secret of the maintaining of the coun-

A good dirt road well maintained Is
not an expensive proposition, writes
Eugene J. Hall of Oak Park, 111., in
Farmers* Review. Shortly after every
heavy rainfall it should be dragged
with a split-log drag. This will fill
ill of the ruts and depressions and
produce a smooth surface well round-
id up in the middle of the highway,

For example, last year the Crow-

made 26 bushels, the poorest of all.

What they have sold of
this year’s crop brought $1.00 at
threshing time. Eight thousand bush-
els unsold would bring now around

was raised tn Ohio and farmed in
Washington several years. He and
his wife spent last winter in Ohio.
She told mo a few days ago that the
climate hero was much better than
Ohio.
A man by the name of George Clark
threshed 75 bushels of oats, 46 bush-
els of barley and 35 bushels of wheat
to the acre. He had 16,000 bushels of
old oats as well as wheat and barley
in hfs granaries that have almost
doubled In price. He came from
Washington, where be sold a large
body of land around 8200 that he
bought around $3.00 per acre. He then
refers to a failure. A large company
in the eastern states, owning a large
farm near. Hussar pays Its manager
$3,000 a year. The farm has not
been a success. Probably the man-
ager’s fault Mr. Harris says condi-
tions are not as good as could Vs
wished for, but on the ending of the
wsr good crops, with war prices, will
certainly change conditions, and it
seems to me that the one who owns
land that will raise 100 bushels of
oats, 75 bushels of barley or 40 bush-
els of wheat la the one who "laughs

and solid by means of a heavy roller
or system of rollers. This will leave
a firm, solid roadbed which will not
be seriously Injured by heavy traffic.
This system of road building is
being followed In many parts of tha
West with splendid success. When
ruts and holes are formed in a road,
tho Jolt and Jar1 of the. wheel makes
them deeper and torque a pocket for
holding water from the first rainfall.
This softens the roadbed and deep
mud holes are soon formed, while if
there had been no ruts or depressions
there and the road had been well
rounded hp, the water would have run
off Into the ditches on either side, and
the surface of the road would be firm
and in perfect condition.
Another good thing worthy of care-
ful consideration In the building of our
good country roads Is that of the con-
struction of permanent and lasting
culverts. Culverts built of stone or
concrete cost more than wooden
bridges, but they will last a hundred
yean, and they will not rust or need
repainting every year, as iron truss
bridges do. In the end, they are the
most economical kind of viaducts.
The advent of the automobile and
Its employment by the more prosper-
ous class of farmers haB given a great
impetus ta road building, too; and
the time is coming when we will have
more and more good roads In tho
middle West.

Mrs. Faber, bitterly. "I’m sure I don’t

"Perhaps not much yet,” replied
Dorothy; “but then he hasn’t done

and you don’t like It."
