TEST OF TIRES ON HIGHWAYS
Results Obtained by United States Of
flee of Public Roads After Pc
riod of Years.

In It's testing Of tires on country
roads during a period of several years
the United States office of public rL2Gs
has prepared the rSad prior to each
test by blowing, grading and rolling
thus, with further consideration Of
moisture and atmospheric variations,
giving conditions Is nearly identical as
possible for each Of the trips compared,
1t was found that the draft decreased
with increase of tire width to a GER
tain limit, beyond which it increased.
AS a result Of the experiments, it IS
recommended that for ordinary farm
work and general trucking, the stand
ard width of tire for a one-horse
wagon, with gross load of 1000 pounds,
should be two inches; light two-horse
wagon, $500 pounds, two and one
half inches; medium two-horSe wagon,
$500 pounds, three inches: standard
]two-horse wagon, $500 pounds, four
inches; heavy two-horse wagon, 1900

SUGGESTIONS ON GOOD ROADS
Special Thought Should Be Given by
Builders to Road Crossings to
Avoid Accidents.

While highway engineers, commits
sioners and others are planning good
roads and strong, durable bridges,
they ought to give special thought and
work to the road crossings and the
sewers or culverts placed at such cross
ings, says a writer in Farmers Review.
Such crossings are generally about
12 to 16 feet long, and it requires an
abrupt turn of q vehicle to take them
at right angle. These are danger
points on account Of the short turn
and narrow space to make the turn.
The remedy for such places is to
make eve or culvert as long as the
width of the road will permit, say not
less than 40 feet, and more if possible,
