the
tests we're one and threefourths and
four inches wide respectively. Six
inch wheels are used only on low
trucks. One type of wheel rarely
found is the low wheel with narrow
tire. The draft with this is SO great
that a team can hardly pull a load
in soft field surfaces.
A farmer who can afford only one
wagon will find many factors enter
ing into his selection. II he has to
go on the roads in all kinds Of wealth
er, he will find the narrow tires bet
ter because they will collect less mud
when the roads are bad On the 9th

as strong as the foliage will stand
without injury. though well-made ar
senate of lead may be used in unnec-
essarily large quantities without injury
to most plants. The foliage OF some
fruits, as apple, pear. ounce and grape
is but rarely injured by effective
strengths Of paris green, and perhaps
never by well-made arsenate Of lead.
But the foliage of stone fruits, as
cherry, plum and peach, is on the
whole quite tender, and arsenicals
must be employed with caution.
The principal pests to be controlled
are cooling moth. the plum and apple
curculios. and the lesser apple worm,
which affect the fruit; and the bud
moth, canker worms and tent cater
pillars, which eat the foliage. While
these several pests exhibit individual
peculiarities in feeding, a system Of
spraying can be followed which will
greatly reduce them.

STONY SOILS AND ORCHARDS
Stones Do Not Necessarily Imply That
Land 10 Produetlve-Possess No
Peculiar Advantage.

A stony loan is often recommended
as a desirable fruit soil, but stones are
advantageous only in that they may
help soil that is too heavy or clayey
or too impervious. by making It some
what more pervious to water. The
fact that soil is stony does not neces-
sarily imply that 1t Is productive.
II apples are to be grown with prof
It. and competition is keen. the soil
must be productive or at least capable
of being brought to productive state
and SO maintained.
Much of the current belief that
stony soils possess some peculiar
advantage for orchard fruits has un-
doubtedly arisen from the success Of
many orchards located on stony hills.

sTANCHI0NS FOR THE CALVES
Youngster VIII Not Worry About
Nelshbor Getting Part Of His Mess
and viii Drink Slowly.

Harmful results are frequently
brought on in young calves by their
drinking milk too rapidly and too
much at a time.
Feeding small quantities and often.
which is the natural plan. is the way
to avoid trouble from this source.
Where several calves run together
stanchions for feeding may contribute
to less rapid drinking. for with
stanchions the calf is not worrying
about one OF it's neighbors getting part
OF his mess and is thus encouraged to
drink more slowly.
