While some farmers have stuck to the uniform width others have dev- jated somewhat, and several inches difference will be found between sleigh yunners at the present time, with the result that the roads in the country during the. winter season have- been mecde a great deal more difficult for travel where the narrow sleighs have ‘been: in use-=‘The narrow sleigh has a tendency to eutthe roads and make © theny alniost unfit for travel by teams. ‘Where the wide sleighs are exclusive- ly it will be found the roads are bet- ter and prevents the crowding of hor- ses, which is now so common and ‘has caused the farmers a great deal of trouble and inconvenience during the ‘winter months, The Beef Trust. ‘The beef trust has given another lift to meat prices in the United ~ States, and a howl has gone up from ‘one end of the country to the other.
