The value of wide tires in compact
ing and improving dirt roads is beyond |
question, nnder nearly ail conditions, |
and their usefulness in preserving the |
surface: and character of well-con-
}
structed highways is equally marke, |
There is |
says the L. A. W. Bulletin,
perhaps no easier and quicker method
of promoting road improvement in|
most ssotions of the country than by
securirig the general adoption of wide |
tires.

Of the Cambria County storm Stayed As-
sociation a! Johnstown.
The third annual banquet of the
Cambria county Storm Stayed associa-
ton was held at the Capitol hotel, Johns-
town, Satorday evening, February 26th,
Twenty-one were seated at the generous
‘spread prepared by Landiord Carpen-
ter which was very
much eéujoyed by
all, after which toasts were made by
all present. At the business meeting
it was decided to hold the Fourth an.
nnel bangnet in the city of Johnstown
the last Saturday in February, 1869
| Quite a namber of new members were
admitted to the association.
The following officers for the ensuing
| year were elected: RF. Creswell, Faq.
of Johnstown, president; W. 8 Kregar,
of Pittsburg, secretary; E J. Mower,
of Cherrytree treasurer; R. E. Creswell,

show that wagon tires six inches wide
are from 50 to 100 per cent. better for
all farm and draft purposes than the
‘narrow tires in ordinary nse. Hehad
noticed that water, at first following
only wagon tracks, often wore great
ditches and rendered fields useless, and
that cruntry roads were affected in the
same way. A series of experiments
was thereupon made on macadmn,
gravel and dirt roads, meadows and |
pastures, stubble lands and plougived |
i
lands, wet and dry. |
On macadam roads it was found that
2,482 pounds were hauled with broad |
tires with the same draft as 2.000
poundis with narrow tires. About the,
same advantage was found on gravel
roads, except when wet and sloppy on
top. On good dirt roads 2,530 pounds
on wide tires gave the same draft as
2,000 pounds with narrow ones. On ;
muddy clay roads, drying on top, or’
dry on top and spongy underneath,
3,200 pounds on wide tires were equal
to 2,000 pounds on narrow ones. As
this sort of road improves, the diffor-
ence hetween the tires diminishes, bat
remains about 25 per cent. in favor of
the wide ones when the road is bard
and good.
If, however, the mud becomes soft
and very deep, the advantages of the
wide tire decrease until the mud sd-
heres to both sets of wheels ard,
finally, the narrow tires pull the
lighter. The other conditions in which :
narrow tires were found to pull easier
than wide ones were on such clay
roads as had a firm bottom, but were
muddy and sticky on the surface, or
when the road was covered with two,
or mare, inches of very dry loose dust.
On n muddy clay road, having rote
eight inches deep, a load on narrow
tires did not materially deepen Lhe
ruta, and the draft was 330 pouncia
- When the wide tire load was pulled
through the same track, the draft was
greatir--352 pounds; bat, the ruts:
were partially filled by the wide tires
on eah trial, and the draft of the broad
tires rapidly decreased, until, after six
trials, there was a surface smooth
enough for cycling.
On dry clay roads, having deep ruts
cut by narrow tires, the first run of the |
wide tires showed a greater draft than
‘that made by narrow tires in their own |
ruts; the second trial showed a lows
draft than that of the narrow tires, if
the ruts were not very deep, and even
when they measured eight inches in|
depth three trinls of the wide tires so
improved the roads as to entirely elim-
inate all disadvantages and to greatly
reduce the draft for all classes of
vehicles.
It vas found that narrow tires cut
ruta Nola varying from five to fourteen
inches deep on different sorts of on.
paved roads, while under the mune
conditions the ruts made by the wide
tires ‘were but from two to five inches,
On meadows, pastures, stubble lund, |
corn ground and ploughed ground
tests ‘were made when the surface was
dry, hard, firm, wet and soft, and the
difference in draft in favor of wide
tires varied from 17 to 120 per cent
In soft timothy sod the narrow fires
' cut fourteen inches deep, and the wide
tires but four inches. In blue grass
sod the narrow ruts were nine inches,
and the wide but three. In stabble
land the draft of the narrow tires was
758 pounds, and the broad tires |
but hiss.
The only conditions in which wide
tires are not a distinct advantage are
somewhat unusual and of compara-
tively short daration.

‘THE PATTON COURIER, MARCH 3, 1868.
Beaver Dams, Pa, Feb 25, 1808 — In
perusing the contents of last week's
COURIER, we noticed the item in Beaver
Dam’s letter, which refers directly to
the Beaver Dam’s and adjoining schools
Literary Society. In reply we wish to
state through the columns of the
CoURrren that a certain teacher, not a=
thousand miles from Beaver Dims
should pay a little more attention to
his own affairs and iabor within the
walls of his school room and not spend
his time writing letters to the new
papers of the surrounding country
vilifying his neighbors If the
teacher must, in accordance with is
nature, quarrel with his neighbors
even ap old soores through the columns
of the newspapers, we ask him not to
ase his fellow teachers a8 a soreen or A
breastwotk behind which he may stand
and hur] reflections at his neighbors
and in general even np old grudges
which should according to Divine law
have been forgotten year ago, and in
our estimation are as bad if not worse |
than holding educational gatherings
daring Lent. In conclusion we wish to
state that if people outside of cur dis 8
tricts wish to direct oar schools, which
we think concerns them not, we ask
them to at least visit our schools and
then make suggestions as they may
deem necessary for the “spiritoal wel
fare’ of the children of the
Dams and Cooper schools, and by so
doing they will give theirjown; sone
cience the satisfaction that for once |
their lives they had spoken ly on
fore the people and not, apbraided their
neighbors behind their backs or throogh
the ocolums of the newspapers.
