Show THE UOAU tROUBLE Ii Look at our wagons The hind wheels cut exactly into the same ruts which the front wheels have made Why I looks to me thus Because the front wheels do not cut deep enough into the roadbed I would be all right had we steel rails on our roads but a dirt road cannot stand such usage 1 this can be prevented by a reasonable rea-sonable and proper construction of our wagons carriages carts etc A wagon should have wheels with wide tires The two front wheels should be set under un-der the wagon about thirty inches apart The hind wheels should remain in their places as they now are I this is done the hind wheels will roll down the outside ridges left by the front wheels and both front and hind wheels will cover the tracks made by the hoofs of the horses and instead oC cutting the road to pieces smooth the same The front wheels might be even I ten inches wide and the hind wheels twelve inches I is claimed by some that such a wagon will draw hard but experience shows quite the contrary The objection has been These wagons will look clumsy This is a matter of fashion and when people are accustomed to them they will wi think on picturing to themselves the wagons of other days What odd wagons they used to have A few years ago when pneumatic tires for tres our bicycles were unknown to the world everybody admired the wheels as they then appeared What do peo I pie think now after the broad clumsy pneumatic tire has become universal1 I Why no one will ride one of those smalltired wheels of bygone days if I he can help HF L 1 > in New En gland Farmer |
