Many farmers today send their prod
uce to market by railroad because the
roads are so muddy and bad. There is
more wear and tear on horsefesh and
wagons than could be paid for by the
saving OH transportation charges. It
would be delight and pleasure to many
farmers in the winter and spring to car
ry their farm products to market by
wagon if the roads were hard and smooth
Good roads can be obtained better by the
farmers taking an interest in the matter
than by state legislation. The latter
never accomplishes an object so we'll as
local boards and improvement commit.
tees. When farmers have the same
amount of local pride that some subur-
ban villagers have, they will make the
roads along their farms harmonic with
the appearance of their we'll cultivated
fields.
There is a lack Of interest in the mat
ter when we see thrifty barnyards, build
ings, fields and fences, but wretchedly
bad roads. And yet this is the case in
many parts of the country. The great
essential thing is to devote more atten-
ton to one part of the road until it is
finished, and not spread out the work
over several miles, doing no part any
particular good. The labor is then gen
orally lost, for the first winter will de-
stroy all of the improvements. If every
farmer would take a piece of road 100
yards in length in front Of his house and
fix it up into the right shape, finishing it
completely before turning his attention
to anything else, he would do a lasting
benefit to his country. The following
year it will need some slight repairs, and
then another 100 yards can be finished.
In the course of a few years we would
have the finest roads in the rural districts
that can be found in any part of tie

The question of the right of county
courts to appropriate and expend two
thirds of the tax derived from the sale
Of dramshop licenses for the improve
ment of county roads was brought from
Jackson county, No., to the supreme
court at Jefferson City.
Kansas City wanted to retain the
moneys thus arising from the sale Of
licenses for the use Of the city and petit
toned for writ restraining the county
court from so using the said moneys.
But the superior court holds that the
law making this provision was good, and
that the county courts were empowered
to appropriate and expend money thus
raised for the improvement of county
roads. This settles much vexed ques-
ton, as several cities of that state have
held that the revenues arising from the
sale of licenses should be used only for
the benefit of the city wherein were To-
Gated the MISUNDERSTANDING.

FARMERS, STOP AND THINK

why Struggle Through Mud and nItre
When Good Roads Cost No More?
The rural population may now e.
claim, with the Duke of Gloster, CHOW
is the winter of our discontent," and
may add on it's own account that the
spring prospect offers no hope that the
clouds will be lifted. But with the re-
turn of summer and consequent drying
up and temporary hardening Of the high
ways the farmer forgets the lesson he
has been taught and thinks no more of
mud and impossible roads and wrecked
wagons and broken down horses. He is
like the man who couldn't mend the
roof Of his cabin when it was raining
and wouldn't when the sun shone be-
cause it didn't leak.
To disinterested observer the atti-
tude of the average farmer toward the
movement for better roads is inexplica-
BILE. Year after year he goes on in the
same old rut, running his temper and in
curing needless expense IN wagons and
horses simply because he won't stop to
think. Experience has proved that
enough money is annually expended in
useless tinkering by ignorant roadmas-
tiers to keep the roads of the country in
passable if not first class condition. In
stead of passively submitting to exist
ing conditions the farmers should COM
bine with view Of having the time and
money now wasted judiciously and in

usually wholly incompetent. His knowl-
edge Of road building and repairing has
been acquired by working out his taxes
probably, and his prime object is to fin
ish the work assigned to him with the
least outlay Of labor consistent with
drawing his salary. His method of pro-
cedure consists in dumping washings
from the roadside into the middle of the
highway-which is the very material
most injurious to the road-there to re-
main in sitting dust OF sticky mud until
kindly rains have again swept it to the

in mind just such road and an equally
capable roadmaster. In a town on Long

that region had, through the action Of

with a corresponding clogging of the SO
called ditch. Instead of clearing the
bitches and cartinga away the powdery
earth, which had produced a luxuriant
growth of grass and weeds, he plowed it

fetree-which the driver, by the way,
calls whippletrie. This sort of disas-
ter is apt to take place on some lonely
stretch Of road where there are no
houses, and where, if the damage be so
great that help must be had, it cannot be
got without half mile tramp to the
nearest dwelling.
The alienation of hill and drifts and
vale and mud does not occur, of course,
on the roads of the prairie states or any
other fiat region, but the billy roads,
after all, have certain advantages, for
where there are hills there is gravel,
and there are stones, and these tend to
mitigate in some degree the depth Of the
mud. But the level reaches Of western
New York and of Illinois and Iowa and
Kansas and Nebraska are stoneless, and
the soil is deep, and when soaked with
the combined moistures of melting SHOWS
and copious spring rains is of about the
same consistency as dough-that is, too
wet. .E.
The roads that traverse the strip of
western New York country that lies
between the Ridge natural road that
was in geological cons the shore of a
vast inland sea-and Lake Ontario are
quite as fathomless at breaking up time
as are any that exist in the fiat states
of the west. Those more fortunate in
dividuals who live on and south of The
Ridge have much enjoyment of the
vernal plight of their friends who dwell
in what they all call the Black North.
There are many stories told of the foun-
behring's about of the Black North men
at this season Of the year, and here is
one. It is possibly an exaggeration, but
it has amused many generations Of Ridge
folks, and in the language of the present
day sit goes"
Living in that section of the Black
North that is bisected by an imaginary
line drawn from Brockport, on the New
York Central railroad, to the pole star,

Of butter to get ansadvance Of cents q
