adopted for Improvement If the mind,
the expansion Of the intellect, and the
promotion Of happiness. Good roads
would, among farmers especially, pro-
mote sOciability md create u desire for
self-improvement, both moral and intel
l%ectual.
Tho thousands of persons confined to
indoor work in factories, offices, stores,
ETC., need recreation and exercise. In
this they have comparatively little time
to indulge; but with good roads this
time could be used to the best advant-
age In bicycle, horseback, or buggy
riding.
Commercial Benefits.
Among the commercial advantages
afforded by good roads we note:
The rapidity, a and convenience Of
transportation ut small expense.
The opportunity afforded those re-
mote from commercial points to take adj
vantage Of the market without great loss
Of time.
Tho possibility of conveying a great
weight with a comparatively small
amount OF power.
Obviating the fluctuations of prices on
account Of a rush Of products t market
when the roads are good, to be followed
by q scarcity when the roads are bad,
as traffic is often delayed for weeks at
q time.
Good roads rank as one Of the fore
most causes Of increasing the value Of
property. The uninterrupted means Of
traf1c Is alone sufficient to aus an in
crease Of so per cent; incidentally
building good roads increases facilities
for drainage, which progressive farmers
will admit y Of itself Of almost incal-
culable beI6fit. Good roads would en-

important ind extensive industries.

miles OF smooth, hard and durable road.
Draining the lOntls.

The drainage of q road is a very i'm
portant part in it's construction. Both
sides should be perfectly drained, either
by bitches or tile title are the best), and
an occasional cross drain is beneficial.
This will prevent the softening of the
roadbed, thereby making the surface
Uneven. In order that no moisture
whatever may remain on the roadbed it
is essential that it should not be shaded.
All PARTICLES of water which would
otherwise remain would be evaporated
and leave Il perfectly dry surface.
To secure good roads needs only the
hearty co operation of all to whom they
would be beneficial. The State, being
the largest body polite that takes cog
nizance of such matters, should through
its Legislature formulate a plan for the
systematic improvement of the roads of
the State. which plan should require
the cooperation of the several counties,
each to pay a fair share of the burdens
imposed, according to the benefits de-
rived from the improvement.
In constructing a road u careful sur
vey of the tract, including the relative
levels of the different parts, is u neces-
sary preliminary in order to make a bed
nearly level. What is the beg. method
OF constructing a road is n much de-
bated question, but perhaps av better
road a be made than one constructed
of stone. In ease that stone s:ncnot be

Offspring of q Hoodoo Old Hen.

A prosperous old farmer in Lone Tree
valley has a hen that has set the
tongues of all the old women gossips
wagging. 1t is common barnyard hen
but it has, nevertheless, created a SEN
sation. Some months ago mule
stepped on the hens leg and broke it.
The farmer was in the barn at the time
and heard the hen squawk, and, upon
examination. found the mule standing
upon it's leg. He took his knife, cut
the broken leg of and turned her loose
and in due time she recovered and was
the iveliest kind of q one-legged hen.
After this accident, however, the hen
would not go near the barn, and, in
fact. had habit Of wandering of by
herself Some time ago it was discov-
cred that she had nest full of eggs in
q fence corner and was setting on them.
The eggs were coffee-colored and mot
tied. looking q good deal like turkey
eggs except that they were small The
other day seven Of the eggs Matched
and they were the COMMISSIONING
chickens that were ever Matched. In
stead of having feathers they were COW

sembled fur, sort of cross between

chickens had wattles that stood straight
up above the head, giving them very
