WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have Same Effect on Country
Highway as Roller on Flelavv
Also Pull Easier.

Wide tires build up reads and save
horse labor. They have the same eff
feet upon a country road as roller on
q plowed field. On the other hand, the
narrow tire cuts up q road like disk.
II has been found by actual test in this
matter that the wtde-tired wagon
pulls easier in nearly all cases than
the narrow-tircd wagon. In deep mud
OH a country road the wide-tired wag-
on pulls c. per cent easier. On the
country road with thin surface of
,etp! or deep dust, however, the mar
Fow tires pull 40 per cent easier. In
4 cornfeld the wide tires pull 30.5 per
cent easier, in a dry alfalfa field l7.7
per cent easier, and on dry country
x0ad 1O.2 per cent easier.

IMPROVING THE BAD SPOTS
Certain Small Ruts That Are Usually
Wet and Soft Determine Load
Farmer Can Carry.

The worst holes in the road always
market. No stretch of roadway is uni
formly good, because every road has
certain small spots that are usually
soft and wet. These spots cause more
trouble than the rest of the road COM
bined. How these spots are to be i'm
proved depends on the character Of
the soil, and the nature of the cOun-
try. Many such spots owe their char
acter to q soft subsoil, due to springs.
Before these roads can be permanent
ly improved they must be under
drained. If q tile is laid in these
places there will usually be no trouble
in the future. The, surface of the road
should then be filled with dirt and
crowned, so any surface water may
run off. If this is done there will be
no trouble from subsurface water.
Many rOadways that are closed in
with shade trees are bad. If goodly
portion of the scrub timber along these
roads be removed, the ground will dry
out and no trouble result. If the char
acter of the soil is soft and pliable, so
that it will not pack and remain firm,
new material should be applied to the
surface. The best and cheapest mate
rial for improving roads is gravel.
Where gravel beds are accessible a
days work with team and wagon
will improve any roadbed permanent
ly. If the soil is very sandy an S-inch
application of clay to the surface will
effect wonders. The road patrol should
spend a considerable portion of its
time in remedying the bad spots in the
road.

Sharp Practices Cannot Endure.

For eight years we have been distribut-

in them is much stronger now than when

The Federal Explosive Law.

The Federal Expl 'slves Act pro
h,b,'s the mAnutacture, sale, pur-
ch.se and possession of all exPlo-
sves and their ingredients, i'll time
of var. wi hout a Ii, ense. In other
words, the dealer Must keep an Item
lied record showing the name and
address of purchaser, his license
number, kind and quantity of explo-
s;ves purchased. aud purpose for
which 1t is to be used. This also
compels practically every drug
store 10 the United States to have a
license permitting them to have IN
possession and sell explosives lngre-
dients, and the buyer must have a
license when purchasing these ingre-
dients in quantities of an ouce or
more, and the dealer must keep the
same record as the party who sells
dynamite. These ingredients are:
Bichromates, CELEBRATES, Chromates,
Nitrates, Nitric Acid, Perchlorates,
Perborates, Permanganates, Perox-
ides and Phosphorus, in their vari-
Gus forms.
This law will be rigidly enforced
IN the future; 1t having been in effect
since November IS, 19I7,and every
dealer has had time to familiarlze
himself with the law and all its de-
tails, and no excuse will be accepted
in the fu'ure. Violation Of this Act
carries penalty of S., 900 fine or
Imprisonment in a Federal prison,
or both. A careful and systematic
check is being made, by FEEDER al
Authorizes, of every dealer in the
State who handles explosives or in
gradients, regardless of location or
size. An inspector or some deputy
may drop in any dav, and dealers
should not allow themselves to be
caught unprepared.
There is a United States Explo-
sives Licensing Officer In every
County, and such dealers as have
not already procured their license
should take immediate steps to do
so.
This is considered one of the most
important war measures enacted by
our Congress, and dealers can not
be too careful in making sales of ex-
plosives or their ingredients.
