Wide Tiro Wagons. Maurice O. EMririgo in Southern Farm Magazine. Ono of the beat ways to prevent the formation of ruts and to ! keep earth roads in repair istby tiie use of wide tires.on all wagons carrying heavy, burdens. In most foroign countries the not only use the.four to six inch tires on i.iarkot wagons, but on many of the four-wheel freight wagons, in addition to wide tires, the rear nxb'S are made fourteen inches longer than the front ones, so that the hind wheels will not track and from ruts. Water and narrow tiros aid one another in destroy ing the roads, while on the other hand wide tires are road makers. They ! roll and harden the surface, and J every loaded wagon becomes, in ?fleet, a road roller. The difference between the action of a narrow tiro and a wide one is about the same as the dilTeronco tlfttw-Afn *1 I'rownni' mvl I1 frtmnni>. v.w .. .. . tho ono tears up and the other packs down. By using wide tiros on heavy wagons the cost of keeping roads in repair would >he greatly reduced The introduce tion in recent years of wide metal tires which can ho placed on the wheels of any narrow fir- ! ed vehicle at a nominal cost has removed a very serious objection to the proposed substitution of broad tires for tho narrow ones J now in use.
