In all other respects the wheel is put together and tired, as is the wheel now in use. Any farm or planta- tion hand is fully competent to keep the wheel in order; and in case of the breaking of a spoke, the most ordinary skill is sufficient to repair the damage, without resort to the wheelwright. Among the advantages claimed for this wheel is its great economy in use, consisting in the durability of the hub, which will last for a genera- tion, the saving of two or three visits to the wheelwright, while each tire is wearing out, and his bills for resetting the tire, &c, as many times, and the consequent protection of the woodwork from the burning and the shrinking of the tire. In its construction the wheel presents far greater strength than the com- mon wheel, besides having the convenient application of mechanical power, as before set forth, to keep the wheel in constant order for use until the tire is worn too thin to be run any longer with safety. This wheel is applicable to every description of vehicle, both light and heavy, and will prove of great importance in warm climates, where the alter- nate wet and dry seasons are very destructive to ordinary wheels, the evils of which are without expense avoided by the above method.
