How to Make Some That Will Answer All
Practical Purposes.
The subject of good public roads at
tracts. and deserves. a great deal of
attention 1t is a subject in which
farmers have greater financial stake
than they have realized While the
roads remain as they are the farmers
are constantly losing money by the de
lays and difficulties of getting their
produce to market If extensive re-
pairs and reeonstructions are attempted
the taxes on farm property will be con-
siderably increased. If the money paid
for putting the roads in order il ex-
pended by people who understand
making roads, and who are honest as
well as intelligent. it will be profitably
invested. Good roads cost. but they
also pay. We ought to have them.
To some extent the principles which
are involved in making and maintain
ing highways also apply to farm roads
If no roads are provided, or if the roads
which are made are not kept in order
the difficulty, and consequently the ex-
pense. of moving loads to and from the
barn is considerably increased. To
provide and keep in order good farm
roads will involve some expense. but
the cost will be many times repaid by
the increased facilities they afford for
carrying on some OF the important farm
operations.
While every farm of much size needs
one or more good roads over which the
heavier loads should be drawn there
are places which are in more urgent
need of attention than are the farms as
a whole.
Wet or soft spots and hillsides should
have good road beds, even if a general
system of road making for the farm
cannot Immediately be adopted. 1t
probably requires more than twice the
power to draw a given load through
one of the ''mud-holes' which are
found on SO many farms that it does to

of Great Fair.

Especial Chicago Correspondence
The great worlds fair is practically
a thing of the past and the wonderful
White City will soon be but memory
of vanished splendor. 1t was wisely
concluded by the management that the
limit of time fixed at its inception was
the proper time to close the fair and
the order was sent forth that the last
day of October should witness the clos
ing exercises.
This certainly was the wisest plan.
as it was better to wind up the EXPOSE
ton in a blaze of glory, such as has
surrounded its last days, than to con-
tinue it through an extended season
and run the risk of having it close in a
state of physical and financial decrepi-
tude. The people have been here and
oeheld the wonder of the age; the fair
has fulfilled its mission, and it was
much better to have it end IN the
midst of its splendor and pass into his
tory as a magnificent success than to
be remembered throughout all coming
time as the expensive failure it would
most assuredly become were it to be
continued another six months.
With the announcement of the clos
ing the exhibitors began planning for
their departure to distant lands. and
the preliminaries of breaking up were
begun. Many of the Midway people
will continue in their places a short
time longer, or so long as there is any
profit in remaining. But as for the
fair proper that will undoubtedly be in
ruins very shortly.
The closing days of the exposition
have been crowded with interesting
events. There have been gorgeous pag-
eants, congresses of the worlds lead
ing thinkers and reformers, special en-
tertainments, banquets to leading Off
eials. and. as one jolly individual from
the country remarked, "a general hur-
rah all round"
There is no doubt but that our Chi
cago worlds fair will be the theme that
will ousily engage the tongues of the

the wheel to move it to Coney Island,
or Conveys Island, or whatever it is,
but the company thought it best to
keep it right here in Chicago, and here
it will remain for an indefinite time.
The executive officers have positively
decided to do this. and their action set
ties it The big wheel will stay in the
Midway.
1t is part of the company's contract
that it shall have the right OF the posi-.

believed that by that time a more
permanent arrangement for the right
will have been closed with the park
commissioners.
This decision on the part of the COM
pany to keep here in Chicago one of
the most interesting features of the
fair will be commended By the people
and the thousands of visitors who will
come to Chicago in the future to see
