—— ENB EEL “A¥ide snd Narrow Tires. : While wide tires are gradually growing in favor on farm wagons, still y are not being adopted as fast as #hould be for the best interests hie farmer and the good of the roads.

All are willing to al mit no doubt that narrow tires ou our heavy wagons are among the most : ive road agénts we lhisve. There seems to he a strong impres. | among farmers that wide tires jorease the draft and are harder on me than narrow ones. A number teats recently wade before the puri State Roads Improvement on show that for msuy roads ide tires draw easier than the arrow ones, the loads remainiog the sane; The test was made in this Cut of six-inch tired wheels of height as the one and three. narter.inch tired wheels bought with fie wagon had been provided so that they hauled the same wagon with the same load over exactly similar roads, . miessuring the draft Ly means of a slew self-resording dynamometer which had besn carefully tested for The road on which these trials were wade was almost level and ‘somewhat firmer ut the surface than oorn lsad in the spring when dry ‘epongh to plow. Unfortunately a stratum of frozen earth about fone inches from the surface prevented | narrow tires from enfting a deep rut. The layer of frozen earth also explains the decreasa in draft of the narrow ‘tires when ran for a number of times in their own track.
