In most `foreign countries `they not only use from four to six inch tires on market wagons. but on 5 many ofthe four-wheel wagons. in ad- "dition to the wide tires. the rear axles are made 14 inches longer than the :front ones. so that the hind wheels will not track and form ruts. Water `and narrow tires aid` one another in rdeetro -`ng the roads. while on the other and wide tires are roadmak- iers. They roll and harden. the our- =f'ace and every loaded wagon becomes. `in effect. a roadroller. 'l`he,di'ffer-* ;ence between the action of a nar- row tire-and a wide one is about the same as the difference between a crowbar and a tamper; the one tears up_ and_the other acks down. By `using wide tires. on eavy wagons the cost of keeping roads in repair would `be greatly reduced. The introduction in recent years. of wide. metal tires. which can be placed on be laced on `the wheels of any narrow- ired'-ve- hicle. at anomina cost, has. removed a very serious objection to the pro- osedsubstitution of broad tires for ` he narrow onesnow in use. The for- mation of deep ruts vhasbeen pre- vented on some of the toll roads of Pennsylvania by lengthening the .d~oubletr`eest on. wa one and hitching the horses so tha they -will walk directly in front. of_ the wheels. a de- vie`ejworthy_ of con`si.deration.'
