NOW COUNTRY ROADS AaE "FxgD.'
After rzuch Pioving and scrapins

After rzucis Plo1ing and scrapins q
euit Is an Abozninatio.i.
The general discussion in re- to
roadways, the hue and cry for il 9e-
ments, has led to GONE changes II. IN
ticipated OF desired, says The Cultivator
and Country Gentleman, and there is d
great deal Of truth in its remarks, as any
one who has bad any experience in rid
ing ov2r country roads after they have
been Nxed" can attest.
Here is stretch of road with turf
strip on each side between the road and
fences. The winding way, hsumed by
greensward and shaded by trees, is pic
tnresqtto at least. It is what people like
to see in the country. They do not ex-
pect a curbed street witl, fa4ged gut
terb. The ttlrfed sides provide a walk
for those who so on foot--for oil people
In the country do not ride. This bit Of
road has net been mendea for years; it
needs no frl6tiding; it is hard, smooth,
with a sandy stibBtratufn that keeps it
we'll drained; it casnot be improved in
any way, and if al roads were as GOOD
as II nothfng would be seid about Bad
rouds.
Bat the highway surveyor" (as the
town official who mends roads is called).
perhaps sprrrred on by the discussion, at
tacks the strip of road in question and
spoils it, He plows up the roadside turf
and scrapes all turf, loan and sand into
the middle of the road, rounds 1t up,
and believes that he has rebuilt and i'm
proved it. This is a mistake. A clean,
hard road is changed into mudhnie
and quagrnire Persons on foot have
only the middle of the way, and when
they meet teams they are driven into the
gutter ankle deep in mud, for the sur
veyor plowed deep and made a gutter
which gullies whenever the rain falls.
The road will not be 1nolested again for
several years and will gradually wear
down and be safe to travel over again
about the time the surveyor or his sue
cessor appears and '.mends" again.
In some places farmers work out
part of their taxes by working on the
highways, and in other places the town
makes q contract with a farmer to keep
the roads In repair. The farmer has no
time for roads until his farm work is
done in the fall, the worst time in the
year to repair roads. when he plows and
scrapes and rounds up. During the fall
and spring and perhaps all winter, if
the winter is open, the new road is the
worst on the circuit--a stretch of mud
through which all teams and9ootpassen-
gers must go. And they.ca1l this rosd
Improvement It is not. 1t is road dam
aging, pure and simple, and tho more
this kind of roadbuilding is practiced
the greater is the inconvenience, the
greater the wear ana tear and the cost of
maintaining al wagon and harness gear.
and, forsooth, the greater the hue and
cry about bad roads.
