The citizens rushed from their
houses and made quick speed to the

No one who has given the subject
close thought can doubt the moral and
sentimental value of good roads The
successful maintenance of schools and
churches and the spreading of their
good influences is directly dependent
upon the character of the highways.
The social life of the country is quick
ened or suppressed as the roads become
good or bad. The youth Of the coun-
try leaves the farms mainly for the rea-
son that the social advantages are so
often sadly hedged about by impossible
mud roads. Isolation, ignorance, crime,
is the universally accepted course Of
things
But alasl sentiment is something
that 1t is difficult to deal with in a sta
tistical way. The business side Of the
road question appeals to all. The fol-
lowing from the Bay City (Mich.) Trib-
une tells the story-the old. old story:
"a farmer from Saginaw county
brought in a load of grain yesterday TO
be ground. Although living much near
er Saginaw than This city, he stated that
it was impossible for him to draw a load
of grain to Saginaw on account of the
condition Of the roads. He came into
the city without any trouble on Bay
county's stone roads, and be is positive
that the failure of Saginaw to get
sugar factory was due to the poor con-
dition Of the roads in that county.
While in the city this farmer made ar
rangements TO rent 90 acres Of land
west Of this city for six dollars per acre,
and he will grow ten acres of beets and
ten acres of chicory. He will rent his
farm near Saginaw for two dollars an
acre, there being a difference Of four
dollars per acre in the relative values OF
the two farms on account of good roads
and a market for products in Bay
county"
The same conditions are TO be found
in thousands Of localities, and the peo-
pie are beginning to ask if there IS never
to be any advancement along the lines
OF road making and road keepingH p
Good Roads.

WiII Last for Generntinn.

A macadam road, when once il is
properly constructed, needs but little
repairing, and lasts for generations
as has been indisputably and repeated
" proven in England and on the
European continent. A stone road
poorly built for want of successful
rolling, even with excellent material
can be but poor highway at best.
Many so-called macadam roads, recent
~ built by inexperienced men, or with
out the proper use Of good road rollers.
are continually going to pieces by the
wearing of ruts and the subsequent
combined action of water and travel.
A heavily loaded wagon, with its entire
weight resting upon four narrow tired
wheels, exerts tremendous pressure
upon a small space, far greater than
that exerted 10y the broad surface of
the road roller. Every wagon wheel
has a great tendency to displace the
PARTICLES Of road material, by crowding
hem both downward and sideward |
Hence the necessity of exercising the
greatest pains and the utmost care in
thoroughly packing, rolling, and hard
ming any macadam road.
