Coon ROADS Are there any farmers,
readers of this journal, who would pre-
fer, during four or FIVE months in the
year, roads in so wretched a condition
as to break their wagons, strain their
horses, and consume double the time
to travel over, with only half a road,
than to pay one or two dollars extra
road-tax year, to have all this
changed? We doubt that if this ques-
ton could be put individually to farm
ers in any part of the country, it
would be answered in the negative.
All want good roads. And yet they
live from year to year, uttering com
plants against the roads, without rails
ing finger toward making them bet
ter. They will not even walk to the
election to deposit their votes i'll favor
of candidate for Supervisor who
possesses some Judgment as to how a
road ought to be repaired; and who
possesses independence enough to keep
all the roads in the township or dis
trict in good passable condition, with
out regard to the few grumblers.
Some of the supervisors elected
know no more about mendng road
than they do about making watch,
They think that digging a little trench
at the sides and throwing the dirt out.
is all that is required or that they are
called upon to do. Road-mending,
however, is a science. Draining the
water from the travelled portion into
carefully formed cutters; stoning miry
places; bridging water-courses filling
up the ruts firmly whenever needed
pressing down the newly repaired road
with heavy roller, require some little
practical knowledge, and ought not to
be entrusted to persons who have no
other claim to the Office of Supervisor
than that they are needy, have nothing
to do, and wish some lazy employ
ment.
We are glad to see in some places
that this is being remedied- the prop
erpersons elected Supervisors, and the
roads repaired in excellent manner. A
supervisor, who will not keep tile roads
in the best condition, for fear of spend
ing little more money, and making
the tax higher, and as consequence
be turned out at the next election
should have the tables turned against
him, and be elected from Office foi
not doing so.-Ge'manto,en Telegraph

TREE planting. -"Haye you never

that the COW would sometimes live a
