Positively nothing. In ito most cases the roads are the worse for It. Dirt is thrown up from the borders y of the highway into its center, where it lies in a big, soft drift.

"It is not to be supposed that all the wheels of all the wagons of the coun^e try could be changed at once from narat row to broad tires.

It would result In a complete change from the narrow to the wide tire on all vehicles Intended for carrying weight and make the ;E building and maintaining of good roads a practical proposition. "There would seem to be no good reare son why the wheels of one wagon tnanlt ufacturer could not be made to fit lp those of all wagons. If this were the case, when the date came for the abolishment of nil narrow tires the few t- who still had wagons furnished with that kind of tire would have only to Ln purchase a new set of wheels to comply. with the low. in "As to the benefits of the wide tire ?e over the narrow tire, discussion on that point Is needless. Every one who ie ever gave the subject a moment's T thought is convinced of the great superiorlty of the wide tire.

A friend who has a few acres of quite sandy soil on a ridge on his farui Which was poisoned with sorrel wrote us last year wanting to know how to get rid of the sorrel. He did it by plowing twlco during the drought of last August and September and now wants to get the land Into clover witli view to enriching It, as the soil is very thin and poor. This is a hard proposition nnless he is sure of abun' e Jant molstmfe, for an August sun will "d about cook clover, without ruin, under such conditions of soil. Instead of a clover for such a case we would try cowpeas, and If we had such a spot on our farm we would give up the idea of trying to make either a pasture or tillable land out of It and would set It out with Scotch and white pine or red cedars. It would then look nice and cease to bother, even If it could only be regarded aa a legacy for our grandchildren.
