WIdc-TIred IWa^on Wlieels. — Elabo- 

 rate tests of the draft of wide and narrow- 

 tired wagons have .iust been completed by 

 the Mlst^ourl Agricultural College Experi- 

 Djent Station, Columbia, extending over a 

 period of a year and a half. These tests 

 have been made on macadam, gravel and dirt 

 roads in all conditions, and also on the mead- 

 ows and plowed fields of the experimental 

 larm. Contrary to public expectation. In 

 nearly all eases draft was materially lighter 

 when tires six inches wide were used, than 

 wiih liresof standard width. The load hauled 

 "Was In all cases the same, and the draft ^as 

 most carefully determined by me -ns of self- 

 recordliigdynamometer. The beaefleill^flfect 

 of the wide tire on dirt roads is strikingly 

 shown in some recent tests at the station. A 

 clay road, badly cut into ruts by the narrow 

 tires, was selected for the test, as presenting 

 conditions least favorable to the broad tire. 

 A uuinber of tests of the draft of the narrow 

 tire were made in these open ruts, and imme- 

 diat-'ly followed by the broad tires running 

 in the same ruts. The first run of the broad 

 tires over the narrow ruts was accompanied 

 by an increast diaft; the second by a draft 

 materially less than the original narrow tire, 

 third by a still greater decline, and in the 

 lourih trip the rut was practically obliterated 

 and filled. In anothertrlal, when a clay road 

 was so badly cut Into ruts as to be almost im- 

 passable for light vehicles and pleasure car- 

 riages, after running the six Inch tires over 

 this road 12 times tue ruts were completely 

 filled, and a first-class b. cycle path made.—

 ter, yet the surest sale is on the be.st. The 

 supply continues e(iual to the demand, but 

 the fancy grades are not in as good supply as 

 the low and medium, which goes to prove that 

 the fancy sells best— and the values better 



Buffalo, N, Y., Mar. 11.— There is a good 

 demand for strictly fancy 1-pound comb, at 

 10 to 1 Ic; other grades, however, range from

Reasonable success seems to have fol- 

 lowed the efforts of the management of 

 the Nickel Plate Eoad to make it popu- 

 lar as a passenger line for travel East. 

 It is regarded as a favorite by many in 

 making the .iourney from Chicago to 

 Eastero points. 



Patrons of that Hue will be gratified 

 to learn that arrangements have been 

 made, effective Sunday, March 0, for all 

 passenger trains of the Nickel Plate 

 Road to arrive at and depart from the 

 Van Buren St. Station in Chicago. 



The many advantages afforded by this 

 Great Union Depot, located in the heart 

 of the business portion of Chicago, and 

 the continued advantage afforded by 

 lower rates than over other lines, having 

 three Express Trains daily, with through 

 Sleeping Cars to New York and Boston, 

 and the advantage of superior Dining 

 Car Service, when all considered, should 

 show increast travel over the Nickel 

 Plate Road. (8) 11A2
