that the use of wide tires onsiaer*
ably reduces the amount of power
required to move loaded wagons.
One of these tests "as r.ade v he
TJ. S. department of ericulturr^ ,t
the Atlanta exposition in 1895. ro
wagons, both weighing .like "ith
their loads, were drawn over a '.vet
piece of ''lay road, one ?agon lav-
■ ing 2 inch tires, the other with 4-
inch tires and with the rear wheels
farther apart than the ront "-heels,
so as not to run in the same track.
It was found by the use of he tac-
tometer. an instrument made o ag-
ister the power xerted, hat wire is
much pull was required to haul he
2-inch tired wagon as was reqirod
for the other. That part of the
road traversed by the otiHTOP Itwi
wagon was ut and rutted to a lepth
of several inches, while he irer. it
the other wagon had rolled the oau
into a smooth and hard surface.

I IMPORTANCE OF WIDE TIRES.
It s frccaer.ilv xiaimeo: hat oans
in the United States, instead of get-
ting better, re onstantly getting
MW>rre. and when the reason is asked,
the explanation is made that the
damage ione o listing highways
bv 1.. ise of narrow '.ires is far
greater he etni-effort it axing
he roans. Without entering into •-
discussion of this "Iaim, there is no
deriving that aeavilv loaded wagon
with narrow tires haves its racks on
the .ighwTtV, i. i'he depths of these
tracks depends apen 'he haracter
of material >f wha-h the road is

weight of the ,oad. -V hen ever a
loaded wagon becomes stock, it is due

ing the 'round oftened, digs ts

so the icmomliration and testnic-
tion continues. Tins aigcests one
of the trongest arguments .n favor

The 'Missouri Agricultural Ixper-
rnent Station made a series of csts
intending from January. 1896 o
September, 1897, in order to hor-
oughly and scientifically ascertain
the value of wide tires is compared
with narrow ones. Thev were nade
with two road wagons, one with fl-
inch tires, the other with tandard
' .-inch tires, both wagons if he
same weight, md each loaded " ith
:!,000 pounds. It was found hat the
power needed to draw t he narrow ired
wagon with its 2,000 pound ,oad in
a gravel road, would have pulled i
load of 2,472 pounds on the wide
tired wagon. The same power i
'quired to draw the narrow tires over
dirt ind gravel roads when hese
were try and hard, was ound suf-
ficient to draw a 2,530 pound load >n
, the wide tired wagen under the same
j conditions; and it was shown hat
these roads were teep with mud. but
partially dried at'he urfa^ -ith .
:ew hours' sun. the same power re-
quired to draw the 2,000 pound load
over them on the narrow tires, would
pull a load of 3,200 pounds on he
wide tires. Director Waters, >f lie-
Station- states that the conditions
