To Get Good Roads.

The proper way to obtain good roads
is for the people to hold conventions and
educate the public to knowledge of
the great advantages that will result
from good roads. Then proper laws can
be passed by the state Legislatures and
the roads Of state can be built sys
Dramatically and in accordance with the
best engineering skill. The farmer reaps
the great benefit from good roads. His
land is not only enhanced in value, but
the good roads allow him to haul his
produce and farm products to railway
stations for the market all the year
round. He can thus take advantage of
the market to sell his products when
prices are high, no matter in what time
of the year. Exchange

General stones Ideal Road.

The ideal road recommended by Gen
eral Stone of the agricultural depart
mcnt good roads bureau for most condi-
tons is one that will drain itself in wet
weather and will be so firmly construct
ed that dust will be impossible 1t is
made by first digging out all superfluous
earth to a level of about two feet below
grade. Then a layer of rough, heavy
cracked stone nearly foot thick is
spread. Over this roadbed is laid sec
ond one Of stones crushed to smaller
pieces about six inches deep. The road
is then levelcd and the final layer of
gravel is applied. 1t is good and cheap

He Saw the Minister.

There was once Scotch farmer,
famed for his strength, who was often
challenged by people from distance
who had heard of his reputation. One
day there arrived from London Lord D.,
a well known amateur pugilist. He
found the Scot working in field.
Friend said his lordship after first
tying his horse to a tree, II have come
a long way to see which of US is the
better wrestler" Without saying word
the farmer seized him round the mid
die, pitched him over the hedge and
resumed his work. His lordship slowly
gathered himself together, whereupon
the farmer said "Well, have you any
thing more to say to me?'' NO." re-
piled Lord d., ''but perhaps you'll be
SO good as to throw me my horse''

ROAD SOFT, TIRES NARROW.

enormously increased. New Jersey is
taking decided steps in this connection
10y providing for rebate of taxes up to
81 per wheel for wagons having tires
over four inches in width and by late
ly permitting cities and towns to pass
ordinances absolutely prohibiting the
use of their streets by narrow tires sup
porting heavy loads.
Narrow tires are wrong in principle,
even when used on dirt roads In exper-
iments made on the United States road
exhibit at the Atlanta exposition it was
shown that just twice as much power
was required to haul load over wet
clay road cut up by two inch tires as to
pull the same load over the same road
rolled and consolidated by four to five
inch tires.
Foreign countries, where good roads
are the rule and not the exception, rec
OgniZe the valne of broad tires in the
transport of heavy loads and make their
use compulsory French market wagons,
fer example, have tires ranging in width
from three to ten inches, according to
load, and the tires are usually from four
to six inches wide.
a general rule laid down in Ontario,
Canada, is that for wagons WITHOUT
springs no tire should be less than 21a
inches wide for load of 500 to 1000
pounds on each wheel, and not less than
6 inches wide for loads Of 1000 to 3, 900
pounds on each wheel. The French prac-
tice Of making the front axle shorter
than the rear one, so that the two sets
Of wheels may not follow in the same
track, is another excellent provision, as
1t converts the broad tired wagon into
an efficient road roller.

NARROW WAGON TIRES.
Their Use Is Wrong In Principle Even on
Common Dirt Roads.

In the framing of road laws there is
something else to be considered quite
as important as the encouragement of
cheap roads, and that is the decided
encouragement of narrow wagon tires,
says Engineering News 1t is evidently
the worst type of economic folly to ex-
pend large sums i'll constructing good
roads and then to permit these roads to
be used, or rather abused, by vehicles
which often concentrate from two to
five tons ON tires only two inches wide.

built, and the maintenance account is
