The patient oxen arethe beasts of burden as far as the agri-cultural side of the Cuban freight isconcerned; they draw tremendousloads, and their slowness is made upIjy the certainty with which they pullthe big-wheeled wagons over the coun-try trails. implements drawn by oxen, but themodern plow is making its way in Cuba, and some of the more progressive agri-culturists are using the gang plow, Bracket Arch Cast Iron Car Wheel.This is a newly patented wheel inwhich there is no ring core nor doubleplate around the hub. This allows thewheel to be thoroughly inspected andmakes it absolutely safe, as any defectcould be readily detected. The largeamount of gray metal over the flangeadds additional strength and absorbs andconducts the heat from the flange causedby brakage and friction of flange againstthe rail. The arch plate and heavy filletover the flange prevents the develop-ment of seams in the throat of flange, so often met with in the double plate.

It would bea pity to see the palm trees disappear, wheels in general use under modemheavy cars. As these wheels take buthalf the time in pouring that the doubleplate wheel requires, it has better chill, the metal is more regular in grain andthe wheel is much stronger.
